Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(97) قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُو نَزَّلَهُو عَلَى قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اُللهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ هُدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ = "Qul Mank~Ka~na 'A-duw-wal-Li Jibb-ri~la",  "Qul" = Say, "Man" = whosoever, "Ka~na" = is,  "   'A-duw-wan" = enemy, "Li" = of, "Jibb-ri~la" = Gabriel,
فَإِنَّهُو نَزَّلَهُو عَلَى قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اُللهِ = "Fa In~na Hu~ Naz-za-la Hu~ 'A-la~ Qol-bi Ka Bi Iz-nil-Lahi",  "Fa" = then, "In~na" = truly, "Hu~" = he, "Naz-za-la" = brings down, reveals, "Hu~" = It, " 'A-la~" = on, into, "Qol-bi" = heart, "Ka" = your, "Bi" = with, by, "Iz-ni" = permission, "Al-Lahi" = Allah,
مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ = "Mu-shod-di-qol-Li Ma~ Bai-na Ya-dai Hi", "Mu-shod-di-qon" = approving and confirming, "Li Ma~" = which was, "Bai-na" = before, "Ya-dai" = hand, "Hi" = his,
هَدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ = "Hu-daw~Wa Busy-ro~ Lil-Muu-mi-ni~~n".  "Hu-dan" = a guidance, "Wa" = and, "Busy-ro~" = good tidings, "Li" = to, "al-Muu-mi-ni~na" = the Believers.
"Qul Mank~Ka~na 'A-duw-wal-Li Jibb-ri~la Fa In~na Hu~ Naz-za-la Hu~ 'A-la~ Qol-bi Ka Bi Idz-nil-Lahi Mushod-di-qol-Li Ma~ Bai-na Ya-dai Hi Hu-daw~Wa Busy-ro~ Lil-Muu-mi-ni~~n". = Say! "Who is an enemy to Gabriel, who, truly, brings It/the Quran into your heart by Allah's will, approving and confirming that which were (revealed) before It, and (It is) a guidance and (It brings) good tidings to the Believers".
(This verse was revealed to deny the Jews' accusation that Archangel Gabriel a.s. was their enemy. There were 5 occurrences which had happened before this verse was revealed, and let us take a look at one, from Anas bin Malik that 'Abdullah bin Salam, a Jew heard that the Prophet s.a.w. was coming, and at that time he was in the desert. When the Prophet s.a.w. came, he said, "I want to ask you three things which are unknown by anyone except by a Prophet, (i) What is the first sign of the Doomsday. (ii) What is the first food served in the Paradise. (iii) What causes a child resembles the look of his father or mother?"
The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Gabriel has just told me about them". Abdullah said, "Gabriel?". The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Yes. The Gabriel who is the enemy of the Jewish people. Say! Who is an enemy to Gabriel, who, truly, brings It/the Quran into your heart. (i) The first sign of the Doomsday is a fire accompanying mankind from the East to the West. (ii) The first food served in the Paradise is the whale liver. (iii) If the male's sperm dominions the female's , then the child will resemble the father's look. But if the female's dominions the male's, then the child will look like her."
Then, Abdullah bin Salam declared the Muslim creed/Syahadatain". (narrated by Bukhori).
(98) (to be continued).

Let us now continue to look into the Islamic Basic Rules:
   (2) Solat: (F) Solat Sunnah:
   (c) Solat Sunnah Rowatib Maghrib:
    After performing Solat Fardhu Maghrib, it is Sunnah to perform two Rokaat Solat Sunnah Maghrib based on the Hadith Ummu Habibah and Ibnu Umar that the Prophet s.a.w. had never missed performing it.
  The Niat is أُصَلِّى سُنَّةَ اُلْمَغْرِبِ = "U-shol-li~ Sun~na-tal-Magh-rib".
  If it were a Qo-dhoo/make up for/accomplishment, أُصَلِّى سُنَّةَ الْمَغْرِبِ قَضَاءً = "U-shol-li~ Sun~na-tal-Magh-ri-bi Qo-dho~an".
  (d) Solat Sunnah Rowatib 'I-syaa:
  It is Sunnah to perform two Rokaat Solat Sunnah 'Isyaa after performing Solat Fardhu 'Isyaa.
  These twelve Rokaat Solat Sunnah are of  Solat Sunnah Mu-ak-kadd/positive category.
   The Surah recited after Al-Fatihah, in the first Rokaat, the Prophet s.a.w. had always recited surah 109 Al-Kafirun: Qul Ya~~ Ai-yu-hal-Ka~firu~~n. And in the second Rokaat is surah 112 Al-Ikhlash: Qul Hu-wal-Lohu Ahadd, this is based on the report from Ibnu Mas-'ud r.a., narrated by Ibnu Majah.  
  There are Solat Sunnah Rowatib Ghoi-ro Mu-ak-kadd/not positive:
  (i) Two or four Rokaat before Solat Fardhu 'Ashor:
   There are many Hadith about this. Among which is a Hadith from Ibnu Umar r.a. who reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Allah have Mercy on those who perform four Rokaat Sunnah before 'Ashor". (narrated by Ahmad, Abu Daud, Tirmidzi, Ibnu Hibban and Ibnu Khuzaimah).
  Of two Rokaat, is based on a Hadith, "Between the Azan and the Qomat there is a (two Rokaat) Solat (Sunnah). (narrated by Jamaah/group).
  (ii) Two Rokaat Before Maghrib:
   From Abdullah ibnu Mughofal that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Perform Solat before Maghrib, perform Solat before Maghrib," then after the third time, he s.a.w. said, "for those who wish to do it". 
  (iii) Two Rokaat Before 'Isyaa:
  From Abdullah ibnu Mughofal that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Between the Azan and the Qomat there is a (2 Rokaat) Solat (Sunnah)," then after the third time, he s.a.w. said, "for those who wish to do it". (narrated by Jamaah).
  Ibnu Zubair reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "There is no Solat Fardhu except there is before it a two Solat Sunnah". (narrated by Ibnu Hibban).
  (iv) Solat Sunnah Witir/odd (in numbers): (to be continued).
