About

The opening segment of the Qur’an from Verse 1 to Verse 20 is phenomenal. It is truly appreciated after reading the opening Meccan chapter, surah Al Fatihah, which ends with

“Guide us to the straight path….” 1:6

It’s a dua, a request, asking to be guided and not be from amongst those who have earned the anger of Allah and those who have gone astray. So, then Surah Al-Baqarah opens by declaring categorically that this path is the path of the Qur’an, in which there is no doubt!!! These collections of videos justify this claim and then explain the words of Allah where Allah points out further who these people are with their detailed characteristics, the believers. Finally, we disclose those who are astray and their traits in detail starting with the disbelievers then those who are most harmful, the Hypocrites.
