Dear Quran Lovers,
I heard what the Hamas Leader said that this fight will not stop without the "condition". Is the lives of women and children are valueless? Is it not better and wise to stop the fighting first, then sit and discuss about your "demand" Sir. Save the lives of your people first Sir, then discuss about the conditions. Thank you.

Today, in Malaysia, it is 17th of Ramadan, and it is called the Day of Nuzu~rul-Quran. It was the day when the first Five verses of the Quran, "Iqroo" were first revealed to the Prophet s.a.w. in the Hiraa cave some 1404  solar years/1448 lunar years ago.

Let us now continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, synopsis of Islam. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(200) فَمِنَ اُلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى اُلُّدُنْيَا  وَمَا لَهو فِى اُلْأَخِرَةِ مِن خَلَقٍ
فَمِنَ اُلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى اُلدُّنْيَا = "Fa Mi-nan~Na~si Mai~Ya-qu~lu Rob-ba Na~~ A~ti Na~ Fid-dun-ya~ (a Izh-har Mut-laq, when a silent Nun meets with Ya, and they are in one word, is pronounced Idhhar/distinctively and not Id-ghom/ assimilatingly),   "Fa" = Then, "Mi-na" = from, "an~Na~si" = mankind, "Man" = who, "Ya-qu~lu" = say, "Rob-ba" = Lord, "Na~" = our, "A~ti" = give, "Na" = us, "Fi~" = in, "ad-Dun-ya~" = the, this world,
وَمَا لَهُو فِى اُلْأَخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَقٍ = "Wa Ma~ La Hu~ Fil-A~khi-ro-ti Min KHo-la~~qq".  "Wa" = and, "Ma~" = no, nothing, "La" = for, "Hu~" = him, "Fi~" = in, "al-A~khi-ro-ti" = the Hereafter, "Min" = of, "KHo-la~qin" = portion, share.
"Fa Mi-nan~Na~si Mai~Ya-qu~lu Rob-ba Na~~ A~ti Na~ Fid-Dun-ya~ Wa Ma~ La Hu~ Fil-A~khi-ro-ti Min KHo-la~~qq".  =  And among them/those who performed the Hajj/Wukuf, who entreat Doa/prayer (to Allah, by saying), "O our Lord, give us (what is good) in this world", and (they do not ask for what is good in the Hereafter, there will be) nothing (good) for them in the Hereafter.
(From Ibnu 'Abbas who said, "A group of Bedouin tribe went to the place for "Wukuf"/stopping, and prayed, "O Allah, make this year a year of plenty of rainfall, a year of fertility, and a year of the birth of many good children", and they did not even once mentioned concerning their life in the Hereafter. Thus, Allah revealed this verse").
(201) (to be continued).
                                      oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Hajj and the 'Umroh rites:
Muslimin Are Wajib/obligated To Perform The Hajj Only Once In Their Lifetimes:
The Ulama were/are unanimously agreed that Hajj is Wajib to be performed once in one's lifetime, except if he/she had made a "Nadzar"/solemn pledge, then he/she must fulfil that vow.
Performing Hajj more than once, is a Sunnah. This is in accordance with the Hadith reported by Abu Huroiroh, narrated by Bukhori and Muslim.
To Perform A Wajib Hajj, the following  conditions must be fulfilled:
 (i) He/She is a Muslim.
 (ii) Baligh/come of age.
 (iii) Of Sound Mind.
 (iv) A Freeperson/ not a slave.
 (v) Able and Capable Of Performing the Hajj.
    A person is said to be able and to be capable to perform the Hajj is when he/she is (i) healthy, (ii) the journey is safe, free from robbers and from epidemic of any disease, (iii) has enough money, provisions and transportations. This is based on a report from Ibnu 'Umar narrated by Tirmidzi.
  The Hajj Prformed By A Child and A Slave:
  A child and a slave are not Wajib/obligated to perform the Hajj but, the Hajj they performed are Shoh/valid. This is in accordance with the Hadith from Ibnu Abbas narrated by Tibroni.
  The Hajj Performed By A Woman/female: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran lovers later.
