⭐ Core Definition: Final two verses of al Baqarah

Al-Baqarah verses 285–286 (Quran 2:285–286), also known "treasure from the Throne of Allah", are the final two verses of the second chapter of the Quran. They were verses given directly to the Prophet Muhammad during the Night Journey and Ascension, without the mediation of Angel Gabriel (Jibreel). This is a unique distinction, as most of the Qur’an was revealed through Gabriel.

According to Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, the Prophet during the Night Journey and Ascension was granted the four bestowings, one of them included these two verses and hence they hold exceptional theological and devotional value. The last two verses and the five daily prayers are among the most essential spiritual endowments granted to the Ummah. Muslims are encouraged to recite these verses regularly, especially before sleeping, as a means of getting huge reward throughout night while sleeping and seeking protection from the devils.

Final two verses of al Baqarah in the context of Al-Baqara

Al-Baqarah (Arabic: الْبَقَرَة, ’al-baqarah; lit. "The Heifer" or "The Cow"), also spelled as Al-Baqara, is the second and longest chapter (surah) of the Quran. It consists of 286 verses (āyāt) which begin with the "muqatta'at" letters alif (ا), lām (ل), and mīm (م). The Verse of Loan (the longest single verse of the Quran), the Throne Verse (the greatest verse), and the last 2 verses, Treasures of the Throne are in this chapter.

The sūrah encompasses a variety of topics and contains several commands for Muslims such as enjoining fasting on the believer during the month of Ramadan; forbidding interest or usury (riba); and several other famous verses such as the last two verses, which came from the treasure under Allah's Throne, and the verse of no compulsion in religion.The sūrah addresses a wide variety of topics, including substantial amounts of law, and retells stories of Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Mūsa (Moses). A major theme is guidance: urging the pagans (Al-Mushrikeen) and the Jews of Medina to embrace Islam, and warning them and the hypocrites (Munafiqun) of the fate God had visited in the past on those who failed to heed his call. The surah is also believed to be a means of protection from the jinn.
