                               oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
   (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In a Solat:
   (xi) The Manner Of Kneeling To Perform Sujud and To Raise From It: 
   The Jumhur/multitude of Ulama were/are of the opinion that it is Sunnah to place both knees first before placing both hands/palms to the floor. This is as reported by Ibnul Mundzir from 'Umar Nakh'i, Muslim ibnu Yasar and many others. Ibnu Qoiyim said, "The Prophet s.a.w. put his knees before his both hands/palms to the floor, then his palms, then his eyebrows and nose". This a true clarification which was narrated by Syarik, from 'Ashim ibnu Kalib who heard it from Wa~il ibnu Hajar who said, "I saw the Prophet s.a.w., when he s.a.w. Sujud, he s.a.w. placed his knees before his hands/palms, and when rise, he s.a.w. lifted up his hands before his knees.".
But, on the other hand, Malik, Auza'i and Ibnu Hazmin were of the opinion that it was/is Sunnah to place both hands/palms first before the knees. Ahmad had also narrated the same. Auza'i said, "I found that people placed their hands first before their knees".  And according to Ibnu Abi Daud, this is of the opinion of the People of Hadith. 
   The Manner Of Raising From A Sujud:
   There are two different opinions on the manner of raising from the Sujud, just like that of the kneeling to perform Sujud: (a) The Multitude say that it is Sunnah to lift both hands first then the both knees, while (b) to raise both knees first than the both hands.
[These are only Sunnah/optional].
  (xii) The Ritual Of Sujud: (to be continued).

This is the tenth Niimat/comfort Allah had given the Children of Israel).

                                        oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In A Solat:
  (x) The Recitation When Iitidal: 
      It is Sunnah for a person, be he the Imam or the Maamum or performing the solat alone, to recite when raising from the Rukuu and raising both hands to the shoulders, "Sa-mi-'al-Lohu Li Man Ha-mi-dah" = Allah hears those who thank and praise Him".
Then when standing up straight, put down both hands to the sides and recite, "Rob-ba Na~ Wa La Kal-Hamdd." = O our Lord, to You be praised.". This is based on the report by Abu Huroiroh r.a., who said, "That the prophet s.a.w. recited "Sami-'al-Lohu Li Man Hamidah", when raised his back from Rukuu". Then when stood up right, he s.a.w. recited, "Robba Na~ Wa La Kal-Hamdd".(narrated by Ahmad, Bukhori and Muslim).
From Abu Huroiroh r.a. who said, "The Prophet s.a.w. said, "When the Imam recites, "Sami-'al-Lohu Li Man Hamidah", then all of you Maamum/followers must say, "Robba Na~ Wa La Kal-Hamdd". Whosoever say it at the same time as the Angels, their sins will be pardoned". (narrated by Ahmad and others).
It is Sunnah also to add to the utterance, "Robba Na~ Wa La Kal-Hamdd" with " Ham-dank~Ka-thi~ront~Toy-yi-bam~Mu-ba~ro-kanf~Fi~h" = O our Lord, to You be praised with lots of praises, of good praises and be blessed.". This was reported by Rifa'ah ibnu Rofii, who said, " One day, we solat behind the Prophet s.a.w. And when he s.a.w. raised his head from Rukuu, he s.a.w. recited, "Sami-'allohu Li Man Hamidah", a man uttered, "Robba Na~ La Kal-Hamdu Hamdank~Kathi~ront~Toy-yi-bam~Mu-ba~rokanf~Fi~h". Then after, solat, the prophet s.a.w. turned to us and asked, "Who said those words?". The man replied, "It was I, O Rosu~lulLoh." The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Truly, I saw more than thirty Angels rushing to write down (rewards to you).". (narrated by Ahmad, Bukhori, Malik and Abu Daud).

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(59) فَبَدَّلَ اُلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ اُلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَى اُلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ اُلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ
فَبَدَّلَ اُلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَاُلَّذِي = "Fa Bad-da-lal-La-dzi~na ZHo-la-mu~ Qow-lan GHoi-rol-La-dzi~",  "Fa" = Then, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "ZHo-la-mu~" = cruel, "Qow-lan" = words, "GHoi-ro" = without, other than, "al-La-dzi~" = which,
قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَى اُلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ = "َQi~la La Hum Fa Anz~zal Na~ 'A-lal-La-dzi~na ZHo-la-mu~",  "Qi~la" = was said, "La Hum" = to them, "Fa" = then, "Anz~zal" = bring down, "Na~" = We, " 'A-la~" = upon, "al-La-dzi~na" = who, "ZHo-la-mu~" = cruel, 
رِجْزًا مِّنَ اُلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ = "Rijj-zam~Mi-nas-Sa-ma~~i Bi Ma~ Ka~nu~ Yaf-su-qu~~n".  "Rijj-san" = filth, "Mi-na" = from, "as-Sa-ma~~i" = the heaven, sky, "Bi Ma~" = for what, "Ka~nu~" = they be, "Yaf-su-qu~na" = impious, sinful.
"Fa Bad-da-lal-La-dzi~na ZHo-la-mu~ Qow-lan GHoi-rol-La-dzi~ Qi~la La Hum Fa Anz~zal Na~ 'A-lal-La-dzi~na ZHo-la-mu~ Rijj-zam~Mi-nas-Sa-ma~~i Bi Ma~ Ka~nu~ Yaf-su-qu~~n". = (Allah commanded the Children of Israel to bow and utter"Hittoh" when entering the city gate) But those cruel people changed the word which was not told them to utter, thence  We/Allah brought down to those cruel people filth/punishment from the heaven because they were sinners.
(After living in the At-Taiyeh desert for 40 years, Allah allowed the Children of Israel to enter the country/Jerusalem under the leadership of Prophet "Yusyaa" a.s. who replaced Prophet Moses a.s. who had passed away in the desert in 1065 B.C., some 3,078 years ago. They were told to enter the country/Jerusalem through the city gate bowing and uttering "Hittoh"/O Lord! Forgive us", instead, they entered the gate jutting out their bottoms and uttering "Hintoh"/wheat with the intent of mocking the Prophet a.s. Thence, Allah sent down to those cruel people filth/cholera as a punishment which had killed some 70,000 of them within an hour because of their evil doing.).
O = An eight angles star = end of the part.
(60) (to be continued).
                                ooooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In a Solat:
  (ix) Recitation In Rukuu:
   It is Sunnah to recite "Dzikir"/words in praise of Allah with "Sub-ha~na Rob-bi-yal-'A-zhi~m" = Glory be to Allah the Most Glorious". From 'Uqbah ibnu 'Amir who said, "When the verse, "Fa Sab-bih Bis-mi Rob-bi Kal-'A-zhi~m", the Prophet s.a.w. said to us, "Place It in your Rukuu". (narrated by Ahmad, Abu Daud and others and its isnad is really good).
(Thus, by reciting this Dzikir, we also perform the Tumaaninah/ pause which is a Fardhu/duty in a solat).
There are four Dzikir from four reports made (a) by Ali r.a. which was narrated by Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Daud and others, (b) by 'Aisyah r.a., and (c) by 'Auf ibnu Malik narrated by Abu Daud, Tirmidzi and Nasa'i, and (d) another by 'Aisyah r.a. (and I chose this) who said, " When in Rukuu and in Sujud, the Prophet s.a.w. had at most of the time or usually recited: "Sub-ha~na Kal-Lohum~ma Rob-ba Na~" = O our Lord! Glory be to You,  "Wa Bi Ham-di Ka" = and many thanks and much praise be to You,  "Al-Lohum~magh-fir Li~" = O Allah! Forgive me", in obeying the command of the Quran." (narrated by Ahmad, Bukhori, Muslim and others). [I, have personally, added the words, "Wa Li Wa~li-dai-ya" = and (forgive) my parents (too)", to the last word, "Li~". What we were taught in school were (a) in Rukuu is : "Subha~na Rob-bi-yal-'A-zhi~mi Wa Bi Ham-dih" = Glory be to the Most Glorious Lord and many thanks and much praise to Him (then add Al-Lohum~magh-fir Li~ Wa Li Wa~li-dai-ya). (b) In Sujud: "Sub-ha~na Rob-bi-yal-'Aa-la~ Wa Bi Ham-dih" = Glory be to the Most High and many thanks and much praise to Him" + Al-Lohum~magh-fir Li~ Wa Li Wa Li Wa~li-dai-ya."].
  (x) The Recitation When Iitidal: (to be continued).
This blog wish to take the Saturday off, to follow the Annual General Meeting of UMNO, the Leader of the Barisan Nasional, the Government of Malaysia governing coalition party.
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.

Dear Quran Lovers,
Our east coast of Peninsular of Malaysia is receiving heavy rain for three days now, and there is flood. Let us recite surah Yasin and the Doa so that the rain would be sent away to places where rain water is needed and that the flood be subsided. Thank you all.
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:

وَإِذْ قُلْنَااُدْخُلُواْ هَذِهِ اُلْقَرْيَةَ = "Wa Idz Qul Nadd-khu-lu~ Ha~dzi Hil-Qorr-ya-ta", "Wa Idz" =And when "Qul" = say, "Na~" = We, "udd-khu-lu~" all of you enter, "Ha~dzi-hi" = this, "al-Qorr-ya-ta" = country,

(We have recited about Prophet Moses a.s and his people who ran and got free from the cruelty of the Pharaoh and his people. They had escaped from Egypt and had lived in Sinai in a desert called Al-Taiyeh where life was hard and the place was very hot. Thus, Allah covered the sky there for them with clouds to give them shade. And for their food and drink, Allah sent down Mann/ honey-dew which descended from the sky at dawn like the morning dew, until sun rise, to be collected by them. For their food, quails/ birds would fly to them and were to be caught by them and be slaughtered. They were allowed only to have sufficient quails for each person only for that day, except on Fridays they were allowed to catch and keep quails for two days because Allah did not send down quails on Saturdays. However, there were the bad people who took more than enough that the quails became bad and were wasted. Thus Allah said, "Eat of the good food. And they/the bad ones did not treat Allah with injustice but they did wrong to themselves that the quails became bad."
I believe all of us, Quran Lovers understand the teaching in these verses. These are the teachings of Islam).
After Prophet Moses a.s. and his poeple had lived in the desert for about 40 years, then, Allah commanded them to go to Jerusalem: (to be continued).

Let us continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
   (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In A Solat:
    (viii) The Ritual Of Rukuu: It is Wajib/obligatory to Rukuu/bow by bending the upper body at the waist parallel to the floor. The head is in a straight line with the back and the buttocks. Both hands are placed on both knees. Both arms must be straight at the elbows and must not be bent and pressed to the waist. The fingers are not closed together but are apart. As a rule, the feet are apart. The knees must be straight. From Abu Humeid who said, "That the Prophet s.a.w. when Rukuu he did it simply, neither bending downwards nor tilting upwards (but straight), and he placed his hands on his knees, as if he was clutching them." (narrated by Nasa'i). 'Uqbah ibnu 'Amir which was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Daud and Nas'i, and from 'Aisyah r.a. which was narrated by Muslim, and from Ali r.a. which was narrated by Ahmad and Abu Daud, and also from Mash'ab ibnu Sa'ad which narrated by Al-Jamaah had reported to the same effect.
  (ix) Recitation In Rukuu: (to be continued).

Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(57) وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ اُلْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ اُلْمَنَّ وَاُلسَّلْوَىصلى كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَتِ مَا رَزَقْنَكُمْصلى وَمَا ظَلَمُواْنَا وَلَكِن كَانُواْ~أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ اُلْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ اُلْمَنَّ وَاُلسَّلْوَى = "Wa ZHol-lal Na~ 'A-lai Ku-mul-GHo-ma~ma Wa Anz~Zal Na~ 'A-lai Ku-mul-Man~na Was-Sal-wa~".  "Wa" = And, "ZHol-lal" = to shade, "Na~" = We, " 'A-lai" = over, "Kum" = all of you, "al-GHo-ma~ma" = the clouds, "Wa Anz~zal" = and sent down", "Na~" = We, " 'A-lai" = on, to, "Ku-mu" = all of you, "al-Man~na" = the honey-dew, "Wa" = and, "as-Sal-wa~" = the quails.
"Wa DHo-lal Na~ 'A-lai Ku-mul-GHo-ma~ma Wa Anz~zal Na~ 'A-lai Ku-mul-Man~na Was-Sal-wa~". = And We/Allah cast shade over all of you (with) the clouds (when all of you were in the 
Al-Taiyeh desert). And We/Allah sent down the honey-dew and the quails/birds.
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَتِ مَا رَزَقْنَكُمْ = "Ku-lu~ Mint~Toy-yi-ba~ti Ma~ Ro-zaqq Na~ Kum".  "Ku-lu~" = Eat, "Min" = from, of, "Toy-yi-ba~ti" = good, "Ma~" = what, "Ro-zaqq" = provide, "Na~" = We, "Kum" = all of you.
"Ku-lu~ Mint~Toy-yi-ba~ti Ma~ Ro-zaqq Na~ Kum". = Eat of the good (food) that We/Allah provided you.
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَكِن كَانُواْ~ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ  = "ًWa Ma~ ZHo-la-mu~ Na~ Wa La~kink~Ka~nu~~ Anf~fu-sa Hum Yazh-li-mu~~n".  "Wa " = And, "Ma~" = not, "ZHo-la-mu~" = treat with injustice, "Na~" = We, "Wa" = and, "La~kin" = but, "Ka~nu~" = they to be, are, "Anf~fu-sa" = selves, "Hum" = them, "Yazh-li-mu~na" = did wrong.
"Wa Ma~ ZHo-la-mu~ Na~ Wa La~kink~Ka~nu~~ Anf~fu-sa Hum Yazh-li-mu~~n". = And they did not treat Us/Allah with injustice, but they did wrong to their own selves.
(When Prophet Moses a.s. had chosen 70 persons to be brought to Mount Sinai, as was commanded by Allah, he asked them to fast, then cleansed them selves and put on clean clothes and set for Mount Sinai. When arrived, the followers asked Prophet Moses a.s. to let them hear Allah's speaking. And Allah obliged them and said, "I am Allah/Yahveh. There is no God but Me. I delivered all of you from Egypt by My Power, thus worship Me and do not worship others.". When they heard that, they said to Prophet Moses a.s., "O Moses! We shall not believe in you before we see Yahveh/Allah plainly".
 In this world, there is no creature  strong enough to look at Allah, and what they asked was out of limit. So, Allah sent a thunderbolt, killing all of them. Prophet Moses a.s. was distressed and he wept for a day and a night. Then he a.s. said, "O Lord, They came with me and they were alive. If You wanted to kill them why did You not kill them before they came here".
 Then Allah revived them. This is the fifth Niimat that Allah gave them.
  The Children of Israel were living in the Al-Taiyeh desert: (to be continued).
                                  oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:  
  (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In A Solat:
   (vii) To Utter Takbir At Each Moment Of Change: 
    It is Sunnah to utter Takbir = Allohu Akbar, whenever a movement is made, when standing up, or going down, raising up or sitting down except when raising from the Rukuu, we are to utter, "Sa-mi-'al-Lohu Li Man Ha-mi-dah" = Allah hears who praises and thanks Him. This is based on the Hadith reported from Ibnu Mas'ud who said, "I saw the Prophet s.a.w. uttered Takbir at every time (He s.a.w. goes) down and up, standing and sitting". (narrated by Ahmad, Nasa'i  and Tirmidzi who confirmed it and added that this was also being done by all the companions of the Prophet s.a.w. including Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali and others r.a. This also being done by the Tabi'in, and all the Fuqoha and the Ulama).
Abu Bakar ibnu Abdur-Rohman bin Harith who heard it from Abu Huroiroh r.a., which was narrated by Ahmad, Bukhori, Muslim and Abu Daud, and from 'Ikrimah which was narrated by Ahmad and Bukhori had reported the same.
It is Sunnah that the Takbir is uttered when a movement is made.

 أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
 بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text.
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(55) وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَمُوسَى لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى نَرَى اللهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ اُلصَّعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ
وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَمُوسَى لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ = "Wa Idz Qul Tum Ya~ Mu~sa~ Lan~Nuu-mi-na La Ka",  "Wa Idz" = And when, "Qul" = say, "Tum" = they, "Ya~ Mu~sa~" = O Moses, "Lan" = shall not, "Nuu-mi-ma" = we believe, "La Ka" = in you,
حََتَّى نَرَى اللهَ جَهْرَةً = "Hat-ta~ Na-rol-Loha Jah-ro-tan",  "Hat-ta~" = until, "Na-ro~" = we see, "Al-Loha" = Allah, "Jah-ro-tan" = plainly,
فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ اُلصَّعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ = "Fa A-kho-dzat Ku-mush-SHo~'i-qo-tu Wa Ant~tum Tanzh~ZHu-ru~~n".  "Fa" = then, "A-kho-dzat" = to punish, "Ku-mu" = all of you, "ash-SHo~'i-qo-tu" = the thunderbolt, "Wa Ant~tun" = and all of you, "Tanzh~zhu-ru~na" = all of you saw.
"Wa Idz Qul Tum Ya~ Mu~sa~ Lan~Nuu-mi-na La Ka Hat-ta~ Na-rol-Loha Jah-ro-tanf~Fa A-kho-dzat Ku-mush-SHo~'i-qo-tu Wa Ant~tum Tanzh~ZHu-ru~~n". = And (remember) when you all said, "O Moses! We shall not believe in you before we see Allah plainly". Thence, the thunderbolt (was sent to) punish all of you. And all of you did see (the thunderbolt).
(56) ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَكُم مِّنم بَعْدِ مَوْتِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ = "THum~ma Ba-'ath Na~ Kum~Mim~Baa-di Maw-ti Kum La-'al-la-kum Tasy-ku-ru~~n".  "THum~ma" = Then, "Ba-'ath" = resurrect, revive, "Na~" = We, "Kum" = all of you, "Min" = from, "Baa-di" = after,  "Maw-ti" = death, "Kum" = your, "La-'al-la-kum" = perhaps, so that all of you, "Tasy-ku-ru~na" = you all give thanks.
"THum~ma Ba-'ath Na~ Kum~Mim~Baa-di Maw-ti Kum La-'al-la-kum Tasy-ku~ru~~n". = Then, We/Allah revived all of you after you have all died, so that you all give thanks.
(Prophet Moses a.s. in obeying Allah's commandment, asked his 12,000 loyal followers to kill all others who had worshipped the calf. Those 12,000 were of good people and they were to kill people whom they know, whom they love, such as their fathers, or mothers or brothers or sisters or friends or neighbours. It was a very difficult task. So, Allah covered them all with thick cloud, and the killing began from morning till dusk. Many lives were lost, it was said, it amounted about 70,000 lives. When the cloud was cleared, Prophet Moses a.s. saw there were so many dead, he broke down and wept. Then Allah said, "Will you not be happy and be consent that all those who killed and all those who were killed will be put into the Paradise. The deads are martyrs, and those who are still alive, be pardoned." That had made Prophet Moses a.s. relieved and happy and he a.s. was thankful to Allah.
    Then Allah commanded Prophet Moses a.s. to bring seventy selected good persons to Mount Sinai to beg Allah for forgiveness for worshipping the calf. (to be continued).
                                   oooo000oooo   
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In A Solat:
  (vi) To Recite Verses Of The Quran After The Fatihah:
  Reciting Verses When Following The Imam:
In the beginning, solat was not valid without reciting surah Al-Fatihah in every Rokaat in a solat Fardhu or in a solat Sunnah, as was forwarded in "The Fardhu To Be Performed In The Solat".
But the obligation to recite It by the Maamum/follower/s is done away in a solat where verses of the Quran are recited loudly by the Imam, and the Maamum is/are Wajib/obligatory to keep quiet and listen to the Imam's recitals, as commanded by Allah s.w.t. in surah 7 Al-Aarof, verse 204, "When the (verses of) Quran are recited, listen to It and give ear/pay heed, so that all of you gain Rohmat/Clemency.". And the Hadith narrated by Muslim, that the Prophet s.a.w. said, " When the Imam utters Takbir/Allohu Akbar, all of you must also utter Takbir, and when he recites Quran, all of you must keep silent and give ear/pay heed".
When performing solat where the Imam recites the Quran softly, it is Wajib for the Maamum himself to recite Quran softly.
 (vii) To Utter Takbir At Each Moment Of Change: (to be continued).
Until we meet in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
