80 percent of the Quran talks about salah / salat. In short, salat is to help poor people financially or in any way which is possible for you, doing good for humanity, staying away from bad deeds, doing good deeds, being upright honest, righteous, just etc.etc.

Yes... _"80 percent of the Quran talks about salah / salat. In short, salat is to help poor people financially or in any way which is possible for you, doing good for humanity, staying away from bad deeds, doing good deeds, being upright honest, righteous, just etc.etc."_ 👍 Now... ask yourself, *"Where did you get all of that from?"* a.) from traditions handed down from your ancestors? or b.) the verses of the Quran? So... put 2 & 2 together... and voila... there you have it! That is the Quranic SALAH/SALAT! peace to the world.

Salat has no any relation with Five daily Rituals which were imported from Zoroastrians by Pseudo Persian Hadith Imams during the era of Abbasid Caliphs

@@shukriyusof2104 They differed and split into two classes: one who accepted Divine Laws and others who rejected them. Mark again! If Allah had not bestowed freedom of the will upon human beings they would not have differed or waged wars amongst themselves. This is also His Law and Allah does whatever He wills. Both these ways are confined to ANBIYA . As far as other ordinary human beings are concerned, a Rasool (Messenger) is sent to them. The Rasool conveys to them the Divine Revelation bestowed by Allah's command. (No man other than a Nabi can be in communication with Allah directly.) This arrangement is made by the verily highly exalted Allah, Who takes all decisions rationally. No non-nabi can know the reality and nature of the phenomenon of wahi. Therefore, we cannot say how was it instilled in nabi’s heart. How did Gabriel deliver it or what was the nature of the conversation (as was the case of Moses) As far as ordinary people are concerned, wahi reaches them through anbiya. People cannot communicate with God directly. After the end of nabuwwa, the only way to communicate with God is through the Holy Quran; i.e. when we read Quran, God communicates with us. This is because the Quran is the word of God. Other than through this way no one can communicate with God. Anyone who claims to do so is actually proclaiming nabuwwa (Prophethood). In Islamic tradition, Quran 42:51 serves as the basis of understanding for waḥy. "It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills". Tanzil (Arabic: تنزيل) "sending down", Inzal (Arabic: انزال) "bringing down", and nuzul (Arabic: نزول) "descending", and other words based on the triconsonantal Arabic root verb nazala (Arabic: نزل ) "to descend", refer to the Islamic belief in the descent of God's message from heaven to earth where it was revealed to ...

s.a. my view on Salat , Salat is an umbrella term , which is reading the Quran ( God takes a covenant from you ) and living it throughout your life thus establishing adherence to God and keeping your covenant with God.( serving God , calling only to God , asking help and forgiveness from God , obeying God's rules and staying within the boundries of God) . God's and his Angel's salat to us is God keeping his side of the covenant . ( helping believers , supporting believers in this world , keeping his promise in the hereafter for believers ) For me the best translation for Salat would be "adherence" . Maybe the best would be not to translate "Salat" in english translations and let the reader understand what it is contextually.

[@shukriyusof2104]

You are almost there, bro! You wrote, _"God's and his Angel's salat to us is God keeping his side of the covenant . ( helping believers , supporting believers in this world , keeping his promise in the hereafter for believers )"_ Now ask yourself, *How did mankind receive the Scriptures, the Torah, Injeel and the Quran from God?* WHO sent down the Scriptures? HOW was the Scriptures sent down? God sent down His Messages to mankind through His "Angels." So, what do you think? Is God _"keeping His side of the covenant"_ or, more accurately, God sent down His Covenants as Guidance, Mercy, Wisdom etc. for mankind? peace to the world.

people don't understand that the very first translation of the Quran was invented between 8th and 9th centuries about 4 generations after the death of Prophet (pbuh), in which Quranic language was taken different to the standard Arabic to define the Quran in their own meanings.

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۗؤُنَآ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِيْٓ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰۗؤُا ۭ اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِيْمُ الرَّشِيْدُ(سورة هود , آیت 87) They said to Shu’aib: “When you had asked us not to interfere in your obedience to Allah, We had thought that it meant only your worship of Allah. Now we see that it goes beyond that. Your Sal’at does not allow us to adhere to the religion of our ancestors, nor to use our wealth as we like.[*1] You act as though our ancestors were ignorant and you alone possess reason, and that you have a monopoly over sympathy for the poor people.” *1- This is the difference between religion (mazhab) and deen.

Ruku means to accept in Arabic and Sajdah means to do, carry out in Arabic . In Persian, ruku means to bow to kneel and Sajdah means to put your head on ground . Since the Quran was revealed in Arabic language so take the Arabic language meanings not the Persian language

[@abdar-rahman6965]

Sajadah = Humble to 22:18, 55:6

[@salihthemonotheist6700]

Salaah just means commitment

[@thetru123th]

Allah's ibadat means to serve Him not to worship Him. Serving Allah is to help poor people ( Muslims and non Muslims ) financially or in any way which is possible for you regularly, doing good for humanity. Islam / Quran is secular, it has NO rituals, just God's laws which are secular not religious

[@shukriyusof2104]

Yes... and most importantly... there is absolutely NOTHING _"spiritual"_ about Islam, the True Islam. peace to the world.

Wa aqeemus salata wa tuz zakata, salat and zakat are together in the Ayat, so you read ritual prayers 5 times a day but do you give zakat 5 times a day too ??? No you don't, you give zakat once a year which is unquranic method and also you're not doing salah of the Quran, you're reading parsi namaz/ Hindu namaskara. I'm not saying that you should give zakat 5 times a day, lol. In short, whenever you make money / profit / income etc., give the surplus / extra amount out of it to the poor

[@shukriyusof2104]

But, on the other hand... could it be that the Quranic ZAKAT has absolutely nothing to do with the Mullas, or anything to do with MONEY? peace to the world.

[@abdar-rahman6965]

Right

[@thetru123th]

Since the Quran was revealed in Arabic language so take the Arabic language meanings not the Persian language

[@shukriyusof2104]

Would that be: a.) the Arabic language post 7th century b.) the Arabic language of the Quran? Please bear in mind that the Quran is its own dictionary... do you think the One True God would need the help/assistance of men, and women too, to _"help"_ spread His Ad-Deen? peace to the world.

How many times a day do Zoroastrians pray? The sacred fire must be kept burning continually and has to be fed at least five times a day. Prayers also are recited five times a day
