Peace Family,
So if people can do whatever sujud appeals to their fancies, what type of sujud
would you recommend for congregational prayer?You shall observe the Contact Prayers and give the obligatory charity and
bow down with those who bow down.All have a blessed ramadan

Myself still intepretate ruku' and sujud as physical shalat.
Plus this is the verse about salat janaaza (funeral player) which is one of the reason I believe if salat is physical rites.984 And do not make the contact prayer for any of them who have died, nor stand at their grave. They have rejected God and His
messenger and died while they were wicked. -

peace all,
a family is a congregation. each member in the family has to pray Allah individually for all their needs. believing Allah (prayer) that He will provide their every need and stand steadfast in their belief/prayer, with this stand they help each other starting the charity from their home. when Allah broadens their heart and if Allah wills, they can increase the charity beyond their home. to live in this path the family has to be humble to each other who are humble thereby first maintaining the peace at home. prayer is not a practice, but life itself, in the path of Quran. prayer is known only to Allah and the one who pray. this is how we started praying Allah.
in this way all the family of believers pray to Allah. this prayer unites all the humble believers wherever they are by Allah. this will not become a sect, because here everyone is an individual.

Do we have to seek the help of dictionary or take a word in its literal sense always.
How about going by our common sense or conscience, leading to innate understanding by looking beyond. This kind of pondering will help us to make sense of any translation and interpretation whether it goes well with the truth in our hearts.-
A family consists of a "group of persons gathered together for worship" could be even at the dinner table - Thanksgiving Prayer.

I think what DrGm is trying to say is If we are not humble at home first, which is where it matters first, how does it matter when we are humble to general public or is it we are acting outside and showing our true nature at home. We need to remember, charity begins at home.
For eg., I am rude/angry/mean to my husband but I go out and give alms to the poor.
I am accountable to God on the Judgement Day. He is closely watching me inside my heart also - He is All Knowing. I am destroying peace at home and I put on an act for the outside world that I am generous. Can I fool God?Gita

Peace Earthdom,
Thanks for reminding me of that ayat (9/84), I completely forgot about it.

Yousuf Ali But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said "Fear not We have been sent against the people of Lut."Only two ayahs where this word accurs and in one it means "pray" and in the other "reaching" isn't that weird!

Thank you for your reply, definitions are important it is the key to understanding any
language. You are right when you say a group can be a family. But to say a family
"is" becomes the definition of the word. If you notice I sometimes say "peace family"
when opening a post, referring to my family of believers. Therefore a family can be
understood to be a group with similar aspirations metaphorically.Peace 357,
You are right the two words appear to have the same root.
maybe someone can explain the difference between tusalli (pray)
in 9/84 and tasilu (reaching) in 11/70.Have a blessed ramadan

It seems weird if one think both comes from the same root. But in fact the one in verse ,984 comes from the root word "Sa-La-Va", meaning to pray, but, in verse 1170, comes from the root word "Wa-Sa-La" meaning to touch, contact or reaching toward. They're derived from different root words with different meanings. Hope it is clear now.

I remember reading about how salat and zakat were taught to Abraham and passed down through the generations, and how Allah promises in the Quran to preserve His signs. Does that include the preservation of salat since its clarification upon revelation of the Quran? While the details of salat are not mentioned, is salat still a "sign" from Allah and thus protected by Him?
So, has salat become corrupted (ie the five daily prayers of 2, 4, 4, 3, 4)?

Salaat is to commemorate ALLAAH, swt, alone. See verse 2014 below among others.
Lo! I, even I, am Allah, There is no God save Me. So serve Me and establish worship for My remembrance.
So, as long as one does not commemorates anyone else but ALLAAH, swt, in his/her salaat, thus no corruption. He/she has followed The Qur'aan.

Well said! Salat is all about establishing a connection to God. And glad you translated as serve and not worship, I do not like that translation bravo

a family is a test, in which each individual is unique, this represent the diversity of nations/community/groups in the world. so, it is a test for us how we live in the family with pride or humble. this family extension is the world.

The Lord of mankind provides the best examples. So i am reminded of the one where Moses tells his people that god commands them to sacrifice an animal.
And remember Moses said to his people "Allah commands that ye sacrifice a heifer."
They said "Makest thou a laughing-stock of us?"
He said "Allah save me from being an ignorant (fool)!"
They said "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us what (heifer) it is!"
He said; "He says The heifer should be neither too old nor too young, but of middling age. Now do what ye are commanded!"
They said "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us Her colour."
He said "He says A fawn-coloured heifer, pure and rich in tone, the admiration of beholders!"
They said "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us what she is To us are all heifers alike We wish indeed for guidance, if Allah wills."
He said "He says A heifer not trained to till the soil or water the fields; sound and without blemish."
They said "Now hast thou brought the truth." Then they offered her in sacrifice, but not with good-will.A simple command made hard - sound familiar???
Read it over and over and over and take heed of the message!!!

There is no word raka'at in the Quran.It's innovation of Zoroartrian agents in the past who want destroy Islam from behind by create a fairy tales.
