My Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh verse 235. Please refer to the Text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
عَلِمَ اللهُ أَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ وَلَكِن لَّا تُوَاعِدُوهُنَّ سِرًّا إِلَّا أَن تَقُولُواْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا  ج
=  " 'A-li-mal-Lohu An~na Kum Sa Tadz-ku-ru~na Hun~na Wa La~kil-La~ Tu-wa~'i-du~ Hun~na Sir-ron Il-la~~ Ant~Ta-qu~-lu~ Qou-lam~Ma'a-ru~fa~".
" 'A-li-ma" = to know,  "Al-Lohu" = The (One and Only) God (who have no parents nor child nor anyone or any thing equal to Him),  "An~na" = that,  "Kum" = you (pl.),  "Sa" = will (future tense),  "Tadz-ku-ru~na" = to mention to, "Hun~na" = them (fem. pl.),  "Wa-la~kin" = but, however, "La~" = do not,  "Tu-wa~'i-du~" = "Hun~na" = them (fem. pl.), "Sir-ron" = secretly,  "Il-la~~" = except, "An" = that, "Ta-qu~lu~" = you (pl.) say, "Qou-lan" = saying, word, "Ma'a-ru~fan" = amicable, pleasent.
= " Allah Know that you (pl.) will mention to them (fem. pl,), but do not make a promise to them secretly (about the marriage) except you say (to them with) amicable / nice words".  =  ( Allah know what is in a man's heart towards a woman he wishes to propose to a marriage, and there is no sin in it, but what is prohibited is making a secret promise to them, such as by saying, "I truly love you. Promise me that you will not marry another man but me", or "Do not leave me because I am going to marry you". However, Allah do not prohibit proposal made with nice and plesent words, such as, "Really I am very interested in and am attracted to lovely you", or "Please do not marry me until you really know me".).
(to be continued).
