A preposition confusion

If i am asked to write an essay or paragraph on "The Cow". Does that mean a specific cow or any cow.

If the instructions include a picture of or reference to a cow, then the topic is that specific animal. If the instructions to not refer to a specific animal, then it is the general topic on mature female domesticated bovines. com/Tell-the-Difference-Between-Bulls,-Cows,-Steers-and-Heifers

My guess is that the assignment is to write about the Surah of that title. When a common noun is capitalized, it's usually part of a title.

I suppose you could say that a surah is to the Koran as a chapter is to the Bible. Roughly.

Perhaps I am being extra slow today, but I still don't understand what it means in Vorpar's post.
