Chapter #2 Answers.

Chapter two essentially states that Islam means surrender to God, and Muslims are those who have surrendered to Him. Furthermore everything except for humans has already innately surrendered to Allah, as they chose not to receive free will. Humans were the only species to choose to have free will, and they were given this ability to receive love akin to that of parents receiving love from their children. In addition to free will we also have Fitrah, a moral compass that guides us away from just following our animal desires and helps us surrender to God. Muhammad also claims that everyone is born a Muslim, but because of their parents some become Christians or Jews etc.
