It is named after the incidence of the cow, which the Children of Israel were asked to slaughter by Allaah (SWT).

The story of the Creation of Adam (AS) and his expulsion along with his wife, are briefly described early on, and the narration progresses towards the Children of Israel. Allaah (SWT) lovingly addresses the People of the Book as Children of Israel and reminds them of the favors He granted them and chose them for His religion. The passages end with a stern warning to them to not reject the final Messenger of Allaah (SWT) and the middle of the surah is dedicated to the change of the direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Ka’bah, establishing the Muslim community as the central community of the world.
