Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
(175) أُوْلَئِكَ اُلَّذِينَ اُشْتَرَوُاُلضَّلَلَةَ بِاُلْهُدَى وَاُلْعَذَابَ بِاُلْمَغْفِرَةِج فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى اُلنَّارِ
أُوْلَئِكَ اُلَّذِينَ اُشْتَرَوُ اُلضَّلَلَةَ بِاُلْهُدَى = "U-la~~i-kal-La-dzi~nasy-ta-ro-wudh-DHo-la~la-ta Bil-Hu-da~(the ى with a tiny Alif sign is not pronounced, it is only the bearer on which the tiny Alif stands. This applies also to the و with a Sukun sign), "U-la~~i-ka" = Those, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "isy-ta-ro-wu" = buy, "adh-DHo-la~la-ta" = the err, "Bi" = at the price of, "al-Hu-da~" = the guidance,
وَاُلْعَذَابَ بِاُلْمَغْفِرَةِ = "Wal-'A-dza~ba Bil-Magh-fi-roh".  "Wa" = and, "al-'A-dza~ba" = the punishment, torment, "Bi" = at the price of, "al-Magh-fi-ro-ti" = the forgiving.
"U-la~~i-kal-La-dzi~nasy-ta-ro-wudh-DHo-la~la-ta Bil-Hu-da~ Wal-'A-dza~ba Bil-Magh-fi-roh".  = Those are (the people) who buy error at the price of guidance and punishment at the price of forgiveness.
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى اُلنَّارِ = "Fa Ma~ Ash-ba-ro Hum 'A-lan~Na~~rr".  "Fa" = Then, "Ma~" = what, how, "Ash-ba-ro" = be patient, courageous, "Hum" = they, " 'A-la~" = upon, to, "an~Na~ri" = the Hell Fire.
"Fa Ma~ Ash-ba-ro Hum 'A-lan~Na~~rr".  = Then how courageous they are to (face and oppose) the Hell Fire.
(Then, Allah s.w.t. described those who concealed the verses of the Scripture as replacing the guidance, that is to propagate the information about the nature of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and that he s.a.w. is sent to mankind as a Prophet and as a Messenger of Allah s.w.t. to convey good tidings to those who believe and do good deeds with a reward of the Paradise and to give warning of punishment and torment to those who disbelieve and do evil deeds, as is mentioned in their Scripture, to error by lying and denying and concealing the true nature of the Prophet s.a.w.. Thus, they were unaware of the fact that they have changed forgiveness to punishment that they will be tormented.
Allah s.w.t. had shown His s.w.t. feeling of astonishment that mankind has the courage to face and oppose the Fiery Hell! [Do we not fear of being burnt in a fire with the most extreme heat?]
(176) (to be continued).
