أعوذبالله من الشيطان الرجيم    
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
Assalamu alaikum w. w. Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue with the Quran letters:
(14) a shape of a beret cap with a cup shaped tail = SHod = ص
(15)         - do -                      - do -   with a dot above = DHod = ض
(16)         - do -               with a stick    = T*o  = ط
(17)         - do -               -do -  with a dot above = ZHo = ظ
                   ooooo00000ooooo
(14) The makhraj of SHod = ص         is from the tip edge of the tongue to the closed upper and lower teeth with the middle of the tongue is lifted up. 
(B.M.) Makhraj huruf SHod = ص ialah tepi lidah diletak dekat gigi atas dan gigi bawah yg tertutup, tetapi dgn tengah lidah terangkat.
(15) The makhraj of DHod = ض       is either the right or the left side (which ever is convenient) of the tongue is placed to the upper molar  tooth.
(B.M) Makhraj huruf DHod = ض ialah tepi hujung lidah hingga ke dalamnya diletak di geraham samada kanan atau kiri ( yg mana selesa).
(16) The Makhraj of T*o = ط     is from the tip of the tongue pressed to the hard palate near the gum of the upper front teeth, and the middle of the tongue is lifted up.
(B.M.) Makhraj huruf T*o = ط ialah hampir hujung lidah dan diletak di lelangit dekat gigi kapak atas dan tengah lidah terangkat.
(17)The makhraj of ZHo = ظ    is from the inner tip of the tongue is placed on the tip of the upper front teeth and the middle of the tongue is lifted up.
(B.M.) Makhraj huruh ZHo = ظ ialah tepi lidah diletak di tepi gigi kapak atas dan tengah lidah terangkat.
(Note: The shape of the beret cap denotes the middle of the tongue is lifted up and it is called "Istiilaa". By "istiilaa", it diferentiates the pronounciations between SHod =ص and Sin =س , between DHod = ض and Dal= د , between T*o = ط and Ta = ت , and between ZHo = ظ and Zai = ز.
(B.M.) Huruf2 berbentuk topi beret menggambarkan keadaan tengah lidah terangkat semasa menyebut huruf2 itu yg dipanggil, "Istiilaa". Dengan mengangkatkan lidah keatas akan dapat membezakan bunyi huruf antara SHod = ص dgn Sin = س , antara DHod = ض dgn Dal = د , antara T*o = ط  dgn Ta = ت , antara ZHo = ظ  dgn Zai = ز).
                                         ooooo000ooooo
Kita sambung lihat makna Nama Allah No69: Al-Qo>dir = Yang Maha Kuasa = Berkuasa diatas sesuatu.
(English) = The Most Capable One.= Capable of any thing and every thing.
Kita lihat Rukun Iman ke4: Percaya akan Rasul: Ulul `Azmi: Muhammad s.a.w. Hari pertama Nabi s.a.w. gagal berbicara hal Islam dgn keluarganya kerana dikacau oleh Abu Lahab. Ada diantara mereka yg meminta Nabi s.a.w. adakan sekali lagi dan Abu Lahab jangan diundang. Nabi s.a.w. mengundang kesemua keluarganya sekali lagi termasuk Abu Lahab. Perjumpaan kali kedua itu diadakan di kaki bukit Safa. Nabi s.a.w. mengajak mereka menyembah Allah dan memberi berita takut berkenaan dgn Hari Akhirat. Seruan Nabi s.a.w. diterima oleh mereka dgn terdiam. Abu Lahablah pembikin kacau. Dia mencela, memaki hamun Nabi s.a.w. dan bila dia hendak memukul Nabi, Abi Talib bangun dan berkata yg dialah penjaga dan pembela Nabi s.a.w. Kerana  celaan dan maki hamun Abu Lahab terhadap Nabi s.a.w, Allah telah turunkan Firman ini: s. 111 Al-Lahab ayat 1 - 5, "Binasalah kedua belah tangan Abi Lahab dan (sebenarnyalah telah) binasa ia. Tidak memberi faedah kepadanya hartanya dan (tiada) apa yg ia usahakan. Ia akan masuk ke dalam api yg berjulang2. Dan (juga) isterinya, penanggung/pengangkut kayu api (berduri dan diletak di lorong2 gelap, pada waktu malam, yg biasa dilalui oleh Nabi s.a.w. supaya menyakitkan dan mencederakan Nabi s.a.w.). Yang di lehernya ada tali dari sabut (akan mati terjerut leher oleh tali sabut yg mengikat kayu api yg di angkutnya itu.). (bersambung).
(English) Let us look into the Rule of Iman No.4: Believe in the Messenger: Ulul `Azmi: Muhammad s.a.w.: The Prophet s.a.w. had failed in his first attempt to propogate Islam to his kinsfolk because of Abu Lahab. Some of his kin asked him to have a meet for the second time but without Abu Lahab. The Prophet s.a.w had once again invited his kinsfolk including Abu Lahab. The meet was at the foot of Safa mountain. The Prophet s.a.w. encouraged them to worship Allah and told them about the punishment in the Hereafter. They became silent. Abu Lahab broke the silence with his insults and swearing and cursing the Prophet s.a.w. and wanted to hit the Prophet, Abu Talib stood up and exclaimed that he was the protector of the Prophet s.a.w. In reponse to Abu Lahab`s insult and curses, Allah says in s.111 Al-Lahab v. 1 - 5, "May the hands of Abi Lahab be perished and he will perish. His wealth and gains will not of any use to him. He will be grilled in the soaring flame. And his wife, the wood carrier (carrying thorny woods and put in the dark alleys at night where the Prophet always used to pass so that the thorny woods would hurt the Prophet. The bundle of woods were tied with a fibre rope and the fibre halter was hung on her forehead with the bundle of the woods by her back side). Will have a halter of fibre round her neck ( and would be choked by fibre halter.) (to be continued). 
Until the next session, we shall see you all later, Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
