w/salaam,
Welcome to the forum.
Re salat
The important thing is to apply as you learn. For example, if you think salat is X, then do X, but keep increasing your knowledge, then if you find it means Y and you should modify it then do so, and keep repeating this process. Seeking knowledge is a continual process, a journey. As long as one is sincere and they put in reasonable effort, that is the key.From http//www.quran434.com/study-method.html

Excellent recommendation of reading Wakas as usual .
Peace peace

That's just sad, what you've stated, "woman is to be used as objects for men".

Salaam kamzo
Thank you for your reply.
In answer to your question, it was hard living with a mental and physical abusive man who has anti-quranic ideas. When he used to abuse, he said it was mentioned in Islam. But I have bulit enough courage to stand up to him and separate myself from him. Reading the Quran in English has helped me a lot and made me much stronger.
When you have been married to someone like this for many years and you then separate yourself from them, it is very hard to just get married to someone else because the worry is will the other person have the same mentality as him? And also, I don't feel that I am strong enough to go through that again.Peace. May god bless us all
A wise lady once told me Never cry for the person who hurts you. Just smile and say "Thanks for giving me the chance to find someone better than you"
I hope that you will get what you are looking for. Welcome to the forum.

What concerns me mostly is the salat. What verses of the Quran are stated in the salat that Muslims around the world are performing, facing the qaba? Is there any rules on how you pray to god? I feel emotionally closer to god when I do my dua than when I am doing my namaz.
I think that the emotional closeness to God that you feel is guidance from Him. If you pray in a way that brings you closer, you are doing it right IMHO, which probably means that what you call "dua" is closer to what God calls "salaat" than that other thing you mention.
(Any adherent to scripture would be wise to apply the approach Wakas mentioned - if we are afraid of realizing our errors and adjusting/repenting, we will never be Muslim) -

(Any adherent to scripture would be wise to apply the approach Wakas mentioned - if we are afraid of realizing our errors and adjusting/repenting, we will never be Muslim)Agree totally. What I think of as "dua" is essentially what I feel the timed connections of salaat should be based on.

It is sort of a common sense thing which people miss. This approach is good for avoiding blind faith and sheep mentality. It is also good for growth as you are willing to be at your own frontier of understanding, always ready to adapt to new understanding, ready to grow. Life is after all change. That which ceases being dynamic and stops developing, dies. So this is actually how the Creative Being/Allah makes people grow step by step. It is to go with the flow of life and the inspirations that Allah gives you. It is to forgo resistance and embrace growth.
Peace!
