 My Dear Quran Lovers,
 Before we have a look into the B.O. the Prophet s.a.w., let us first look at the Sholah Witir. The Prophet s.a.w. used to perform the Sholah Witir at the early part of the night, at the middle of the night and at the last part of the night because the sholah Witir is, like what he s.a.w. said, as was narrated by Abu Daud and Nasa~i, from Abu Aiyub, "The Witr is necessary, so, whoever like to perform it with Five (rakaah / kneeling) do it, those who like to perform it with Three, do it, and those who like to do it with just One, do it". Thus, what the Prophet s.a.w. used to do was, he s.a.w. performed Two rakaah at the early part of the night, then another Two at the middle of the night and a One rakaah in the last part of the night.}.
 Let us now continue to look into the B.O. the Prophet s.a.w. : It was/is a usual practice that the salesman or the Representative of a business concern to go out stations to promote and to sell their merchandise to their regular and to new customers every month. That would have what the Youngman Muhammad s.a.w. did, every month he would go to Syria with his caravan to trade and would bring home large amount of profit. And when he s.a.w. was at home, he s.a.w. would tend to his camels and the flock of sheep and goats. He s.a.w. was not poor, but a well-to-do young man.
 After several times going out-station and making business dealings with the owner of the business, Siti Khadijah r.a., they became acquainted and Siti Khadijah r.a. became very fond of him s.a.w. All of us know that It is Allah s.w.t. Who Ordained our fate including our marriage, and it was ordained that Youngman Muhammad s.a.w. was to marry Siti Khadijah r.a. But it was Siti Khadijah r.a. who broke the ice and made the first move. She r.a. sent her close friend to Muhammad s.a.w. asking him s.a.w. whether he s.a.w. would like to get married. Muhammad s.a.w. said that he s.a.w. was not ready because his s.a.w. was still low in finance. The lady replied that how about if the lady who wished to marry him s.a.w. was willing and able to support him s.a.w. financially when they got married. Muhammad s.a.w. asked, "Who is she?" The lady replied, "The owner of the business, Khadijah binti Khuwailid". Muhammad s.a.w. was a bit shocked. The lady added, "There were many noblemen had asked for her hands in marriage but she refused". Muhammad s.a.w. thought for a while, said that he would like to have some time to think about it and would want to discuss it with his family first.
 After discussing with Abi Tolib and the family, Muhammad s.a.w. who was then Twenty Five years of age while Siti Khadijah r.a. was Forty. The " 'Aqadu Nikah"/marriage contract was performed by Abi Tolib in accordance with the Religion of Abraham a.s. law.
  Muhammad s.a.w. had only tasted his mother's love for merely Two years and was without his s.a.w. mother's love for about Twenty Three years. Siti Khadijah was a beautiful lady with lovely attributes and fine dispositions. Thus, Siti Khadijah r.a. gave him s.a.w. her love of a wife and also gave him s.a.w. a motherly love. She r.a. did not only gave him s.a.w. love but also strong support of all his s.a.w. struggles and in all those that he s.a.w. was doing. (to be continued).
 Until we meet again in the next session, Insya Allah. See all of You Quran Lovers soon.
 Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
