أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to look into the explanation of verse 185 of surah Al-Baqoroh:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(185) "Allah desire comfort and ease for you and do not desire difficulty and hardship for you" means Allah allow us to break fast when we are sick or on a journey. For those of us who are at home and are healthy, we must fast. Fasting is an ease and a "Rahmat"/ blessing to us. 
There are some examples about the ease for those who are on a journey. Bukhori and Muslim have narrated in their books that the Prophet s.a.w. had gone out to do battle to liberate Mecca during a fasting month. When he s.a.w. and his men r.a. walked and arrived at al-Kadid, he s.a.w. broke fast and asked his s.a.w. men r.a. to break fast too. And in another incident, as told by Abu Saiid al-Khudri that he and others had followed the Prophet s.a.w. went on a journey during the month of Ramadan. Some of them were fasting and some did not. Those who fast did not condemn those who did not fast nor those who did not fast condemned those who fast. It was optional.
About "Qodhoo"/making up the fast, there are 2 opinions of the Ulama, (i) It must be continuously because Qodhoo is to fulfil the obligation to fast, (ii) it may be done on alternate days.
Allah is always desiring comfort and ease for mankind and is not desiring difficulty and hardship for us. It is mankind who love to make thing difficult and hard for others to practise. A Hadith from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Make thing easier and do not make thing difficult. Be calm and do not make (people) run away". (narrated by Bukhori and Muslim).
As narrated by Bukhori and Muslim that when the Prophet s.a.w. sent Mu'adz and Abu Musa to Yemen, the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Convey to the Yemen people of good tidings and do not instil  fear in their hearts. Give them ease and make thing simple for them and do not make thing difficult for them. And the two of you must get along well together and do oppose each other".
And it is mentioned in the Sunan and the Musnad that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "I am sent to bring about a religion of monotheism/ Oneness of God that is warm and sincere".
  "You should magnify Allah for He have guided you" (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبر كاته
