The Miracle of the Longest Surah of the Qur’an | Ramadan Reflections
“The Qur’an has no structure.” This is a common claim made by critics, but is it true? How does Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest surah in the Qur’an, actually reveal a perfect, interconnected design?
In this reflection, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy walks through the structure of Surah Al-Baqarah, showing how every verse is connected. From the failure of Banu Isra’il to the test of the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, every shift in the surah serves a purpose: to show what true submission looks like.
“Surah Al-Baqarah is the summary of Islam—submission to Allah, wholeheartedly and willingly.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy
“The Qur’an is all tied together. And this is the secret behind every surah.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy
