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
(187) أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ اُلصِّيَامِ اُلرّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَآئِكُمْ ج هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ قلى عَلِمَ اُللهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وًَعَفَا عَنكُمْ صلى فَاُلْئَنَ بَشِرُوهُنَّ وَاُبْتَغُواْ مَا كَتَبَ اُللهُ لَكُمْ ج وَكُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ اُلْخَيْطُ اُلْأَبْيَضُ مٍنَ اُلْخَيْطِ اُلْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ اُلْفَجْرِ صلى ثُمَّ أَتِمُّواْ اُلصِّيَامَ إِلَى اُلَّيْلِ ج وَلَا تُبَشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَكِفُونَ فِى اُلْمَسَجِدِ قلى تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اُللهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا قلى كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اُللهُ ءَايَتِهِى لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ اُلصِّيَامِ اُلرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَآئِكُمْ  = "U-hil-la La Kum Lai-la-tash-SHi-ya~mir-Ro-fa-thu I-la~ Ni-sa~~i Kum".   "U-hil-la" = It is lawful, permissible, "La" = for, "Kum" = you (pl.), "Lai-la-ta" = night, "ash-SHi-ya~mi" = the fast, "ar-Ro-fa-thu" = to obscene, to have sex, "I-la~" = with, "Ni-sa~~i" = women, "Kum" = your (pl.).
"U-hil-la La Kum Lai-la-tash-SHi-ya~mir-Ro-fa-thu I-la~ Ni-sa~~a".  = It is lawful for you to have sex with your women/wives on the nights of the fasting (month).
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ = "Hun~na Li-ba~sul-La Kum Wa An~tum Li-ba~sul-La Hun~n".  "Hun~na" = They (f.), "Li-ba~sun" = clothing, raiment, "La" = for, "Kum" = you (pl.), "Wa" = and, "An~tum" = you (pl.), "Li-ba~sun" = raiment, "La" = for, "Hun~na" = them (f.).
"Hun~na Li-ba~sul-La Kum Wa An~tum Li-ba~sul-La Hun~n".  = They/the wives are your raiment, and you are their raiment.
(This verse is revealed to explain to the Muslimin the Rule and Regulation of Fast.
When verse 185 was revealed, the Muslimin fast during the day and broke fast at sunset. Then they were allowed to eat and drink and have sex with their spouses until the time for Isyaa prayers or when he/she fell asleep. When the time for Isyaa had come or they slept, then they are not allowed to eat nor to drink nor to have sex until the next sunset.
The verse: "They are your raiment and you are their raiment"", Ibnu Abbas said, "They/the wives give comfort to you and you give comfort to them". 
Rabii ibnu Anas said, "They are your blanket and you are their blanket". A blanket means to cover, to envelop, to hide and to conceal one's lustful desire. A husband and a wife act as a concealment or a prevention for each other from doing evil deeds such as having illegal sex and so forth).
(to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
