Non performers of As-Salaat are not true believers
-
Anything done that becomes a practice has its originator who performed it for the first time. So every act has point in time of its first occurrence and a performer. Qur'aan associates its first performance to Ibrahim alahisalam and to the point in time when the House of Allah had been built.
Salaamun alayka,
Are you referring to " "?
If so do you mean that whenever is used that act happened for the first time?
If so, then I think it is interesting, I have to check that.Salaam,

Can you please give me the verse/s where the Qur'aan associates the first ever salat performance in the history of the world to Ibrahim? Is it 1440? 2125? Or perhaps another? Or like Bender asked...is it something particular you are basing this on within the verses themselves?

Peace,
My question is, did any prophet make this request before Abraham?
Recall that Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me
and my children from worshiping idols."My Lord, they have misled so many people. As for those who follow me, they
belong with me. As for those who disobey me, You are Forgiver, Most Merciful."Our Lord, I have settled part of my family in this plantless valley, at Your Sacred
House. Our Lord, they are to observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), so let throngs of people
converge upon them, and provide for them all kinds of fruits, that they may be appreciative."Our Lord, You know whatever we conceal and whatever we declare- nothing is
hidden from GOD on earth, nor in the heavens."Praise be to GOD for granting me, despite my old age, Ismail and Isaac.
My Lord answers the prayers."My Lord, make me one who consistently observes the Contact Prayers (Salat),
and also my children. Our Lord, please answer my prayers.Which prophets/messengers asked God to have them consistently observes the Contact
Prayers before Abraham.God bless
peace

If so, please explain/prove. If not, then this is just a repetition.

In languages every word signifies specific meanings. "Iz" time adverb refers to the point in time when an act-incident-accident-happening-command-promulgation surfaces for the people. It does not refer to the timeline prior to it. It is not a time adverb of frequency-how often. It is specific and exclusive to information about what happened after that point in time.
You will not find this time adverb used in any other manner in Qur'aan.
First occurrence in 230
Know the history of the point in time when your Sustainer Lord had said to the Angles;
"Be informed; I am placing-declaring Adam in the Earth as self-governor enjoying freedom-discretion-free will of self rule-decision-governance". -

a) Allah for the first time in history said something.
b) Allah for the first time in history said something to almalaikat.
c) Allah for the first time in history said to almalaikat that he is plaing a khalifa on earth.
d) something elseif d then please clarify.

It does not mean that He the Exalted spoke for the first time in history or spoke for the first time to Angels. But that particular statement is said for the first time. It is one time solitary occurrence in history. -

"Be informed; I am placing-declaring Adam in the Earth as self-governor enjoying freedom-discretion-free will of self rule-decision-governance".A time adverb about time, will wonders never cease. How does that relate to 'act-incident-accident-happening-command-promulgation' happening for the 'first time ever' in the history of the universe?...At the most one could say the event is unique, as is every event really...but the content itself? Very difficult to prove given all the occurrences in the quran of said phrase, unless one believes that lack of mention anywhere else is somehow evidence/proof.
4326 And when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship"
one part of this is the content, one part is the 'unique' event etc. Prove that it was the first time ever in the history of the universe a guided person/prophet/whatever said this content? Just because one claims it isn't mentioned anywhere else does not mean proof. Just because wa idh is used doesn't make it a first time ever occurrence, it simply means 'and when' x happened, y was said/done/etc. There is no need to complicate things using one phrase as a font pouring out wisdom by the bucketloads on everything else in the same sentence; one can read and understand it as is. Everyone can understand 'And when Mazhar created the thread about salat, many people posted on it'...instead of wa idh being the end all be all of everything that one wants to wring out of a verse to suit their fancy = it was the first/only time Mazhar ever created a thread about salat in the history of the universe, and many people posted on it. It is an assumption, not proof.
But that particular statement is said for the first time. It is one time solitary occurrence in history.
Wa idh isn't proving that it was the first time ever in history that Allah spoke a particular statement for the only time ever, God help us. It is simply stating 'and when x happened'. -
Salam,
(i) Only Deen approved in the sight of Allah(swt) is Islam for all times (Quran ? 319 refers)
(ii) Whatever in the heavens and the earth follows the approved Deen. (Quran ? 383 refers)
(iii) The same Deen which was enjoined upon Prophet Nuh(PBUH) was re-directed to Porphet Ibrahim, Moosa, Eissa and finally Prophet Ahmad (Peace be upon them all) (Quran ? 4213 refers)
(iv) The guidance bestowed upon Prophet Noah (PBUH) was alike to Prophet Ibrahim and others (PBUT) (Quran- 684 refers)
(v) Those who are among the observant of Salat and Zakat are among the fraternity of the approved Deen. (Quran ? 911 refers)
(vi) Everybody in the past had been commanded to serve Allah, with utter sincerity, devoting themselves exclusively to Him, and observe Salat and Zakah, as that is the approved Deen. (Quran ? 985 refers)Given the above, to the best of my acumen I understand that Salat was enjoined upon all the Prophets and not only starting from Prophet Ibrahim(PBUH).
Salam!

savage_carrot At the most one could say the event is unique, as is every event really...but the content itself?
The content of the issue under discussion is about a unique event. And unique means being the only one of a kind; limited to a particular person or thing.
If it is not accepted as unique, then positive evidence is required to show it did happen or was practiced in timeline before Ibrahim alahissalam. In the absence of such evidence; its uniqueness cannot be challenged.
Hadith mongers are the exception who imagine Ka'aba was raised by Nuh alahissalam. -

God does not intend to complicate every issue for us as some members here do.
God does not want a "religion" to be a burden for us.But,
Salat is institutionalized to help us remember God 5 times a day, and keep the time cycle while performing the Contact Prayer so we can purify ourselves and remind us of God alone, so we do not incur in idol worshiping.
Certainly God does not need any of our actions or rituals, but they are for the nourishment of our souls.

Hadith mongers are the exception who imagine Ka'aba was raised by Nuh alahissalam.What did you think I meant by unique? Every event is the same since the history of the universe; unlimited to anything? Where is the evidence for the assertion it was the 'first ever performance ever'? After using peculiar translations and insistence on a two word phrase having all the answers, what's left? Salat isn't mentioned before Ibrahim so it must not exist? People before Ibrahim were damned/exempt for God knows what reason; they were following some other kind of system because apparently Nuh was a prophet who did things...differently. He was unique in the history of prophethood, unique meaning the only one of a kind.
Thank you ansmeh1998 for the verses.

No, that is not merely a two word phrase. The ayah is describing complete history. And everything related is unique, unprecedented in earlier history.
Time adverb is associated with the construction of building which Allah the Exalted owns and calls it "My House".
Construction of "My House" is associated with Ibrahim alahissalam and his son Ismail alahissalam.
Thereby people were directed to stand for-institute As-Salat.
Ibrahim alahissalam and his son Ismail alahissalam were put under an obligation to maintain the House of Allah.
People before Ibrahim were damned/exempt for God knows what reason; they were following some other kind of system because apparently Nuh was a prophet who did things...differently. He was unique in the history of prophethood, unique meaning the only one of a kind.

Salam,
Did you not peep into Hell-Prison? Therein people are also saying something about Salaat.
I peeped into Hell-Prison, didn't get a t-shirt but have some comments.
7019 Indeed, man was created anxious.
7020 When adversity touches him he is miserable.
7021 And when good touches him he is stingy.
7022 Except for those who make the contact prayer.
7023 Who always observe their contact prayer.
7024 And those who set aside part of their wealth.
7025 For the seeker and the denied.
7026 And those who believe in the Day of Judgment.
7027 And those who are fearful of the retribution of their Lord.
7028 The retribution of their Lord is not to be taken for granted.
7029 And those who keep covered their private parts.
7030 Except around their spouses or those maintained by their oaths, there is no blame.
7031 Whoever seeks anything beyond this, they are the transgressors.
7032 And those who look after what they have been entrusted to and to their pledges.
7033 And those who uphold their testimonies.
7034 And those who maintain their contact prayer.
7035 They will be honored in gardens.Does this go to show anywhere that certain people living before a time period were exempt from these things that will land us into Hell-Prison? Was man created anxious only after Ibrahim? Was salat denied those before so that they could remain miserable during adversity because, well why not. Hell-Prisons need to be populated after all or they're just for show.
7441 About the criminals.
7442 "What has caused you to be in the scorching heat?"
7443 They said "We were not as those who made the contact prayer."
7444 "And we did not feed the poor person."
7445 "And we used to participate with those who spoke falsehood."
7446 "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment."
7447 "Until the certainty came to us."Is the criminal element of Hell-Prison only from a certain time period? Are these criminals from a more enlightened time in the history of the world? There are plenty of other passages to suggest, no of course not, but lets just call it a unique time period in the history of the world when humanity was sent prophets with different/lacking concepts. If it was something like a minute change okay, but this is salat we're talking about, a core concept...and that wasn't presented to humanity before a certain time period? What the Hell-Prison is this?
People the world over universally have had guidance through the ages in different ways which can be clearly seen when different cultures of different time periods are studied which are similar to the core concepts present in the quran. Yet, we manage to create more differences by insisting on special salat and for a certain people only. Doesn't matter if this soul saving special salat is highly geographical in nature or dependent on the same things that we might in other places eschew as unreliable. Whole contingents of people were doomed from the start because they didn't have special salat OR they got a free pass, yay. The Eskimo's in Nuh's time had their blubber after all, they didn't need an intuitive or universal salat either, let alone this special salat. They were created anxious with no salat to relieve them. And today? Why, let them have internet or cake. The discrepancies that are created are done away with, a different time, a different people, a different prophet, who cares damned or exempt...humanity is different today.
