Dear Quran Lovers,
Alhamdulillah, and thank you Quran Lovers for your Doa, and I feel very much better. And a special THANK YOU to Mr. Presedent for your support and your action in eradicating the evil syndicate who prey on good and innocent people through out the world.
Let us continue to recite surah 2 al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(199) ثُمَّ أَفِيضُواْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ اُلنَّاسُ وَاُسْتَغْفِرُواْ اُللهَ ج إِنَّ اُللهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
ثُمَّ أَفِيضُواْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ اُلنَّاسُ = "THum~ma A-fi~dhu~ Min Hai-thu A-fa~dhon~Na~su",  "THum~ma" = Then, "A-fi~dhu~" = you (pl.) empty, leave, "Min" = from, "Hai-thu" = wherever, "A-fa~dho" = to empty, leave, go, "An~Na~su" = the Mankind, people,
وَاُسْتَغْفِرُواْ اُللهَ = "Was-tagh-fi-rul-Lo~h".  "Wa" = and, "is-tagh-fi-ru~" = you (pl.) ask forgiveness, "Al-Loha" = Allah.
"THum~ma A-fi~dhu~ Min Hai-thu A-fa~dhon~Na~su Was-tagh-fi-rul-Lo~h".  = Then leave  from wherever/the place (Arafah) to (the place) the people/pilgrims will go to, and ask forgiveness of Allah.
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
إِنَّ اُللهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ = "In~nal-Loha GHo-fu~rur-Ro-hi~~m".  "In~na" = Truly, "Al-Loha" = Allah, "GHo-fu~run" = Much-Forgiving, "Ro-hi~mun" = Merciful.
"In~nal_loha GHo-fu~rur-Ro-hi~~m".  =  Truly, Allah is Much-Forgiving, Merciful.
("Then leave from wherever/place (Arafah) to (the place) the people go to" means Allah s.w.t. commanded those pilgrims who had made/performed the  "Wuquf"/stop in Arafah to go to a place called Muz-dalifah to perform Dzikirulloh/remembering Allah at the "Masy'aril-Harom".
"And ask forgiveness of Allah. Truly Allah is Much-Forgiving, Merciful" = Allah commanded the pilgrims to recite Dzikirulloh/remembering Allah. Imam Bukhori and Imam Muslim had mentioned in their books, the Dzikrulloh is to repeat (i) the Tasbih/glorification of Allah, "Shub-hanalloh"/glory be to Allah, 33 times,  (ii) the Tahmid/thank and praise Allah, "Alhamdulillah"/ thank Allah and praise be to Allah, 33 times, and the Takbir/ magnify Allah, "Allohu Akbar/Allah is Great, 33 times at each time after performing Solat.
Bukhori narrated from Syaddad ibnu 'Aus said, The Prophet s.a.w. said, "The predominant Istighfar/apology is:
اللهُمَّ أَنتَ رَبِّى لَآ إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ = "Allohum~ma An~ta Rob-i~ La~ I-la~ha Il-la~ An~ta",  =(O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no other God but You",
أَنتَ خَلَقْتَنِى وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ = "An~ta Kho-laq-ta Ni~ Wa A-na 'Ab-du Ka",  = (You have created me and I am your bondservant),
وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَانِسْتَطَعْتُ = "Wa A-na 'A-la~ 'Ah-di Ka Wa Waa-di Ka Ma-nis-ta-too-tu"  = (And I am always adherent to Your promise the best I can),
أَعُوذُبِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ =  "A-'u~dzu Bi Ka Minsy~Syar-ri Ma Sho-naa-tu",  = ("I seek protection by You from evil that I had done), 
أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ = "A-bu~u La Ka Bi Nii-ma-ti Ka 'A-lai-ya" = (I acknowledge your Niimat/favour, comfort and luxury that You gave me),
وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِى = "Wa A-bu~u Bi Dzm~bi~" = (and I admit my sin).
فَاغْفِرْلِى = "Fagh-fir Li~" = (thus, forgive me),
فَإِنَّهُو لَا يَغْفِرَ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنتَ = "Fa In~na Hu~ La~ Yagh-fi-rodz-Dzu-nu~ba Il-la~ An~ta".  = ( Truly, there is none who can forgive me except You".)
"Those who recite this Istighfar at night, if passed away, they will enter the Paradise. And those who recite it in the day time, if passed away, will enter the Paradise." (narrated by Bukhori).).
(200) (to be continued).
