Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of the Religion of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(29) هُوَ اُلَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى اُلْأَرضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اُسْتَوَى~ إِلَى اُلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَوَتٍ ج وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَئٍ عَلِيمٌ
هُوَ اُلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى اُلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اُسْتَوَى~إِلَى اُلسَّمَآءِ  = "Hu-wal-La-dzi~ KHo-la-qo La Kum~Ma~ Fil-Arr-dhi Ja-mi~'anth~THum~mas-ta-wa~~ I-las-Sa-ma~~i",  = "Hu-wa" = He, "al-La-dzi~" = who, "KHo-la-qo" = create, "La Kum" = for all of you, "Ma~" = what is, "Fi~" = at, on, in, "al-Arr-dhi" = the earth, "Ja-mi~'an" = entirely, "THum~ma" = then, "is-ta-wa~" = to stand erect, "I-la~" = to, "as-Sa-ma~~i" = the heaven, sky,
فَسَوَّىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَوَتٍ = "Fa Saw-wa~hun~na Sabb-'a Sa-ma~wa~~t". "Fa" = then, "Saw-wa~" = make, "Hun~na" = them (f.), "Sabb-'a" = seven, "Sa-ma~wa~tin" = heavens.
"Hu-wal-La-dzi~ KHo-la-qo La Kum~Ma~ Fil-Arr-dhi Ja-mi~'anth~THum~mas-ta-wa~~ I-las-Sa-ma~~i Fa Saw-wa~ Hun~na Sabb-'a Sa-ma~wa~~t". = (It was) He/Allah who created for all of you (O Mankind) all things that are on/in the earth. Then He (deliberatedly/purposely) stood erect towards the sky and then made/fashioned it into seven heavens. (Allah had created two types of worlds, the visible world and the invisible world. The visible  or the physical world is,  all those that can be detected by our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. They are all around us in this world, on this earth, and in the earth and those which are above the earth and are under the lowest heaven. And they were created for us.. [The blue sky that we see is not the lowest heaven. It is the boundary between our physical world and the invisible world, the heavens and their contents]. And the invisible world is those that are undetectible by some of our senses especially our sight. They are the soul, the air, the heavens, the Angels, the Jinn and so forth).
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَئٍ عَلِيمٌ = "Wa Hu-wa Bi Kul-li SYai-in 'A-li~~m". "Wa" = and, "Hu-wa" = He, "Bi" = with, "Kul-li" = all, entirely, "SYai-in" = things, " 'A-li~mun" = knowing.
"Wa Hu-wa Bi Kul-li SYai-in 'A-li~~m" = And He/Allah knows all things.
(30) (to be continued).
[Verses 28 to 39 contain informations about the beginning of time, the creation of the earth and the seven heavens, the creation of Mankind, the enmity between the Jinni/the devil and Mankind/Adam a.s. and the birth of the Religion of Islam.].
                                     oooo000oooo
Let us now look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (vii) Suju~d/prostration:
     Sujud/prostration is performed by kneeling of both knees with both palms of both hands, and the soles of the toes of both feet, and the face be placed onto the floor. Sujud is a Fardhu/obligatory in solat as commanded by Allah in surah 22 Al-Hajj verse 77, as was mentioned in (v) Rukuu. And in the Hadith reported in by Abu Huroiroh about a man who performed solat before the Prophet s.a.w. incorrectly: The Prophet s.a.w. added that, "Then Sujud with a Tomaaninah/pause. Then raise and sit with Tomaaninah. Then Sujud again (for the second time) with Tomaaninah". Thus, the first Sujud with Tomaaninah, and then raise and sit with Tomaaninah, and then Sujud once again with Tomaaninah are Fardhu/obligation to be performed in a roka'at/bowing in solat, be it a solat Fardhu or a solat Sunnah.
  After Sujud the second time with Tomaaninah, raise. 
  The movements from Standing upright and utter the Takbir, then recite the Fatihah, then Rukuu, then Iitidal, then Sujud, then Sit, then Sujud the second time, and then Raise is called one Roka'at/bowing.

 The Length Of A Tomaaninah/pause: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
