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
(115) وَلِلهِ اُلْمَشْرِقُ وَاُلْمَغْرِبُ ج فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّواْ فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اُللهِ ج إِنَّ اُللهَ وَسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
وَلِلهِ اُلْمَشْرِقُ وَاُلْمَغْرِبُ = "Wa Lil-Lahil-Masy-ri-qu Wal-Magh-ribb".  "Wa" = And, "Li" = to, "Al-Lahi" = Allah, "al-Masy-ri-qu" = the East, "Wa" = and, "al-Magh-ri-bu" = the West.
"Wa Lil-Lahil-Masy-ri-qu Wal-Magh-ribb".  = And to Allah belong the East and the West.
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّواْ فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اُللهِ  = "Fa Ai-na Ma~ Tu-wal-lu~ THum~ma Wajj-hul-Loh".  "Fa" = Then, "Ai-na Ma" = whichever, "Tu-wal-lu~" = all of you turn/face, "Fa" = then, "THam~ma" = there is, "Wajj-hu" = face, way to, "Al-Lohi" = Allah.
"Fa Ai-na Ma~ Tu-wal-lu~ Fa THam~ma Wajj-hul-Loh".  = Thus whichever way all of you may face, then there is the Way to Allah.
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
إِنَّ اُللهَ وَسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ = "In~nal-Loha Wa~si-'un 'A-li~~m".  "In~na" = Truly, "Al-Loha" = Allah, "Wa~si-'un" = vast in His grant. " 'A-li~mun" = All Knowing.
"In~nal-Loha Wa~si-'un 'A-li~~m" =  Truly, Allah is Vast in His grant, All Knowing.
(After the Prophet s.a.w. and his Companions r.a. were driven away from their homeland, Mecca, and were kept apart from the mosque and their places of Solat, (formerly, the Prophet s.a.w. and his Companions r.a. were facing Jerusalem, while the Caaba was before them,  when performing Solat in Mecca, then when they were in Medina, they faced directly towards Jerusalem for about 16 or 17 months), then, Allah commanded him s.a.w. to face Caaba when performing Solat. Allah says, "To Allah belong the East and the West. Thus whichever way you may face, then there is the Way to Allah". Thence, the Prophet s.a.w. changed direction and faced Caaba in his Solat and were followed by his Companions.
"Truly, Allah is Vast in His grant to all of His creatures, He is Omniscience.").
(116) (to be continued).

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
   (2) Solat:  (L) Solat 'Idd/Feastday:
   (xiii) Ritual of Solat 'Idd: 
        Amr ibnu Syuaib reporte from his father and from his grandfather, "When the Prophet s.a.w. performed Solat 'Idd, he s.a.w. made twelve Takbir, seven times in the first Rokaat (excluding the Takbirotul-Ihrom), and five times in the second Rokaat. He s.a.w. did not perform any Solat Sunnah before or after the Solat 'Idd". (narrated by Ahmad and Ibnu Majah) (Ahmad said, "I adhere to this opinion").
  The decree of the 12 Takbir is Sunnah, if they were not done because of forgetfulness or on purpose would not spoil the Solat. Ibnu Qoyyim said, "To my knowledge, there was/is no different of opinion on this".
  Syaukani clarified that if the Takbir were not done because of forgetfulnes, no Sujud Sahwi is needed.
  The Ulama of Hanafiah were of the opinion that the Takbir in the first Rokaat is three times after the Takbirotul-Ihrom and before reciting surah Al-Fatihah. And in the second Rokaat is also three times but after the Al-Fatihah.
  Ahmad and Asy-Syafiei were of the opinion that it is Sunnah to separate the Takbir with reciting Dzikir, such as, "SubhanalLoh Wal-HamdulilLah Wa La Ilaha IllalLoh Wal-Lohu Akbar". While Abu Hanifah and Malik were of the opinion that the Takbir should be continuous without being separated by any Dzikir.
  (xiv) To Qodhoo/to make up for the missed Solat 'Idd:
  Abu Umair ibnu Anas reported," My uncles of the Anshor who were the Companions of the Prophet s.a.w. told me, " At one time, the new moon of the month of Syawal was unseen by us until the next morning, they performed the fast on that day. In the evening, a caravan came and had an audience of the Prophet s.a.w. They told the Prophet s.a.w. that they had seen the new moon on the day before. The Prophet s.a.w. then told the Muslimin to break the fast and to perform Solat 'Idd in the next morning.". (narrated by Ahmad, Nasa-i and Ibnu Majah".
  (xv) Entertainment, Singing, Eating and Drinking: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
