ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
 My Dear Quran Lovers,
  Let us continue to recite surah 3 Al-'Imro~n, verse No.2. Please refer to the Text :
 أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
 اللهُ لآ إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ (2) 
 = "Al-Lohu La~~ I-la~ha Il-la~ Hu-wal-Hai-yul-Qoi-yu~~~m".
 = "Al-Lohu" (a Lafdzul-Jala~lah. The second Lam is a Tafkhim) = The God.
 = "La~" (a Mad Ashli but after it, is a Standing Hamzah, is a Mad Jaiz Mumfashil, to 2, 4, or 6 harakah, "La~~") = no,
 "I-la~ha" (a Mad Ashli) = God,
 "Il-la~" (a Mad Ashli) = except,
 "Hu-wa" (after the above sign Waw is an Alif Lam Qomariyah, "-wal-") = him,   "(A)l-Hai-yu" (a Mad Lin, and after the front sign Ya, is an Alif Lam Qomariyah, "-yul-") = the Living,   "(A)l-Qoi-yu~m" ( a Mad Lin. And a Mad Ashli but is paused at it, becomes a Mad 'Aridh Lis-Sukun, to 2, 4, or 6 harakah, "-yu~~~m") = the Everlasting in regulating His Creation. 
  = "Allah, there is no (other) God except Him the Living and the Everlasting in regulating His Creation.".
 = (The reason why this verse was revealed is, when a group of 60 Christians from Nejran, Yemen, and among them were 14 dignitaries, with 3 of them were a Leader, a Minister and a well-known Clegyman who had obtained acknowledgement and was honoured by the Roman Emperors for having much knowledge in Christianity, came to Medina and made a stop at the mosque, at which time the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was performing Asar Prayers. 
  When the group entered into the mosque, and when their time for saying Prayers came, they prayed in the mosque with the consent of the Prophet s.a.w.. They faced towards the East and prayed. After praying, Two of the leaders called on the Prophet s.a.w., and had a chat with the Prophet s.a.w. During the chatting, the Prophet s.a.w. appealed to them to embrace Islam. Both of them replied, "But we have embraced Islam earlier than you." But the Prophet s.a.w. falsified their being Islamic or Muslims because (i) they claimed that God has a son, (ii) that they worship the Cross, and (iii) that they eat pork / flesh of the pig, thus, they were/are not Islamic people / Muslims. (to be continued).
  Till we meet again in the next session, Insya Allah, my Salam to all of You, the Quran Lovers.
 Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
