“Yesterday you read the Cow and finished the Cow and today you are reciting the Elephant, you will probably finish at midnight”.
The closest we can get to Allah in this Dunya is in Salah, particularly in prostration. We lower our knees and forehead to the earth, to the dirt the lowest of all elements. Not only does it instill humility in the depths of our souls but it also reminds us where we are from. We have been created from the earth, born in the wombs of our mothers, taking the journey of life and soon to taste death, returning us to the depths of the earth. Whereupon reality will become crystal clear…

I don't get it...?
Lol..
Surah Al Baqarah is the longest Surah in the Qur'an...
Surah Al Fil...is a short surah ... its called the chapter of the elephant...
Said bedouin assumed that the Chapter on the elephant...would be longer than the chapter of the cow since an elephant is larger than a cow...
Yeah...VEDDI VEDDI Confusing if you're not familiar with the names of the chapters in the holy Qur'an...interesting joke Mujji...
