What is “salat”?

As we saw in the previous chapter, the common noun “islam” is not the meaningless proper name of a religion. It is an action and life direction of peacemaking that one must take.

It is not some rituals that people can perform while not supporting peace and instead supporting corruption and bloodshed. Unfortunately, by turning “islam” into a meaningless proper name, the majority of people became incapable of distinguishing between the simplest of meanings.

For example, while “islam” means peacemaking, the word “taslim” means submission. Many people utter the words “sala allah alayh wa sallam” every time the prophet is mentioned because they believe that this is what the god told them to do in 3356. Here are some of the most widely used English translations of 3356

033.056 YUSUFALI Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect (salimu taslima).

PICKTHAL Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation (salimu taslima).

SHAKIR Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation (salimu taslima).
As we can see, the word “taslim” in 3356 is translated as salutation. However, by doing a simple search in the Quran, everyone can easily find the same exact word used in 465 to clearly mean “submission” not “salutation”.

004.065 YUSUFALI But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction (yosalimu taslima).

PICKTHAL But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission (yosalimu taslima).

SHAKIR But no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not find any straitness in their hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entire submission (yosalimu taslima)The search will also find the same exact word “taslim” in Chapter 33 itself just a few pages earlier in 3322

YUSUFALI When the Believers saw the Confederate forces, they said "This is what Allah and his Messenger had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger told us what was true." And it only added to their faith and their zeal in obedience(taslima).

PICKTHAL And when the true believers saw the clans, they said This is that which Allah and His messenger promised us. Allah and His messenger are true. It did but confirm them in their faith and resignation (taslima).

SHAKIR And when the believers saw the allies, they said This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us, and Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth; and it only increased them in faith and submission (taslima).
It is obvious that the word “taslim” in the Quran is used to mean “submission” and not “salutation”.

In fact, the same complete formula “submit with full submission” used in 465 is the one used in 3356. This is why 3356 accurately doesn’t say that the god and the controllers “submit with full submission/yusalimu taslima” and this clause only applies to “O you who believe”.

This is due to the obvious fact that the one and only god doesn’t submit to anyone. So, according to 3356, when people say “sala allah alayh wa salam” they are ignorantly saying that the god submits (the god be most exalted). So billions of people, including so-called scholars, have been mindlessly uttering what is essentially a gross blasphemy against the god! What the believers were told in 3356 is to do the same thing that the god did and in addition submit completely.

The god certainly didn’t go around repeating “salla allah alayh” whenever the prophet’s name was mentioned. Similarly, the prophet didn’t understand the same command in 9103 to mean going around parroting “salla allah alayh” whenever the name of any of those who repented was mentioned. In fact, all the translators of 9103 agreed and thought that it would be ridiculous for the prophet to go around parroting “salla allah alayh” every time someone’s name is mentioned. So they translated the order “salli alayhim” as “pray for them” or “pray on their behalf”.

009.103 YUSUFALI Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.

PICKTHAL Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! thy prayer is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.

SHAKIR Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse them and purify them thereby, and pray for them; surely your prayer is a relief to them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

Of course when it came to 3356, the translators faced a dilemma since they quickly realized that it would be absurd for the god to “pray for the prophet” or “pray on his behalf”. So they translated the same exact command in 9103 as “send blessings on the prophet” or “ask/call for blessings on the prophet” instead of “pray for the prophet” or “pray on his behalf”.

033.056 YUSUFALI Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.

PICKTHAL Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.

SHAKIR Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation. The translators were forced to be inconsistent due to their lack of understanding of the term “salat”. Not only have they created logical inconsistencies between 3356 and 9103 but they have also created internal inconsistencies in 3356.

For example, Pickthal and Shakir realized that Yusufali made a huge blunder when he said “send your blessings on him” since humans do not inherently have “blessings” that they can distribute and can only ask the god for his blessing. So Pickthal and Shakir translated the command as “ask/call for blessings on him”. However, by doing so, they created another inconsistency since the action the believers are commanded to do is literally the same exact action the god does.

Certainly, the god doesn’t “ask/call for blessings”. The translators provided the key to understanding the concept of “salat” from the Quran a few passages earlier in 3343. The key is not in their translation of the action of “salat” but is in the effect of this action
