Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(8)  وَمِنَ اُلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِاُللهِ وَبِاُلْيَوْمِ اُلْأَخِرِ وَمَاهُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
وَمِنَ اُلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ = "Wa Mi-nan~Na~si May~Ya-qu~lu", "Wa" = And, "Mi-na" = from, of, "an~Na~si" = the Mankind, "Man" = who, "Ya-qu~lu" = say,
ءَامَنَّا بِاُللهِ وَبِاُلْيَوْمِ اُلْأَخِرِ = "A~man~Na~ Bil-Lahi Wal-Yaw-mil-A~khi-ri", "A~man~Na~" we believe, "Bi" = in, "Al-Lohi" = Allah, "Wa" = and, "Bi" = in "al-Yaw-mi" = the day, "al-A~khi-ri" = the future,

"Wa Mi-nan~Na~si May~Ya-qu~lu A~man~na~ Bil-Lahi Wal-Yaw-mil-A~khi-ri Wa Ma~ Hum~Bi Muu-mi-ni~~n". = And some of the Mankind who say, "We believe in Allah and in the Future Day/the Hereafter", but they are not (the true) believers/ they are the hypocrites.
(9) يُخَدِعُونَ اُللهَ وَاُلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
يُخَدِعُونَ اُللهَ وَاُلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ = "Yu-kho~di-'u~nal-Loha Wal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~",  "Yu-kho-di-'u~na" = They deceive, "Al-Loha" = Allah, "Wa" = and, "al-La-dzi~na" = those who are, "A~ma-nu~" = believers,

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
 (2) Solat: The 'Awrat Of A Slave Girl And That Of A Free Woman (outside solat):
  Let us look into surah 24, An-Nur verses 31: " And say to all Muslima~t/Women Believers that they must lower their gaze (from looking at a man's 'awrat i.e. his part of body between his navel and his knees). And keep guard their private parts (cover them up and must not show them to others, and do not commit adultery), and they must not display their beauty and ornaments except those ordinarily apparent (that is their their faces and palms). And they must lower/draw their veils over/cover their bosoms, and do not display their beauty except to their husbands, or their masters (of the slave girls), or their fathers, or their husbands' fathers, or their sons, or their husbands' sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves they own, or male servants who have no sexual desire, or small children who have no knowledge of what sex is. And they must not stamp their feet so as to attract attention to their hidden ornaments/anklets. And (O Believers!) turn to Allah in repentance that all of you may succeed."
  This above mentioned verse explains the duty/responsibility of women Believers to cover their heads and hide/cover their physical beauty and also their ornaments they wear from the gaze and from the unlawful peoples' eyesights.
 Surah 33 Al-Ahzab, verse 53, Allah says," (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
