First of all you are taking hadith as your source of evidence. If this is the case then you really need to look at all the hadith and start sorting out what is accepted and what is rejected. If you do this then you would have ignored the following

I believe we will have too look deeper into the word salaat to get its true meaning. I believe some on this sight to be very close to concluding that and may Allah help them in their studies of the Quran to enlighten us with the truth.

Not so simple than what you say.
We already know through ahadith and history that for example 'adhan' is something that have been developed and improved. The 'adhan' is not the same as in 7th AC (See. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADHAN AND IQAMA OF THE SALAT IN EARLY ISLAM from IKA Howard)
But, for the units of prayers there is no such evidences, and the numbering is stable from 7th AC, first because no history testimonies claiming a change in it, and second it comes from 2 differents and basically opposite sources one is the family of the Prophet and the second is the Companions of the Prophet.
Even if this numbering is not in the Quran, you can't disqualified it so easily because its constancy through centuries is a proof of its validity and authenticity.
I am not somebody who relies on ahadith but in this case I am speechless ! hmm
Are you sure 100% to say that the numbering is stable? Yeh, supposed sources of the prophet?s family and companions of the prophet. Can you at least find the ?hadith/s? that indicates the number of ruku, because I didn?t find it, I didn?t look in shia traditions but I did try searching sunni ones.
Considering you seem to know, do share.
If adhan morphed why not ?salat??

Agree to that Sis. I was thinking the other day about salat and adhan, if all messengers and prophets before Muhammad established salat and were Muslims, then did they do the adhan, bearing witness that Muhammad was the messenger of Allah, when he wasn't even born?
We just can't assume that because most Sunnis and Shias do it the same way, then it will be correct. All traditional Muslims, that I know of, claim that using hadiths will explain how to salaat as performed by Muhammad... but I just can't imagine that Muhammad would read 'Shalawat Nabi' or salute himself in the end of his salaat/prayer.
Just feel like venting...

NP vent as you like,
Well you don't find "adhan" in the Quran..
true we could assume if people do it the same way it's correct but that would be unwise. in actual fact shias do it differently. yeh the salawat of the nabi makes you think hmm did he speak in prayer in 3rd person about himself? besides we know salat is for God only and a dhikr (2014, 2945)

Well you don't find "adhan" in the Quran..
I take that back!
Was showing a sister a Quran concordance and explaining how useful it is when looking up particular topics and happened to cross "adhan" (waathanun, 93). however we will not find the commonly attribute "adhan" the sunni and shia's use in relation to prayer.

Yeah, just like salaat and many other things in the Qur'an, the meaning of the word adhan has been changed to something that is no more than lip-service.

http//www.sunnah.org/msaec/articles/hadith_of_lawlaak.htmOMG, that article made me speechless. If not because of Muhammad, we wouldn't be created? Wow, just wow... I don't know what to say... they have turned Muhammad to an object of worship, just like the Christians have done .
?If it were not for the blessing and the generosity of the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), then the whole world would not have existed and apart from Allah, nothing would exist.
I guess I can say it's the Sunni way of saying that Muhammad is the Son of God s

No quranic reference to this claim.
PEACE
Well some say it came from the Jews and some say from the Persians. There are many similarities. Some say its Muhammedan. Anyways the Quran tells us
2.177. It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah.fearing.
So if the Quran did not give an importance to a Qibla(if we assume thats what its talking about), why should we assume it would give significance to Rika'as?
You know like
Its righteousness that you pray two rika'as or four but it is righteousness......

I keep finding stuff like that. I found this song on You Tube and thought it was all to God but am not so sure that it might not be to Muhammed. I would love for any interpretations of the Arabic.

Seems to be about the prophet, the arabic writing is just calligraphy of words relating to what he is saying. then he just sends praises to the prophet but refers to him as mustapha not mohammed..
i like the arabic calligraphy effect, looks funky.

Since rakats or units of salah are not mentioned in the Quran, then it is simply not necessary to follow them as a law. Having said that, if someone still wants to follow the rakats, there is no harm or problem in it per se. The Quran tells us that the mandatory part of salah is qayam, rukooh and sujood and that the sole purpose of salah is the rememberance (dhikr) of Allah.
The more i read and research on salah in the Quran, the more it appears that it is a very simple and straightfoward process. All Allah wants us to do is to take time out at specified intervals during a given 24/7 period so that while are busy in our worldly life, we give ourselves a moment of pause to remember, think and reflect upon our creator that to him we belong, we worship and to him we return.
