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
(174) إِنَّ اُلَّذِين يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلَ اُللهُ مِنَ اُلْكِتَبِ وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِهِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا لا أُوْلَئِكَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِى بُطُونِهِمْ إِلَّا اُلنَّارَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اُللهُ يَوْمَ اُلْقِيَمَةِ وَ لَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
إِنَّ اُلَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلَ اُللهُ مِنَ اُلْكِتَبِ  = "In~nal-La-dzi~na Yak-tu-mu~na Ma~~ Anz~za-lal-Lohu Mi-nal-Ki-ta~bi",  "In~na" = Truly, "al-La-dzi~na" = who (m. pl.), "Yak-tu-mu~na" = hide, conceal, "Ma~" = what, "Anz~za-la" = reveal, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "Mi-na" = from, of, "al-Ki-ta~bi" = the Scripture,
 وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِهِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا = "Wa Yasy-ta-ru~na Bi Hi~ THa-ma-nanq~Qo-li~lan",  "Wa" = and, "Yasy-ta-ru~na" = they buy, sell, "Bi" = with, "Hi~" = it, "THa-ma-nan" = price, "Qo-li~lan" = a few, a little,
لا = a Waqof Mamnuu = pause is prohibited sign.
أُوْلَئِكَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِى بُطُونِهِمْ إِلَّا اُلنَّارَ = "U-la~~i-ka Ma~ Yaa-ku-lu~na Fi~ Bu-tu~ni Him Il-lan~Na~ro",  "U-la~~i-ka" = those, "Ma~" = do not, "Yaa-ku-lu~na" = they eat, swallow, "Fi" = into, "Bu-tu~ni" = stomachs, bellies, "Il-la~" = except, "an~Na~ro" = the fire, (If out of breath, we may pause here, and the word "Na-ro" is pronounced with 4 harakah = "Na~~rr").
وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اُللهُ يَوْمَ اُلْقِيَمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ = "Wa La~ Yu-kal-li-mu Hu-mul-Lohu Yaw-mal-Qi-ya~ma-ti Wa La~ Yu-zak-ki~ Him",  "Wa" = and, "La~" = do not, "Yu-kal-li-mu" = He speaks, "Hum" = them, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "Yaw-ma" = Day, "al-Qi-ya~ma-ti" = the Resurrection, "Wa" = and, "La~" = do not, "Yu-zak-ki~" = He purifies, "Him" = them,
وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ = "Wa La Hum 'A-dza~bun A-li~~m".  "Wa" = and, "La" = for, "Hum" = them, " 'A-dza~bun" = punishment, torment, "A-li~mun" = painful.
"In~nal-La-dzi~na Yak-tu-mu~na Ma~~ Anz~za-lal-Lohu Mi-nal-Ki-ta~bi wa Yasy-ta-ru~na Bi Hi~ THa-ma-nanq~Qo-li~lan U-la~~i-ka Ma~ Yaa-ku-lu~na Fi~ Bu-tu~ni Him Il-lan~Na~ro/(Na~~rr, if pause), Wa La~ Yu-kal-li-mu Hu-mul-Lohu Yaw-mal-Qi-ya~ma-ti Wa La~ Yu-zak-ki~ Him Wa La Hum 'A-dza~bun A-li~~m".  = Truly, those who conceal what/verses revealed by Allah, that is the Scripture, and sell It for a little price/gain, they swallow nothing but fire into their bellies, and Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them, and for them is a painful torment.
(Allah s.w.t. is telling  us how He s.w.t. will deal with  the Jews who concealed the information about the appearance and the nature of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. that are described in their Scriptures as a proof of his s.a.w. prophetic and as a Messenger of Allah s.w.t.. They concealed it because they did not want to lose their position as a Jewish Priests and as Jewish Scholars, and they would not want to lose their income paid from and the present given by the Jewish and the Pagan Arab communities. Such action is detested by Allah s.w.t. and said that the Jewish Priests and Scholars were trading the verses in the Scripture for a little gain on earth, and what they earned and used the money to buy food and drink and other preferred things was in fact they were eating and swallowing Hell Fire which they will get in the Day of Resurrection. And on that Day, Allah s.w.t. will not talk to them nor will He s.w.t. purify them by praising, but He s.w.t. will punish them with painful torment.).
