    MOST people believe (al-sol-laa-ta) means 'the ritual prayer'.
    6116 And if you obey MOST people on earth, they will divert you from the god's path. They follow only conjecture; they only guess.

    I believe (al-sol-laa-ta) means 'the enjoinment' (something that is enjoined). For example, the god has enjoined upon humanity that we uphold peacefulness as our way of life...
    319 Surely the way of life according to the god is peacefulness...
    ...thus the enjoinment in the context is to lead a peaceful way of life.

    The following verse clearly shows that sol-laa-ta is NOT a ritual prayer. Looking at the context we can easily see that sol-laa-ta is something that is enjoined...
    2441 Don't you realize that EVERYTHING in the heavens and the earth, EVEN THE BIRDS in formation, glorifies the god? EACH KNOWS IT'S SOL-LAA-TA and its glorification. The god is fully aware of everything they do.

    The god says EVERYTHING, EVEN THE BIRDS know it's sol-laa-ta. If sol-laa-ta means ritual prayer then how do birds ritually pray? How do lions, tigers and bears perform their ritual prayer? Remember the god said EVERYTHING so how do subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) do their ritual prayer? How does a tree ritually pray? How about a blade of grass, a car, a house, a computer, a rock? Obviously these things do not know a ritual prayer, that would be absurd. But surely the god has enjoined upon everything in the universe a purpose/function/obligation, thus everything knows it's enjoinment (whatever the god has enjoined upon it).

    The story of messenger Shu'ayb also confirms that sol-laa-ta is an enjoinment, NOT a ritual prayer...
    1184-87 And to Midyan was their brother Shu'ayb, he said "My people, serve the god, you have no god besides it, and do not give short in the measure and weight. I see you in prosperity, and I fear for you the retribution of a period of time that is surrounding. And my people, give full measure and weight with justice, and do not hold back from the people what is theirs, and do not roam the land corrupting. What will remain for you with the god is far better if you trust. And I am not a guardian over you." They said "O Shu'ayb, DOES YOUR SOL-LAA-TA ORDER YOU that we leave what our fathers served, or that we do not do with our money as we please? You are the compassionate, the sane!"
    If sol-laa-ta means ritual prayer then how does Shu'ayb's ritual prayer order him to tell people to serve the god alone, trade equitably, not corrupt the land etc.? I don't see how a ritual prayer can order someone to do anything. Perhaps his ritual prayer was sign language meaning, "go to a transgressing nation and tell them to behave." The only way to make sense of the context is if sol-laa-ta means something that was enjoined (enjoinment). The god commanded Shu'ayb to go to the transgressing nation and instruct them of a better way of life, thus this commandment given to Shu'ayb became his enjoinment...
    1187 They said "O Shu'ayb, DOES YOUR ENJOINMENT (whatever the god has enjoined upon you) ORDER YOU that we leave what our fathers served, or that we do not do with our money as we please? You are the compassionate, the sane!"

    Here is one last reference that shows sol-laa-ta means enjoinment...
    1071-7 Do you notice who is rejecting with the way of life? It is the one who mistreats the orphan, and does not encourage the feeding of the poor. Therefore woe to the enjoiners (people who enjoin others to do good works) who are heedless of their enjoinment (the good works that the god enjoined upon them to fulfill).

    Why would the god say, "woe to the praying people who are heedless of their ritual prayer," when the context is talking about helping orphans and feeding the poor? Ritual prayers have NOTHING to do with helping orphans and feeding the poor. The good deeds mentioned in the context are what the god has enjoined upon humanity to fulfill, and these good deeds have EVERYTHING to do with enjoiners (mu-sol-een) who are supposed to uphold their enjoinment (sol-laa-ta).

            1071 Do you notice who is denying with the obligation?
            1072 Therefore such who MISTREATS THE ORPHANS...
            1073 ...and DOESN'T ENCOURAGE THE FEEDING OF THE POOR...
            1074 ...then woe to the MU-SOL-EEN...
            1075 ...who are heedless of their SOL-LAA-TA.

            If MU-SOL-EEN means 'praying people' and SOL-LAA-TA means 'ritual prayer' then why would the god say, "woe to the praying people who are heedless of their ritual prayer," when the context is talking about helping orphans and feeding the poor? Ritual prayers have NOTHING to do with helping orphans and feeding the poor.

            Better translation...
            1074 ...then woe to the PEOPLE WHO ENJOIN OTHERS (to help orphans and feed the poor)...
            1075 ...who are heedless of their GOOD WORKS ENJOINED UPON THEM (like helping orphans and feeding the poor).

            Literal translation...
            1074 ...then woe to the ENJOINERS...
            1075 ...who are heedless of their ENJOINMENT.

            Those who still insist on blinding following their forefathers "salat = ritual prayer" despite the clear warning in 2170-171 then I ask...

            1. How does EVERYTHING, INCLUDING BIRDS know it's RITUAL PRAYER according to 2441?
            2. How does a RITUAL PRAYER order/instruct messenger Shu'ayb to tell people to serve the god alone, trade equitably and not corrupt the land according to 1184-87?
            3. Why would the god say, "woe to the praying people who are heedless of their ritual prayer," when the context of 1071-5 is talking about helping orphans and feeding the poor?

            It's time the smartest species on Earth give up their worthless rock worshiping based on their intentionally corrupted meaning of the Arabic word (al-sol-laa-ta)

                  3 - is washing face, hands and feet and wiping our heads everytime we have to "fulfill the enjoinement" mandatory for us because it helps us being better "enjoiners" ??

                  4 - are the "physical positions" like standing (&#1605 , bowing (&#1593 and prosternating (&#1583 , parts of any "enjoining" processes ??

                  5 - what kind of "enjoinement" do we have to do not "at loud" and not "whispering", but prefered in a middle tone ???

                  I am a Quran Aloner and i believe "salat" IS a ritual prayer.

                    Those who still insist on blinding following their forefathers "salat = ritual prayer" despite the clear warning in 2170-171 then I ask...

                    It's time the smartest species on Earth give up their worthless rock worshiping based on their intentionally corrupted meaning of the Arabic word (al-sol-laa-ta)

                    I most certainly agree with you. 1959 is also important Then generations came after them who lost salaat, and followed their desires. They will find their consequences.

                      No, I cannot because I do not believe it means 'enjoinment'. You should read carefully next time before you respond.

                      3 - is washing face, hands and feet and wiping our heads everytime we have to "fulfill the enjoinement" mandatory for us because it helps us being better "enjoiners" ??

                      I am a Quran Aloner and i believe "salat" IS a ritual prayer.

                      I submit to Allah. I am a believer, a muslim with faith in his heart. I believe 'salat' is prayer prescribed to us at timed ordinances.

                        Peace be upon you,

                        Salaat is not enjoinment, but the idea of connection, or tying back (re-ligion, re-connecting) is implied in the word.

                        Salaat deals with programming of the mind/subconcious. The things we do in life, how we RESPOND to the events and challenges of life, are automatic responses based on a PROGRAM. This PROGRAM is pre programmed in animals and plants and in the LOWER PART of man. However Man is the only being with Free Will, and therefore has been entrusted to Program Itself and to GUARD the PROGRAM from others who are able to reprogram it.

                        The mind/subconcious goes through different states of receptivity throughout the day and night...when we are daydreaming, or "spaced-out", or in a period of high emotionality, then we are very receptive to ideas/thoughts/images, etc. This is how we learn and reprogram our selves. This is why in a culture where there is hard core gangster hip hop, gangster movies, and violent video games....we get violent people. That which we see and hear constantly wil one day catch us in this MIDDLE STATE (between wake and sleep) of high receptivity and PROGRAM US. That is why we are told woe to the programmers who are heedless of thier programming. People dont understand how the process of learning/programming takes place.

                        I will be glad to answer any questions, go over any verse, or debate any objection.

                        Peace
