Recitation 191

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 the Religion of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(37) فَتَلَقَّى~ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِى كَلِمَتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ ج إِنَّهُو هَوَ اُلتَّوَّابُ اُلرَّحِيمُ
فَتَلَقَّى~ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِى كَلِمَتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ = "Fa Ta-laq=qo~~ (a Madd Jaiz Munfashil/permissible disjoin = 4 harakah) A~da-mu Mir-(an Idghom Bi La~ Ghunnah/assimilation without a nasal sound) Rob-bi Hi~ (a Madd Shilah Qoshiroh/short connecting = 2 harakah), Ka-li-ma~tinf~(an Ikh-faa Haqiqi/hiding the نْ under the letter فَ with a humming nasal sound to two harakah) Fa Ta~ba 'A-lai~h (a Madd 'Aridh Lis-Sukun/transitory to cease = 4 harakah). "Fa" = Then, "Ta-laq-qo~" = to receive, "A~da-mu" = Adam, "Min" = from, "Rob-bi" = Lord, "Hi" = his, "Ka-li-ma~tin" = words, "Fa" = then, "Ta~ba" = to relent, " 'A-lai" = upon, "Hi" = him.
"Fa Ta-laq-qo~ A~da-mu Mir-Rob-bi Hi~ Ka-li-ma~tinf~Fa Ta~ba 'A-lai~h". = Then Adam a.s. received some words/entreaties from his Lord ( that is, as in surah 7 Al-Aarof, verse 23, when Adam a.s. and Eve were remorseful for their wrong in disobeying Allah, He/Allah  taught Adam, through Achangle Gabriel a.s. these words : "Rob-ba Na~ ZHo-lam Na~ Anf-fu-sa Na~ Wa Il-Lam Tagh-fir La Na~ Wa Tar-ham Na~ La Na Ku~ Nan~Na~ Mi-nal-KHo~si-ri~n." = Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and do not have mercy on us, surely, we are of the losers."), thence, He/Allah relented him a.s. [And of course Eve too. But Iblis/the Devil felt no remorse. He was selfish, self-important and arrogant, he did not ask Allah for forgiveness but, instead, asked to be reprieved so that he could have revenge on Adam a.s. and his descendant. (b) This verse  proves that Islam is not a splinter religion of Christianity as was and still is claimed by their priests. Adam a.s. was forgiven by Allah, and the Mankind after him a.s. does not carry his sin, but their own. Allah needs no person to be sacrificed or be crucified, to forgive. He/she needs only to have remorse, repent and ask for forgiveness directly to Allah, and not to any other human, and stop repeating the same mistake. This is what Allah tells us to do. And Allah does not do things in a mysterious way, He tells us in this Quran and through His Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. of what He has done.].
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
إِنَّهُو هُوَ اُلتَّوَّابُ اُلرَّحِيمُ = "In~na Hu~ Hu-wat-Taw-wa~bur-Ro-hi~~m".  "In~na" = Truly, "Hu~" = He, "Hu-wa" = He is, "At-Taw-wa~bu" = The Relenting, "Ar-Ro-hi~mu" = The Merciful.
"In~na Hu~ Hu-wat-Taw-wa~bur-Ro-hi~~m". = Truly, He/Allah  is the Most Relenting, the Most Merciful".
(38) (to be continued).
                                                =======*****======
Let us continue to see the narration about the Jinn:
  After a certain period of time, all the Jinn on the earth stopped performing their Religious Rites, and they turned to commit sins, and also started to fight and killing each other. Thus, Allah sent forth a Prophet a.s (among them), and with some of his a.s. followers did battle with the rogue Jinn. There were eight hundred Prophets a.s. sent during the eight hundred years to do battle with those rogue Jinn. After the eight hundred years, none of the 800 Prophets a.s during each of his a.s. time could defeat the rogue Jinn because they/the Jinn were too many and they multiplied very quickly too. Thence, Allah sent down Angels from the lowest heaven and they droved the rogue Jinn to a corner of the earth and they were gathered there.  (to be continued)
                               oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (ix) Making Salam:
    The First Salam (to the right) is A Fardhu And The Second (to the left) is A Sunnah:
   The Jumhur/multitude of the Ulama were/are of the opinion that the first Salam made (to the right) is Fardhu, while the second (to the left) is Sunnah. It was/is based on the narrations made by Aisyah, Salmah ibnu Akwa' and Sahl ibnu Sa'ad that the Prophet s.a.w. had made Salam only once. So were the Muhajirin/emigre = the Meccans Muslim who migrated with the Prophet s.a.w. to Medina, also made Salam only once (to the right).
We have looked into the things/movements which are Fardhu/ obligatory in a solat. Failing to perform one, will cause the solat be invalid/spoilt. However, when missed one movement/thing, say, when Iitidal, there was no Tomaaninah, like a spring, from Rukuu, Iitidal, and without Tomaaninah, go down straight to Sujud. And when remember that Iitidal was without Tomaaninah, must go back to the Rukuu, then Iitidal and make a Tomaaninah, then continue with the solat (because all movements after the Iitidal without a Tomaaninah are invalid), till making Salam.
   (B) The Sunnah/percept of the Prophet s.a.w. In A Solat: (to be continued).

ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continued to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of the Religion of Islam). Please refer to the text.
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(36) فَأَزَلَّهُمَا اُلشَيْطَنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ صلى وَقُلْنَا اُهْبِطُواْ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ صلى وَلَكُمْ فِى اُلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ
فَأَزَلَّهُمَا اُلشَّيْطَنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ = "Fa A-zal-la Hu-masy-SYai-to~nu 'An Ha~ Fa Akh-ro-ja Hu-ma~ Mim~Ma~ Ka~na~ Fi~~h", "Fa" = Then, "A-zal-la" = to cause to slip, "asy-SYai-to~nu" = the Satan, " 'An" = with, in, "Ha~" = her, it, "Fa" = then, "Akh-ro-ja" = to send out, emit, "Hu-ma~" = both of them, "Mim~Ma~" = from what, "Ka-na~" = to be, "Fi~ Hi" = in it,
"Fa A-zal-la Hu-masy-SYai-to~nu 'An Ha~ Fa Akh-ro-ja Hu-ma~ Mim~Ma~ Ka~na~ Fi~~h". = Then the Satan (the name given to Marij after he became a backslider, after disobeying Allah to bow to Adam a.s. when told to do so, are (i) Satan/a fastener, when he disturbs people, and (ii) Iblis/a fiend or wicked/Devil, when he does not disturb people) caused both of them to slip into it/violating Allah's commandment not to go near the "tree". Then, they both were sent out of their comfort and happy life they were in (the Paradise).
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَقُلْنَا اُهْبِطُواْ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ = "Wa Qul Nah-bi-tu~ Baa-dhu Kum Li Baa-dhin 'A-duw". "Wa" = and, "Qul" = said, "Na~" = We, "ih-bi-tu~" = descend, "Baa-dhu" = each of, "Kum" = you all, "Li" = to, "Baa-dhin" = the other, " 'A-duw-wun" = enemy.
"Wa Qul Nah-bi-tu~ Baa-dhu Kum Li Baa-dhin 'A-duw". = And We/Allah said, "Descend (all of you,  O Adam a.s., Eve, Iblis and snake to the earth. All of you will) be enemy to another.
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَلَكُمْ فِى اُلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ = "Wa La Kum Fil-Arr-dhi Mus-ta-qor-ruw~Wa Ma-ta~'un I-la~ Hi~~n". "Wa" = and, "La Kum" = for all of you, "Fi" = on, "al-Arr-dhi" = the earth, "Mus-ta-qor-run" = will be established, fixed, "Wa" = and, "Ma-ta~'un" = effects, goods, furnitures, "I-la~" = till, "Hi~nin" = time.
"Wa La Kum Fil-Arr-dhi Musta-qor-ruw~Wa Ma-ta~'un I-la~ Hi~~n". =  You will be staying/dwelling in there, on the earth. And all of you will be given furnitures, equipments, tools and so forth, until (your) time (of death).
[In surah 7 Al-Aarof, verse 12 - 18, Allah says, "(After Marij refused to bow to Adam a.s.) He/Allah said,"What prevented you (O Marij) from bowing when I commanded you to bow?" He/Marij said, "I am better than him/Adam. You created me of fire, while he, You created him of earth." Then Allah said, "Then go down from the Paradise. You should not show your arrogant here/in the Paradise. Be gone! In deed, you are of those degraded". He/Iblis/the Devil said, "Reprieve/delay me from my death till the Day of Resurrection/when all of the deads are rised from their graves to be judged". Allah said, "Truly, you are reprieved". Iblis said, "Because You have led me to astray, I shall and will sit (seducing) them/Adam a.s., his wife and his descendants from Your (True, Safe and) Straight Path. Then I shall come upon them from their front and from their behind and from their right sides and from their left sides. And You will not find most of them thankful (to You)". He/Allah said, "Be gone from there/the Paradise. (You are) degraded, banished (from My Blessings). All those (people) who follow you, truly and surely, I will fill the Fiery Hell with them (if they do not repent and ask for forgiveness before they die).]
(37) (to be continued).
                          ======****======
Let us continue to see the narration about the Jinn:
When Marij and his people went down to the earth and stayed there, they performed the religious rites that Allah asked them to perform. Marij performed the most. (My ustaz said, the traces of Marij's prostrations could be found all over the earth). Allah then rised him to a higher rank and asked him to ascend to the first/lowest heaven. And there he performed diligently and wholeheartedly that he was rised, one heaven after another until he reached the seventh heaven. (to be continued).
                           oooo000oooo
Let us now look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (ix) Making Salam: 
        Making Salam was emphasized by the Prophet s.a.w. as one of the Fardhu in solat and it is based on the Hadith from Ali r.a. that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "The key to solat is the ablution/Wudhuu, and its prohibition is the Takbir, and its break up is making Salam". (narrated by Ahmad, Asy-Syafiei, Abu Daud, Ibnu Majah, and Tirmidzi).
And from 'Amir ibnu Sa'ad, from his father who said, "I saw the Prophet s.a.w. made Salam (while turning his head) to his right side and then (made Salam and turned his head) to his left side, till the white of his cheeks could be seen". (narrated by Ahmad, Muslim, Nasa'i and Ibnu Majah).
And from Wail ibnu Hajar who said, "I solat with the Prophet s.a.w.  Then he s.a.w. made Salam (turning) to his right, saying, "As-Sala~mu 'Alaikum Wa Rohmatullohi Wa Baroka~tuh", and then to his left, saying, "As-Salamu 'Alaikum Wa Rohmatullohi Wa Baroka~tuh". (narrated by Abu Daud with an authentic Isnad).
We break solat with making Salam. Then we can do things that we usually do, such as talking, eating, drinking and so forth.
   The First Salam (to the right) Is A Fardhu, And The Second (to the left) Is A Sunnah: (to be continued).
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.

Then a soul which was created by Allah was put into his lifeless body, and then he a.s. lived on the 7th heaven. After the naming of things incident happened, and after receiving a bow from the Angels, one day, (as was told by Ibnu 'Abbas r.a. and other Ulama), he a.s. fell asleep. A piece of his left rib was taken from his body and it was wrapped with a piece of flesh. While he a.s. was still asleep, Allah created his wife, Siti Hawa/Eve from that of his left rib bone, a female with all the perfection of a woman for making Adam a.s. happy and tranquil. Then Allah married Eve to Adam a.s.). And We/Allah said, "O Adam! Reside in the Paradise with your wife. And eat whatever fruits in this Paradise that both of you so desire and be comfortable in it/the Paradise. However, do not go near this tree. (If you did) You would be those of the wrong doers." (Then, Adam a.s. and his wife/Eve entered into the Paradise and lived in there).
(36) (to be continued).
                                  ======***=====
Let us continue to see the narration about the Jinn:
 [It is believed that at that time the earth was still very hot after its separation from the heaven.] All places in the earth/world were full of the Jinn, that Allah commanded them to migrate to the lowest heaven and to do religious rites there. They stayed in the lower heaven and obeyed what Allah had ordered them to do.They stayed there for as long as Allah wanted them to stay. Then, one day,  they looked down at the earth and saw that the earth was very beautiful, full of green trees and blue water of the seas and of the oceans, and the animals, and the birds. They felt that they loved to stay on the earth. Then they begged Allah to allow them to go down to the earth. Allah allowed them to move to the earth with the condition that they still perform the religious rites that Allah had asked them to do and not to be disloyal to Allah. Then Marij and his poeple went down to the earth. (to be continued).
                                    oooo000oooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (viii) Reciting the Tasyahhud:
       (b) Another authentic Tasyahhud is that of Ibnu 'Abbas: "At-ta-hiy-ya~tul-Mu-ba~ro-ka~tush-SHo-la-wa~tut-Toy-yi-ba~tu Lil-La~h.  As-sa-la~mu 'A-lai Ka Ay-yu-han~Na-biy-yu Wa Roh-ma-tul-Lohi Wa Ba-ro-ka~tuh.

Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of the Religion of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(33) قَالَ يَآ ءَادَمُ أَمنبِئْهُم بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ صلى فَلَمَّآ أَمنبَأَهُم بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّى~أَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ اُلسَمَوَتِ وَاُلْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ
قَالَ يَآ ءَادَمُ أَمنبِئْهُم بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ = "Qo~la Ya~~ A~da-mu Am~bii Hum~Bi As-ma~~i Him". "Qo~la" = He said, "Ya~" = O, "A~da-mu" = Adam, "Am~bii" = tell, "Hum" = them, "Bi" = with, "As-ma~~i" = names, "Him" = their.
"Qo~la Ya~~ A~da-mu Am~bii Hum~Bi As-ma~~i Him". = (After the Angels had admitted that they did not know what those things were, Allah turned to Adam a.s.,) He/Allah said, "O Adam! Tell them/the Angels, their/the things' names". 
صلى = a Waqif Jaiz sign.
فَلَمَّآ أَمنبَأَهُم بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّى~أَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ اُلسَّمَوَتِ واُلْأَرْضِ = "Fa Lam~ma~~ Am~ba-a Hum~Bi As-ma~~i Him Qo~la  A-lam A Qul La Kum In~Ni~~ Aa-la-mu GHoi-bas-Sa-ma~-wa~ti Wal-Arr-dhi", "Fa" = then, "Lam~ma~" = after, "Am~ba-a" = naming, "Hum" = them, "Bi" = with, "As-ma~~i" = names, "Qo~la" = He said, "A-lam" did not, "A Qul" = I said, "La Kum" = to all of you, "In~Ni~" = that I, "Aa-la-mu" = know, "GHoi-ba" = invisible, "as-Sa-ma~wa~ti" = the heavens, "Wa" = and, "al-Arr-dhi" = the earth,
وَأَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ = "Wa Aa-la-mu Ma~ Tubb-du~na Wa Ma~ Kunt~Tum Tak-tu-mu~~n". "Wa Aa-la-mu" = and I know, "Ma~" = what, "Tubb-du~na" = you all reveal, "Wa Ma~" = and what, "Kun" = to be, "Tum" = you all, "Tak-tu-mu~na" = you all conceal/hide.
"Fa Lam~ma~~ Am~ba-a Hum~Bi As-ma~~i Him Qo~la A Lam A-qul-La Kum In~Ni~~ Aa-la-mu GHoi-bas-Sa-ma~wa~ti Wal-Arr-dhi Wa Aa-la-mu Ma~ Tubb-du~na Wa Ma~ Kunt~Tum Tak-tu-mu~~n". = Then after (Adam a.s. had finished) telling them/the Angels the names of all the things, He/Allah said, "Did I not tell all of you that I know of what are the invisible things in the heavens and in the earth, and I also know of what you all reveal and of those you all conceal/hide".
(34) وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَا~ئِكةِ اُسْجُدُواْ لِأَدَمَ فَسَجَدُواْ~إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى وَاُسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ اُلْكَفِرِينَ
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَآئِكَةِ اُسْجُدُواْ لِأَدَمَ = "Wa Idz Qul Na~ Lil-Ma=la~~i-ka-tis-ju-du~ Li A~da-ma", "Wa Idz" = And when, "Qul" = say, "Na~" = We, "Li" = to, "al-Ma-la~~i-ka-ti" = the Angels, "us-ju-du~" = bow, "Li" = to, "A~da-ma" = Adam

أَبَى وَاُسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ اُلْكَفِرِينَ = "A-ba~ Was-Tak-ba-ro Wa Ka~na Mi-nal-Ka~fi-ri~~n". "A-ba~" = refuse, "Wa" = and, "is-tak-ba-ro" = to be proud, haughty, "Wa Ka~na" = and become, "Mi-na" = from, of, "al-Ka~fi-ri~na" = the ungratefuls, the backsliders.
"Wa Idz Qul Na~ Lil-Ma-la~~i-ka-tis-judu~ La A~da-ma Fa Sa-ja-du~~ Il-la~~ Ibb-li~sa A-ba~ Was-tak-ba-ro Wa Ka~na Mi-nal-Ka~fi-ri~~n". = And when (the Angels had admitted that they were defeated by Adam a.s.,) We/Allah said to the Angels, "Bow to Adam". They bowed except Iblis/the Devil/Satan who refused (to bow) and he was haughty (to Adam). Thence, he/Iblis became an ungrateful creature and a backslider (sliding back into sin and error for refusing to obey Allah's commandment and was haughty to Adam a.s.).
(35) (to be continued).

                              ========***========
Let us look into the narration about the Jinn as told by Asy-Syaikh Nuruddin ibnu Ali Ar-Roni. I am permitted to report this narration to all.
  Allah says in surah 55 Ar-Rohman, verse 15, "And He/Allah created the Jinn of smokeless fire". The first Jinni created was a very huge in size and was named "Ma~rij". Then Allah created his mate called "Kho~rij". After having "fun", they were blessed with a child and was called Jin/Jinni. For every two days, Khorij gave birth to a child. And not long after that, the world, in the fields, and in all the dirty and filthy places, and in holes were full of the Jinn. Allah had made each one of them his/her own looks. They were taught by Allah a recitation to enable them to change their appearance to what ever looks or thing they wish to appear. (to be continued).
                                    oooo000oooo 
Let us continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (viii) Sitting Down After The Final Sujud And Reciting The Ta-syah-hud/salutation: After the final Sujud in the final Rokaat, raise and sit. We may sit on our both soles/heels, or sit on the left foot which is bent towards the right leg and the right foot is erected while its toes are on the floor,  pointed towards the Qiblat, or sit on the floor with the left foot is placed under the right leg and the right foot is erected with its toes pointing towards the Qiblat. (These sitting positions are Sunnah). The Fardhu is to sit and  recite the Ta-syah-hud.
  (a) The Most authentic Tasyahhud is that of Ibnu Mas'ud, who said, " The Prophet s.a.w said, recite: "At-Ta-hiy-ya~tu Lil-La~h. Wash-SHo-la-wa~tu Wat-Toy-yi-ba~tu Lil-Lah. As-Sa-la~mu 'A-lai Ka Ay-yu-han~Na-biy-yu Wa Roh-ma-tul-Lohi Wa Ba-ro-ka~tuh. As-Sa-la~mu 'A-lai Na~ Wa 'A-la~ 'I-ba~dil-Lahish-SHo~li-hi~n. 
Asy-ha-du Al-La~ I-la~ha Il-Lal-Loh. Wa-Asy-ha-du An~na Mu-ham~ma-dan 'Ab-du-hu~ Wa Ro-su~luh. (Then entreat any doa which you prefer)". = The salutation is to Allah and so are the prayer and all of the pleasant things. Peace be upon you O Prophet and may Allah have Mercy upon you and Blesses you. Peace be upon us and upon Righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there no other god except Allah. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and also His messenger. (Then recite a doa of our choosing)".
  (b) Another authentic Tasyahhud is that of Ibnu 'Abbas: (to be continued).

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Quran Lovers,
After watching last evening TV9 News about the Malaysian Chinese Muslim Association/MACMA and the RESTU Publications are going to publish a Chinese Quran translation, I was excited. I wish to congratulate them for their efforts. However, there was something which made my heart felt uneasy, and I have to say/write it out. The copy is beautifully created, but I saw the word الله in Chinese/Mandrin characters, is written as "A La~". "Allah" means The God, but A La~ means Is it not. I believe, if the word Allah were to be in Chinese characters, it should have another letter, "Hu", = "A La~ Hu". In China since more than fourteen centuries ago, when the first batch of Arab Muslim went to China and settled down, they did not, and now, still do not use Allah in Chinese characters, though, later, some used the words "An La~", they used and are still using the word, "Jen/chen Juu/chu" = True God. Thank you.

(narrated by Abu Daud and Tirmidzi who said, the Hadith is authentic and explained, "According to all people (of Ilmu Fiqh/Islamic Jurists), Sujud must follow with this Rule, the eyebrow and the tip of the nose be on the floor. And if only the eyebrows touch the floor and the nose does not, some people say it is all right. But some do not, they said, "It is not sufficient. The eyebrows and the nose must touch the floor."
[In the book "Bulu~ghul Maram", it is recorded that from Ibnu Buhainah said that When the Prophet s.a.w. solat and Sujud, he drew apart his arms that the white of his armpits could be seen. (It was/is agreed upon by all). (ii) From Baraa Ibnu Azib who said, "The Prophet s.a.w. said, " When you Sujud, place your both palms (on the floor) and lift up your elbows". (narrated by Muslim).

(iv) From Abu Huroiroh who said, "The Prophet s.a.w. said, "When anyone of you (from Iitidal to) Sujud, do not sit like the camel (placing the palms first before the knees), but he must place his knees first (to the floor) before his palms". (narrated by the Four).].

     The Length Of A Tomaaninah/pause: Thomaaninah is a pause or a rest for a while inorder to stablize the position of the part of the body moved, and its length of time is, as was ascertained by the Ulama, was estimated at least the time taken to recite a Tasbih, that is, "Sub-ha~nal-Loh".
  Parts Of Body Used In Sujud: They are the face, the two palms, the two knees and the soles of the both feet/the toes. It was received from 'Abbas ibnu Abdul Muttolib who said that he heard the Prophet s.a.w. said, "When a bondservant Sujud, his seven parts of body also Sujud, that is his face, his two palms, his two knees, and his soles of his feet/toes."

And must not hem/draw down the hair or cloth while Sujud (obstructing the forehead from touching the floor), that is, the eyebrows, the two (palms of ) the hands, the two knees and (the soles of) the two feet/toes."

(It was unanimously agreed by people of Hadith). And in another narration, he said, "I was commanded to Sujud on the seven parts of the body, and not to draw down/to line my hair or clothing (between the eyerbrows and the floor/ prayer mat), and nose, two hands, two knees and two soles of the feet.

Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of the Religion of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(29) هُوَ اُلَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى اُلْأَرضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اُسْتَوَى~ إِلَى اُلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَوَتٍ ج وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَئٍ عَلِيمٌ
هُوَ اُلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى اُلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اُسْتَوَى~إِلَى اُلسَّمَآءِ  = "Hu-wal-La-dzi~ KHo-la-qo La Kum~Ma~ Fil-Arr-dhi Ja-mi~'anth~THum~mas-ta-wa~~ I-las-Sa-ma~~i",  = "Hu-wa" = He, "al-La-dzi~" = who, "KHo-la-qo" = create, "La Kum" = for all of you, "Ma~" = what is, "Fi~" = at, on, in, "al-Arr-dhi" = the earth, "Ja-mi~'an" = entirely, "THum~ma" = then, "is-ta-wa~" = to stand erect, "I-la~" = to, "as-Sa-ma~~i" = the heaven, sky,
فَسَوَّىهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَوَتٍ = "Fa Saw-wa~hun~na Sabb-'a Sa-ma~wa~~t". "Fa" = then, "Saw-wa~" = make, "Hun~na" = them (f.), "Sabb-'a" = seven, "Sa-ma~wa~tin" = heavens.
"Hu-wal-La-dzi~ KHo-la-qo La Kum~Ma~ Fil-Arr-dhi Ja-mi~'anth~THum~mas-ta-wa~~ I-las-Sa-ma~~i Fa Saw-wa~ Hun~na Sabb-'a Sa-ma~wa~~t". = (It was) He/Allah who created for all of you (O Mankind) all things that are on/in the earth. Then He (deliberatedly/purposely) stood erect towards the sky and then made/fashioned it into seven heavens. (Allah had created two types of worlds, the visible world and the invisible world. The visible  or the physical world is,  all those that can be detected by our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. They are all around us in this world, on this earth, and in the earth and those which are above the earth and are under the lowest heaven. And they were created for us.. [The blue sky that we see is not the lowest heaven. It is the boundary between our physical world and the invisible world, the heavens and their contents]. And the invisible world is those that are undetectible by some of our senses especially our sight. They are the soul, the air, the heavens, the Angels, the Jinn and so forth).
ج = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَئٍ عَلِيمٌ = "Wa Hu-wa Bi Kul-li SYai-in 'A-li~~m". "Wa" = and, "Hu-wa" = He, "Bi" = with, "Kul-li" = all, entirely, "SYai-in" = things, " 'A-li~mun" = knowing.
"Wa Hu-wa Bi Kul-li SYai-in 'A-li~~m" = And He/Allah knows all things.
(30) (to be continued).
[Verses 28 to 39 contain informations about the beginning of time, the creation of the earth and the seven heavens, the creation of Mankind, the enmity between the Jinni/the devil and Mankind/Adam a.s. and the birth of the Religion of Islam.].
                                     oooo000oooo
Let us now look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (vii) Suju~d/prostration:
     Sujud/prostration is performed by kneeling of both knees with both palms of both hands, and the soles of the toes of both feet, and the face be placed onto the floor. Sujud is a Fardhu/obligatory in solat as commanded by Allah in surah 22 Al-Hajj verse 77, as was mentioned in (v) Rukuu. And in the Hadith reported in by Abu Huroiroh about a man who performed solat before the Prophet s.a.w. incorrectly: The Prophet s.a.w. added that, "Then Sujud with a Tomaaninah/pause. Then raise and sit with Tomaaninah. Then Sujud again (for the second time) with Tomaaninah". Thus, the first Sujud with Tomaaninah, and then raise and sit with Tomaaninah, and then Sujud once again with Tomaaninah are Fardhu/obligation to be performed in a roka'at/bowing in solat, be it a solat Fardhu or a solat Sunnah.
  After Sujud the second time with Tomaaninah, raise. 
  The movements from Standing upright and utter the Takbir, then recite the Fatihah, then Rukuu, then Iitidal, then Sujud, then Sit, then Sujud the second time, and then Raise is called one Roka'at/bowing.

 The Length Of A Tomaaninah/pause: (to be continued).
