Recitation 359.A

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to look into the Rites For Umra:
  Reciting The Talbiyah/response:
  When we arrive at our Miqot Makani (our leader/guide will inform us when we reached there), we resolve in our hearts and also recite the Niat: "I resolve to perform Umra". Then we shall recite the Talbiyah. The Talbiyah is in respond to the call made by Prophet Abraham a.s. after he a.s. and his son, Prophet Ismail/Ishmael a.s. had finished rebuilding the Caaba. Allah s.w.t. said, (as in verse 27 of surah 22 Al-Hajj), "Wa Adz-DZinf~Fin~Na~si Bi-Hajj" = (And call out to mankind to perform the Hajj). Ibnu Abbas and many others said that when Prophet Abraham a.s. was asked by Allah s.w.t. to call out to mankind to perform the Hajj, said, "O Allah, how am I to call out to all mankind while my voice will not be able to reach them all?" Allah s.w.t. said, "You call out and I will convey". Then Abraham a.s. stood on his Maqom/standing stone and called, "O mankind! Your Lord had built a House, so come and perform the Hajj!". It was said that the mountains bowed, and his a.s. voice was heard by all over the earth, and Allah s.w.t. conveyed his a.s. call to the foetus in their mothers' wombs, and those that were still in their fathers' loins. The callwas heard by all, including the stones, the sand, the trees, the plants, and whosoever (in their spiritual world) that Allah s.w.t. had written (in the Louh al-Mahfuzh/Preserved Tablet) that they will perform the Hajj until the Doomsday, had responded by uttering, "Labbai Kal-Lohumma Labbaik!"
  Thus, we are repeating the respond that we had made when we were in our spiritual world when we heard the call by Prophet Abraham a.s.
We shall recite the Talbiyah until we reach our Maktab/hotel in Mecca.
  (A) On our way to Mecca, if we see anything that is spectacular to us or of our interest, it is Sunnah to recite:
 " لَبَّيْكَ, إِنَّ اُلْعَيْشَ عَيْشُ اُلْآخِِرَةِ = "Lab-bai Ka. In~nal-'Ai-sya 'Ai-syul-A~khi-roh" = ( Here I am at Your service! Truly the true mode of living is the living in the Hereafter). (from Mujahd, narrated by Asy-Syafiei).
  (B) When we see many beautiful houses with beautiful windows, denotes that we have reached Al-Harom/the Forbidden/Sacred city of Mecca, and also when we have arrived Mecca city itself, it is Sunnah to recite:
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا حَرَمُكَ = "Al-Lohum~ma Ha~dza~ Ha-ro-mu Ka" = (O Allah, this is You Harom/Sacred (the place that You have protected),
وَاَمَانُكَ = "Wa A-ma~nu Ka" = ( and the place You have secured peace),
فَحَرِّمْنِى عَلَى النَّارِ = "Fa Har-rim Ni~ 'A-lan~Na~r" =  (Thus, prohibit me from the Fiery Hell),
وَاَمِّنِّى مِنْ عَذَابِكَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ = "Wa A-min~ni~ Min 'A-dza~bi Ka Tabb-'a-thu 'I-ba~dak" = ( and protect me from Your torment on the Day You resurrect Your bondservants),
وَاجْعَلْنِى مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءِكَ وَأَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ = "Waj-'al Ni~ Min Aw-li-ya~~i Ka Wa Ah-li To~'a-tik". = (and make me (one) of Your friends and of a person of fidelity).  
 (C) When we have arrived at our Maktab/hotel, we shall be told by the person in charge, when we shall go the Masjul-Harom and to perform the Rites For Umra. Rest. And before leaving for the Masjidul-Harom, take Wudhu, because one of the conditions to perform Towaf, Solat and Sa'i, we must be clean of defilement.
  (D) When going to the Masjidul-Harom, it is good to bring along (i) the Book of Doa during Towaf, when drinking the ZamZam water, and during Sa'i and so forth. We might not hear clearly what our guide/mutawif reads out. (ii) A plastic bag to keep our slippers when in the Mosque.
Recite Talbiyah while walking to the Mosque.
  (E) When Entering The Masjidul-Harom: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.

"Zui-yi-na Lil-La-dzi~na Ka-fa-rul-Ha-ya~tud-Dun-ya~ Wa Yas-kho-ru~na Mi-nal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~".  = The beautiful life in this world that the infidels/unbelievers had, had made them feel that their life is good and beautiful. Thus, they have mocked and regarded the Believers as a low and despicable people.

(Allah is informing us, Muslimin, that He s.w.t. made the life in this world for the infidels/unbelievers seemed good and beautiful, and they are happy in it. They gather and keep their wealth and they refuse to spend them/their wealth to the way and to fulfil the commandment of Allah s.w.t. to give alms and charity. And at the same time, they look down upon those who are Believers, who fear and are devoted to Allah s.w.t., and spend their wealth that Allah s.w.t. had given them in accordance to the commandment of Allah s.w.t. in pursuing the pleasure of Allah s.w.t. They are the successful ones for they will be placed in Allah's Paradise in the Hereafter. They/the Believers will be placed in a high ranking place over and above those who are infidels/the unbelievers in the Resurrection Day. And then the unbelievers will be thrown in the Fiery Hell.
Allah s.w.t. gave, and is still giving, and will give Rizqi/blessing and fortunes limitlessly  to those whom He s.w.t. wished).

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
It seemed that there are still people, Muslimin, who do not have respect nor fear Allah s.w.t. Yesterday, 'Idd Day, in the local news, I saw many Muslimin place pieces of paper with the Name of Allah s.w.t., the Takbir and so forth on the ground near their feet and parallel to their bottoms. This is despicable. Papers or books containing Allah's s.w.t. Name/s must be placed higher than one's waist, and not below. Please take heed lest we will be cursed by Allah s.w.t., His Angels and His creation.
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, synopsis of Islam. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 
(211) سَلْ بَنِى~ إِسْرَءِيلَ كَمْ ءَاتَيْنَهُم مِّنْ ءَايَةِم بَيِّنَةٍ قلى وَمَن يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اُللهِ مِنم بَعْدِ جَآءَتْهُ فَإِنَّ اُللهَ شَدِيدُ اُلْعِقَابِ
سَلْ بَنِى~ إِسْرَءِيلَ = "Sal Ba-ni~~ Is-ro~~i~la",  "Sal" = Ask, "Ba-ni~" = children, "Is-ro~~i~la" = Israel,
كَم ءَاتَيْنَهُم مِّن ءَايَةِم بَيِّنَةٍ = "Kam A~tai Na~ Hum~Min A~ya-tim~Bai-yi-nah".  "Kam" = how many, "A~tai" = give, "Na~" = We, "Hum" = them, "Min" = of, "A~ya-tin" = verse, sign, "Bai-yi-na-tin" = evidence, clear proof.
"Sal Ba-ni~~ Is-ro~~i~la Kam A~tai Na~ Hum~Min A~ya-tim~Bai-yi-nah".  = Ask the Children of Israel, "How many verses/signs (of the Truth) which are evident that We/Allah had given to them/the Children of Israel.
قلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَمَن يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اُللهِ مِنم بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُ = "Wa Mai~Yu-bad-dil Nii-ma-tal-Lohi Mim~Baa-di Ma~ Ja~~at Hu",  "Wa" = And, "Man" = whosoever, "Yu-bad-dil" = he changes, "Nii-ma-ta" = grace, beneficent gifts, "Al-Lohi" = Allah, "Min" = from, "Baa-di" = after, "Ma~" = what, "Ja~~at" = come to, "Hu" = him,
فَإِنَّ اُللهَ شَدِيدُ اُلْعِقَابِ = "Fa In~nal-Loha SYa-di~dul-'I-qo~~bb".  "Fa" = then, "In~na" = truly, "Al-Loha" = Allah is, "SYa-di~du" = severe in, "al-'I-qo~bi" = punishment.
"Wa Mai~Yu-bad-dil Nii-ma-tal-Lohi Mim~Baa-di Ma~ Ja~~at Hu Fa In~nal-Loha SYa-di~dul-'I-qo~~bb".  =  And whosoever changes the Niimat/grace, beneficent gifts/joy, comfort and luxuries that Allah gave them after they received it/the Niimat, then truly, Allah is severe in (inflicting) punishment.
(Allah s.w.t. is informimg us, Muslimin, that He s.w.t. had bestowed many Niimat/joy, comforts, luxuries to the Children of Israel while sending forth to them Prophet Moses a.s. to bring forth clear proofs of the Truth, such as, his a.s. "gleaming" hand (he a.s. burnt and hurt his hand while a baby, wanting to take the glowing coal and to put into his mouth), his a.s. staff/stick, division of the Red Sea, hitting a rock which produced Twelve streams of water, clouds for their roof, descending of "Manna"/honey dew and "Salwa"/quails for their food and dessert, and many other signs which showed the existence of Allah/Yahweh in accordance with His s.w.t. wish. And Allah s.w.t. had also gave the clear proofs of the Prophet s.a.w. to them. However, many of the Children of Israel had slid back from teaching of Allah s.w.t. and the Prophets a.s./s.a.w. and they had changed Allah's Niimat that is the religion of Allah s.w.t., that is Islam, to denial/infidelity. They changed from believe in/having Faith in Allah to disbelieve. Thus, they will be punished severely because Allah is severe in inflicting punishment.).
(212) (to becontinued).
                                 oooo000oooo

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
(209) فَإِن زَلَلْتُم مِّنم بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْكُمُ اُلْبَيِّنَتُ فَاُعْلَمُواْ~ أَنَّ اُللهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
فَإِن زَلَلْتُم مِّنم بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْكُمُ اُلْبَيِّنَتُ = "Fa Inz~Za-lal Tum~Mim~Baa-di Ma~ Ja~~at Ku-mul-Bai-yi-na~tu",  "Fa" = Then, But, "In" = if, "Za-lal" = slip, to err, "Tum" = you (pl.), "Min" = from, "Baa-di" = after, "Ma~" = what, "Ja~~at" = to bring to, "Ku-mu" = you (pl.), "al-Bai-yi-na~tu" = the clear proof,

(Allah s.w.t. is reminding us, the Believers that if we slipped away/slid back from the Truth after He s.w.t. had estabilished the clear proofs to us, know that Allah s.w.t. is Most Powerful in His s.w.t. torment, and will never be defeated by anyone. He s.w.t. is Most Wise in His s.w.t judgments, and in His s.w.t. carrying into execution.).
                                  oooo000oooo
Let us now look into the Rites For Umra:
In the previous session, we have discussed about the group of the "future Hajj and Hajjah" who go to Medina first. Let us now discuss about the group who go from Malaysia to Jeddah and from Jeddah to Mecca. They, the menfolks will put on the Two pieces of white Ihrom cloths, while the womenfolks will put on their white Solat cloaks, from Malaysia. Their Miqot Makani is Qornul Manazil, where their will resolve in their hearts the Niat to perform the Ihrom for Umra, while reciting it, "I resolve to perform Umra".
From then on, they will recite the Talbiyah"/Response:
لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ = "Lab-bai Kal-Lohum~ma Lab-bai~k" = (Here I am, at Your service, O Allah, here I am, at Your service!).
لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ = "Lab-bai Ka La~ Sya-ri~ka La Ka Lab-bai~k" = (Here I am, at Your service, You are without peer/equal, here I am, at Your service!).
إِنًّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ = "In~nal-Ham-da Wan~Nii-ma-ta" = (Truly the praises and the thanks, and the grace,)
لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ = "La Ka Wal-Mulk" = (and the sovereignty belong to You).
لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ = "La~ Sya=ri~ka Lak".  = (You are without peer/ equal).
This Talbiyah/response should be recited loudly all the way to Mecca.
  (a) While the "future Hajj and Hajjah are travelling to Mecca, those who come directly from their home country and their Miqot Makani is Qornul Manazil, or from Medina and their Miqot is Dzul-Hulaifah or better known as Bir 'Ali, let us look into things that a person while in Ihrom can do:
(i) He/She may take a bath or shower (from Jabir r.a.).
(ii) wash clothes and change cloths/clothes, (from Jabir r.a.),
(iii) women may wear short pants, (from Aisyah, narrated by Bukhori).
(iv) women may cover their faces when there is dust and sand blown by the wind (narrated by Asy-Syafiei and others),
(v) women may wear half boots (from Aisyah narrated by Abu Daud and others),
(vi) men covering their heads due to forgetfulness (according some Syafiei people, but Hanafi was/is of the opinion that, they must pay Fid-yah).
(vii) to Hajam/to cup/to draw blood by a glass cup, to discharge pus, to extract a tooth, to cut a vein (from Malik, Ibnu Abbas, and Nawawi).
(viii) to scratch the head and the body (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.

                                       oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Rites For Umra:
(iv) Perform Two Rokaat Solat with a Niat performing the Ihrom. In the first Rokaat, recite Al-Fatihah and surah al-Kafirun, and in the second rokaat, recite al-Fatiha and surah Al-Ikhlas/Qul Huwal-lohu Ahad. (reported by Ibnu Umar, narrated by Muslim).
If, Solat Fardhu is perfoprmed, then, the 2 Rokaat Solat Sunnah need not be performed, because the Solat Fardhu covers the Solat Sunnah.
 The Categories of the Ihrom:
  There are Three categories of Ihrom:
  (i) Ifrod : Ihrom/to be in the state of become holy for the Hajj only from its Miqot. And after performing the Hajj completely, one will then perform the Umra, and start in a new Ihrom for the Umra from its Miqot.
  (ii) Qiron: To perform the Hajj together with the Umra, and a sacrifice of an animal must take place first.
  (iii) Ta-mat-taa/to enjoy. This is the most practised Ihrom. We put on the Ihrom for Umra first, then after performing all the Arkan/Basic Elements of the Umra, and the all the Wajibat/ obligatory to be performed, we Tahallul/end the Ihrom for Umra, and we then live our usual daily life until the time to perform the Hajj. Then we shall put on the Ihrom for the Hajj and perform the rites for the Hajj until the end, of the rite by shaving or cutting of hair..
And now we shall look into the Hajj Tamattaa.
(v) Then we shall leave our hotel to go to Mecca. When we arrived at our Miqot, Zul-Hulaifah ( we come from Medina), our Sheikh/leader will tell us to resolve the Niat for performing Umra, by reciting, "I resolve to perform Umra". This is in accordance with what the Prophet s.a.w. did. (as reported by Kamal ibnu Hammam). Then we shall continue to travel to Mecca.
 (vi) When Entering Mecca: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.

Recitation 354

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
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
(207) وَمِنَ اُلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْرِى نَفْسَهُ اُبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اُللهِ قلى وَاُللهُ رَءُوفُم بِاُلْعِبَادِ
وَمِنَ اُلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْرِى نَفْسَهُ اُبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اُللهِ = "Wa Mi-nan~Na~si Mai~Yasy-ri~ Naf-sa Hub-ti-gho~~a Marr-dho~til-La~h".  "Wa" = And, "Mi-na" = from, "an~Na~si" = the Mankind, "Man" = who, "Yasy-ri~" = he sells, sacrifices, "Naf-sa" = self, "Hu" = his, "ib-ti-gho~~a" = wishing, desiring, "Marr-dho-ti" = consent, pleasure, "Al-Lahi" = Allah.
"Wa Mi-nan~Na~si Mai~Yasy-ri~ Naf-sa Hub-ti-gho~~a Marr-dho~til-La~h". = And among the Mankind, there are people who sacrifice themselves (because) they are desiring (to earn) the consent/pleasure of Allah.
قلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَاُللهُ رَءُوفُم بِاُلْعِبَادِ = "Wal-Lohu Ro-u~fum~Bil-'I-ba~~dd".  "Wa" = And, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "Ro-u~fun" = to be Merciful, "Bi" = towards, "al-'I-ba~di" = the bondservants.
"Wal-Lohu Ro-u~fum~Bil-'I-ba~~dd".  = And Allah is always showing His mercy towards the/His bondservants.
(While informing about the behaviours of the hypocrites, Allah s.w.t. is also telling us some of the Believers who had sacrificed themselves in the battle in the cause of Allah so that they could earn the pleasure of Allah s.w.t., and Allah s.w.t. always show His Mercy towards the Believers).
(208) (to be continued).
                                     oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Rites For Umra:
  (4) When Stop, and Stay In A House/Hotel:
  It is Sunnah to recite when entering a house or a hotel, be it in Jeddah, or Medina or Mecca or wherever:
أَعُوذَ بِكَلٍمَاتِ اُللهِ التَّامَّاتِ كُلُّهَا مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ = "A-'u~dzu Bi Ka-li-ma~til-Lahit-Ta~m~ma~ti Kul-lu Ha~ Minsy~Syar-ri Ma~ Kho-laq".  = (I seek protection by Allah's verses/the Quran that are  all completely perfect, from the evil of which He created."
By reciting this, we shall be protected from all misfortune until we leave the house/hotel (as reportede by Khoulah binti Hakim Salmiyyah, narrated by Jamaah").
  (5) When our leader tells us that at such and such time, we shall leave for Mecca to perform Umra. (Let us say that we go to Mecca is to perform Hajj and Umra. From Malaysia, the "Future Hajj and the Future Hajjah" will be sent to either Medina first, then to Mecca, or be sent straight to Mecca). Those who are sent to Medina, when the time to go to Mecca to perform Hajj, they will be sent there a few days before the Tarwiah Day/the Eighth day of Dzul-Hijjah, a day before the Arafah Day/the Nineth day of Dzul-Hijjah). Before leaving Medina for Mecca, the "Future Hajj/Hajjah" will:
 (i) clean themselves, such as cutting nails, shortening the moustache, trimming the beard, removing the arm-pits hair, shaving the pubic hair, then have ablution or better still, take a bath/shower and then, have ablution. Those ladies who have menses or post natal bleeding, must take a bath. Then comb their hair and the beard. The ladies with menses or post natal bleeding should wear their towels. Taking a bath before performing Ihrom is Sunnah.
(ii) After the cleaning, menfolks should discard all sewn clothing and wear Two pieces of Ihrom cloths, one is a wrapper, covering the upper body except the head, and a cover, worn round the middle of the body and below, and tucked round the waist. These two pieces should be in white. (reported by Ibnu Abbas , narrated by Bukhori). Womenfolks should wear clothes as usual but with their faces and their palms uncovered.
(iii) Then apply perfume to the hair, body, clothing, if the scent is still on the bodies and the clothings when they are in Ihrom, is permissible. 
 (iv) Then perform Two Rokaat Solat (to be continued).
