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
(114) وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَجِدَ اُللهِ أَن يُذَكِّرَ فِيهَا اُسْمُهُو وَسَعَى فِى خَرَابِهَآ ج أُوْلَئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ ج لَهُمْ فِى اُلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ وَلَهُمْ فِى اُلْأَخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَجِدَ اُللهِ = " Wa Man Azh-la-mu Mim~mam~Ma-na-'a Ma-sa~ji-dal-Lohi",  "Wa" = And, "Man" = who, "Azh-la-ma" = wicked, "Mim~man" = who, "Ma-na-'a" = prevent, "Ma-sa~ji-da" = mosque, "Al-Lohi" = Allah,
أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اُسْمُهُو وَسَعَى فِى خَرَابِهَآ = "Ai~Yudz-ka-ro Fi~ Has-mu Hu~ Wa Sa-'a~ Fi~ KHo-ro~bi Ha~".  "An" = that, "Yudz-ka-ro" = be mentioned, "Fi~ Ha~" = in it, "is-mu" = name. "Hu~" = His, "Wa" = and, "Sa-'a~" = to strive, "Fi~" = in, "KHo-ro~bi" = ruining, "Ha~" = it.
"Wa Man Azh-la-mu Mim~mam~Ma-na-'a Ma-sa~ji-dal-Lohi Ai-Yudz-ka-ro Fi~ Has-mu Hu~ Wa Sa-'a~ Fi~ KHo-ro~bi Ha~".  = And who is more wicked than those who prevent people from mentioning and remembering Allah's Name in His mosque and strive to ruin it?
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign. 
أُوْلَئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ = "U-la~~i-ka Ma~ Ka~na La Hum Ai~Yadd-khu-lu~ Ha~~ Il-la~ KHo~~i-fi~~n".  "U-la~~i-ka" = These, "Ma~" = not, "Ka~na" = to be, "La" = for, "Hum" = them, "An" = that, "Yadd-khu-lu~" = they enter, "Ha~" = it, "Il-la~" = except, "KHo~i-fi~na" = in fear.
"U-la~~i-ka Ma~ Ka~na La Hum Ai~Yadd-khu-lu~ Ha~~ Il-la~ KHo~~i-fi~~n".  = These people ought not to enter into it/the mosque except with fear (in their hearts).
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
لَهُمْ فِى اُلدُّنيَا خِزْىٌ وَلَهُمْ فِى اُلْأَخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ = "La Hum Fid-dun-(an Izh-har Mutlaq/absolute showing clearly) ya~ KHiz-yuw~Wa La Hum Fil-A~khi-ro-ti 'A-dza~bun 'A-zhi~~m".  "La Hum" = For them, "Fi~" = in, "ad-Dun-ya~" = the world, "KHiz-yun" = disgrace, "Wa" = and, "La Hum" = for them, "Fi~" = in, "al-A~khi-ro-ti" = the Hereafter, " 'A-dza~bun" = torment, " 'A-zhi~mun" = great, oppressive.
"La Hum Fid-Dun-ya KHiz-yuw~Wa La Hum Fil-A~khi-ro-ti 'A-dza~bun 'A-zhi~~m".  = For them in this world, is nothing but disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter will be the most oppressive torment.
(The people who prevented others from mentioning and remembering Allah's Name in His mosque, were the pagan Arabs who prevented the Prophet s.a.w. and his Companions from entering Mecca to perform the Hajj and the 'Umroh/minor Hajj, which caused the historical event of the Hudaibiyah that the Prophet s.a.w. had to slaughter his sacrifice in Dzi Thuwa and led to a reconciliation and the Truce of Al-Hudaibiyah was signed between the Prophet s.a.w. and the Meccan. 
 The verse, "and they strive to ruin it/the mosque,"  means [they hinder people from making the mosque prosperous with Dzikir/mentioning and remembering Allah, and to come to it to perform Hajj and 'Umroh]. "These people ought not to enter into it/the mosque except with fear (in their hearts)" means [ the people who prevented Believers from entering the mosque will not have the courage to enter the House of Allah/the mosque, because Allah had bestowed the Power of Faith to the Believers that when the Power is revealed from the Believers, it will cause them/the Pagan Arabs or whoever, to be fearsome. They will not dare to enter into the mosque]. Becuase of their wickness, they will be disgraced in this world and will be punished with the most oppressive torment in the Hereafter).
(115) (to be continued).

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
   (2) Solat:  (L) Solat Sunnah 'Idd/Feastday:
   This Solat Sunnah 'Idul-Fitri or 'Idul-Adhha is to be perform by menfolk, womenfolk, and children, (except those are not permitted by the Syariat Law such as, women with menses, childbirth, and so forth), be they travellers, or residents of the place. The Solat may be performed in a Jamaah/group, or by oneself, at home, or in a mosque or in an open square or a field.
  It is a two Rokaat Solat:
  The Ritual of Solat 'Idd:
  After the Imam/the Caller uttered: Shola~tul-Ja~miah!
  (i) Stand, and Niat: "U-shol-li~ Sunnatal-'I~dd Maa-mu~man". (If we are the Imam, say "I-ma~man". If alone, it is just, "U-shol-li~ Sun~natal-'Idd").
  (ii) When the Imam utters, "Al-Lohu Akbarr!", raise both hands to the ears and utter the Takbir (just like performing daily Solat).
  (iii) Recite softly the "Doa Iftitah" (same as in any other Solat).
  (iv) When the Imam utters, "AlLohu Akbarr!", raise both hands to the ears and utter the Takbir, "Al-Lohu Akbarr". Then fold both arms to the belly, recite, "Sub-ha~nal-Loh,  Wal-Ham-du-lil-Lah, Wa La~ I-la~ha Il-lal-Loh, Wal-Lohu Ak-barr.". 
  (v) Then the Imam will utter six more Takbir, and the Maa-mum will follow suit and recite the Dzikir as mentioned above.
   (vi) After the seventh Takbir, the Imam will recite Surah Al-Fatihah, then usually surah Al-Aala~ (or any other surah he likes. If we solat alone, we may recite surah Qul Ya~ Ai-yuhal-Ka`firu~n).
  (vii) Then the Rukuu, Iitidal, Sujud twice.
  (viii) Then Takbir while standing up for the second Rokaat. Then Takbir, "AlLohu Akbarr!" again while raising both hands.
  (ix) Then recite the above mentioned Dzikir.
  (x) Then Takbir another four times with reciting the Dzikir in between the Takbir.
  (xi) After the fourth Takbir, recite surah Al-Fatihah and then, usually surah Al-Gho~syiah (or any other surah, or the Qul Huwal-Lohu Ahadd).  
   (xii) Then the rest is as usual, until making Salam.
   (xiii) If Solat is in  a group, the Imam/orator will deliver two sermons (the same as the Solat Jumaat) after the Solat is performed.
   (xiv) To Qodhoo/to make for missing the Solat 'Idd: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
