    Salaams satan hates,
    Read this ayatsee if your quot the deen has been evolving is justified.Thanks.

    And do they do the ritual or anything like it in judaesm ,or cristianity???are their informations in their books regarding the ritual?
    quote]

    pratices of submission (salat, fasting, etc) started with Abrham. God perfected the religion meaning not all believers. There are article written about this and books. I once read a article describe how the term salat can be link to jews prayer.

    The actual movements done in salat were done before the koran by jews. http//www.submission.org/jews.html

    Plus there is tons of evidene in GOD previous scripture of a ritual prayer done several times a day by GOD messengers. DO must who deny ritual prayer deny all GOD scriptures.

    He has ordained for you the same religion which he ordained for Noah and that which we inspired to you and that which we ordained for Abraham and Moses and Jesus that you establish religion and not be devided in it .........

    The religion mention here is submission. Relgion is diffrent from religious practices. Fasting started with Abrham. So techinically, messengers and believers bfore Abeham DIDNOT fast. Do that mean they followed a different religion. NO. GOD prefected our religion, HE didnt start a new one.

          Sorry again,
          the world has gotten the quranic islam through other means then the quran - i believe,that is why they are forging ahead even to outerspace and why they allways seem to have the upper hand.

          The westerners (majority not all),and the easterners(the japs plus some other countries are following in persuit) , the israelies,the americans.

          I mean most of the people living in those countries.

          The traditionalist who follow immams and tha falsified , quran will allways dwell third class - believe it!

          Bye.and thanks for that.

            peace, SHM

            ok so let me get this straight, there is little or no proof from the Quran that solaa is a ritual prayer, solaa doesnt even mean ritual prayer but link, connection, etc., there are some ahadith and forged poetry talking about "salat" being ritual prayer and Muhammad performing it but there are also some ahadith and forged poetry talking about jihad (to strive) being holy war and Muhammad doing that as well, there are some implications of ritual prayer in the Bible, so solaa=ritual prayer? do you think jihad=holy war or strive/struggle, its true definition? do you think salat means contact prayer or connection, link, bond, tie, etc. its true definition(s)?

              First i just want to highlite a statement you made and correct you

              there is little or no proof from the Quran that solaa is a ritual prayer, solaa doesnt even mean ritual prayer but link, connection, etc.,

              THERE IS NO EVIDENCE IN THE KORAN THAT SALAT IS NOT A RITUAL PRAYER. The root meaning of the word salat is link. The word salat literally mean link prayer.

              Please let go of this argument "salat doesnt even mean prayer" because it is baseless. Du'a mean suplication salat mean Contact Prayer. SAlat and Du'a are to different things, however that does mean salat doesnt mean contact prayer. People fail to see the wisdom in the koran when GOD uses different words (salat and dua) to address issue. Why? because they are different. Salat is a contact prayer done several times a day(2277). Du'a is simply ask GOD for somethings (1711).

              What many are failing to understand is the Salat as a ritual prayer was done before, during, and after the koran by believer and non-believers(835). Why do you think the KOran never define salat. IT WAS WIDELY UNDSTOOD as ritual prayer.

              Now you add it up
              (1) Proof in the Koran (2277)
              (2) Historical facts
              (3) Consistency in Previous Scriptures
              (4) Arabic meaning

              But what do those against ritual prayer have
              (1) Contradtion in ALL GOD scriptures of the definitions
              (2) in consistency within their own organization on the meaning of salat
              (3) No historical evidence, even in the slightest
              (4) No Koranic proof that salat is not a ritual prayer, just there imagination
              (5) Inconsistency in previous scriptures (297)

              do you think jihad=holy war or strive/struggle, its true definition? .

              There is no mention of "holy war" in the Koran, But GOD commands us to perform salat daily. Jihad mean struggle and can change context base on content.

              do you think salat means contact prayer or connection, link, bond, tie, etc. its true definition(s

              let me ask you a question, how do you think words are created and define? DO you think all arabic words can always be trace back to their roots in Arabic?

              If you think so you are wrong, because even within the arabic language, just because a word root means something, it doesnt mean the word as a whole carry that same meaning, for example, Ramadan.

              Salat means contact prayer. Why? it is base on
              (1) historical proof
              (2) Koran Context
              (3) Arabic language
              (4) Previous scriptures

              My definition of salat is base on 4 foudation listed above, yet your and other baliant denial of salat definition is simply base on their imagination and interpretation. That is why there is great inconsisitency in the definition of salat among those who deny salat as a ritual prayer. They have no proof, just the imagination (which is quite creative.)

                  Nothing is for Allah. HE needs nothing, na da.

                  Salat is for us. For our benefit.

                  And how can it or does it save us from the fire of hell

                  you increase you awarness of GOD and you maintain your link with your creator. That how it saves you from hell.

                    So you mean people like myself who arn't into salatR arn't as aware of him as someone doing the salatR.Is this what you are saying?

                    If so can anybody prove this or is there a way of finding out like how aware you or me are or who is more aware?

                    Like may be a test of a sought or by seeing the amall or doings of these individuals???

                    Salaams.Bye.

                      but would you say the same think. Whatever you considered salat to be, I am not doing it by your defintion. If you consisderd it a assemebly, learning process, whatevr, by your definition, i am not doing it so i dont gt the benefits from it.

                      So you mean people like myself who arn't into salatR arn't as aware of him as someone doing the salatR.Is this what you are saying?

                      You ask how salat ave us from evil. i answer. then you assume i was talking about you. I really dont care, i was just answering the question.

                      by the way, what do you considered salat is and how does your "definition" save from evil? you still havent present any proof or argument on you case. i am taking that as a hint.

                        peace,

                        THERE IS NO EVIDENCE IN THE KORAN THAT SALAT IS NOT A RITUAL PRAYER.

                        unfortunately for you its not my job to prove a negative, but actually there is plenty of evidence

                        The root meaning of the word salat is link. The word salat literally mean link prayer.

                        Please let go of this argument "salat doesnt even mean prayer" because it is baseless. Du'a mean suplication salat mean Contact Prayer. SAlat and Du'a are to different things, however that does mean salat doesnt mean contact prayer.

Du'a is simply ask GOD for somethings (1711).

                        the word salat does not even occur in the Quran, the word is solaa which means link, connection, bond, tie, etc., dua does not mean supplication, it means prayer (non-ritual) which Sunnis change to supplication so not to expose their hypocrisy in calling solaa (or as they call it salat) prayer

                        What many are failing to understand is the Salat as a ritual prayer was done before, during, and after the koran by believer and non-believers(835). Why do you think the KOran never define salat. IT WAS WIDELY UNDSTOOD as ritual prayer.

                        I agree with you that the definition of solaa was widely understood but if it was a ritual prayer we would have at least seen a few ask how to uphold it or how many rakas or something like that, just because its definition was the widely understood does not mean its method was, and its not like the Quranic method would be the same as the method of the disbelievers either in performing it so we should at least see a question or two by converts or disbelievers on how to perform it the Quranic way but we don't

                        (1) Proof in the Koran (2277)

                        that verse might be interpreted as it being a ritual but no proof in it being a ritual prayer

                        (2) Historical facts

                        hadith=historical facts? its a historical fact Muhammad declared holy war on the infidels to then I guess ?

                        (3) Consistency in Previous Scriptures

                        we see a few instances in the Bible where the former prophets prostrated on the ground and that means defining solaa as ritual prayer is consistent with the previous scriptures?

                        (4) Arabic meaning

                        nope, your trying to define the word salat which is a nonQuranic word, the word is "solaa" which is just plain link, connection, tie, bond, etc.

                        But what do those against ritual prayer have
                        (1) Contradtion in ALL GOD scriptures of the definitions

                        the definitions? where do we see in the previous scriptures being told to uphold a ritual prayer, I see many times where we are told to uphold the covenant wink

                        (2) in consistency within their own organization on the meaning of salat

                        differences in interpretations, everybody has them, that doesn't change the actual meaning of solaa from link to ritual prayer

                        (3) No historical evidence, even in the slightest

                        its not physical so I shouldn't expect there to be

                        (4) No Koranic proof that salat is not a ritual prayer, just there imagination

                        I don't feel like wasting my time in proving a negative, I can though

                        (5) Inconsistency in previous scriptures (297)

                        nope, my definition of salat is baptism LMAO I have Quranic proof too 443 and 56, please stop ignoring the previous scriptures and follow this definition lol I can bring you historical proof too

                        There is no mention of "holy war" in the Koran, But GOD commands us to perform salat daily. Jihad mean struggle and can change context base on content.

                        lol so you translate jihad based on context but not salat? but I can prove to you jihad is holy way based off of "true" historical "facts", there is no mention of "ritual prayer" in the Quran either btw

                        let me ask you a question, how do you think words are created and define? DO you think all arabic words can always be trace back to their roots in Arabic?

                        nope, I don't define salat based on its root words either

                        If you think so you are wrong, because even within the arabic language, just because a word root means something, it doesnt mean the word as a whole carry that same meaning, for example, Ramadan.

                        i know

                        Salat means contact prayer. Why? it is base on
                        (1) historical proof
                        (2) Koran Context
                        (3) Arabic language
                        (4) Previous scriptures

                        wrong, its a illogical to use the same historical source to help define one word and disregard it to define another because of the Quranic context but then condemn others for disregarding the ritual prayer definition because of the context, the Quranic context can give interpretation to a ritual but never a ritual prayer, Arabic language salat doesnt even occur in the Quran, solaa means link, dua means prayer, you have no lingual support, previous scriptures never order us to uphold a ritual prayer, so none of this works

                        My definition of salat is base on 4 foudation listed above, yet your and other baliant denial of salat definition is simply base on their imagination and interpretation. That is why there is great inconsisitency in the definition of salat among those who deny salat as a ritual prayer. They have no proof, just the imagination (which is quite creative.)

                        you don't know my definition, your just assuming, I think solaa means link/connection/bond/tie/etc. which is what it means linguistically

                        peace

                          Idris

                          you raise very interest points. but i smell in consistency.

                          the word salat does not even occur in the Quran, the word is solaa which means link, connection, bond, tie, etc., dua does not mean supplication, it means prayer (non-ritual) which Sunnis change to supplication so not to expose their hypocrisy in calling solaa (or as they call it salat) prayer

                          you state the "solaa" mean link (which i do agree with). but then you said your defintion of "solaa" is not base on arabic root words

                          nope, my definition of salat is baptism LMAO I have Quranic proof too 443 and 56, please stop ignoring the previous scriptures and follow this definition I can bring you historical proof too

                          also

                          I agree with you that the definition of solaa was widely understood but if it was a ritual prayer we would have at least seen a few ask how to uphold it or how many rakas or something like that, just because its definition was the widely understood does not mean its method was, and its not like the Quranic method would be the same as the method of the disbelievers either in performing it so we should at least see a question or two by converts or disbelievers on how to perform it the Quranic way but we don't

                          so you think one ask how to perform salat?!?! oh my bad "solaa"

                          Also

                          that verse might be interpreted as it being a ritual but no proof in it being a ritual prayer

                          this is strange, you said the verse "may" be referrence to ritual yet say there is no proof of rritual prayer. SO why mention BOW AND worship your lord?!? i think you are confuse on what ritual mean

                          hadith=historical facts? its a historical fact Muhammad declared holy war on the infidels to then I guess

                          hadiths is history. but wait, do you thing the hadiths is the only proof of salat/solaa is a ritual prayer? what about historical temples, masjid, churches etc.

                          we see a few instances in the Bible where the former prophets prostrated on the ground and that means defining solaa as ritual prayer is consistent with the previous scriptures?

                          no few, many! and yes. GOD said bow and worship (2277) and in previous scrpiture we see MESSENGERS (not just regular folks) bowing and worshiping. Yet you deny! like i said, the biggest problem those who deny ritual prayer is GOD scriptureS.

                          nope, your trying to define the word salat which is a nonQuranic word, the word is "solaa" which is just plain link, connection, tie, bond, etc.

                          salat or solaa, they are refernces the same thing. just like shaitan or satan, Jesus or Isa.

                          the definitions? where do we see in the previous scriptures being told to uphold a ritual prayer, I see many times where we are told to uphold the covenant

                          didnt you just as will see "instance" yet many reference to messenger bowing and wroshing.

                          Also base on the Koran the covenant is not salat (283).

                          nope, my definition of salat is baptism LMAO I have Quranic proof too 443 and 56, please stop ignoring the previous scriptures and follow this definition I can bring you historical proof too

                          wait wait wait....BAPTISM?.....wow!
                          PLEASE proof that. BAPTISM?

                          lol so you translate jihad based on context but not salat? but I can prove to you jihad is holy way based off of "true" historical "facts", there is no mention of "ritual prayer" in the Quran either btw

                          i use solaa/salat in context as well. For example, not every mention of salat is reference ritual contact prayer.

                          What you fail to realize is that i have more proof, at leat 4, not just historical proof.

                          there is no mention of "ritual prayer" in the Quran either btw

                          i think you are confuse on what ritual mean. everthing comanment in the Koran are rituals by defintions. look it up.

                          nope, I don't define salat based on its root words either

                          But i define salat by
                          (1) root words
                          (2) historical facts
                          (3) previous scriptures
                          and much more.
                          But how do you define salat? instincts?

                          wrong, its a illogical to use the same historical source to help define one word and disregard it to define another

                          who is doing that. I am define salat/solaa on more that just history remember.

                          Arabic language salat doesnt even occur in the Quran, solaa means link, dua means prayer, you have no lingual support, previous scriptures never order us to uphold a ritual prayer, so none of this works

                          once again with the inconsitency.
                          1st you said

                          nope, I don't define salat based on its root words either

                          then you say

                          Arabic language salat doesnt even occur in the Quran, solaa means link, dua means prayer

                          make up your mind, solaa mean what baptisim or link? what?

                          you don't know my definition, your just assuming, I think solaa means link/connection/bond/tie/etc. which is what it means linguistically

                          solaa mean link now but baptisim later

                          my definition of salat is baptism

                          then you dont use the arabic root worsd to define solaa/salat

                          nope, I don't define salat based on its root words either

                          you are either confusing me or yourself.

                            [

                            Dont ask me...ask the submitters movement or quranists who hold that there is a ritual prayer.

                            We muslims follow Allah and his messenger and pray like the prophet did.

                            Peace

                            So, are you in agreement that it is impossible to get the exact and precise detail of how the majority of Muslims pray just from the Quran? I mean, the detail which you feel is present in the non Quranic hadith?

                            Haven't you then answered your own question (with regards to people who the Quran only)?!

                            Bearing this in mind, do you think you can be a Muslim if you follow only the Quran(there can only be a yes/no answer)?

                            By the way, with regards to your last sentence, I also believe I follow God and his messenger, but the difference between me and you is that I trust God's words and believe them to be complete and fully detailed as He states, whereas you follow the historical recollections of men and elevate them to the status of God's revelations (and in fact above).

                            1015 shows Muhammad followed ONLY 'what was revealed unto him'.

                            619 is one verse which shows that it was the Quran which was revealed unto Muhammad.

                            R.Khalifa When our revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet us say, 'Bring a Quran other than this, or change it!'

                            Shakir And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who hope not for Our meeting say Bring a Quran other than this or change it.

                            Literal And if Our signs/verses evidences are read/recited on them, those who do not hope/expect meeting Us said "Come/bring with a Koran other than that or exchange/replace it ."

                              Peace

                              You had written previously <<Look...this question is always ask yet many continue to deny. In many verses GOD link bow and protration to submission and worship

                              O you who believe, you shall bow, prostrate, worship your Lord, and work righteousness, that you may succeed.

                              Ruku and sujud do not just mean bow and prostrate. They also mean be humble and submit (mentally etc). It is not as simple as you make, IMO.

                              You also wrote << That is why we see clear evidence of salat ritual prayer in religions BEFORE THE KORAN!

                              Such evidences are not from God. I am therefore not interested in them with regards to what God has to say about salat.

                              You then wrote <<Like i state early, people who deny the ritual prayer must first deny (1) ALL PREVIOUS SCRIPUTE because all there "neo" defintion contradiction all, (2) Histroical evidence (3) mathematical proof etc etc etc.

                              IMO the old testament and new testament are what the hadith are to Islam - innaccurate and historical recollections/wishes of men. Again, it comes down to what the Quran SPECIFICALLY SAYS on the matter (IOW, not remnants of lost sciptures/alleged mathematical 'evidences').

                              <<You know what Roshan...show me one verse in the Koran that testify that salat is not a ritual prayer?>>

                              3356 Inna Allaha wamala-ikatahu yusalloonaAAala alnnabiyyi ya ayyuha allatheenaamanoo salloo AAalayhi wasallimoo tasleeman

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

                              Unless you are accussing God of idol worship that is...............

                                it is that simply. you know it means bow and protration. YOu "intrepreted it" as submit and yield or whatever.

                                Such evidences are not from God. I am therefore not interested in them with regards to what God has to say about salat.

                                of courses you are not interested. you want to deny salat. Remember look what the koran said about human history and how He encourage us to learn from it. (66)

                                IMO the old testament and new testament are what the hadith are to Islam - innaccurate and historical recollections/wishes of men.

                                that strange, because GOD actually want us to use it as refernce and He has a high value for them. (625, 164, 217). It funny how you call the previous scripture hadith yet GOD calls them HIS book we (believers) must believe in(4215). But like i said, you haave to deny it to prove that salat is not a ritual prayer.

                                BTW, scriptures (old, new testaments) during muhammed is the same today.

                                Unless you are accussing God of idol worship that is...............

                                Look at the verse again 3356.

                                Khalifa
                                GOD and His angels help and support the prophet. O you who believe, you shall help and support him, and regard him as he should be regarded.

                                Yusuf Ali
                                God 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.

                                Sher Ali
                                Allah sends down HIS blessings on the Prophet and HIS angels pray for him. O ye who believe, you too should invoke HIS blessings on him and salute him with the salutation of peace.

                                "Progressive Muslims"
                                God and His Angels counsel the prophet. O you who believe, you shall counsel him, and agree completely.

                                Do you know what is funny, this verse only prove the salat in this context mean encourage. Yet i have
                                (1) over 60 verse in the koran
                                (2) God previous scriptures
                                (3) historical facts
                                (5) consitency in ALL GOD SCRIPTURES

                                the only thing you present is denial.

                                  peace and salaam to all

                                  THE RITUAL PRAYERS ARE A MOCKERY OF ALLAH AND BLASPHEMOUS

                                  A MUSLIM in his RITUAL PRAYER standing before Allah in a devout frame of mind RECITES THIS to Allah

                                  THE FIRST PART

                                  In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

                                  All praise unto Allah, Lord of all the worlds. The Compassionate, the Merciful. Sovereign of the Day of Requital. THEE ALONE do WE worship and of THEE ALONE do WE seek help. Guide US THOU unto the path straight. The path of those whom THOU hast favoured. Not of those on whom is indignation brought down, nor of the astray. 11/2/3/4/5/6/7

                                  TO WHOM THE MUSLIM IS ASKING FOR HELP AND TO WHOM HE IS RECITING THIS VERSE CERTAINLY TO ALLAH

                                  IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS THE MUSLIM RECITES

                                  THE SECOND PART

                                  In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

                                  The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things DIVERTS YOU, until YOU visit the graves Nay! YOU shall come to know! Again, YOU soon shall know! Lo! Would that YOU knew now with the surety of knowledge! Verily, YOU shall see the BLAZING FIRE (Hell)! And again, YOU shall SEE it with certainty of sight! Then, on that Day, YOU shall surely be ASKED of the delights. 1021/2/3/4/5/6/7/8.

                                  OR

                                  And separate yourselves this Day, O ye culprits! "Did I not enjoin on YOU O ye children of Adam that YOU should not worship Satan; for that he was to YOU an enemy avowed? And that YOU shall worship ME; this is the straight path? "But he did lead astray a great multitude of YOU. Did YOU not then understand? THIS IS HELL, which YOU were PROMISED! Burn therein this Day, for that YOU used to disbelieve. 3659/60/61/62/63/64

                                  TO WHOM THE MUSLIM IS GIVING WARNING OF HELL AND TO WHOM HE IS RECITING THIS VERSE CERTAINLY TO ALLAH

                                  MUSLIMS SHOULD PONDER OVER THEIR PRAYERS

                                  COMPARE THE TWO PARTS OF THE PRAYER, BOTH BEFORE ALLAH AND BOTH TO ALLAH

                                  In the first part believer is believer and Allah is Allah, but in the second part the believer becomes Allah and Allah becomes the believer.

                                  The Muslim is reciting the quran to whom, to Allah, who HIMSELF has descended it for the benefit and guidance of the mankind.

                                  The Muslim in his SECOND PART of the PRAYER says this to Allah

                                  THIS IS HELL, which YOU were PROMISED! Burn therein this Day, for that YOU used to disbelieve.

                                  DID ALLAH ENJOIN ON THE BELIEVERS SUCH FORM OF BLASPHEMOUS PRAYERS

                                  DID ALLAH EVER COMMAND THE BELIEVERS TO RECITE THE QURAN TO HIM?

                                  thanks

                                    i dont know what you are talking about. only the first chapter ONLY is recited in salat. only the first chapter testify to the 19 miracle when said out-loud in arabic.

                                      Please read the words in CAPITAL LETTERS

                                      The motions of the prayer are as follows

                                      1. Standing with the feet only slightly apart, the worshiper raises his arms to the level of his ears, palms open forward, and declares out loud Allahu akbar. This raising of the hands to the level of the head needs to occurs only at this first takbir. This opens the prayer. Then the hands are placed at the sides, or clasped right over left at the waist above the navel, or clasped at the center of the chest, or above the heart. All of these have precedents in the Sunnah of the Prophet, may peace be upon him. In this standing position, the worshiper pronounces the fatihah, which may or may not be preceded by the basmalah. At the end of the fatihah, the worshiper says amin. If there is an lmam, and the fatihah has been said out loud, this amin is pronounced as a response by the congregation. In the first two raka'at of the prayer (but not in subsequent raka'at),

                                      AFTER THE FATIHAH SOME VERSES FROM THE QURAN ARE RECITED.

                                      This ended, the worshiper then says Allahu akbar (this is always said aloud), and bows, placing his hands upon the knees.

                                      AFTER THE FATIHAH ANY SURAH FROM THE QURAN IS RECITED.

                                        The information presented on that site on salat here is incorrect. Only the fatihah is recite. it is illogical to recite any other surah because the audience for other surah is not GOD. God gave us the fatihah as a gift, the is why it is the only surah (i know of) that express the koran mathemtical miracle when recited out loud (which is proof the salat is a ritual prayer) and the audience is GOD. if you want correct information on this visit http//submission.info/practices/salat/

                                          Dear SHM

                                          I am very surprised at your knowledge on the prayers.

                                          I am a resident of a middle east country from where Islam emerged and spread. I had been to saudi on hajj and I have prayed in more than 200 mosques around the world, but still I have not come accross any mosque in which prayers are offered by only reciting surah fatihah. In every prayer the Imam recites surah fatihah and other surah of the quran.

                                          Have you ever prayed SALAAT AL TARAWIH offered in the month of RAMADHAN.

                                          In this prayer the whole quran is recited throughout the month and finished by the 27th night of RAMADHAN.

                                          please do not believe in mathematical codes it will astray you.

                                          thanks
