Selain itu, kandungan utama yang dibawa dalam surat dengan total 43 ayat ini, membahas tentang masalah tauhid, ma'ad, wahyu, dan ajakan kepada manusia untuk berpikir tentang kondisi dan nasib yang menimpa umat-umat terdahulu. Sekaligus peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlaku di alam semesta.
Dari Abu Asy Syaikh dalam buku Al-Itqan fi Ulumil Qur'an: Samudra Ilmu-Ilmu al-Qur'an karya Imam Jaluddin al-Suyuthi, mengeluarkan riwayat dari Qatadah yang menyebutkan bahwa surah ini turun di kota Madinah dan tergolong dalam surah Madaniyah kecuali satu ayatnya.

"Surat Ar Ra'd itu Madaniyah, kecuali satu ayat, yaitu firman Allah SWT ayat ke 31," tulis buku tersebut.
Adapun bacaan surat Ar Ra'd ayat 28 yang menyinggung soal keutaman berzikir, dapat disimak selengkapnya pada pemaparan berikut,
Surah 13 ayat 28 Arab, latin, dan artinya
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوب
Bacaan latin: Allażīna āmanụ wa taṭma`innu qulụbuhum biżikrillāh, alā biżikrillāhi taṭma`innul-qulụb
Artinya: "(yaitu) orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingat Allah hati menjadi tenteram."
Melansir dari tafisr Al Quran Kemenag, surat ini menjelaskan tentang keutamaan berzikir dengan mengingat nama Allah SWT. Melalui zikir, mereka akan menjalani kehidupan sehari-hari dengan hati yang tentram dan jiwa yang tenang.
Keadaan tersebut dapat mendorong seseorang untuk melakukan hal-hal baik dan merasa bahagia dengan segala kebajikan yang dilakukannya.
"Dengan mengingat Allah, hati menjadi tenteram dan jiwa menjadi tenang, tidak merasa gelisah, takut, ataupun khawatir," tulis Kemenag.
Senada dengan itu, tafsir dari Ibnu Katsir menyebutkan kalimat 'hanya dengan mengingat Allah hati menjadi tenteram' dalam surah13 ayat 28 juga dapat bermakna Allah SWT adalah Dzat yang wajib diingat hambaNya.
Sebab itulah, melalui surat ini, Allah SWT secara tersirat menganjurkan umatnya untuk berzikir. Pasalnya, secara istilah zikir memiliki arti menyebut dan mengucapkan nama Allah SWT (asmaul husna) atau menjagaNya dalam ingatan (mengingat).
Keutamaan zikir lainnya juga pernah disebutkan Rasulullah SAW dalam salah satu haditsnya. Beliau bersabda,
"Sungguh, aku duduk bersama beberapa orang yang berdzikir kepada Allah SWT setelah salat Subuh hingga matahari terbit lebih aku sukai daripada memerdekakan empat keturunan Nabi Ismail. Sungguh, aku duduk bersama beberapa orang yang berzikir kepada Allah Ta'ala setelah salat Ashar hingga terbenamnya matahari lebih aku sukai daripada memerdekakan empat orang." (HR Abu Dawud dan dihasankan oleh Syekh Al-Albani dalam Shahih Abi Dawud 2/698).
Setelah memahami makna dari surah 13 ayat 28, yuk kita sama-sama mulai rutinkan bacaan zikir kepada Allah SWT, detikers!
They used to ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?
The Surah takes its name from the word al-waqi`ah of the very first verse.
Period of RevelationAccording to the chronological order that Hadrat Abdullah bin Abbas has given of the Surahs, first Surah Ta Ha was sent down, then Al-Waqi'ah and then Ash-Shu`ara'(Suyuti: Al-Itqan). The same sequence has been reported from Ikrimah (Baihaqi: Dala'il an Nubuwwat). This is supported also by the story that Ibn Hisham has related from Ibn Ishaq about the affirmation of the Faith by Hadrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). It says that when Hadarat Umar entered his sister's house, Surah Ta Ha was being recited. Hearing his voice the people of the house hid the pages of the Qur'an. Hadrat Umar first seized his brother-in-law and then his sister rose in defense of her husband, he hit her also and wounded her on the head. When Umar saw blood on his sister, he was sorry for what he had done, and said to her: "Show me the manuscript that you have concealed so that I may see what it contains." The sister said: "You are unclean because of your polytheism: wa anna-hu la yamassu-ha ill-at-tahir: "Only a clean person can touch it." So, Hadrat Umar rose and washed himself, and then took up the manuscript to read it. This shows that Sarah Al-Waqi'ah had been sent down by that time for it contains the verse: La yamassu hu ill al mutahharun; and it had been established historically that Hadrat Umar embraced Islam after the first migration to Habash, in the fifth year of the Prophethood.Theme and Subject MatterIts theme is the Hereafter, Tauhid and refutation of the Makkan disbelievers' suspicions about the Qur'an. What they regarded as utterly incredible was that Resurrection would ever take place, then the entire system of the earth and heavens would be upset, and when all the dead would be resurrected and called to account, after which the righteous would be admitted to Paradise and the wicked cast into Hell. They regarded all this as imaginary, which could not possibly happen in actual fact. In answer to this, it was said: "When the inevitable event will take place, there will be none to belie its happening, nor will anyone have the Power to avert it, nor prove it to, be an unreal happening. At that time all peoples will be divided into three classes: (1) The foremost in rank and position; (2) the common righteous people and (3) those who denied the Hereafter and persisted in disbelief and polytheism and major sins till the last." How these three classes of the people will be rewarded and punished has been described in detail in vv. 7-56.Then, in vv. 57-74 arguments have been given, one after the other, to prove the truth of the two basic doctrines of Islam, which the disbelievers were refusing to accept, viz. the doctrines of Tauhid and the Hereafter. In these arguments, apart from every thing else that exists in the earth and heavens, man's attention has been drawn to his own body and to the food that he eats and to the water that he drinks and to the fire on which he cooks his food, and he has been invited to ponder the question : What right do you have to behave independently of, or serve any other than, the God Whose creative power has brought you into being, and Whose provisions sustain you And how can you entertain the idea that after having once brought you into existence He has become so helpless and powerless that He cannot recreate you once again even if he wills to?Then, in vv. 75-82 their suspicions in respect of the Qur'an have been refuted and they have been made to realize how unfortunate they are that instead of deriving any benefit from the great blessing that the Qur'an is, they are treating it with scant attention and have set only this share of theirs in it that they deny it. If one seriously considers this matchless argument that has been presented in two brief sentences about the truth of the Qur'an, one will find in it the same kind of firm and stable system as exists among the stars and planets of the Universe, and the same is the proof of the fact that its Author is the same Being Who has created the Universe. Then the disbelievers have been told that this Book is inscribed in that Writ of Destiny which is beyond the reach of the creatures, as if to say "You think it is brought down by the devils to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), whereas none but the pure angels has any access to the means by which it reaches Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from the well guarded Tablet."In conclusion, man has been warned, as if to say: "You may brad and boast as you like and may shut your eyes to the truths in your arrogance of independence, but death is enough to open your eyes. At death you become helpless: you cannot save your own parents; you cannot save your children; you cannot save your religious guided and beloved leaders. They all die in front of your vary eyes while you look on helplessly. If there is no supreme power ruling over you, and your this assumption is correct that you are all in all in the world, and there is no God, then why don't you restore to the dying person his soul?Just as you are helpless in this, so it is also beyond your power to stop Allah from calling the people to account and mete out rewards and punishments to them. You may or may not believe it, but every dying person will surely see his own end after death. If he belongs to those nearest to God, he will see the good end meant for them if he be from among the righteous, he will see the end prepared for the righteous; and if he be from among the deniers of the truth, he will see the end destined for the criminals.
Opening the discourse with this sentence by itself signifies that this is an answer to the objections that were than being raised in the disbelievers conferences against Resurrection. This was the time when the people of Makkah had just begun to hear the invitation to Islam from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (upon be Allah's peace and blessing). In it what seemed most astonishing and remote from reason to them was that the entire system of the earth and heavens would one day be overturned and then another world would be set up in which all the dead, of the former and the latter generations, would be resurrected. Bewildered they would ask: `This is just impossible ! Where will this earth, these oceans, these mountains, this moon and sun go? How will the centuries-old dead bodies rise up to life ? How can one in his senses believe that there will be another life after death and there will be gardens of Paradise and the fire of Hell ?" Such were the misgivings that were being expressed at that time everywhere in Makkah. It was against this background that it was said: "When the inevitable event happens, there shall be no one to belie it. "In this verse the word "wagi ah " (event) has been used for Resurrection, which nearly means the same thing as the English word 'inevitable', signifying thereby that it is something that must come to pass. Then, its happening has been described by the word "waqi ah, " which is used for the sudden occurrence of a disaster. Laisa li-waq'at-i-ha kadhibat-un can have two meanings:(1) That it will not be possible that its occurrence be averted, or stopped, or turned back; or, in other words, there will be no power to make it appear as an unreal event; and (2) that there will be no living being to tell the lie that the event has not taken place. 2Literally: "that which causes (something or somebody j to rise and to Fall. " Its one meaning can be that it will upset every order: it will turn things up-side-down. Another meaning also can be that it will exalt the lowly and bring low the high and mighty; that is, on its advent the decision as to who is noble and who is ignoble among the people will be made on quite a different basis. Those who posed as honorable people in the world, would become contemptible and those who were considered contemptible would become honorable. 3That is, it will not be a local earthquake that may occur in a restricted area, but it will shake the whole earth to its depths all of a sudden, and it will experience a tremendous jolt and tremors all through. 4Although the address apparently is directed to the people to whom this discourse was being recited, or who may read it or hear it read now, in fact the entire mankind is its addressee. All human beings who have been born since the first day of creation and will be born till the Day of Resurrection, will ultimately he divided into three classes.5The word maintanah in ashab al-maimanah, in the original, stay have been derived from Yamin, which means the right hand, and also from yumn, which means good omen. If it is taken to be derived from yamin, ashab almaimanah would mean: `those of the right hand." This, however, does not imply its lexical meaning, but it signifies the people of exalted rank and position. The Arabs regarded the right hand as a symbol of strength and eminence and honor, and therefore would seat a person whom they wished to do honor, on the right hand, in the assemblies. And if it is taken as derived from yumn, ashab almaimanah would mean fortunate and blessed people. 6The word mash 'amah in ashab al-mash'amah, in the original, is from shu'm which means misfortune, ill-luck and bad omen; in Arabic the left hand also is called shuma. The Arabs regarded shimal (the left hand) and shu'm (bad omen) as synonyms, the left hand being a symbol of weakness and indignity. If a bird flew left on the commencement of a journey, they would take it as a bad omen; if they made a person sit on their left, it meant they regarded him as a weak man. Therefore, ashab al-mash'amah implies ill-omened people, or those who would suffer disgrace and ignominy, and would be made to stand on the left side in the Court of Allah.7Sabiqin (the Foremost) implies the people who excelled others in virtue and love of the truth and in good works and responded to the call of Allah and His Messenger before others. They were also in the forefront in their response to the call for Jihad, for expending their wealth for the sake of the needy and for public services, or for inviting others to virtue and truth, in short, for spreading the good and wiping out evil and making sacrifices and exerting themselves whenever there was need for it. On this very basis, in the Hereafter too, they will be placed in the forefront.Thus, mankind, so to say, will be ranged in Allah's Court like this: On the right hand, there will be the righteous, on the left the wicked, and in the forefront (nearest in Divine Presence) the Sabiqin (the Foremost in Faith and good deeds). According to a Hadith reported by ,Hadrat `A'ishah the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) asked the people: "Do you know who, on the Day of Resurrection, will he the first to be accommodated under the Divine Shade ?" The people said Allah and His Messenger only had the best knowledge. Thereupon the Holy Prophet replied: "Those who were such that when the Truth was presented before them, they accepted it forthwith; when a right was asked of them, they discharged it gracefully; and their decision in respect of others was the same as in respect of their own selves." (Musnad Ahmad).8The commentators have differed as to who are implied by the former And the latter people '` One group of them has expressed the view that the "former people" were the communities that passed away since the time of the Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) till the time of the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings), and the ¦people of the latter day" those who will have lived in the world since the advent of the Holy Prophet till the Day of Resurrection. Accordingly the verse would mean: "The number of the Sabqin (the Foremost in Faith and good deeds) among the people who passed away during the thousands of years before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) would be greater, and the number of those who would attain to the rank of the Sabiqin among those people who have been born since the advent of the Holy Prophet, or will be born till the Day of Resurrection, will be less. " The second group says that the former and the latter in this verse imply the former and the latter people of the Holy Prophet's own Ummah itself. That is, in his Ummah the people belonging to the earliest period were the former among whom the number of the Sabiqin will be greater, and the people of the later periods are the latter among whom the number of the Sabiqin will be smaller.The third group holds the view that this- implies the former and the latter people of every Prophet's own Ummah. That is, there will be numerous Sabiqin among the earliest followers of every Prophet, but among his later followers their number will decrease. The words of the verse bear all the three meanings, and possibly all three ate implied, for there is no contradiction between them. Besides, they give another meaning also and that too is cornet: every early period of a Prophet's following the proportion of the Sabiqin in human population would be greater and in the later period less, for the number of the workers of good and right does not increase at the rate of increase of the human populations. They may be more numerous as against the Sabiqin of the earliest period. but on the whole their number as against the world population goes on becoming less and less.9This implies boys who will ever remain boys and stay young. Hadrat 'AIi and Hadrat Hasan Basri say that these will be those children of the people, who died before reaching their maturity; therefore, they will neither have any good works to their credit for which they may be rewarded, nor any evil deeds for which they may be punished, But obviously, this could imply those people who would not deserve Paradise. For, as for the true believers, about them Allah has guaranteed in the Qur'an that their children will be joined with them in Paradise (At-Tur: 21). This is also supported by the Hadith, which Abu Da'ud Tayalisi, Tabarani and Bazzar have related on the authority of Hadrat Anas and Hadrat Samurah bin Jundub, according to which the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) said that the children of the polytheists will be attendants of the people of Paradise. (For further explanation, see E.N. 26 of As-Saaffat, E.N. 19 of At-tur). 10For explanation, see E. N . 27 of As-Saaffat, E. N . 22 of Surah Muhammad, E. N. 18 of At-Tur.11For explanation, see E.N. 17 of Surah At-tur. 12For explanation, see E.N.'s 28, 29 of As-Saaffat, E.N. 42, of AdDukhan, E. N . 61 of Ar-Rahman. 13This is one of the major blessings of Paradise, which has been mentioned at several places in the Qur'an, viz. that in Paradise human ears will remain secure against idle and frivolous talk, lying, backbiting slander, invective, boasting and bragging, taunts and mockery, satire and sarcasm. It will not be a society of foul-mouthed, indecent people who will throw mud at each other, but a society of noble and civilized people free of such frivolities. A person who has been blessed with some decency of manner and sense by Allah can very well feel what an agony it is in worldly life a hope of deliverance from which has been given to man in Paradise. 14Some commentators and translators have taken the words, illa gilan salam-an salama, to m

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
Surah Al-Baqarah (bahasa Arab: سورة البقرة, translit. sūrah al-baqarah, har. 'Sapi') adalah surah ke-2 dalam Al-Qur'an, serta merupakan surah terpanjang.[1] Surah ini terdiri dari 286 ayat, 6.221 kata, dan 25.500 huruf dan tergolong surah Madaniyah. Surah ini diawali dengan huruf muqaṭṭa'āt A-L-M,[2][3] yang harus dibaca satu-satu (alif, lām, mīm).[4]
Surah ini juga dinamai Fustatul Qur'an (Puncak Al-Qur'an) karena memuat beberapa hukum yang tidak disebutkan dalam surah yang lain. Sebagai contoh, kewajiban bagi umat Muslim untuk puasa di bulan Ramadan;[5] larangan riba; dan ayat terkenal, Ayat Kursi, Surah al-Baqarah 256, dan tiga ayat terakhir. Ayat ini memiliki banyak sekali variasi topik seperti hukum-hukum, serta kisah Nabi Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham) dan Mūsa (Moses). Tema lainnya yang juga diangkat adalah ajakan bagi kaum Musyrikin dan Yahudi Madinah untuk masuk Islam, serta mengingatkan mereka serta orang munafik tentang nasib orang-orang terdahulu yang telah lalai.[6]
Sebagai surah Madaniyah, surah ini diyakini diwahyukan di Madinah dalam waktu yang cukup panjang setelah Hijrah, kecuali ayat riba yang diyakini diturunkan selama Haji Wadak, haji terakhir Nabi Muhammad.[7][8] Secara umum, ayat 281 dalam surah ini diyakini sebagai ayat terakhir yang diwahyukan, pada 10 Zulhijah 10 H, saat Nabi menjalani haji terakhirnya, 80 atau 90 hari sebelum wafatnya.[9]
Surah ini dinamai al-Baqarah yang artinya "sapi" sebab di dalam surah ini terdapat kisah penyembelihan sapi betina yang diperintahkan Allah kepada Bani Israil (ayat 67-74).
Muhammad (2010), hlm. 27 menyebutkan perkataan beberapa ahli tafsir tentang pokok isi surah ini.
Tiga golongan manusia dalam menghadapi al-Qur'an
Keesaan dan kekuasaan Allah
Setelah muqatta'at, Al-Baqarah dimulai dengan pernyataan bahwa al-Qur'an tidak memiliki keraguan serta menjadi petunjuk bagi orang yang takwa.[10] Takwa (taqwa) berasal dari akar kata Semitik W-Q-Y yang berarti "waspada dalam perlindungan".[4] Orang yang bertakwa adalah orang yang selalu menjalankan perintah Allah dan menjauhi larangan-Nya. Merekalah yang beriman kepada sesuatu yang gaib,[4] mendirikan salat, menunaikan zakat, meyakini kenabian Muhammad serta nabi-nabi terdahulu serta kitab-kitab yang diwahyukan Allah.[10]
Kemudian dibahas mengenai siapa itu orang-orang kafir dan munafik. Yang pertama, kafir dimaknai sebagai orang yang sama sekali menolak meyakini kebenaran, karena hati, penglihatan, dan pendengaran merela telah tertutup, dan akan diazab dengan keras.[11] Selanjutnya dibahas orang-orang munafik, yakni mereka berkata telah beriman kepada Allah dan Hari Akhir, tetapi sebenarnya mereka tidak meyakininya. Mereka mencoba untuk mendustakan Allah dan orang-orang beriman tetapi mereka mendustakan dirinya sendiri. Hati mereka sakit, lalu mereka diazab dengan keras oleh Allah. Orang-orang ini juga suka menyebarkan kerusakan di muka Bumi (fasad); mereka mengaku melakukan perbaikan, dan menyebut orang-orang beriman sebagai orang bodoh. Mereka mengaku beriman, tetapi begitu kembali kepada Setan, mereka mengakui kekafiran mereka, tetapi mereka tidak sadar bahwa Allah telah menipu mereka dan memperbanyak kesesatan mereka. Mereka akan terlibat dalam perdagangan yang tidak menguntungkan, membeli kesesatan dengan petunjuk. Ibarat orang yang menyalakan api dan merasa aman di sekelilingnya, tetapi Allah memadamkan api itu dan orang itu diselimuti kegelapan. Mereka tuli, bisu, dan buta. Atau seperti orang yang ditimpa badai petir dalam kegelapan, sehingga mereka menutup telinga karena takut akan kematian. Petir sangat terang sehingga hampir menghilangkan pandangan mereka, tetapi mereka berjalan ke arahnya setiap kali menyambar, dan tetap diam saat gelap.[12]
Umat manusia diperintahkan Tuhan yang telah menciptakan mereka agar mereka senantiasa bertakwa, kemudian Tuhan menjelaskan apa yang telah Ia ciptakan: Bumi sebagai hamparan dan langit sebagai atap, dan hujan turun dari langit untuk menumbuhkan buah-buahan sebagai rezeki. Umat manusia diperintahkan untuk tidak mengadakan sesembahan selain Allah. Mereka yang meragukan Al-Qur'an ditantang untuk membuat surah yang mirip dengannya. Mereka tak akan dapat memenuhi tantangan ini dan diminta untuk takut akan Neraka, yang bahan bakarnya manusia dan batu dan secara khusus disiapkan untuk orang-orang kafir.[13]
Kisah-kisah dalam surah ini diceritakan untuk memahami konsepsi teologis tentang kebenaran Islam.[14]
Ayat 8–20 dari Surah Al Baqarah mengacu pada orang munafik (Munafiqun). Saat Nabi Muhammad berada di fase Makkah, ada dua kelompok, mereka yang beriman dan musyrikin (kafir). Namun, setelah Hijrah ke Madinah, Muhammad harus berurusan dengan lawan dari mereka yang mengaku menerima Islam tetapi secara tersembunyi akan melawan Muslim. Pemimpin mereka adalah Abdullah bin Ubay yang akan dinobatkan menjadi pemimpin di wilayah tersebut sebelum kedatangan Muhammad di Madinah. Orang-orang munafik mendapat manfaat dari umat Islam tanpa kehilangan pergaulan mereka dengan orang-orang kafir. Mereka dianggap tidak setia kepada kedua belah pihak dan condong ke arah orang-orang yang paling menguntungkan mereka dalam arti duniawiah.
Terdapat dua konsep sifat munafik yakni:
Menurut ulama Kamaluddin Ahmed, sifat nifak adalah sesuatu yang ada di dalam hati, sehingga tidak ada yang tahu keberadaannya kecuali Allah. Oleh karena itu, tidak seorang pun dapat disebut munafik hanya sebatas dengan penilaian diri.
87-105 muncul dalam lapisan bawah dari Manuskrip Sana'a.[16]
Sungguh, Kami benar-benar telah menganugerahkan Kitab (Taurat) kepada Musa dan Kami menyusulkan setelahnya rasul-rasul. Kami juga telah menganugerahkan kepada Isa, putra Maryam, bukti-bukti kebenaran, serta Kami perkuat dia dengan Ruhulkudus (Jibril). Mengapa setiap kali rasul datang kepadamu (membawa) sesuatu (pelajaran) yang tidak kamu inginkan, kamu menyombongkan diri? Lalu, sebagian(-nya) kamu dustakan dan sebagian (yang lain) kamu bunuh?
Surah ini memuat banyak sekali topik, seperti perintah salat, puasa, berjuang di jalan Allah, haji, kisah mengenai pemindahan kiblat dari Yerusalem ke Makkah, nikah dan talak, perdagangan, utang piutang, serta riba.[6]
Khamr dan perjudian dibahas dalam surah ini,[17] dan itu hanya satu dari empat surah yang menyebut Nasrani alih-alih Ahli Kitab.[18]
Ayat 190–194 membahas mengenai hukum perang Islam.
Ayat 255 dikenal sebagai Ayat Kursi (آية الكرسي); merupakan ayat terkenal dalam al-Qur'an dan banyak dipajang sebagai kaligrafi. Di dalamnya memuat sifat-sifat Allah.
Diriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah, Nabi Muhammad bersabda:
Jangan menjadikan rumahmu seperti kuburan, karena setan akan lari dari rumah yang di dalamnya dibacakan Surah al-Baqarah.
— Hadis riwayat Muslim, no. 1860
Surah Al-Baqarah 256 dikenal sebagai ayat yang sangat terkenal dalam al-Qur'an, maknanya adalah "Tidak ada paksaan dalam agama." Dua ayat lainnya, 285 dan 286, terkadang dimasukkan sebagai "kelanjutan" Ayat Kursi.[19]
Ayat 2:282[20] membahas fikih: (1) utang piutang (2) kesaksian wanita.[21]
Amin Ahsan Islahi dalam Tafsir Surah al-Baqarah mengatakan ketika ada transaksi pinjaman untuk jangka waktu tertentu, itu harus ditulis dalam bentuk yang formal. Baik kreditur maupun debitur harus menyepakati apa yang ditulis dengan menghadirkan saksi dua laki-laki, atau satu laki-laki dan dua perempuan. Keamanan pinjaman harus dijamin. Panjang kontrak harus disebutkan dengan lengkap.[22][23]:2:282
al-Jalalain berkata, "yang dipanggil untuk menjadi saksi dalam berutang adalah dua orang laki-laki dewasa; atau jika kedua saksi itu bukan laki-laki maka satu laki-laki dan dua perempuan, serta harus Islam."[23]:2:282[24]
Musa disebut dalam ayat-ayat berikut:
