      man, what about >
      1187 They said,"O Shuayb,does your contact prayer 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!"

      It is mistranslated as "contact prayer"
      It is "salawatak" which would mean your "ways/contacts/ones in touch with"
      God would be one of the "contacts" of Shu3aib, and he would be the one ordering them to leave what their fathers served and not to do with their money as they pleased.

        If Islam is not religion why do we use a word pray?

          Yes, he might as well have performed his contacts with God Almighty (not the ritual namaz, but the contacting God in general)

          Salat was first revealed to Abraham/isaac/Jacob 2173
          Salat/contacting God was revived during Moses's time (2014)
          People then lost salat/contacting God (1959)
          Salat was Re-revived and established to Muhammed (16123)

          Seems following Salat is opposed to following one's lusts, and lusts could be all those things which are based on selfishness, "I-ness" instead of "we-ness", basic instincts, things that do not benefit the collective.

          Of course, this is just my own thinking, and I may be wrong, but I find it hard to believe that Ibraham was the first to uphold Salat. I think the difficulty lies in seeing what Salat is. Is it actually so hard for human beings to uphold the Salat on their own, without external guidance? Is it not possible to be naturally inclined towards Salat... to do it naturally... or is it too difficult due to our free will and our shaiytanic characteristic of the mind?

          peace

            Peace Zulf
            Salat to me, would have the meaning around "Contacting God/Contact Prayer/service"
            The purpose of salat is to remember God 2014, we could do it while walking or riding in some situations(2239), however, its purpose does not change
            I don't believe in the traditional 2,4,4,3,4 rak'a traditional sala, but a more liberal salat as to say.

              I remember Allah a lot and have never prayed.

                How do you remember Allah? I mean, in what way? Is it like thinking about the existence of Allah or contemplating on Allah's design or..?

                  Where is the open mindedness and respect for others?
                  God himself spoke "Establish Salat for my remembrance" (2014)

                  If you remember God a lot that's good. That's the point of doing salat.

                  salat is not really prayer.
                  I can pray any time of the day.... i.e invoking God.
                  i could only do 3 salats per day, as per my understanding.

                  I am not advocating the ritualistic 2,4,4,3,4 traditional salat, which might be focusing on the number of movements rather than being sincere and taking your time to remember God.
                  I would be advocating the liberal for of salat, where you stand, speak moderatley, contact God, as if contacting someone on the phone, but being sincere and humble, and ending with a prostration. That would be close to my way of doing salat.

                  If you don't worship God, that's your belief.
                  To say, God Almighty would be the only one worthy of worship.

                    Dear Youssef,
                    How can we use a word worship if Islam is not a religion?
                    and if salat is not really prayer what is then
                    Sala-al Fajr-DAWN PRAYER (2458; 11114).
                    Sala-al Esha-EVENING PRAYER (2458; 1778; 11114)
                    Sala-al Wusta- MIDDLE PRAYER (2238; 177
                    ?

                      The problem is clear, but again, none are as blind as those who care not to see. If we choose to interpret ''salat'' as a method of communication with Allah, may it be ritualistic or not, and say that Abraham was the first one to do it, then we must judge prophet Noah's story within the Qu'ran as absolute conjecture.

                      Allah never changes his sunnah, and thus, that prophet Abraham was the first person to uphold ''salat'' is to say that he was the first human being on this earth.

                      This is just one of the many flaws within your interpretations.

                      Where is the open mindedness and respect for others?

                      I find it not very sincere on your part to try to justify your way of doing ''salat'' using the Qu'ran, while we both very well know the true reason of why you think it is the closest to being authentic.

                      939 - As for the ones, who departed reason and became disordered as a consequence of love of lusts. Wouldn?t their future continue to overcome, conquer, prevail and rule over them.

                        People translate Salat as a "Prayer" because maybe it would seem as a prayer, however, we do not need to pray to God during salat, we could glorify, praise God and recite other verses about his qualities and magnify God.
                        Du'a is supplication = what you think of as "praying"
                        Whether you believe in physically worshiping God not, When it's Resurrection day time, we will see some humbleness and obedience shown to God Almighty, whether you call it worship or servitude.

                        To lordfox
                        Salat would be first establish by Abraham. not the previous prophets.
                        Please consider what you statesd as "Allah never changes his sunnah" ?

                        This is not the case with Religious rights however.
                        God Almighty commanded different laws in the Torah and Gospels and Quran.... This would not fit into "God doesn't change his system"
                        "Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed different laws and rites. Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny?all of you?then He will inform you of everything you had disputed. (54

                        Thus Adam/Noah etc might not have practiced Salat/Zakat
                        Thus Abraham didn't Uphold the Torah or the Gospels
                        "O followers of the scripture, why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Do you not understand? (365)

                        Thus, the different commandments and rites would not be subjected to "God's system doesn't change"
                        Noah might have had different laws and rites than us.
                        Salat would have been first established to Abraham

                        Abraham and Ishmael Prayed to God " "....Teach us the rites of our religion, and redeem us. You are the Redeemer, Most Merciful" (212
                        "We made them imams who guided in accordance with our commandments, and we taught them how to work righteousness, and we revealed to them the observance of Salat and Zakat..... (2173)

                              The problem is clear, but again, none are as blind as those who care not to see. If we choose to interpret ''salat'' as a method of communication with Allah, may it be ritualistic or not, and say that Abraham was the first one to do it, then we must judge prophet Noah's story within the Qu'ran as absolute conjecture.

                              Allah never changes his sunnah, and thus, that prophet Abraham was the first person to uphold ''salat'' is to say that he was the first human being on this earth.

                              This is just one of the many flaws within your interpretations.

                              I'm not sure what you mean. I said that I don't feel Abraham was the first, for the same reasons you just gave. I agree with what you just wrote... that provided Salat is some sort of communication, it would be odd to think Abraham was the first to use it. But then again, it all depends on what Salat actually is... and that is not clear... not to me at least. So what you quoted of my earlier post actually agrees with you response... and therefore I can't see how THAT is one of my so called flaws of interpretations. We say the same thing! The only difference as I see it then, is our take on whether Salat is a type of communication or not. What is your understanding of Salat bytheway?

                                Retarded purpose.

                                I remember Allah a lot and have never prayed.

                                Such eloquent wisdom. I guess you have never repented and asked for forgiveness from God for your transgressions? Because that is a form of prayer too. Never asked for guidance from Him? Never asked for help from Him? Those are prayers too.

                                    Aided safar comes and tells us that worshiping is not really right.... after thousands of years of people worshiping God, across multiple scripture!
                                    I have asked for guidance and this is what God Almighty guided to; To worship.
                                    What will people do during Resurrection day? is it not feasible to say people will be humble and be servile towards God Almighty ?
                                    Is worshiping God wrong? is taking around 20 min focusing on contacting God 3 times a day and showing some devotion to God Almighty wrong?

                                      So when you repent and ask for forgiveness or for help from God, what is it then if it is not a form of prayer? Who are you calling on and why is it recommended in the Quran? Why does God tell us about prophets, messengers and the righteous doing such things that He deems good/beneficial/required for us?

                                      Surely you are not to arrogant to bow down, prostrate and ask God for forgiveness and for help are you?

                                          wow,
                                          should we not unit? we're the minority here.
                                          A house divided against itself WILL NOT STAND! (mathiew 1225)
                                          what happened to retaliate evil with good and say what is better?
                                          THE DEVIL TRIES TO PUT ANIMOSITY AND HATRED BETWEEN US!!! (1753)

                                          The devil would probably laugh at us.
                                          Pray that God would unit us and support us!
