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
(113) وَقَالَتِ اُلْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ اُلنَّصَرَى عَلَى شَىْءٍ وَقَالَتِ اُلنَّصَرَى لَيْسَتِ اُلْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ اُلْكِتَبَ قلى كَذَلِكَ قَالَ اُلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ ج فَاُللهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ اُلْقِيَمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
وَقَالَتِ اُلْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ اُلنَّصَرَى = "Wa Qo~la-til-Ya-hu~du Lai-sa-tin~Na-sho~ro~",  "Wa" = And, "Qo~la-ti" = say, "al-Ya-hu~du" = the Jews, "Lai-sa-ti" = not, "An~Na-sho~ro~" = the Christians,
عَلَى شَىْءٍ وَقَالَتِ اُلنَّصَرَى = " 'A-la~ SYai-iw~Wa Qo~la-tin~Na-sho~ro~",  " 'A-la~" = on, to, "SYai-in" = something, "Wa" = and. "Qo~la-ti" = say, "an~Na-sho~ro~" = the Christians,
لَيْسَتِ اُلْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ اُلْكِتَبَ = "Lai-sa-til-Ya-hu~du 'A-la~ SYai-iw~Wa Hum Yat-lu~nal-Ki-ta~~bb".  "Lai-sa-ti" = not, "al-Ya-hu~du" = the Jews, " 'A-la~" = on, to, "SYai-in" = something, "Wa" = and, "Hum" = they, "Yat-lu~na" = readers, "al-Ki-ta~ba" = the Scripture.
"Wa Qo~la-til-Ya-hu~du Lai-sa-tin~Na-sho~ro~ 'A-la~ SYai-iw~Wa Qo~la-tin~Na-sho~ro~ Lai-sa-til-Ya-hu~du 'A-la~ SYai-iw~Wa Hum Yat-lu~nal-Ki-ta~~bb".  =  And the Jews say, "The Christians are not adherent to any guidance". And the Christians say, "The Jews are not adherent to any guidance". Yet they both are readers of the Scripture.
قلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
كَذَلِكَ قَالَ اُلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ = "Ka-dza~li-ka Qo~lal-La-dzi~na La~ Yaa-la-mu~na Mith-la Qow-li Him".  "Ka-dza~li-ka" = Like wise, "Qo~la" = say, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "La~" = not, "Yaa-la-mu~na" = they know, "Mith-la" = like, "Qow-li" = say, "Him" = they.
"Ka-dza~li-ka Qo~lal-La-dzi~na La~ Yaa-la-mu~na Mith-la Qow-li Him".  = Like wise, those people who do not know, do say the same thing as both of them are saying.
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
فَاُللهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ اُلْقِيَمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ = "Fal-Lohu Yah-ku-mu Bai-na Hum Yaw-mal-Qi-ya~ma-ti Fi~ Ma~ Ka~nu~ Fi~ Hi Yakh-ta-li-fu~~n".  "Fa" = Then, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "Yah-ku-mu" = He judges, "Bai-na" = between, "Hum" = them, "Yaw-ma" = day, "al-Qi-ya~ma-ti" = the Resurrection, "Fi~ Ma~" = in what, "Ka~nu~" = is, "Fi~ Hi" = in it, "Yakh-ta-li-fu~na". =  they differ, dispute.
"Fal-Lohu Yah-ku-mu Bai-na Hum Yaw-mal-Qi-ya~ma-ti Fi~ Ma~ Ka~nu~ Fi~Hi Yakh-ta-li-fu~~n".  = Then Allah will judge them on the Day of Resurrection of what they differ/Allah will judge their disputes on the Day of Resurrection.
(This happened when one day some Chritians from Najran went to the Prophet s.a.w., and at that time, along came some Jewish Scholars to the Prophet s.a.w. They met and argued before the Prophet s.a.w. One of the Jewish Scholars, Rofii bin Harmalah said to the Christians, "You are not adherent to any guidance and you have denied Jesus and the Gospel". One of the Christians answered, "It is you who are not adherent to the guidance. You have denied Moses and the Torah". Thus, Allah revealed this verse, saying that not only the Jewish and the Christians had their disputes, the pagan Arabs, and at this present day, where there are people including some Muslimin who only believe in the opinions of the computer and they based their reasoning on their own  free thought, dispute about the Prophet s.a.w., and He, Allah s.w.t. will judge them on the Day of Resurrection of what they disputed).

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
   (2) Solat:  (L) Solat 'Idd/Feastday:
   Solat 'Idd/Feastday was decreed in the year of the first Hegira. It is a Sunnah Muakkad/firmly demanded. The Prophet s.a.w. had always did it and had asked menfolk and also womenfolk to perform it. Those women who are not able to perform Solat, should wait until the Solat was performed, then they would come forward and  listen to the sermons.
  It is Sunnah to Bathe, To Use Perfume (for menfolk) and To Wear The Best Clothes. Hasan Ash-Shibti reported, "The Prophet s.a.w. ordered that we wear the best clothes, to use the best perfume, and to "Qurban"/sacrifice the best animal". (narrated by Hakim).
   To Have Breakfast Before Going To Perform The Solat:
  Anas r.a. reported, "On 'Idul-Fitri, the Prophet s.a.w. had breakfast on some odd numbers dates before going to the place of Solat". (narrated by Ahmad and Bukhori).
  Buroidah reported, "Before going to Solat 'Idul-Fitri, the Prophet s.a.w. had his breakfast. While on 'Idul-Adh-ha, he s.a.w. did not have breakfast till he returned from the Solat". (narrated by Tirmidzi, Ibnu Majah and Ahmad).
  It Is Sunnah For Womenfolk And Children To Attend To The Solat:
  Ummu Athiyyah reported, "We were ordered to go along with the girls, the women with menses on the 'Idd that they can see the goodness of the 'Idd and gain doa/prayers from the Muslimin. But the women with menses do not enter in the Solat place." (Muttafaq 'Alaih).
  To Pass Different Ways:
  Abu Huroirah  r.a. reported, "When the Prophet s.a.w. attended the Solat 'Idd, when going home, he s.a.w. would walk a different way from the way he s.a.w. had passed when going to the place of Solat". (narrated by Ahmad, Muslim, and Tirmidzi).
   The Time For Solat 'Idd:
  Jundub r.a. reported, "The Proophet s.a.w. performed Solat 'Idul-Fitri with all of us when the sun was as high as two spears length (about one hour after sunrise), and performed Solat 'Idul-Adhha, when the sun was a spear length high (about half an hour after sunrise)." (narrated by Ahmad ibnu Hasan Al-Bannaa).
   Adzan and Qomat For Solat 'Idd:
  Ibnu Qoyyim said, "When the Prophet s.a.w. went to the place of Solat, he s.a.w. started the Solat without Adzan and Qomat, but he s.a.w. uttered, "Ash-Sho-la~tul-Ja~mi-ah!". 
   The Ritual Of Solat 'Idd: (to be continued).
