Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(41) وَءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلْتُ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ~ أَوَّلَ كَافِرِم بِهِى  صلى وَلَا تَشْتَرُواْ بِئَايَتِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا وَإِيَّىَ فَاُتَّقُونِ
وَءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلْتُ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ = "Wa A~mi-nu~ Bi Ma~~ Anz~Zal-tu Mu-shod-di-qol-Li Ma~ Ma-'a Kum".  "Wa" = And, "A~mi-nu~" = believe in, "Bi Ma~" = with what, "Anz~zal Tu" = I brought down/revealed, "Mu-shod-di-qon" = confirming, "Li Ma~" = of what, "Ma-'a Kum" = with all of you. 
"Wa A~mi-nu~ Bi Ma~~ Anz~zal-tu Mu-shod-di-qol-Li Ma~ Ma-'a Kum" = And do believe in what I have revealed (the verses to you) confirming whatever (verses in the Scriptures) be with all of you (that you do possess).
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ أَوَّلَ كَافِرِم بِهِى = "Wa La~ Ta-ku~nu~~ Aw-wa-la Ka~fi-rim~Bih".  "Wa La~" = And do not, "Ta-ku~nu~" = all of you be, "Aw-wa-la" = first, "Ka~fi-rin" = to disbelieve/deny, "Bi Hi~" = in it.
"Wa La~ Ta-ku~nu~~ Aw-wa-la Ka~fi-rim~Bih". = And do not be the first to disbelieve/to deny it (but you all should be the first to believe in, and accept Muhammad and give your support to him).
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz.
وَلَا تَشْتَرُواْ بِئَايَتِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا وَإِيَّىَ فَاُتَّقُونِ = "Wa La~ Tasy-ta-ru~ Bi A~ya~ti~ THa-ma-nanq~Qo-li~law~Wa Iy-ya~ Ya Fat-Ta-qu~~n".  "Wa La~" = and do not, "Tasy-ta-ru~" = all of you sell, "Bi" = with, "A~ya~ti~" My verses, "THa-ma-nan" = price, "Qo-li~lan" = a little, "Wa" = and, "Iy-ya~" = onto, to, "Ya" =Me, "Fa" = then, "it-Ta-qu~ni" = all of you fear.
"Wa La~ Tasy-ta-ru~ Bi A~ya~ti~  THa-ma-nanq~Qo-li~law~Wa Iy-ya~ Ya Fat-Ta-qu~~n". = And do not sell My verses/ commandments for a little sum of money (O Clergymen of the Children of Israel! Do not give false explanation and clarification of My verses in the Scriptures about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad and also do not keep the verses about the truth of the Prophet s.a.w. a secret from the Children of Israel, so that you are paid with a little sum of money by those who do not want Muhammad be recognized and be accepted by them all). And to Me/Allah you all should fear.
(42) (to be continued).

Let us now continue to look into the incident of the Iblis was at enmity with Adam a.s.:surah 20 Toha, verse 120 till 123:
" Then the Satan whispered doubt into Adam a.s., he said, " Is it not better for me to show/tell you about this tree "Al-Khuldi"/ immortality (will live forever) and permenant sovereign power". Then Adam a.s. and Eve ate the fruits of the tree. Thence, their attires (which were made of the Nur/light) were slipped off their bodies. They both were trying hard to stick/put on their modesties with the tree leaves in the Paradise. Adam a.s. had disobeyed his Lord. and he became confused and had gone astray. Then Allah summoned both of them (to be continued).

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: The Solat must be in accordance with the solat performed by the Prophet s.a.w. The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Perform solat as you see me performing it".
 From Ibnu 'Abbas r.a. who said, "The Prophet s.a.w. said, " Archangel Gabriel a.s. had led me to solat (Gabriel a.s. was the Imam/leader, and the Prophet s.a.w. was the Maamum/follower) in front of the Caaba twice. He a.s. came for solat Zhuhur/midday for the first time when the sun was in the middle of the sky/overhead sun. Then he a.s. came for solat 'Ashor/afternoon when the length of the shadow of an object was of the same length as the object itself. Then he a.s. came again for solat Maghrib/sunset when the sun was setting and people broke their fast. Then he a.s. came for solat 'Isyaa/nightfall when the twilight/the red light after sunset vanished. Then he a.s. came for solat Shubu/dawn at dawn, when it is forbidden people to eat and drink if they want to fast. Then (on the following day), he a.s. came for solat Zhuhur/midday for the second time when the length of the shadow of an object is the same as the object itself (like) the coming of 'Ashor time, the day before. Then he a.s. came for solat 'Ashor when the shadow of an object was twice the length of the object itself. The he a.s. came for solat Maghrib when the twilight had disappeared. Then he a.s. came for solat 'Isyaa when the night had passed one third of the night. Then he a.s. came for solat Shubuh at sunrise. After that solat Subuh was completed, Gabriel a.s. turned to me and said, " Those were the solat times for all of the Prophets a.s. before you. And the solat (Fardhu) times (for you and your followers) are the times in between those two times". The Prophet s.a.w. was not only being taught about the times for solat Fardhu but was also taught the rituals of the solat and the Rokaat/bowing of each of those solat. The Zhuhur is 4 rokaat, the 'Ashor is 4, the Maghrib is 3, the 'Isyaa is 4 and the Shubuh is 2 rokaat.
