أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

=  (When Ezra was revived back to life again, he opened his eyes and saw that he was like a corpse but his body was fine. Then he felt his body became refreshed. Then he saw his food and drink which were fruits were unspoilt. Allah asked him how long had he been resting, he said that he had rested a day or a part of a day. Allah told him that he was asleep for a hundred years. Allah had revived him from his death and had restored his fleshless body anew. Then he saw his donkey which was a pile of bones. Allah restored it and its skeleton was covered with flesh and skin, then became alive. That incident was a sign for Mankind, including Ezra who had questioned how Allah could revive the ruins in that country. And in the Resurrection Day, all Mankind will be alive again after their death. Ezra then said, "Now I know that You, O Lord, are Omnipotent over all things".).
Until we meet again in the next session, Insya Allah. See all of You, Quran Lovers soon.
