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
(112) بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُو لِلهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُو~ أَجْرُهُو عِندَ رَبِّهِى وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُو لِلهِ = "Ba-la~ Man As-la-ma Wajj-ha Hu~ Lil-Lahi",  "Ba-la~" = Without doubt, "Man" = who, "As-la-ma" = turn to, surrender, "Wajj-ha" = face, self, "Hu~" = his, "Li" = to, "Al-lahi" = Allah,
وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُو~ أَجْرُهُو عِندَ رَبِّهِى = "Wa Hu-wa Muh-si-nunf~Fa La Hu~~ Ajj-ru Hu~ 'Ind~da Rob-bi Hi~",  "Wa" = and. "Hu-wa" = he, "Muh-si-nun" = does good, "Fa" = then, "La" = for, "Hu~" = him, "Ajj-ru" = reward, recompense, "Hu~" = it, " 'Ind~da" = at, with, "Rob-bi" = Lord, "Hi~" = his,
وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهٍِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ = "Wa La~ KHow-fun 'A-lai Him Wa La~ Hum Yah-za-nu~~n".  "Wa" = and "La~" = no, "KHow-fun" = fear, " 'A-lai" = upon, "Him" = them, "Wa" = and, "La~" = no, "Hum" = they, "Yah-za-nu~na" = they grieve.

(Whosoever turns his/her face to and surrenders himself/herself to Allah/[whoever does good deeds sincerely and does it because of Allah Who is without peer, and nothing else], and he/she does good deeds/[he/she obeys the Prophet s.a.w.. Any good deeds done should be  based on two conditions, (i) they are done in sincerity to Allah, and (ii) they must in accordance with the "Syariat"/Allah's Law as taught by the Prophet s.a.w.. If they were not, then, they were discarded, and they would not be rewarded], then for him is rewards from his Lord, then they will have no fear nor will they be grieved/[When the good deeds were done in sincerity to Allah and were in accodance with Allah's Law taught by the Prophet s.a.w., then Allah will reward him/her and at the same time makes him/her feel calm and peaceful from things that made them feel uneasy, and they will not be grieved about things they had missed in the past, nor about their death nor about the Hereafter].).
(113) (to be continued).

   (2) Solat:  (J) The Fridays:
   Before we proceed, I wish to reinterpret the word "'Aqil". It does not only mean sane alone, but it also means rational, sensible, and endowed with reason. Thank you.
  (i) Obtaining One Rokaat Of The Solat Jumaat Or Less Than One Rokaat:
  During the Prophet's, and the First Caliph, Abu Bakr and the Second Caliph, 'Umar Al-Khottob's times, the Jumaat Adzan was called only once because at those times, Muslimin were not many. But during the Third Caliph, 'Uthman ibnu 'Affan's time, the number of Muslimin was very large. So, when the time of Solat Jumaat had come, the Adzan was called. Then Caliph 'Uthman did not come out to the podium, but sat waiting for people from far to come and enter into the mosque. When all people had gathered in the mosque, Caliph 'Uthman asked the Adzan to be called once again. 
  Solat Fardhu Jumaat is not four Rokaat, but it is performed two Rokaat. Before the Solat is performed, two "Khutbah"/sermons are made by the Imam (at times the sermons are delivered by a "Khotib"/orator). The Imam/Khotib will pause and will sit down for a while in between the two sermons. (Several of my Ustaz told us that these two sermons are made in lieu of the (first) two Rokaat, thus, we must not speak during these two sermons). After the second sermon, there will be the Qomat, and the Imam will lead the Solat Fardhu Jumaat. When a person comes late and the Solat was in the second Rokaat and before sitting for Tasyahhud, he has obtained one Rokaat, he must follow what the Imam does, but when the Imam makes Salam, he must not make Salam but stands up and performs another Rokaat by himself.  Ibnu Umar  reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Whosoever obtained one Rokaat Solat Fardhu Jumaat (with the Imam), should continue and add to the Solat another Rokaat, thus, he has completed his Solat". (narrated by Nasa-i, Ibnu Majah, and Daruqutni).
  He who obtaines less than one Rokaat, according to the majority of the Ulama, he has not obtained the Solat Jumaat, and he must perform 4 Rokaat. Ibnu Umar said, "If you obtained one Rokaat Solat Jumaat, then add another Rokaat, but if you find that people are sitting down (for Tasyahhud), then you should perform four Rokaat". (narrated by Baihaqi). This opinion is adhered by Ulama Syafieiah, Malikiyah, Hanbaliah and Muhammad ibnu Hasan. But Abu Hanifah/Hanafiyah and Abu Yusuf were/are of the opinion that when a person finds that the Imam is sitting for Tasyahhud, he has obtained the Solat Jumaat, thus, he must continue to perform two Rokaat after the Imam makes Salam, and his Solat Jumaat is completed".
   (ii) Performing Solat Sunnah Before Solat Jumaat: 
   Ibnu Taimiyah said, "The Prophet s.a.w. had never performed Solat Sunnah after the Adzan Solat Jumaat, there is no Hadith about it. It is because the Adzan was called after the Prophet s.a.w. has sat on the podium, then he s.a.w. delivered two sermons. Then, Qomat and Solat Fardhu Jumaat was performed. He s.a.w. had not set a limit of Rokaat a person may perform Solat Sunnah before Adzan Jumaat, 12, or 10, or 8 or less Rokaat." 
  (iii) Solat Sunnah After Solat Fardhu Jumaat:
  It is Sunnah to perform four or two Rokaat after Solat Fardhu Jumaat. Abu Huroiroh r.a.reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Anyone of you who wish to perform Solat (Sunnah) after the Solat Jumaat may perform four Rokaat" (narrated by Muslim, Abu Daud, and Tirmidzi).
  Ibnu Umar reported, "The Prophet s.a.w. performed two Rokaat Solat Sunnah at home". (narratede by Jamaah).
 (K) When the 'Idd/Feastday Falls On Friday:
  When an Idd falls on a Friday, people who has performed the Solat Sunnah 'Idd needs not attend the Solat Jumaat. Zaid ibnu Arqom  said, "The Prophet s.a.w. performed Solat 'Idd, then he s.a.w. gave an opportunity to us that we need not attend the Solat Jumaat, he s.a.w. said, "Those who wish to perform Solat Jumaat may do so". (narrated by Al-Khomsah).
  (L) Solat 'Idd/Feastday: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
