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
(214) أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ اُلْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ اُلَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم صلى مُّسَّتْهُمُ اُلْبَأْسَآءُ وَاُلضَّرَّآءُ وَزُلْزِلُواْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ اُلرَّسُولُ وَاُلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُو مَتَى نَصْرُ اُللهِ قلى أَلَآ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اُللهِ قَرِيبٌ
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ اُلْجَنَّةَ = "Am Ha-sibb Tum Ant~Tadd-khu-lul-Jan~na-ta" = "Am" = Or, Also, "Ha-sibb" =  think, suppose, "Tum" = you (pl.), "An" = that, "Tadd-khu-lu~" = you (pl.) enter, "al-Jan~na-ta" = the Paradise,
وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مِّثْلُ اُلَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ = "Wa Lam~ma~ Yaa-ti Kum~Mith-lul-La-dzi~na KHo-law Minq~Qobb-li Kum" =  "Wa" = and, while, "Lam~ma~" = not yet, "Yaa-ti" = it comes to, "Kum" = you (pl.), "Mith-lu" = like, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "KHo-law" = past, gone, "Min" = of, "Qobb-li" = before, "Kum" = you (pl.).

صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
مَّسَّتْهُمُ اُلْبَأْسَآءُ وَاُلضَّرَّآءُ وَزُلْزِلُواْ = "Mas-sat Hu-mul-Baa-sa~~u Wadh-DHor-ro~~u Wa Zul-zi-lu~", = "Mas-sat" = To befall on, "Hu-mu" = them, "al-Baa-sa~~u" = the misery, "Wa" = and, "adh-DHor-ro~~u" = the adversity, "Wa" = and, "Zul-zu-lu~" = shaken up,
  حَتَّى يَقُولَ اُلرَّسُولُ وَاُلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُو = "Hat-ta~ Ya-qu~lar-Ro-su~lu Wal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~", = "Hat-ta~" = until, "Ya-qu~la" = they say to, "ar-Ro-su~lu" = the Messenger, "Wa" = and, "al-La-dzi~na" = those who are, "A~ma-nu~" = Believers, "Ma-'a" = with, "Hu~" = him,

"Mas-sat Hu-mul-Baa-sa~~u Wadh-DHor-ro~~u Wa Zul-zi-lu~ Hat-ta~ Ya-qu~lar-Ro-su~lu Wal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~ Ma-'a Hu~ Ma-ta~ Nash-rul-Lo~h". =  They/The people before you were made to endure the miseries, (such as: in need, being poor), and the adversities, (such as sicknesses), and were shaken up (with various tests, such as: the Muslimin before us were cut up into Two by a saw from the middle of their heads to their feet, while some were thrown into  boiling hot water, and some were fed to the lions and so forth, but they had never gave up their Faith in Allah/Yahweh), until they asked the Messenger and the Believers who were near them, "When will the help of Allah come?".
قلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
أَلَآ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اُللهِ قَرِيبٌ = "A-la~~ In~na Nash-rol-Lohi Qo-ri~~bb". = "A-la~" = Remember, "In~na" = that, "Nash-ro" = help from, "Al-Lohi" = Allah, "Qo-ri~bb" = near.
"A-la~~ In~na Nash-rol-Lohi Qo-ri~~bb". = Remember! That Allah's help is near".
(when the Muslimin were in pain and misery, when they were in the Battle of the Ahzab/Clans or the Battle of the Trench, that is  when the Muslimin in Medina were attacked and were fighting the battle againt the Clans, that is the pack of the Pagan Arabs of Mecca who were united with the Jews and the Hypocrite Arabs of Medina. The attack was so fierce, that they/the Muslimin had to dig a trench arround Medina city to check the onslaught of their enemies. Many Muslimin were frightened and were terrified. They asked the Prophet s.a.w. and the Believers who were with them, "When will the help from Allah come?" Thus, Allah s.a.w. sent this verse down to the Prophet s.a.w. to pacify those who were terrified and frightened. Allah s.w.t. said, "Remember/Know that Allah's help is near".  Not long after that, Allah s.w.t. sent down distrust sowed into the hearts of the Pagan Arabs of Mecca and into the hearts of the Jews and the Hypocite Arabs that there was a conflict among them about the strategy of the attack, and at the same time Allah s.w.t. sent down strong wind and thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightenings that the pack was completely destroyed and retreated "with their tails between their legs"!.  Some Ulama said that this verse was revealed during the Muslimin Emigrate/Hegira from Mecca to Medina, and some said it was during the Battle of Uhud.
This verse implies us, Muslimin and all too: We shall and are being tested, before we can enter the Paradise. So, have strong Faith in Allah s.w.t. and be patient.).
