Salat confusion
-
Peace
IF there is confusion then why it is so ??Regards
Salam
Because we are trying to breakaway from traditionalism and follow the Quran alone but everyone here has their own understanding of what salat is. Some of us, including myself, are newbies so we haven't studied the Quran and don't know where to start and would appreciate some help.
At the mo, I am still praying traditionally except I don't use the prophet Mohammed's name, I say the God-alone shahada instead of the tashahud and I only read al-fatiha as I do not know any other surahs that can be read to God (I mean reading "Lo! We have given thee Abundance" to God seems strange) -

If in the presence of Quran which is
-easy
-detailed
-True
,you cannot get the actual Salaat way ,consult some expert. Eat two -three almonds daily. Massage of almond oil on the head will also help.

Dear Brother
I think they affect the brain. It is my personal experience. Someone told me and I used them.
RegardsSalam Q student
I'm a sister
I would consult an expert if I knew one. A scholar would tell me to pray traditionally and add Prophet Mohammed's name to my salat. And possibly tell me off for asking a stupid question and that I should eat 3 dates so that God will forgive me laugh
The reason why I am confused is because some people here believe that prayer is traditional but without Prophet Mohammed's name (which is how I am doing it now after years of saying the Prophet's name in the tashahud), some say it doesn't involve bowing/prostrating physically, some say you should bow and prostrate physically but anytime during the salat. The third makes more sense to me as I find it hard seeing salat as a ritual that everyone does the same. It should be personal. But at the same time how can we do congregational salat if everyone is doing it their own way?
By the way, my brain is fine thank you very much
God bless

I am sorry I did not know that you are a sister. Secondly your questions are a bit natural. I myself in that learning category. So both of us ,brother and sister are in the same boat. May Allah help both of us to understand the Quran.
Once more I am sorry

Peace Wakas,
Probably more confused than before. But God willing, I'll get there. I'm leaning more and more away from the traditional concept that's for sure.
Thanks for asking.
Peace,
have you read this, http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9602248.0, it might help you!

I thought it was 5 but now i think it is 3 so im just confused about the timings now! also where the qiblah is
???Yeah me too, I eventually came to three. I thank God too because when I believed it was 5 I spent a lot of time feeling bad that I wasn't doing five. Not that I always do the three either tempt But it's more doable for me and it seems to be backed by Quran.
I have felt that confusion re Salat too because there are so many interpretations. I have scoured the forum and read many articles. In the end I did just try and turn to Al Quran and make my own decision.
