Is Ayatul Kursi only verse 255 of Surah Baqara or does it include the next two verses as well?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, the two verses are included because many of our leading Scholars relying on authentic Hadeeths say that according to precaution, Ayatul Kursi is three verses ending with Khalidoon.

In Surah al-Baqara 2:178 what does "the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman" mean? If a slave kills a free man, would the master of the slave be killed and vice versa?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah (SWT) has ordered us to take the meanings of Quran from the Prophet (SAWA) as he is responsible to explain to the people what was been revealed to guide them ( 16:44).

The Prophet himself has clearly stated that  the purified persons meant in Quran 33:33 are Ahlul Bayt who are Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain (AS). (Saheeh Muslim, Hadeeth 4450, Tirmithi; Hadeeth 3129 and 3719). 
'The Prophet (SAWA) did not allow any of his wives to join the purified who are Ahlul Bayt only.  (Tirmithi: Hadeeth 3806)

How is the undoubted faith considered a characteristic of success in the perspective of Surah al-Baqarah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah (SWT ) says in Surah Al Baqarah Verse 3 about the pious
believers that they are those:  Who believe in the Ghaib (the unseen) , And establish prayers and spend out of what we have provided for them”.

The faith of the believer does not contain doubts because doubts
vanish where faith exists.

 There is no real success in life without true faith, and true faith can never exist with doubt.

Wassalam.
