Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to look into the explanation of verse 217 of surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, the synopsis of Islam:
(217) (When Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a. was discussing with his companions whether or not they should attack the Meccan caravan, Waqid ibnu Abdullah As-Sahmi let loose an arrow and it killed 'Umru bin Al-Hadhromi. Then they caught Hakam and Uthman, the Pagan Meccans, but Nawfal could escape and ran home to Mecca. Abdullah took the Two Meccans and their merchandise home to Medina and to the Prophet s.a.w.
Sa'ad ibnu Abi Waqosh and 'Utbah ibnu Ghozawan r.a. who went in search for their ran away camels were captured by the Meccan Quraisy.
When the Meccans knew about 'Umru bin Al-Hadhromi was killed by the Muslim, they exaggerated the incident and accused the Prophet s.a.w. by saying in an insulting way that the Prophet s.a.w. had permitted killing people during the Forbidden Month (of Rajjab) and plundering the Meccan caravan of their merchandise. This reached the Prophet's s.a.w. ears, and at the same time, Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a.and his companions r.a. came to the Prophet s.a.w.. The Prophet s.a.w. said to them, "I did not sent you to battle.". The Two captives and the loot were detained. But the Prophet s.a.w. did not take any of the merchandise, and that had made the companions felt very bad. Then they said to the Prophet s.a.w., "O Messenger of Allah, we had killed the enemy. Then in that evening we saw the newmoon. But we could not make it out whether it was still Jumadil-Akhir or Rajjab (the Forbidden Month to fighting)". Thus, that incidence became the talk of the Muslimin in Medina. Thence, Allah revealed this verse. On receiving this verse, the Prophet s.a.w. felt greatly relieved, and took One Fifth of the confiscated merchandise for himself, and the remaining Four Fifth were distributed among the warring companions. That was the first spoilt of war in Islam.
Then a delegate from the Meccan Quraisy came to the Prophet s.a.w. to redeem Hakam and Uthman. The Prophet s.a.w. refused to accept their redemption until they, the Quraisy, released Sa'ad and 'Utbah r.a. who were in their captivity. If they did not comply, Hakam and 'Uthman would be killed. In the end, the Quraisy agreed and they had released Sa'ad and 'Utbah r.a. And the Prophet s.a.w. released Hakam ibnu Kiasan and 'Uthman bin Abdullah Al-Makhzumi. When Hakam ibnu Kiasan was released, he embraced Islam and he had fought side by side with the Prophet s.a.w. in many battles, but fell a Martyr in the Battle of "Biiru Ma'unah". But 'Uthman bin Abdullah Al-Makhzumi went back to Mecca, and in the end died an infidel.
When the Muslimin asked the Prophet s.a.w. whether or not it was a sin to fight in a battle during the Forbidden Month and in the Forbidden Land, Allah s.w.t. told the Prophet s.a.w. to reply that: fighting in the Forbidden Month (to battle) is a great sin, but (the Meccan Arabs at that time who were) preventing (people) from carrying on the course of Allah, and unbelief in Allah, and (preventing people from entering) the Sacred/Forbidden Mosque, and expelling/driving away the inhabitants from It/the Sacred Mosque, is far more greater (sin) in the sight of Allah.).

After Two days travelling, he r.a. opened and read the letter to his r.a. group.

In order not to have a fight, Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a. asked one of his men to shave his head, a sign of peace and not hostility. 'Akasyah did the honour and shaved his head and went near the caravan. He was accepted by the members of the caravan without any suspicion.
Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a., then discussed with his friends whether not to attack the caravan because that day was the last day of the month of Jumadil-Akhir, and the next day would be Rajjab, a Forbidden Month, one of the months when fighting was forbidden.
Waqid ibnu Abdullah Al-Sahmi, then let his arrow flew and killed 'Umru bin Al-Hadhromi. (He was the first infidel killed by a Muslim in the Islamic era). Two others were captured, while the other, Nawfal, escaped and ran home to Mecca. The Two captives and their property were brought back to Medina, to the Prophet s.a.w. While the Two companions, S'aad ibnu Waqosh and 'Utbah ibnu Ghozawan r.a. had lost their way and were captured by Meccan Quraisy.

Thus, He s.w.t. informed us that there were/are goodness installed for us in this world and in the Hereafter when we go to battle in the course of Him s.w.t.. Thus, obey, so that we may be rightly guided).

And the verse, "For Allah Know and you (pl.) do not" means that Allah s.w.t. Know the consequence/outcome of all thing. Thus, He s.w.t. informed us that there were/are goodness installed for us in this world and in the Hereafter when we go to battle in the course of Him s.w.t.. Thus, obey, so that we may be rightly guided).

The attack was so fierce, that they/the Muslimin had to dig a trench arround Medina city to check the onslaught of their enemies. Many Muslimin were frightened and were terrified. They asked the Prophet s.a.w. and the Believers who were with them, "When will the help from Allah come?" Thus, Allah s.a.w. sent this verse down to the Prophet s.a.w. to pacify those who were terrified and frightened. Allah s.w.t. said, "Remember/Know that Allah's help is near". Not long after that, Allah s.w.t. sent down distrust sowed into the hearts of the Pagan Arabs of Mecca and into the hearts of the Jews and the Hypocite Arabs that there was a conflict among them about the strategy of the attack, and at the same time Allah s.w.t. sent down strong wind and thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightenings that the pack was completely destroyed and retreated "with their tails between their legs"!. Some Ulama said that this verse was revealed during the Muslimin Emigrate/Hegira from Mecca to Medina, and some said it was during the Battle of Uhud.
This verse implies us, Muslimin and all too: We shall and are being tested, before we can enter the Paradise. So, have strong Faith in Allah s.w.t. and be patient.).

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to look into the explanation of verse 213 of surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, synopsis of Islam. Please refer to the text:
(213) أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
The verse, "Then Allah showed the Truth to the Believers who He willed about the agreement they had between them", as explained by Rabi ibnu Anas, means that when the disagreement occurred, they/the believers were still embraced the religion which was brought to them by the Messengers of Allah. They believed in Oneness of God and did not ascribe any partner to Him s.w.t.. They performed the Solat, and paid the Zakat. They adhered to the commandment of Allah s.w.t. even after the disagreement occured. These are the people who will be the witnesses of what the people had done on this world in the Judgment Day. They will be witnesses of Prophet Noah's a.s. people, of Prophet Hud/Houd's a.s. people, of Prophet Sholih/Salih's a.s. people, of Prophet Syu'aib/Shoaib's a.s. people, and of the family of Fir'aun/Pharaoh, that the Prophets of Allah a.s. had conveyed and accomplished the Risalah/message/ mission to them/the people, but they/the people, however, had regarded those Prophets as lies".
Abul 'Aliyah explained that this verse means that Allah s.w.t. removed the feeling of doubt and suspicion, and of error and delusion, and of temtation to evil from their/the Believers' hearts.

فَهَدَى اُللهُ اُلَّذِين ءَامَنُواْ لِمَا اُخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ اُلْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِى = "Fa Ha-dal-Lohul-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~ Li Makh-ta-la-fu~ Fi~ Hi Mi-nal-Haq-qi Bi Idz-nih". = "Fa" = Then, "Ha-da~" = to guide, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "al-La-dzi~na" = those who are, "A~ma-nu~" = Believers, "Li Ma~" = of what, "ikh-ta-la-fu~" = they differ, "Fi~ Hi" = in it, "Mi-na" = of, "al-Haq-qi" = the Truth, "Bi" = by, "Idz-ni" = leave, permission, "Hi~" = His.
"Fa Ha-dal-Lohul-La-dzi~na A~ma-nu~ Li Makh-ta-la-fu~ Fi~ Hi Mi-nal-Haq-qi Bi Idz-nih". = Then Allah showed the Truth to the Believers who He willed about the disagreement they had between them.
وَاُللهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَى صِرَطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ = "Wal-Lohu Yah-di~ Mai~Ya-sya~~u I-la~ SHi-ro~tim~Mus-ta-qi~~m". = "Wa" = And, "Al-Lohu" = Allah, "Yah-di~" = He guides, "Man" = who, "Ya-sya~~u" = He wish, "I-la~" = to, "SHi-ro~tin" = way, path, "Mus-ta-qi~min" = straight.
"Wal-Lohu Yah-di~ Mai~ya-sya~~u I-la~ SHi-ro~tim~Mus-ta-qi~~m". = And Allah guide those who He wished to the straight path.
(The differences that those people had were because of their grudge against one another. [This happens at all time, as long as we are called mankind, is it not so?].
Zaid ibnu Aslam said: They differed about the first day of the week, the Fridays, the Jews fixed it on Saturdays, the Christians, on Sundays. Then Allah s.w.t. gave the guidance to the Ummah/ followers of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. fixed it in Fridays. Then they differed on the Qiblat/direction faced while praying, the Christians chose the East, while the Jews chose Jerusalem, then Allah s.w.t. guided the followers of Muhammad s.a.w. to take Caaba in Mecca as their Qiblat.
They also differed in Solat/rites of praying. Some of them performed only by bowing without prostrating/be on all six, the palms, knees and toes without bowing/bending the head or the upper body at the waist. There are those who perform by prostrating only, but without bowing. There are also those who pray while talking to other people, and there are those who pray while walking. Then Allah showed the followers of Muhammad s.a.w. the proper Rites of Solat (it is the same as what the Angels perform).
They also differed in Fasting. There are some who fast only half a day. There are those who do not eat food only. Then Allah showed the Muslimin the right way to Fasting.
They also differed about Prophet Abraham a.s. The Jews said, "Abraham was a Jew". While the Chritians said, "Abraham was a Christian". But Allah told us, Muslimin, that Prophet Ibrohim/ Abraham a.s. was a "Hanif"/straight, truthful, honest and sincere and favouring the Truth person. And Allah s.w.t. had shown the Truth about Prophet Abraham a.s. to us, the Muslimin.
They also deffered about Prophet Isa/Jesus son of Mary a.s.. The Jews regard him a.s. as a Lie/false, and they accused his a.s mother, Siti Mariam/Mary or Marian had committed adultery. While the Christians made him a.s. as a god/idol and as son of god. But, indeed, Allah had created him/Isa/Jesus a.s. by His s.w.t. Word, "Kun/Be!", and put into him a.s. just like that of Prophet Adam a.s. His s.w.t. created Soul into him/Jesus a.s. Then He/Allah s.w.t. showed the followers of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. the Truth about Jesus a.s.

Dear Quran Lovers,
Yesterday, Friday the 22nd of August, we, in Malaysia, were having a solemn day when the bodies of the deceased, the Twenty victims of the MH17 plane which shot down in Ukraine, on July the 17th/ 19th Ramadan, were brought home from the Netherland, for burial.
As the coffins were carried by eight soldiers to the waiting hearses, I had recited, "Allohummaghfir La Hu/Ha War-ham Hu/Ha. Inna Ka Antal-Ghofurur-Rohi~m" several times for the Muslim/at, while for a non-Muslim, I recited, "Inna Lillahi Wa inna Ilai Hi roji'un".
There were souls of the Muslimin who came to me when I recited the Doa for him/her. And Allah had let me hear a low voice saying, "Kao ngo! = Save me" in Cantonese. (I speak Cantonese and a little Mandarin). I said, "Allah!", and entreat for her.
After Solat Ashor, I was made to understand that the souls who came to me in morning were those who had been following steadfastly this "Recite the Quran" sessions. They were our people, the Quran Lovers! They and we love the Quran means they and we love Allah! Thus, they and we are the LOVE of Allah!. Then I saw a pretty smiling face of a Chinese lady with very red lips. Alhamdulillah! Allah have accepted and is pleased with her, a non-Muslim who was a Muslim but was known by others as a non-Muslim. This Is the 'Ii-jat/inimitability of the Quran.
Then I heard a voice said, "I wish I were a Muslim". I said, "Allah, you regret too late. Why did you not recite the Syahadatain/two Testimonies of Muslim Creed when you were alive?".

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us look into the Fadhilah/excellence of the Masjid An-Nabawi:
(i) Jabir r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Performing One Solat in my mosque, its excellence is greater than and its rewards is greater than performing One Thousand Solat in other mosques, except the Masjidul-Harom in Mecca. Performing One Solat in the Masjidul-Harom, its excellence is One Hundred Thousand times greater than performing Solat in any other mosques". (narrated by Ahmad).
(ii) Anas bin Malik reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, " Whosoever performs Solat (Fardhu) in my mosque Forty times without missing One Solat, it will be recorded for him/her, free/ exempted from the Fiery Hell, and exempted from punishment and torment, and exempted from hypocrisy". (narrated by Ahmad and Tibroni).
(iii) Abu Huroiroh r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "The space/place between my house (i.e. his s.a.w. grave and the graves of his s.a.w. Two companions) and my Mimbar/podium is a representation of a garden among the gardens in the Paradise. And my Mimbar/podium stands on the bed of my lake." (narrated by Bukhori).
[The caretaker of Masjidu An-Nabawi had allotted certain time of each day for the ladies to be able to be inside the Rawdhah Syarifah and to visit the graves of the Prophet s.a.w. and his s.a.w. 2 Companions'. And when we, men and women, make Salam and entreat Doa, we must recite softly. And only manfolk are allowed to wear perfume, it forbidden to the ladies.].
(iv) Abu Dzar r.a. reported, "I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which mosque was first built on earth?" The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Masjudul-Harom". "Then, after It?", the Prophet s.a.w. answered, "Masjid Al-Aq-sho~". How long is the interval of time between them?" The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Forty years. And when the time for Solat comes, no matter where you are, perform the Solat there and then, because there is an excellence in it." [This is about Prophet Abraham a.s. building the Two mosques, the Masjidul-Harom and the Masjidul-Aq-sho in Jerusalem.].
(8) The Prophet s.a.w. had always visited Qubaa mosque every Saturday and performed 2 Rokaat Solat Sunnah there. He s.a.w. said, "Whosoever cleansed him/herself at home and come visiting Qubaa mosque and performs 2 Rokaat Solat Sunnah, will gain the reward for performing One Umra". (narrated by Ahmad, Nasa'i, Ibnu Majah and Hakim).
Qubaa Mosque was the first mosque built, in the whole world, outside Mecca. It was built by the Prophet s.a.w., after being commanded by Allah s.w.t., on Friday, 27th September, 622 A.D.
Then, the Prophet s.a.w. and Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq r.a. were on their Hijra to Medina. They stopped there, a place in Medina, called Qubaa.
(9) The Mecca and the Medina cities are called, Al-Haromain/ forbidden/Sacred Cities. Infidelity and comitting sins are forbidden in these Two Holy and Sacred Cities. Allah say in surah 22 Al-Hajj verse 25, "And those who commit wrongful and evil deeds in there/the Al-Ha-rom, We/Allah will make them taste a painful torment".
(10) When we are leaving Medina for home or for Mecca, and after visiting the graves of the Prophet s.a.w. and his s.a.w. 2 Companions, it is preferred for us to recite:
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ هَذَا آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ بِحَرَمِ رَسُوْلِكَ = "Al-Lohum~ma La~ Taj-'al Ha~dza~ A~khi-rol-'Ah-di Bi Ha-ro-mi Ro-su~li Ka" = (O Allah, please do not make this my last and final acquaintance/time with this Harom of Your Messenger,

Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us look into the Fadhilah/excellence of the Masjid An-Nabawi:
(i) Jabir r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Performing One Solat in my mosque, its excellence is greater than and its rewards is greater than performing One Thousand Solat in other mosques, except the Masjidul-Harom in Mecca. Performing One Solat in the Masjidul-Harom, its excellence is One Hundred Thousand times greater than performing Solat in any other mosques". (narrated by Ahmad).
(ii) Anas bin Malik reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, " Whosoever performs Solat (Fardhu) in my mosque Forty times without missing One Solat, it will be recorded for him/her, free/ exempted from the Fiery Hell, and exempted from punishment and torment, and exempted from hypocrisy". (narrated by Ahmad and Tibroni).
(iii) Abu Huroiroh r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "The space/place between my house (i.e. his s.a.w. grave and the graves of his s.a.w. Two companions) and my Mimbar/podium is a representation of a garden among the gardens in the Paradise. And my Mimbar/podium stands on the bed of my lake." (narrated by Bukhori).
[The caretaker of Masjidu An-Nabawi had allotted certain time of each day for the ladies to be able to be inside the Rawdhah Syarifah and to visit the graves of the Prophet s.a.w. and his s.a.w. 2 Companions'. And when we, men and women, make Salam and entreat Doa, we must recite softly. And only manfolk are allowed to wear perfume, it forbidden to the ladies.].
(iv) Abu Dzar r.a. reported, "I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which mosque was first built on earth?" The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Masjudul-Harom". "Then, after It?", the Prophet s.a.w. answered, "Masjid Al-Aq-sho~". How long is the interval of time between them?" The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Forty years. And when the time for Solat comes, no matter where you are, perform the Solat there and then, because there is an excellence in it." [This is about Prophet Abraham a.s. building the Two mosques, the Masjidul-Harom and the Masjidul-Aq-sho in Jerusalem.].
(8) The Prophet s.a.w. had always visited Qubaa mosque every Saturday and performed 2 Rokaat Solat Sunnah there. He s.a.w. said, "Whosoever cleansed him/herself at home and come visiting Qubaa mosque and performs 2 Rokaat Solat Sunnah, will gain the reward for performing One Umra". (narrated by Ahmad, Nasa'i, Ibnu Majah and Hakim).
Qubaa Mosque was the first mosque built, in the whole world, outside Mecca. It was built by the Prophet s.a.w., after being commanded by Allah s.w.t., on Friday, 27th September, 622 A.D.
Then, the Prophet s.a.w. and Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq r.a. were on their Hijra to Medina. They stopped there, a place in Medina, called Qubaa.
(9) The Mecca and the Medina cities are called, Al-Haromain/ forbidden/Sacred Cities. Infidelity and comitting sins are forbidden in these Two Holy and Sacred Cities. Allah say in surah 22 Al-Hajj verse 25, "And those who commit wrongful and evil deeds in there/the Al-Ha-rom, We/Allah will make them taste a painful torment".
(10) When we are leaving Medina for home or for Mecca, and after visiting the graves of the Prophet s.a.w. and his s.a.w. 2 Companions, it is preferred for us to recite:
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ هَذَا آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ بِحَرَمِ رَسُوْلِكَ = "Al-Lohum~ma La~ Taj-'al Ha~dza~ A~khi-rol-'Ah-di Bi Ha-ro-mi Ro-su~li Ka" = (O Allah, please do not make this my last and final acquaintance/time with this Harom of Your Messenger,
وَيَسِّرْلِى الْعَوْدَ إِلَى اْلْحَرَمَيْنِ = "Wa Yas-sir Li~l-'Aw-da I-lal-Ha-ro-main" = (And please make easier for me to come back here, the Ha-romain/Two Sacred Mosques again ,
سَبِيْلًا سَهْلَةً بِمَنِّكَ وَفَضْلِكَ = "Sa-bi~lan Sah-la-tam Bi Man~ni Ka Wa Fadh-li- Ka" = (and give me easy way (to return) by Your kindness and blessing and by Your grace,
وَارْزُقْنِى الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْأَخِرَةِ = "War-zuq Nil-'Af-wa Wal-'A~fi-ya-ta Fid-Dun-ya~ Wal-A~khi-roh" = ( and bless me with forgiveness and with good health and well-being in this world and in the Hereafter.
وَزِدْنَا سَالِمِيْنَ غَانِمِيْنَ إِلَى أَوْطَانِنَا آمِنِيْنَ = "Wa Zid Na~ Sa~li-mi~na Gho~ni-mi~na I-la~ Aw-to~ni Na~ A~mi-ni~n". = (and send us home safely, with success and gaining benefits, with calm and peace).
To all Quran Lovers and all Muslimin who go/are going to Mecca and Medina to perform the Hajj, Umra and visit Medina and the Prophet's and his s.a.w. family, companions and all Muslimins' graves, I wish all of you May Allah Bless All of You and, Doa that All Of You Will Gain Hajj Mabrur, and All Of Your Doa, Wishes and Desires Will Be Fulfilled by Allah s.w.t..
