Juz 26
Call to arms (context: before a battle against persecution). Allah will guide believers to victory, they will be rewarded. Calls for sacrifice for the cause; Many lines involve deeds being rewarded or voided, based on one’s beliefs.
Enemies to be fought until they can’t persecute any more. Captives to be taken and released.
Can’t share my thoughts within limit. Must study further.

J22 33:53
Quran.com:
O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission and if invited for a meal, do not come too early and linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter on time. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth.

Ch 32 The Adoration
Nice microcosm of Genesis

Juz 17
Ch 21 The Prophets
Claims biblical legends were prophets sent to uplift and teach humanity, rather than a warning against disbelief, of punishment, as most chapters seem to say.
Ch 22 The Pilgrimage
In the Last Hour, disbelievers will face violent punishment (boiling water poured over head, etc). Muslims may fight their oppressors and Allah will guide them to victory regardless of how outnumbered they are.
