Recitation 95

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
Yesterday this LT hang on me twice. We shall have to recite only one verse on each day in order to give more space for Islamic Rules.
Let us continue recite surah 67 As-Sajadah. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(14) أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اُلَّطِيفُ اُلْخَبِيرُ
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ = "A La~ Yaa-la-mu Man KHo-la-qo", "A La~" =Is it not, "Yaa-la-mu" = He knows, "Man" = who, "KH0-la-qo" = created
وَهُوَاُلَّطِيفُ اُلْخَبِيرُ = "Wa Hu-wal-La-t*i~ful-KHo-bi~~r". "Wa Hu-wa" = and He, "Al-La-t*i~fu" = the Refined, "Al-KHo-bi~ru" = the Expert.
"A La~ Yaa-la-mu Man KHo-la-qo Wa Hu-wal-La-t*i~ful-KHo-bi~~r". =  Is it not (Allah) who created (the Creation) does have the knowledge (about His creatures)? For He is the Most Refine, the Expert who knows the inner most of things. 
(to be continued).
Let us continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
(2) Solat: In the last session, we have looked into the Fardhu/obligatory acts/things to be done on the Major and the Minor ablutions. Allah has set in surah 5 Al-Maidah, verse 6 the mode of the Wudhuu. If any one or any part of the process is not complied with, then the ablution is null and void/worthless. We must make up for the part which we have missed, then the Wudhuu is good.
In surah 4 An-Nisaa, verses 69 & 80, Allah ordered us to obey Him and the Prophet s.a.w. The Prophet s.a.w. had set an example in taking Minor Ablution in addition to the rites set by Allah in s. 5, v. 6. When we follow the teaching of the Prophet s.a.w., we are obeying his Sunnah/precept of the Prophet s.a.w. which is commendable and will earn us reward. But it not a sin if we do not perform his Sunnah/precept. They are: (1) Wash both hands and recite, "Bismilla~hir-Roh*ma~nir-Roh*i~m". If we want to resolve the "Niat"/intent (in our hearts) to perform Minor ablution, we may do so here. (The Niat/intent may be: "Because of Allah I am performing Minor ablution". Niat/intent is to differentiate a " 'Ibadah"/piety  from an ordinary practice). (2) Rinse the mouth and brush the teeth, if there is no tooth-brush, fingers will suffice, repeat it 3 times. (Cleansing the mouth will do away bad breath because we are to recite verses of the Quran and will entreat Allah with doa/prayers in the solat, or whatever act we will perform). (3) Draw water into the nostrils, cleanse them and then blow the water out, repeat it 3 x. (4) Wash the face 3 x. (to be continued).
Until the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
