My Dear Quran Lovers,
 Let us continue to look into the brief B.O. the Prophet s.a.w. :
 After being told to get out of being wrapped up in the blanket and to get up and to wear clean clothes with pure heart and soul and body and not to do any evil deed, the Prophet s.a.w. began his s.a.w. preaching in his s.a.w. own home, and the members of his s.a.w. house hold, his wife, Siti Khadijah r.a., his Four daughters r.a., his s.a.w. cousin cum adopted son, a young but very intelligent child, 'Ali ibni Abi Tolib k.a.w.,  his s.a.w. servant, Zaid bin Harithah; and his s.a.w. very close friend, the only person who was not in his house hold, Abu Bakr, a well-to-do businessman who always believed and always acknowledged all what the Propohet s.a.w. said and/or did, as true, thence, he r.a. was described as "Ash-Shiddiq = The Truthful". These were/are the earliest and the First batch of Muslimin embraced Islam on the first day the Prophet s.a.w. preached Islam.
 Then the Second batch were 'Uthman ibni 'Affan, Sa'ad ibni Waqosh, a close relative of the Prophet s.a.w. who went to Canton/Kwangtung in about 617. {There is no written record about the coming of Islam to China because, since the T'ang Dynasty, 618 till the Ming Dynasty, 1368, China had Four great wars, and after each war, the victor regime would destroy all records and the culture of its predecessor, especially the Yuan or the Mongol Dynasty. They destroyed all records including the treasured Chinese Herbal Medicine by the well-known Wah Toh. But later, the Mongols after seeing the well-mannered and the well-behaved and well-doings of their Muslims servants all over China, in the Middle East and in Turkey and by the guidance of Allah, they, the Mongol leaders and their armies all embraced Islam. They are also known as the Tartars}, Abdur-Rohman bin 'Auf, Tolhah bin Abdullah and Al-Zubair bin Al-Awam.
 The Third batch were many, among them were Bilal bin Rabah Al-Habshi, Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Asad who then passed away and his widow, Hindun binti Abu Umaiyah, known as Ummu Salamah was married by the Prophet s.a.w. to give her a home and to look after her by him s.a.w. and his family members, Abdullah bin Mas'ud. known as Ibnu Mas'ud, Fatimah binti Al-Khottob, the sister of 'Umar ibni Al-Khottob r.a.  and many others. All were preached and called to Islam privately by the Prophet s.a.w. 
 Until we meet again in the next session, Insya Allah. See all of You Quran Lovers soon.
 Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
