أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
Assalamu alaikum w. w.,
Dear Quran Lovers,
Now, we shall recite the surah 109 Al-Ka~firu~n. Please refer to the text:
   It was reported that a group of renown pagan Qureysh went to the Prophet s.a.w. to propagate their religion. They said to the Prophet s.a.w. that they would follow the teaching of the Prophet s.a.w. for a year and wanted the Prophet s.a.w. to follow theirs for a year and see which religion is better. The Prophet s.a.w. said, "A'u~dzu Bil-Lah from committing polytheism than Allah." Then the group left. In order to affirm the Prophet`s rejectio, Allah revealed the following":

The Prophet s.a.w. then went to the Masjidul-Haram and coincidentally the Qureysh group was present in the Mosque. The Prophet s.a.w. stood in front of them and recited this surah loudly.
In the next session, Insya Allah, we shall recite surah 108 Al-Kauthar.
Until then, see you all, Quran Lovers soon.
