Assalamu alaikum w. w.
Dear Quran Lovers,
Today, we shall recite surah 108 Al-Kauthar:
  Imam Ahmad reported from Anas bin Malik, who said, "The Prophet s.a.w. fell into a dose, then he woke up smiling. It was not sure who said first, "Why are you laughing?" The Prophet s.a.w. replied, "A few moment ago, I was revealed a surah", then he recited the following:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
(1) إِنَّآأَعْطَيْنَكَ اُلْكَوْثَرَ = Standing Hamzah below with double Nun is "In~" (نّ is a Wajibul-GHunnah/obligatory to humming the nasal sound = 2 harakah), Nun above with Alif and meets with standing Hamzah is "Na~~" (a Madd ashli meets with a standing Hamzah is a Madd Jaiz Munffashil/permissible disjoin = 4 harakah), standing Hamzah above with silent 'Ain is "Aa", T*o above with silent Ya is "Toi" (a Madd Lin/softness = 2 harakah, and T*o is an Istiilaa and It*baq/the base and the middle of the tongue are raised), Nun above with a tiny Alif is "Na~" (a Madd ashli = 2 harakah), Kaf above with silent Lam is "Kal" (an Alif lam Qomariyah/moon), Kaf above with silent Waw is "Kaw" (a Madd Lin/softness = 2 harakah), THa above is "THa", Ro above is "Ro" but is paused, a Waqof Tamm/perfect, is "rr" (when a Ro is paused on and the letter before it is an above sign ثَ is a Ro Tafkhim/emphasis, thick "rre". "In" = Truely, "Na~~" = We, "Aa-t*oi-na~" = We give, "Ka" = you, "al-Kaw-tharr" =  the Kawthar/Abundance.  "In~Na~~ Aa-t*oi-na~kal- Kau-tharr" = We (Allah) have given you (O Muhammad) the Kawthar/abundance (i.e. prophetic, the Scripture/Al-Quran, the religion of Islam and Grace of Allah and also the river Kawthar and so forth).
(2) فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَاُنْحَرْ 
فَصَلِّ = Fa above is "Fa", SHod above and double Lam is "SHol" (SHod is an Istiilaa and an It*baq/the base and the middle tongue are raised), Lam below is "Li", "Fa" = Then, "SHol-li" = worship/ solat,

وَاُنْحَرْ = Waw above with silent Nun and meets with Ha above is "Wan" (نْ meets with حَ is an Izhhar/ expressing clearly the نْ ), H*a above with silent Ro is "H*arr" (a Ro Tafkhim/thick) and is paused, a Waqof Tamm/perfect. "Wa" = and, "in-h*arr" = slaughter.  "Fa SHol-li Li Rob-bi Ka Wan-h*arr" = So perform solat/prayer to you Lord and slaughter animal (in sacrifice on either the Day of Nahar, 10th of Zulhijjah, the 'Idul-Adh-ha or on either the Days of Tasy-riq, i.e. the following 3 days, the 11th, 12th or the 13th. And the animal/animals sacrified may be it a goat, sheep, bull, buffalo or camel, will be the ride during the Day of Resurrection and on the Day of Judgement).
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ اُلْأَبْتَرُ(3
إِنَّ = Standing Hamzah below and double Nun is "In~" (نّ is a Wajibul-GHunnah/obligatory humming the nasal sound = 2 harakah), Nun above is "Na", "In~na" = Truly
شَانِئَكَ = SYin above with Alif is "SYa~" (a Madd ashli = 2 harakah), Nun below is "Ni", Hamzah above ia "A", Kaf above is "Ka", "SYa~ni-a" = disgraced, insulted, "Ka" = you
هُوَاُلْأَبْتَرُ = He front is "Hu", Waw above with silent Lam is "Wal" (an Alif lam Qomariyah/moon), standing Hamzah above with silent Ba is "Abb" (Ba is a Qolqolah/emphasis letter, when it is silent, is "bbe"), Ta above is "Ta", Ro front is "Ru" but is paused on, a Waqof Tamm/Perfect, is "Tarr" (a Ro Tafkhim/thick). "Hu-wa" = he, "al-Ab-tarr" = the cut off, without descendant. "In~na SYa~ni-a-ka Hu-wal-Ab-tarr" = It is you insulter (when the Prophet's baby son, Al-Qosim passed away, a pagan Arab who hated the Prophet, named Al-'As bin Wa-il said insultedly, "Leave Muhammad because he is a cut off/without descendant. If he dies, his name will not be mentioned/be carried on") who is without descendant.  
صدق الله العظيم = True were the Words of Allah the Greatest.
The Prophet s.a.w. then said, "Do you all know what Al-Kawthar is?". They replied, "Only Allah and His Messenger know." He s.a.w. said, "It is a river in the Jannah/Paradise bestowed by my Lord to me. It has many goodness, where in the Day of Resurrection, my ummah/followers will be sailing in it. Its water-jars are as many as the stars in the sky. Then there will be one person who will be barred (from entering into it), and I will say, "O Lord, he is one of my ummah". Then I shall be told, "You do not know what they cococt/made up (false Hadith, false Islamic Rules, practices and so forth) after you have passed away". (narrated by Muslim, Abu Daud and An-Nasa-i). (Note: Muslims who had wudhu/ablution before solat, their heads, faces and exremities will be shinning bright in the Hereafter. And if they were to be punished in the fiery Hell, those parts of the body will not be touched by the fire).
In a report by Ibnu Majah from Ibnu Umar, that the Kawthar is a name of a river in the Paradise with both of its banks are made of gold. It flows on gems and saphires. Its soil is more fragrant than the ordour of musk. Its water tastes sweeter than honey and its colour is more white than snow. Who drink it once, will not feel thirsty any more."
In the next session we meet, Insya Allah, we shall recite surah 102 At-Taka~thur.
Until then, my salam to you all, Quran Lovers,
Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
