Dear Quran Lovers,
It is reported in today's newspaper that a single mother, Safarela Ishak, 36, had lost her 3 children, Syauratul Syafiah Rizauddin 6, Syahir Syafi Rizauddin 8, and Syarafuddin Syazwan Rizauddin 11 from their home in Taman Meru, Ipoh, Perak. Let us lend her and the Police a hand by reciting surah YaSi~n and the Doa that the children be found and be returned to her safe and soon. Thank you all.
Let us continue recite surah 88 Al-GHosyiyah. Please refer to the text: 
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(21) فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمآأَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ = "Fa Dzak-kir In~na-ma~~ Ant~ta Mu-dzk-kir". "Fa DZak-kir" = Then remind, "In~na-ma~~" = truly, "Ant~ta" = you (sing.), "Mu-dzak-ki-run" = a reminder.
"Fa DZak-kir In~na-ma~~ Ant~ta Mu-dzak-kir" = Thence, remind them (with Allah's verses) because you (O Muhammad) are only a person who reminds others.
(22) لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ = "Las-ta 'A-lai Him~Bi Mu-shoi-t*ir". "Las-ta" =Not you, "'A-lai Him" = on them, "Bi" = by, "Mu-shoi-ti-rin" = dominant.
"Las-ta 'A-lai Him~Bi Mu-shoi-tir" = You (O Muhammad) are not dominating (them and not to force them).
(23) إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّى وَكَفَرَ = "Il-la~ Mant~Ta-wal-la~ Wa Ka-farr". "Il-la~" = Except, "Man" = who, "Ta-wal-la~" = turn away, avoid, "Wa Ka-fa-ro" = and deny (Allah).
"Il-la~ Mant~Ta-wal-la~ Wa Ka-farr". = Except those who avoid (performing things they are commanded by Allah to perform, i.e. the 5 pillars of Islam, the 6 Principals of Faith and so forth) and deny (the "Truth" by their words of mouth and by their actions).
(24) (to be continued).
                                  oooo000oooo
Let us continue to look at the Basic Islamic Rules:
(2) Solat: GHusul/major ablution : Affix:
[ From Khalifah ibn Husain who reported: "Qois ibn 'Ashim embraced Islam, then the Prophet s.a.w. asked him to bathe with water and "Sidrin"/lotus jujube leaves" (narrate by Ahamd, Abu Daud, An-Nasai and At-Tirmidzi). Ibnu Sakan said, " This Hadith is authentic." (ii) Asy-Syafiei said, "It is prefered that a person who is newly embracing Islam, when has uttered the "Syahadatain", ought to take a bath/major ablution if he was in a state of defilement before embracing Islam and had not bathe. If he were not in a state of defilement, he needs not bathe but by taking  a wudhuu is suffice." (iii) Malik and Ahmad said, " When one embraces Islam one must/wajib take a Ghusul. And Malik added, " Whether one is in defilement or not." (iv) Abu Hanifah said, " When embracing Islam, one must/wajib take a Ghusul if in defilement and has not Bathe before embracing Islam. If one has taken a Bath before embracing Islam, one needs not/not wajib to Bathe."]
{We are always doubtful about the body and things from the body such as sweat, saliva of an unbeliever, or a non-Muslim, is he/she "Najis"/defilement? (To be continued).
Until the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
