Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite verse 187 of surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text: 
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنكُمْ = "Fa Ta~ba 'A-lai Kum Wa 'A-fa~ 'Ank~Kum".   "Fa" = then, "Ta~ba" = to forgive. " 'A-lai" = upon, "Kum" = you, "Wa" = and, " 'A-fa~" = to pardon, " 'An" = on, "Kum" = you.
" 'A-li-mal-Lohu An~na Kum Kunt~Tum Takh-ta~nu~na Anf~fu-sa Kum Fa Ta~ba 'A-lai Kum Wa 'A-fa~ 'Ank~Kum".  = Allah knew that you (pl.) have betrayed yourselve/could not withstand your sexual desires, thus Allah have forgiven you and have pardoned you (for your wrong).
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
فَاْلْئَنَ بَشِرُوهُنَّ = "Fal-A~na Ba~syi-ru~ Hun~na",  "Fa" = Then, "al-'A~na" = now, "Ba~syi-ru~" = have sex with, "Hun~na" = them (f.),

(At first, the Muslimin broke their fast, eating, drinking and having sex with their wives between sunset and the time for 'Isyaa prayers or when they fell asleep. But there were Muslimin, who after performing 'Isyaa in the mosque, when they went home, they saw their topless bodies of their wives and smelled their body scent, (before the modernized Arabia in the 80's, there was no air condition and the weather was very hot. At home, women, young and old were topless) they could not refrain their desires and then had sex with their wives. After which, they felt remorse for breaking the Law. On the next day, one man went to the Prophet s.a.w. and told him s.a.w. what he had done last night. Then many men stood up and confessed and asked the Prophet s.a.w. to entreat for them to be forgiven. The Prophet s.a.w. replied that he s.a.w. was in no position to do that. Then, Allah revealed this verse 187: "Allah knew that you could not withstand your sexual desires, thus Allah have forgiven you and have pardoned you. Then you may now have sex with them/you wives, and seek what/offspring Allah had decree/determined for you).
(to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
