The surah addresses a wide variety of topics, including substantial amounts oflaw, and retells stories of Adam, Abraham and Moses. Surah al-Baqarah enjoins fasting on the believer during the month ofRamadan. The surah's name references verses 66-72 which recall the story of a heifer sacrificed by the Israelites. The chapter comprises 286 verses (ayat) according to the division ofAli, the most widely accepted count among all Muslim denominations, and includes the single longest verse in the Qur'an (2:282). It is also considered to be one of the first chapters revealed after the Hijra from Mecca toMedina. It is a Medinan sura (revealed to Muhammad when he was at Medina), with the exception of verse 281 which Muslims believe was revealed during The Farewell Pilgrimage. The Cow or Sūrat al-Baqarah (Arabic: سورة البقرة, "The Cow") is the second and longest chapter (Surah) of the Qur'an. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn. In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
