Dear Quran Lovers,
The Prophet s.a.w. said:
(1). . اُلقُرْآنُ هُوَ اُلنُّورُ اُلْمُبِينُ, وَالذِّكْرُالْحَكِيمُ, وَالصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ رواه البيهقى = The Quran, is the Nurul-Mubi~n/Clear Light, and is a citation/expression of Wisdom, and is the straight path. (narrated by Baihaqi)
(2) القُرآنُ يُقْرَأُ بِلُحُونِ الْعَرَبِ وَأُصْوَاتِهَا, وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَلُحُونَ أَهْلِ الْعِشْقِ, وَلُحُونَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابَينِ, فَإِنَّهُ سَيَجِئُ بَعْدِى قَوْمٌ يُرْجَعُونَ بِالقُرآنِ تَرْجِيعَ الْغِنَاءِ وَالنَّوْحِ, لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ, مَفْتُونَةٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ, وَقُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ يُعْجِبُهُمْ شَانُهُمْ. رواه حذيفة   = The Quran, It is/should be recited with the Arabic intonation/melody, and its/Arabic vocal. And take care not to recite It with the melody of the people who are in love nor the people of the Scriptures/hymn, because there will come (and they have already come) a group of people reciting the Quran like people singing song and wailing/loud weeping. Thence, it does not surpass their larynx/it is futile, and their hearts will be of those conceited to scandalous." (narrated by Hudzaifah). صدق رسول الله = True were the words of the Messenger of Allah..
 Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(46)  أُلَّذِين يَظُنُّونًَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَقُواْ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَجِعُونَ = "Al-La-dzi~na Ya-zhun~nu~na An~na Hum~Mu-la~qu~ Rob-bi Him Wa An~na Hum I-lai Hi Ro~ji-'u~~n".    "Al-La-dzi~na" = Who, "Ya-zhun~nu~na" = they think/have strong opinion, "An~na" = that, "Hum" = they, "Mu=la~qu~" = to meet, "Rob-bi" = Lord, "Him" = their, "Wa" = and, "An~na" = that, "Hum" = they, "I-lai" = to, "Hi" = Him, "Ro~ji-'u~na" = return.
"Al-La-dzi~na Ya-zhun~nu~na An~na Hum~Mu-la~qu~ Rob-bi Him Wa I-lai Hi Ro~ji-'u~~n". = (Those who resort help to Allah with patience and perform solat are those) Who have strong opinion/know with certainty that they will meet with their Lord (in person in the Hereafter). And (know with certainty) that they will return to Him.
[The Hadith from Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, (narrated by Muslim)  said, "In the past, there were many people asked the Prophet s.a.w. about the possibility that they would have a look at Allah in the Hereafter. He s.a.w. replied, "Certainly. Would you be barred from looking at the sun at midday when the sky is clear?" They answered, "No sir." Then the Prophet s.a.w. said, "In the Hereafter, all of you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah tabaroka wa ta'ala/to obtain the blessing of and to be elevated, like you can easily see the sun and the full moon. Then, in the Hereafter, there will be an announcement that every group of people to follow who/what they had worshipped on the earth (during their lifetime), then all the idol worshippers will follow and fall, in groups, into the Fiery Hell. The only people left will be those who worshipped Allah of the good people, and of the bad people and the surplus (the Jews and the Nazarenes after their religions were altered by their priests and their leaders) of the People of the Scriptures. Then the Jews will be asked, "What did all of you worship?". They answer, "Uzair/Ezra son of god". Then it will be said to them, "It's a lie! Allah had no wife and had no son." Then they will be asked what do they want. They, the Jews will reply, "God, we are thirsty. Give us drink." Then they will be shown and be said, "Go to the water". Then they will be escorted to a mirage of water but it is actually the fire of Hell. And there they will all fall in groups.
 Then the Nazarenes will be called, (to be continued).

Let us continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In A Solat:
  (ii) To Place The Right Hand On The Left Hand: It is Sunnah/ optional to put the right hand on the left, in solat. There were/are twenty Hadith reporting about it. 18 were from the companions and 2 from the Tabi'in/disciples of the companions. The prophet s.a.w. said, "Truly, we, the prophets are commanded to quickly break our fast, and to delay eating "Sahur"/meal shortly before dawn during Ramadan, and to place our right hands on the left hands when solat." 
 The Place Where The Hands Are Put:
 Kamal ibnu Hammam said, "There is no correct Hadith which tells where the hands are put in solat. Except the followers of Hanafi place theirs below the navel.
The Syafieiah, below the chest (above the navel)'
 The Hanbaliah, (a) some below the navel and (b) some place them above the navel.
 According to Tirmidzi who said that some of the companions and the Tabi'in, placed their hands below the navel, and some, above the navel. Both ways are correct.
 Halib ath-Thai reported, "I saw the Prophet s.a.w. placed his right hand on his left hand at his left wrist, on his chest." (narrated by Ahmad and Tirmidzi said the Hadith was a good Hadith).
The Hadith from Wail ibnu Hajar, narrated by Ibnu Khuzaimah, Abu Daud and Nasa'i had reported the same thing.
 Thus, we may place our hands on all these three places, either below the navel, or above ther navel or on the chest. It is only Sunnah/optional.
    (iii) To Recite Tawajjuh/Doa Iftitah = beginning: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session. See you all Quran Lovers soon.
