said, "Whoever recites ten Ayat from Surat Al-Baqarah in a night, then Satan will not enter his house that night. (These ten Ayat are) four from the beginning, Ayat Al-Kursi (255), the following two Ayat (256-257) and the last three Ayat." Verse 255 is "The Throne Verse" ( ). It is the most famous verse of the Quran and is widely memorized and displayed in the Islamic world due to its emphatic description of God's omnipotence in Islam. Verse 256 is one of the most quoted verses in the Quran. It famously notes that "There is no compulsion in religion". Two other verses, 285 and 286, are sometimes considered part of "The Throne Verse". 256 No compulsion in religion 282 "Verse of Loan and Women's testimony" Verse 2:282 covers two specific Islamic jurisprudence issues: (1) undertaking a loan and (2) the status of women's testimony. Amin Ahsan Islahi in his Tafsir of Surah al-Baqarah says when there is a loan transaction for a specific period of time, it must be formally written down. Both the lender and the debtor must trust the writer. There must be two witnesses: two men, or one man and two women. The security of the writer must be guaranteed. The length of the contract should be stated exactly. al-Jalalayn says, "summon to bear witness the debt two witnesses men mature Muslim free men; or if the two witnesses be not men then one man and two women" Moses Moses is referenced several times in Al-Baqara: Appraisals of Moses: Q2:136 The prophet whom God spoke to: Q2:253 The Torah: Q2:41-44; 2:53; 2:87 Moses' miracle: Q2:56, Q2:60, Q2:92, Q2:211 Moses and the Pharaoh Moses and his followers were safe: Q2:50 Pharaoh's and his army: Q2:50 The Pharaoh punished the Israelites: Q2:49 Travel to the Promised Land The Israelites entered the Promised Land: Q2:58 Moses' dialogue with God: Q2:51 The Israelites worshipped the calf: Q2:51-54, Q2:92-93 Refusal of the Israelites: Q2:246-249 Attributes of the Israelites: Q2:41-44; 2:55-59; 2:61-71; 2:74-76; 2:83; 2:93-6; 2:100-101; 2:104; 2:108; 2:140-142; 2:246-249 See also Ayatul Kursi Al-Baqara 256 Verse of Loan Notes References External links Q2:30, 50+ translations, islamawakened.com "The Cow", a manuscript, dating from the 13th-century, of the al-Baqarah via the World Digital Library Qur'anic Verses, a manuscript for al-Baqarah from the 13th-century Surah Al-Baqarah Surah Al-Baqarah Cattle in literature Chapters in the Quran Cattle in religion Jihad
