One of the things that fascinates me about the Quran is the study of the connections between Surahs (chapters).
As an example, the last half of Surah Al-Fatihah (Surah #1) contains a plea for guidance – we beg of Allah to guide us.
At the beginning of the next page – in Surah #2 – Allah tells us about guidance and who it is for.
“This is the Book about which there is no doubt, guidance for those conscious of Allah.” [2:2]
And then He goes on to explain who God-conscious people are.

What a great insight Masha’Allah!
indeed it is a miracle and every ayah is providing guidance to mankind. May Allah give all guidance and do good in this life and next. Ameen.
Yes, and there are many such connections. Surat Al-Imran (3) begins with the initiating words from the most famous aya from the previous Surat Al-Baqara, Ayat Al-Kursi. And Surat Al-Falaq’s last aya mentions envy, which connects to the next Surat Al-Nass protecting against the most envious Satan’s influence.
Yes, absolutely fascinating. The Quran truly is a miracle, subhan’Allah 🙂
