Reflections on Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 73

2:73
فقلنا اضربوه ببعضها كذالك يحيي الله الموتى ويريكم اياته لعلكم تعقلون ٧٣
فَقُلْنَا ٱضْرِبُوهُ بِبَعْضِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُحْىِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ٧٣
فَقُلۡنَاﱺ
ٱضۡرِبُوهُﱻ
بِبَعۡضِهَاۚﱼﱽ
كَذَٰلِكَﱾ

ٱللَّهُﲀ
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰﲁ
وَيُرِيكُمۡﲂ
ءَايَٰتِهِۦﲃ
لَعَلَّكُمۡﲄ
تَعۡقِلُونَﲅ
