    Salam brother Mazhar,

    Kindly confirm whether the the following chronology (starting from first at the top and last at the bottom) as put forth by brother Hawk99 is correct or not

    Adam (Adam)

    Idris (Enoch)

    Nuh (Noah)

    Hud (Eber)

    Saleh

    Ibrahim (Abraham)

    Lut (Lot)

    Isma'il (Ishmael)

    Is-haq (Isaac)

    Ya'qub (Jacob)

    Yusuf (Joseph)

    Ayyub (Job)

    Shu'aib (Jethro

    Harun (Aaron)

    Musa (Moses)

    Dawud (David)

    Sulayman (Solomon)

    Ilyas (Elijah / Elias)

        Oh I see. You mean all the understanding that you arrive at is necessarily informed to you directly from Allah(swt) in the form of Wahi or what? By the way, in one of your posts your good self placed Prophet Idris(PBH) after Prophet(Ibrahim) on what basis - Guess or Wahi?

        Any way, be happy with your understanding and style. No offence. handshake

        Salaam!

          Again read the Ayahs and concentrate on its words and mutual relationships of persons mentioned therein. This does not call Noah alahissalam as the progeny of Idress alahissalam. Don't wander, only reflect on words of Qur'aan.

            Please keep on reflecting with the way that suits your design. Let me wander a little for a while. After all I am not yet Burn Out. Thank you.

              Be always mindful for performing As-Salaat; and just peep in the Hell-Prison to listen its dwellers.

              http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Tabweeb/00024.%20Salat%20Suad%20Lam%20Waw/25.gif The time bound Protocol of Servitude and Allegiance is the fundamental protocol for non-verbal demonstration of the truthfulness of one's claim of having accepted and become a believer. This is manifestation of belief and key to success and fruitfulness

              Be always mindful for performing As-Salaat

                  Peace,

                  Allow me to clarify, If a person accepts that there is only one God, but has not reached the
                  the point of Mu'men, according to 49/14 that person is muslim because of acknowledgement
                  yet still the journey has begun even though that person
                  does not make salat, because there is still much to learn, should that person be considered
                  kafir until they start to perform the salat?

                  God bless

                  peace

                  Peace Mazhar, ansmeh1998,

                  Apparently I still am unable to word my question clearly, so I will try again, first I am not
                  looking for the definition of Muslim or mu'min. The question has to do with the title of the
                  thread "Non performers of As-Salaat are not true believers" So here we go again, If a
                  person has not reached the level of Mu'min, say, because they are a new convert or they
                  have not reached the level certainty for whatever reason, but is considered Muslim
                  because they acknowledge that "There is no other god beside GOD" is that person
                  considered kafir because they do not perform the salat. whew!

                  God bless

                  peace

                    I think that person is not kafir, but Salat helps him to remember and strengthen his conviction that there is one God and nothing but God Alone!

                      Title of thread " Non performers of As-Salaat are not true believers"

                      I think that person is not kafir, but Salat helps him to remember and strengthen his conviction that there is one God and nothing but God Alone!

                      I agree with you, that person should not be considered kafir as the thread seems to be
                      suggesting because the kafir is one who rejects, while the new person or the underdeveloped
                      soul may have simply not reached the point of observing the salat ritual due to weakness of
                      deen. Therefore the title may need some tweaking.

                      God bless

                      peace

                        Salaam hawk99,

                        I think brother Mazhar implies that many Quran alone Muslims have started to believe there is no frequent salat as in traditional sense and that these people are not true Believers.

                        God bless you

                          Hawk, Salam

                          Indeed the following of those who identify their selves as Believers have attained perpetual success and fruitfulness

                          Those who demonstrate solemnity and humble-mindedness in the performance of their As-Salaat time bound Protocol of Servitude and Allegiance;

                          Believer Whoever pronounces making it public that he believes in Allah the Exalted, Qur'aan, Injeel before it and all the Books of Allah revealed in time line; all the Messengers of Him, the Angels and the Last Day.

                          They all are not declared successful. The characteristics of those claimants of belief who succeeded are given by Relative Pronoun .

                          The first element of success is performance of Salat. The successful are the true believers. Others are believers by tongue and lips. Kaafir is one who denies to have faith in aforementioned realities.

                          See who are truly the believers

                          Take note; Truly the Believers are only those whose hearts blenched when Allah the Exalted is mentioned;
                          And when Aa'ya'at the Verbal Passages of the Book of Him Grand Qur'aan are recited to them word by word Each Ayah Unitary Verbal Passage gave them enhancement; the enhancement and conviction of belief.
                          And they have trust and hope in their Sustainer Lord.
                          And they steadfastly maintain the Institution of As-sa'laat Time Bound Formal Protocol of demonstrating Servitude and allegiance to Allah the Exalted.

                          Further, they heartily spend part of the worldly resources for other's welfare which We have given to them as sustenance.

                          The aforementioned are the proven and established believers amongst claimants of belief.

                            peace Mazhar,

                            peace Mazhar,

                            These comments are with regard to this salat article of yours.

                            You discuss 2238 and assume there are two salat each side of al salat al wusta - why two? why not 3 each side etc

                            In 2238 why mention one of the five salat separately according to you, when it is already covered by the plural salawat?

                            According to you, which salat can be done on the move (2239) "al salat al wusta" or the other "salawat"? And what is your evidence for this.

                            what is your evidence for "zulaf" meaning "early"?

                            You repeatedly cite "salat al fajr" and "salat al 3sha" as reference points but you have no reference for the other alleged 3 salat hence refer to them as "this al salat" or "al salat for the point in time of...".etc etc - why does Quran not clarify the reference terms for the alleged other 3 in your view? If it does give the terms, please provide them.

                            When discussing "salat al fajr" with me you said this is not a name of a "salat" but in your article you state "The other two prescribed al salat are also NAMED by the point in time" (then you reference 245

                            You seemingly contradict yourself when you say "The remaining two timings for al salat are at two visual transition EDGES of the day which are in the LATER day..." - ask anyone about what the two edges of daytime are and they will never discuss them being later in the day.

                            8 )
                            You seemingly have no break in-between some salat.

                            Some of your 5 salat have specific times AND time-ranges whilst others do not - why?

                            Please continue from where you left, i.e. after Q7.

                            And if I may add another question how many years have you been reading and studying Quran? A rough figure will do.

                            All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                                Brother, irrelevant question. My study is uploaded on site. Please point out omissions for correction. Studying a book of foreign language is merely a skill of translating it; its comprehension is obtaining knowledge from it. I am a skilled laborer possessing complete kit of tools. Time is my contribution.

                                  Peace Mazhar,

                                  Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question, if I understand you correctly,
                                  people who have not reached the level of salat regardless of station which includes new
                                  converts, are kafirs yes/no?

                                  God bless

                                  peace

                                    I invited you to accept my word. You denied. You are kafir for me with regard to that word only. Kaffir means who denies to accept a thought-belief. Salat has no relevance for Kafir.

                                    You claim you are a believer. You did not perform Salat despite living after your proclamation of belief. You were not a true believer; you merely uttered words of belief.

                                          Salaam,

                                          Faith is about behavior and your righteous deeds to most part. Salat exceeding being conscious of God is bonuses beneficial to your spirituality but not the main criteria for being redeemed.

                                          1. Faith in God
                                          2. Hereafter belief
                                          3. Being a righteous person

                                          These are the main criteria. Salat is in a way related here but that means having a connection to God and making decisions in life having God on your mind, ie remaining aware of Him at all times. Meditation and these other prayer practices are to nurture your soul. Certainly it is a great bonus and without it you probably cannot change enough during your lifetime.

                                          If you base your decisions in life on God's words and live your life as God taught you then you will be a Believer. The stereotypical prayers of tradition will not help very much, although praising and glorifying God in ways can, like I said, be a bonus. The prayer is a connection to your God which you work on just like any relation in your primitive earthly life. Because God is unseen it may feel strange but nonetheless real. God hears and if you speak your mind He will listen. Make Him your friend with a combination of good daily works and friendly speeches. Put your trust in Him as much as typical Christians put their faith in Jesus. Treat Him as He was your living friend near you despite Him being far more superior than you.

                                          And treat your neighbor as you would treat your own children and family.

                                          God is surely sitting in that sofa at your side in the evenings despite you not seeing Him. See things as He is with you when problems arise. He could be like a good parent/teacher testing you in various ways as you grow older.

                                          God bless you
