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
(183) يَأَيُّهَا اُلَّذِين ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ اُلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى اُلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
يَأَيُّهَا اُلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ = "Ya~ai-yu-hal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~", "Ya~ai-yu-ha" = O, "al-La-dzi~na" = those who, "A~ma-nu~" = believe,
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ اُلصِّيَامُ = "Ku-ti-ba 'A-lai Ku-mush-SHi-ya~mu",  "Ku-ti-ba" = to be fated, decreed, " 'A-lai" = upon, "Ku-mu" = you (pl.), "ash-SHi-ya~mu" = to fast,
كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى اُلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ = "Ka-ma~ Ku-ti-ba 'A-lal-La-dzi~na Minq~Qobb-li Kum",  "Ka-ma~" = just like, "Ku-ti-ba" = to be decreed, " 'A-la~" = upon, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "Min" = of, "Qobb-li" = before, "Kum" = you (pl.),
لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ = "La-'al-la Kum Tat-ta-qu~~n".  "La-'al-la" = perhaps, so that, "Kum" = you (pl.), "Tat-ta-qu~na" = you fear Allah, be devoted.
"Ya~ai-yu-hal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~ Ku-ti-ba 'A-lai Ku-mush-SHi-ya~mu Ka-ma~ Ku-ti-ba 'A-lal-La-dzi~na Minq~Qobb-li Kum La-'al-la Kum Tat-ta-qu~~n".  =  O those who believe/Believers! Fasting is decreed for you just like it was decreed for people before you so that you may be devoted (to Allah).
(Allah has decreed fasting for us, the Believers. Fasting means to abstain oneself from eating, drinking, having sexual intercourse and with the intention on performing it because of Allah. By fasting, one cleanses and purifies one's self and one's bad and evil habits, and curbs the path of the Satan in one's body. Fasting was also being decreed upon the Believers of the past. When we, the Believers perform fasting, we shall be devoted to Allah in fidelity and in abstaining from all evil deeds. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.).
(184) (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
