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
  O  = An Eight angles star denotes the beginning of a new section.
(203) وَاُذْكُرُواْ اُللهَ فِى~ أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَتٍ ج فَمَن تَعَجَّلَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَن تَأَخَّرَ فَلأَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ج لِمَنِ اُتَّقَى قلى وَاُتَّقُواْ اُللهَ وَاُعْلَمُواْ~ أَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
وَاُذْكُرُواْ اُللهَ فِى~ أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَتٍ = "Wadz-ku-rul-Loha Fi~~ Ai-ya~mim~Maa-du~da~~t".  "Wa" = And, "udz-ku-ru~" = you (pl.) remember, "Al-Loha" = Allah, "Fi~" = at, during, "Ai-ya~min" = days, "Maa-du~da~tin" = enumerated.
"Wadz-ku-rul-Loha Fi~~ Ai-ya~mim~Maa-du~da~~t".  = And remember/dzikir (by mentioning) Allah during several enumerated days.
(Allah s.w.t. told those who perform the Hajj to remember/dzikir by mentioning "Allah" means they should recite the "Takbir", that is, "Allohu Akbarr! Allohu Akbarr" during several enumerated days, that is, on the first ten days in the month of Dzul-Hijjah (1st - 10th of Dzul-Hijjah).
Ali, the father of Musa said that he had heard 'Uqbah ibnu Amir said that he heard the Prophet s.a.w. said, "The Arafah/Wukuf Day,  the Sacrifice Day, and the Tasyriq Days are our/Muslimin  Feastdays. These days are the days for eating and drinking".
And when sacrificing the animals, we, Muslimin should mention Allah: "Allohu Akbarr".).
ج = a waqof Jaiz sign.
(to be continued).
                                       oooo000oooo
Let now continue to look into the Rites for Hajj :
The Way The Prophet s.a.w. Performed The Hajj.
From a very long Hadith reported by Hatim ibnu Ismail Madani and narrated by Muslim, we summarize the main and the important points of the rites for Hajj .
There several Rules and Regulations governing the rites for Hajj, they are:
(i) "Arkanu Al-Hajj/the Basis Elements of rites for Hajj. These rites must be performed completely, failing any one or more of them will cause the Hajj be invalid, and the error/s cannot be redeem by "Dam"/blood of sacrifice. And the Hajj has to be reperformed again in the coming year. They are:
(a) Ihrom/in a state of ritual consecration/becoming holy, begins with resolving in one's heart the Niat/intention to perform the Ihrom  for the Hajj. (as narrated by Bukhori).
(b) Be present at the Arafah/t plain from the Zhuhur time on 9th of Dzul-Hijjah until dawn the next morning, 10th of Dzul-Hijjah. (as narrated by the Five).
(c) Towaf/to circumbulate arround the Caaba 7 times (as commanded by Allah s.w.t. in surah 22 Al-Hajj verse 29).
(d) Sa-'i/to move quickly from the Ash-Shofa mountain to the Al-Marwah mountain and then back to Ash-Shofa 7 times repeatedly. 
(e) Tahallul/the dissolution by shaving or to cut one's hair, and this ends the Ihrom/become holy. The rites for the Hajj end.
(f) Tartib/to perform the rites one by one, in proper succession.
(We shall discuss them in details later).
(ii) Wajibat Hajj/rites that are obligatory to be performed: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
