Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(20) يَكَادُ اُلْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَرَهُمْ صلى كُلَّمَآأَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوْاْ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُواْ ج وَلَوْشَآءَ اُللهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَرِهِمْ ج إِنَّ اُللهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
يَكَادُ اُلْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَرَهُمْ = "Ya-ka~dul-Barr-qu Yakh-to-fu Abb-sho~ro Hum", "Ya-ka~du" = Almost, "al-Barr-qu" = the lightning, "Yakh-to-fu" = snatch, dazzle, "Abb-sho~ro" = eyesight, "Hum" = their,

كُلَّمَآأَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوْاْ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُواْ = "Kul-la Ma~~ A-dho~~a La Hum~Ma-syaw Fi~Hi Wa I-dza~~ Azh-la-ma 'A-lai Him Qo~mu~", "Kul-la" = each, "Ma~" = what, "A-dho~~a" = to shed light, "La Hum" = upon them, "Ma-syaw" = walk, "Fi~ Hi" = in it, "Wa I-dza~" = and when, "Azh-la-ma" = darken, " 'A-lai Him" = upon them, "Qo~mu~" = they stand.

ج = a Waqof Jaiz/permissible pause sign.
وَلَوْشَآءَ اُللهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَرِهِمْ = "Wa Law SYa~~al-Lohu La DZa-ha-ba Bi Sam-'i Him Wa Abb-so~ri Him".

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
 (2) Solat: (iii) To Stand Upright In Solat Fardhu:
  The Quran rules that standing upright in Solat (fardu) is Wajib/obligatory. It is based on surah 2 Al-Baqoroh verse  238, "Maintain your solat, and the middle solat/'Ashor, and stand up with devotion before/in front of Allah".
 Sunnah/precept of the Prophet s.a.w. and Ij-timaa/consensus rule that it is Wajib on those who are able to stand upright in the solat.
 From 'Imron ibnu Hushain who said, "I have piles/haemorrhoids. I asked the Prophet s.a.w. about solat. He s.a.w. replied, "Stand upright when solat. If your are not able to do so, then perform it while sitting down, and it you are unable to do so, perform it while lying down".
The Ulama have unanimously of the opinion that while standing upright, both feet should be apart.
 Standing Upright In Solat Sunnah: (to be continued).
Until we meet again. See you all Quran Lovers soon.
