When Allah Declares War on Riba | Surah Al-Baqarah Recitation in Salah

Описание: This recitation by Imam Ragab Abdelmoneim opens with verses from Surah Al-Baqarah (0:02), immediately centering on Ayah 275, one of the most powerful warnings in the Qur’an. These verses describe the condition of those who engage in riba (usury), portraying their spiritual state with vivid imagery and profound seriousness. Allah establishes a clear divine boundary: trade has been permitted, yet riba has been forbidden, distinguishing lawful provision from destructive gain (1:05 – 2:17).

As the Salah continues, the recitation of Al-Fatihah (0:33 – 1:01, 3:04 – 3:33) reinforces the foundations of worship — divine mercy, lordship, accountability, and the believer’s constant plea for guidance. Within the rhythm of prayer, these verses remind us that every aspect of life ultimately returns to Allah’s wisdom, justice, and mercy.

The warning against riba deepens (3:37 – 4:34), where believers are commanded to remain conscious of Allah and abandon what remains of usury. The gravity of these verses is extraordinary. A declaration of war from Allah (SWT) and His Messenger for those who persist. Alongside this warning, divine mercy is also evident. Repentance restores justice, and patience toward those facing hardship is encouraged, elevating compassion, fairness, and ethical conduct.

The recitation then transitions to verses governing debt, contracts, and societal integrity (6:47 onward), including the longest verse in the Qur’an. These passages establish principles of transparency, documentation, and equity, reflecting Islam’s comprehensive guidance for protecting rights and preserving trust within financial dealings and human relationships.

Further verses (10:26 – 11:29) remind listeners that Allah (SWT’s) knowledge encompasses all things — what is visible and what remains hidden. Accountability before Allah is not limited to outward actions, but extends to intentions and inner states, reinforcing mindfulness and sincerity.

The majestic closing verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (11:34 – 12:42) carry immense spiritual significance. They affirm faith, inspire humility, and present one of the most beloved supplications in the Qur’an. The reminder that Allah (SWT) does not burden a soul beyond its capacity offers deep reassurance, balancing responsibility with divine compassion.

As the Salah continues (14:50 onward), Imam Ragab Abdelmoneim’s recitation moves into Surah Aal-Imran, where the verses emphasize Allah (SWT’s) sovereignty, the clarity of revelation, and the distinction between firm guidance and ambiguity. These passages call believers toward reflection, sincerity, and reliance upon divine wisdom.

Later verses (20:46 onward) draw attention to the temporary nature of worldly attractions, wealth, status, and desires, contrasted with the eternal rewards prepared for those who remain conscious of Allah. The recitation becomes a journey through remembrance, accountability, and hope.

Ya Allah, purify our hearts, our deeds, and our provisions. Grant us sincerity in worship, justice in our dealings, and humility before Your guidance. Make the Qur’an a light in our lives, forgive our shortcomings, and gather us among those who listen, reflect, and act upon Your words. Ameen.
