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
(116) وَقَالُواْ اُتَّخَذَ اُللهُ وَلَدًا قلى سُبْحَنَهُو صلى بَل لَّهُو مَا فِى اُلسَّمَوَتِ وَاُلْأَرْضِ صلى كُلٌّ لهو قَنِتُونَ
وَقَالُواْ اُتَّخَذَ اُللهُ وَلَدًا = "Wa Qo~lut-Ta-kho-dzal-Lohu Wa-la-da~". "Wa" = And, "Qo~lu~" = they say, "it-Ta-kho-dza" = take up, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "Wa-la-dan" = to beget.
"Wa Qo~lut-Ta-kho-dzal-Lohu Wa-la-da~". =  And they/the infidels say, "Allah takes up/has/begets a son/daughters!".
قلى  = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
سُبْحَنَهُو = "Subb-ha~nah".  "Subb-ha~na" = Glory be to, "Hu~" = Him./God forbid!
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
بَل لَّهُو مَا فِى اُلسَّمَوَتِ وَاُلْأَرْضِ  = "Bal-La Hu~ Ma~ Fis-Sa-ma~wa~ti Wal-Arrdh".  "Bal" = The truth is, "La" = to, "Hu~" = Him, "Ma~" = what, "Fi~" = in, "As-Sa-ma~wa~ti" = the heavens, "Wa" = and, "al-Arr-dhi" = the earth.
"Bal=La Hu~ Ma~ Fis-Sa-ma~wa~ti Wal-Arrdh".  The truth is, to Him/Allah belong what are in the heavens and in the earth.
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
كُلٌّ لَّهُو قَنِتُونَ = "Kul-lul-La Hu~ Qo~ni-tu~~n".  "Kul-lun" = All, "La" = to, "Hu~" = Him, "Qo~ni-tu~na" = obedient, submissive.
"Kul-lul-La Hu~ Qo~ni-tu~~n".  = All things are obedient to Him.
(When the infidels, including the Christians, and most of the Jews and the Pagan Arabs, the Pagan Arabs had considered the Angels as the daughters of Allah, Allah regards their claims that He/Allah s.w.t. begets a son, daughters, and having a mother as lies. Allah exclaims, "Subbha~nah"/Glory be to Him/God forbid! that Allah should beget a son or daughters or having a mother, [would He be Most Exalt, Most High, Most Holy and so forth if He were being borne in His mother's womb surrounded by menstrual blood for months and then would be born through the passage where human waste is excreted?] But Allah is Most Exalt, Most High and Most Holy from all that what they say. For Allah has the sovereignty over the heavens and over the earth and over their contents. And all things except those infidels who say He begets, are obedient to Him.).

Let us continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules"
   (2) Solat:  (L) 'Idd/Feastday:
  (xv) Entertainment, Singing, Eating and Drinking:
    Decent entertainment, music and song are the Islamic ceremony on 'Idd/Feastday. They make the body healthy and the heart contented. 
  Anas reported, "The Prophet s.a.w. came to Medina. At that time, the Medina people had two Feastdays when they made merry, made plays, shows, and be happy. The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Allah has replaced your two Feastdays with two better Feastdays, that is the 'Idul-Fitri and the 'Idul-Adhha". (narrated by Nasa-i, and Ibnu Hibban).
  Aisyah r.a. reported, "On one 'Idd, Abu Bakar (her father) came to our place. At that time, we had two girls singing poems about the Battle of Bu'ath (between the Aus and the Khazraj) where many of the prominent people of Aus and Khazraj were killed. Abu Bakar said, "O bondservants of Allah , are these not the songs of the Satan?" and he repeated it three times. The Prophet s.a.w. then said, "Abu Bakar, every tribe has its Feastday and today is our Feastday". (narrated by Ahmad, Bukhori and Muslim).
   In another version as narrated by Bukhori, Aisyah said, "The Prophet s.a.w. entered into my place. At that time there were two girls were singing the poems of the Battle of Bu'ath. He s.a.w. lied on the bed with his face turned (away). Then Abu Bakar came and said to me, "Song of Satan in the Prophet's s.a.w house?". The Prophet s.a.w. turned to him and said, "Let them be!". Then when the Prophet s.a.w. was not watching, I signaled the girls and they left. That day was, the 'Idd/Feastday. Many black people played swords and shields. I asked the Prophet s.a.w. and he s.a.w. said, "Do you want to watch?". I said, "Yes". Then he s.a.w. asked me to stand on his back till our cheeks touched. He s.a.w. said, "Carry on O Children of Arfadah/Ethiopian!". When I felt bored, he s.a.w. asked, "Had enough?". I replied, "Yes". He s.a.w. said (to the players), "Then, you may leave". He s.a.w. then said to me, "This is to show the Jewish people in Medina that there is moderation in our religion. Really, I am sent to bring and teach a true and kind and tolerance religion". 
   Nubaisyah reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "The Days of Tasyriq/the three days after 'Idul-Adhha are for eating and drinking and Dzikir to Allah". (narrated by Ahmad and Musklim).
  (xvi) It is Sunnah to Greet One Another:
   Jubair ibnu Nafir reported, "When the Companions r.a. of the Prophet s.a.w. met one another, they would say, "Ta-qob-ba-la-Lohu Min~na~ Wa Min-kum" = (May Allah accept our 'Amal 'Ibadah/adoration practices and also yours).
  (xvii) To Recite Takbir On 'Idd:
   It is Sunnah to recite Takbir on Feastday.
  Allah says in surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, verse 185, "...(He/Allah desires you) to complete the period (of the fast), and that you "Tukab-birulLoha"/recite the Takbir glorifying Allah for having guided you, so that you may give thanks".
  The Ulama were/are of the opinion that the Takbir, "AlLohu Akbar, repeat 3 times", as reported by Salman, and from Umar and Ibnu Mas'ud: AlLohu Akbar La~ Illa~ha Il-Lal-Lohu WalLohu Akbarr Wa Lil-La~hil-Hamdd.", on the 'Idul-Fitri is as from the new moon of the Syawwal/on the night of the 'Idd is seen until the time the Imam enters the place of Solat (Solat 'Idul-Fitri). While the 'Idul-Adhha, it is recited from the dawn of Arafah Day until the evening of 13th of Dzulhijjah).
   On the 'Idd morning, there is no Solat Tahiyyatul Masjid, because as mentioned in the Hadith reported by Ibnu Abbas, "Then Prophet s.a.w. on the 'Idd came to the place of Solat and performed two Rokaat Solat 'Idd. He s.a.w. did not perform any Solat before nor after the Solat 'Idd". (narrated by the Jamaah).
  (M) Solat Istisqo/for rain: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
