Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 96 Al-'Alaqq. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(6) كَلَّا~إِنَّ اُلْإِنسَنَ لَيَطْغَى = "Kal-la~~ In~nal-Ins~sa~na La Yat*-gho~". "Kal-la~" = No, Be known, "In~na" = truly, "al-Ins~sa~na" = the mankind, "La" = really, "Yat*-gho~" = cruel.
"Kal-la~~ In~nal-Ins~sa~na La Yat*-gho~". = Be known! (Most of) The mankind is truly and is really cruel.
(7) أَن رَّءَاهُ اُسْتَغْنَى = "Ar-Ro-a~ Hus-tagh-na~". "An" = That, "Ro-a~" = regard, "Hu" = he, "is-tagh-na~" = to become rich.
"Ar-Ro-a~ Hus-tagh-na~" = Because he/they regard themselves as very wealthy.
(8) إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ اُلرُّجْعَى = "In~na I-la~ Rob-bi Kar-Rujj-'a~". "In~na" = Truly, "I-la~" = to, "Rob-bi" = Lord, "Ka" = your, "ar-Rujj-'a~" = the return.
"In~na I-la~ Rob-bo Kar-Rujj-'a~" = Truly, to your Lord is the return (of all of you, in the Hereafter). 
(9) (to be continued).

Let now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
 (2) Solat: Istinjaa/cleansing defilement with other than water:
 [Asy-Syaikh Sayid Sabiq did not include this Istinjaa Ruling in his book. I adapt this from Prof. T.M. Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqy's "A Collection of Hadith Hukum.
 (In 1970, when I was in the predeveloped Mecca, when returning from the Masjidil-Harom, I saw a black lady was squatting on the path, then she took a handful of  sand and threw it into her "skirt". I said to myself, "Is she "Istinjaa"? 
Let us see what is Istinjaa as taught by our beloved Prophet s.a.w.:
 (a) From Aisyah r.a. who said, "The Prophet s.a.w. said, "When anyone of you had urinate and/or excrete, then he must cleanse himself (his front part and/or backside) with 3 stones. It is suffice for him." (narrated by Ahmad, An-Nasa'i, Abu Daud and Ad-Daruqutni).
 (b) From Salman Al-Farisi who said, " The Prophet s.a.w. prohibited us to face the Qiblat/Caaba while "easing" ourselves, and prohibited us from using our right hands to cleanse (our both private parts), and prohibited us from using less than 3 stones and from using dry dung/dropings or bones for Istinjaa/cleansing the defilement." (narrated by Muslim, Abu Daud and Tirmidzi).
 Asy-Syafiei said, " (to be continued).
Until we meet in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers later.
