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
(191) وَاُقْتُلُواْهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ ج وَاُلْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ اُلْقَتْلِ ج وَلَا تُقَتِلُوهُمْ عِندَ اُلِمَسْجِدِ اُلْحَرَامِ حَتَّى يُقَتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ صلى فَإِن قَتَلُوكُمْ فَاُقْتُلُوهُمْ قلى كَذَلِكَ جَزَآءُ اُلْكَفِرِينَ
وَاُقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ = "Waqq-tu-lu~ Hum Hai-thu THa-qif-tu-mu~ Hum",  "Wa" = And, "uqq-tu-lu~" = kill, "Hum" = them, "Hai-thu" = wherever, "THa-qif-tu-mu~" = you (pl.) meet, find, "Hum" = them,
وَأَخْرِجُوهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ = "Wa Akh-ri-ju~ Hum~Min Hai-thu Akh-ro-ju~ Kum".  "Wa" = and, "Akh-ri-ju~" = drive out, "Hum" = them, "Min" = from, "Hai-thu" = wherever, "Akh-ro-ju~" = they have driven out, "Kum" = you (pl.).
"Waqq-tu-lu~ Hum Hai-thu  THa-qif-tu-mu Hum Wa Akh-ri-ju~ Hum~Min Hai-thu Akh-ro-ju~ Kum".  = And kill them wherever you (pl.) may find them, and drive them out from wherever/Mecca they had driven you (pl.) out. 
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
(This verse means, when you, Muslimin are engaging in a battle with the enemies, kill them wherever you find them. Then drive the enemies out from Mecca like they had driven you out of Mecca about seven years ago.).
وَاُلْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ اُلْقَتْلِ = "Wal-Fit-na-tu A-syad-du Mi-nal-Qotl".  "Wa" = And, "al-Fit-na-tu" = impiety/wickedness, sedition, disturbances, incitement, tortures, oppression, causing troubles, "A-syad-du" = is worse, more hazardous, "Mi-na" = than, "al-Qot-li" = the killing, murder.
"Wal-Fit-na-tu A-syad-du Mi-nal-Qotl".  = But the "Fitnah"/ wickedness is far more worse/more hazardous than murder.
(In fighting a Holy war/for the cause of Allah s.w.t., it riskes the loss of many lives, injuries, and maimed, Allah s.w.t. remind us, Muslimin that paganism, polytheism and idolaters, and to turn away from the right and straight path of Allah s.w.t. that the Pagan Arabs themselves are, is far more worse and more hazardous than the killing, murder. This means Allah allow the Muslimin to kill and to drive the Pagan Arabs out of Mecca when they are being attacked by the Pagan Arabs is to clean Mecca from the Infidels who are Polytheists and Idolaters which is a "Fitnah".
Abul 'Aliyah, Mujahid, Sa'id ibnu Jubair, 'Ikrimah, Al-Hasan Al-Bashri, Qotadah Adh-Dhahhak and Robii ibnu Anas said, " Syirik/Polytheism (is a Fitnah) is more hazardous than murder".
(to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
