2. The Cow : Interpretation (7)

  1. Muhammad said that Satan runs away from any house in which this surah is recited. 2:1-286
  2. "Alif. Lam. Mim."
    Many surahs start with three Arabic letters. No one knows why. But I have a theory. The mysterious letters (Alif. Lam. Mim.) are the Quranic equivalent of WTF. 2:1
  3. Muslims can't eat carrion, pork, blood, or anything sacrificed to another god. 2:173
  4. The Republicans should like this verse. It forbids what Tea Baggers they like to call the "death tax." So when a rich Muslim dies, he must leave all of his wealth to his family. 2:180
  5. "Be not cast by your own hands to ruin."
    Some Muslims interpret this to forbid suicide bombings. 2:195
  6. "Beautified is the life of the world for those who disbelieve; they make a jest of the believers."
    Yes life is beautiful to us unbelievers and we like to laugh at believers! 2:212
  7. Is it OK to drink alcohol? 2:219
