أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
It seemed that there are still people, Muslimin, who do not have respect nor fear Allah s.w.t. Yesterday, 'Idd Day, in the local news, I saw many Muslimin place pieces of paper with the Name of Allah s.w.t., the Takbir and so forth on the ground near their feet and parallel to their bottoms. This is despicable. Papers or books containing Allah's s.w.t. Name/s must be placed higher than one's waist, and not below. Please take heed lest we will be cursed by Allah s.w.t., His Angels and His creation.
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, synopsis of Islam. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 
(211) سَلْ بَنِى~ إِسْرَءِيلَ كَمْ ءَاتَيْنَهُم مِّنْ ءَايَةِم بَيِّنَةٍ قلى وَمَن يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اُللهِ مِنم بَعْدِ جَآءَتْهُ فَإِنَّ اُللهَ شَدِيدُ اُلْعِقَابِ
سَلْ بَنِى~ إِسْرَءِيلَ = "Sal Ba-ni~~ Is-ro~~i~la",  "Sal" = Ask, "Ba-ni~" = children, "Is-ro~~i~la" = Israel,
كَم ءَاتَيْنَهُم مِّن ءَايَةِم بَيِّنَةٍ = "Kam A~tai Na~ Hum~Min A~ya-tim~Bai-yi-nah".  "Kam" = how many, "A~tai" = give, "Na~" = We, "Hum" = them, "Min" = of, "A~ya-tin" = verse, sign, "Bai-yi-na-tin" = evidence, clear proof.
"Sal Ba-ni~~ Is-ro~~i~la Kam A~tai Na~ Hum~Min A~ya-tim~Bai-yi-nah".  = Ask the Children of Israel, "How many verses/signs (of the Truth) which are evident that We/Allah had given to them/the Children of Israel.
قلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَمَن يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اُللهِ مِنم بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُ = "Wa Mai~Yu-bad-dil Nii-ma-tal-Lohi Mim~Baa-di Ma~ Ja~~at Hu",  "Wa" = And, "Man" = whosoever, "Yu-bad-dil" = he changes, "Nii-ma-ta" = grace, beneficent gifts, "Al-Lohi" = Allah, "Min" = from, "Baa-di" = after, "Ma~" = what, "Ja~~at" = come to, "Hu" = him,
فَإِنَّ اُللهَ شَدِيدُ اُلْعِقَابِ = "Fa In~nal-Loha SYa-di~dul-'I-qo~~bb".  "Fa" = then, "In~na" = truly, "Al-Loha" = Allah is, "SYa-di~du" = severe in, "al-'I-qo~bi" = punishment.
"Wa Mai~Yu-bad-dil Nii-ma-tal-Lohi Mim~Baa-di Ma~ Ja~~at Hu Fa In~nal-Loha SYa-di~dul-'I-qo~~bb".  =  And whosoever changes the Niimat/grace, beneficent gifts/joy, comfort and luxuries that Allah gave them after they received it/the Niimat, then truly, Allah is severe in (inflicting) punishment.
(Allah s.w.t. is informimg us, Muslimin, that He s.w.t. had bestowed many Niimat/joy, comforts, luxuries to the Children of Israel while sending forth to them Prophet Moses a.s. to bring forth clear proofs of the Truth, such as, his a.s. "gleaming" hand (he a.s. burnt and hurt his hand while a baby, wanting to take the glowing coal and to put into his mouth), his a.s. staff/stick, division of the Red Sea, hitting a rock which produced Twelve streams of water, clouds for their roof, descending of "Manna"/honey dew and "Salwa"/quails for their food and dessert, and many other signs which showed the existence of Allah/Yahweh in accordance with His s.w.t. wish. And Allah s.w.t. had also gave the clear proofs of the Prophet s.a.w. to them. However, many of the Children of Israel had slid back from teaching of Allah s.w.t. and the Prophets a.s./s.a.w. and they had changed Allah's Niimat that is the religion of Allah s.w.t., that is Islam, to denial/infidelity. They changed from believe in/having Faith in Allah to disbelieve. Thus, they will be punished severely because Allah is severe in inflicting punishment.).
(212) (to becontinued).
