Dear brother, muslims.

May peace be upon you.

I would like to kindly ask you, from a Quranic perspective, what do you believe the word 'salat' to mean?

You don't have to explain in details, just put your response in a simple sentence.

Peace to you )

Dear brother, Scribbler.

This is salat.

Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing (<a href="http//quran.com/29/45">2945</a&gt

To every nation We appointed acts of devotion which they observe (5101)

Meaning of Salat for each element.

and basically, the objectives of Ibada are as follows

Fast "..decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you
that you may become righteous.." (2183)

and cause them increase.." (9103)

Hajj (or else) "..That they may witness benefits for themselves

The Formula

It is He who has sent among the unlettered
a Messenger from themselves

reciting to them His verses and
purifying them and
teaching them the Book
and wisdom
although they were before in clear error
(<a href="http//quran.com/62/2">622</a&gt

Primary importance

Command War zone Objectives (primary importance)
(illusion) (reality)
an acts of -> How -> - become righteous (ourselves)
devotion to - to purify ourselves
perform? - witness benefits in ourselves
etc. - prohibits immorality/wrongdoing in ourselves

understanding of reality (ourselves)

Have we achieved the objectives?

If not, we are still not performing those "Ibada".

It is, in fact, not an Ibada (iman and amal, burden of proof).

For example

We will know what is the reality, universe and what is Allah. We are able to return our Shahada, and not as hypocrites; ie. those who will not benefit from the Shahada and no matter how many times he may have made that statement during his life.

Say Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in (their) deeds?

(These are) they whose labor
is lost in this world's life
and they think
that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands

These are they who disbelieve
in the communications of their Lord and His meeting
so their deeds become null
and therefore We will not set up a balance for them
on the day of resurrection.

Thus it is that their recompense is hell

because they disbelieved
and held My communications
and My messengers
in mockery
(<a href="http//quran.com/18/103-106">18103-106</a&gt

muslims

He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience
and how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?
(1867-68)

What does the Qur'an teach?

Rule Justly Balanced Exception
(Right) (When being wrong is right)

Human (?) cause I know that Successor
corruption which you (Adam & Angels)
(230) do not know (230)

Unlawful sexual Marriage Lawful sexual
intercourse intercourse
(1732) (1732)

Cannot kill War/ Can kill
a person Defense a person
(532) (22.39)

Forbidden to eat Emergency Can eat
swine flesh swine flesh
(2173) (2173)

One wife Orphan Multiple wives
(3350) (43)

Follow strictly Signs/ Use reasoning
Allah's words Awwaliyah (822)

Cannot commit Avoid Can commit
mischief Mudharat mischief
(1867-82)

Cannot commit Just Can commit
evil evil
(16125)

Unity Wrongdoing No unity
(4213) (3030-32)

and so on...

From the above, we can see that the Qur'an teaches us how to balance and achieve justice ..

It is the "Ihdina assirata almustaqeem" (16); "..and you become three kinds.." (567)

Why it is about balance and just?

Because ...

We cannot change to what is right (just) in the fire element. -> unjust to the air, water and earth.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in the air element. -> unjust to the fire, water and earth.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in the water element. -> unjust to the fire, air and earth.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in the earth element. -> unjust to the fire, air and water.
We cannot change to what is right (just) in all these elements.
We cannot change what is wrong (unjust) in all these elements.

However, we can balance the major and minor "right (just)" in all these elements.
ie. right 1 + right 2 + right 3 + right 4 and so on...

For example

The degree of what is right.

25% wrong (unjust) -> means 75% right (just)
50% wrong (unjust) -> means 50% right (just)
75% wrong (unjust) -> means 25% right (just)
100% wrong (unjust) -> means 0% right (just)

http//s11.postimg.org/hq4ht9ic3/humanunity.png

Can 0% or less than 50% wrong (unjust) be achieved?

Nope, because all these elements exist in all living creatures.

It is Sunnatullah, and Allah is The Just, Al-`Adl (&#1604.

Therefore, our real issue in life is why human are fighting each other and standing for what is right or wrong? (refer here)

Our real issue in life is why not stand up for human unity, based on what is just and balance?

To this then go on inviting <-- Task for Muslims
and go on steadfastly <- refer to the above sponsorship program - Duty Awareness
on the right way
as you are commanded
and do not follow their low desires <- don't argue with them, focus on unity, peace and harmony
and say What is a Mushrikeen? (3030-32)

I believe in what Allah has revealed of the Book
and I am commanded to do justice between you <-- role as Mediators and Conciliators
Allah is our Lord and your Lord vs. Provoker & create more divisions
we shall have our deeds
and you shall have your deeds
no plea need there be (now) between us and you <- no argument! ignore right/wrong &
Allah will gather us together focus on unity, peace and harmony
and to Him is the return

(<a href="http//quran.com/42/10-16">4210-16</a&gt

..

A Muslim must now learn how to become Negotiator, Mediator and Conciliator. There is no religion and it is not about to spread Islam, since Islam is not a religion. It is about to spread peace, harmony and unity in the society. It's about benefiting humanity, kindness to His creation and giving to relatives. This is how people from different backgrounds and traditions are able to accept Islam by our Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Unconditional acceptance (respect) of world religious practices and balancing what is just to every living creatures. This is "Din of Islam".

Follow this rule....

O mankind, indeed We have created you
from male and female <- differences - What we can learn from husband & wife relationship?
and made you peoples How they can build family and unite under one roof?
and tribes How they balance their differences? Protect each other.
What about different species of animals? How they live?
that you may know one another <- unite and learn how to balance our life from others

Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah
is the most righteous of you <- justly balanced
Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

Other forms of Shirk

The Flow of Ideas

Basically, Shirk relates to "ideas" that are inconsistent and against the ideas in the Qur'an. It is the "gods and ulamas inside ourselves" that count. Nothing can harm our relationship with Allah if we are not accepting these inconsistent "ideas" (<a href="http//quran.com/5/105">5105</a&gt.

Consequence Self Acceptance Human Ideas Self Action (Conduct)
vs. Qur'an Ideas

No Shirk <- Internal Self <- Consistent <- Prophet Sulaiman build statues
(Acceptance) Ideas for communication (<a href="http//quran.com/34/10-16">3410-16</a&gt

Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Stone as God
(Acceptance) Ideas

Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Fire as God
(Acceptance) Ideas

Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Shiva as God
(Acceptance) Ideas

Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Jesus as God
(Acceptance) Ideas

Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Follow the Ulama (Arbab)
(Acceptance) Ideas (<a href="http//quran.com/3/150">3150</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/3/64">364</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/17/56-57">1756-57</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/23/47">2347</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/40/29">4029</a&gt
http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
Gods & Ulamas (<a href="http//quran.com/45/23">4523</a&gt
(Personal Adviser)
http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
Level for Determination
http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
"..Allah has not put for any man two hearts inside his body.." (<a href="http//quran.com/33/4">334</a&gt
http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
Heart

Therefore, the gods and ulamas are within ourselves. It is the "ideas" that are inconsistent with the Qur'anic Ideas.

Therefore our primary question in life is how far we are able to control the ideas within ourselves?

For the sake of testing ourselves and to realize the gods and ulamas inside ourselves, try to stop eating, drinking and sleeping for 3 straight days (72 hours). Are we able to achieve this target or we are still hypocrites? This is not suggested by the Qur'an, and only a simple self-test to prove the existence of gods and ulamas inside ourselves. A simple test to realize the flow of ideas within ourselves and how far we are able to control these ideas.

Do the people think
that they will be left to say,
"We believe"
and they will not be tried?

But We have certainly tried those before them
and Allah will surely make evident
those who are truthful
and He will surely make evident
the liars

Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
Evil is what they judge
(<a href="http//quran.com/29/2-4">292-4</a&gt

"...Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior..." (334)

Indeed, IT IS A NOBLE QURAN
In a protected Book <- if Allah says it is protected, who can unlock its true understanding?
None can grasp it
except those purified (from Shirk) <- the key to understand the true meaning of the Qur'an
(5677-79)

Level of understanding the Qur'an - on the standard of justly balanced
Shirk (%) |<-- 100--> 90 --> 80 --> 70 --> 60 --> 50 --> 40 --> 30 --> 20 --> 10 -->| 0%
Qur'an (%) |<-- 0 --> 10 --> 20 --> 30 --> 40 --> 50 --> 60 --> 70 --> 80 --> 90 -->| 100%

Peace Brother,

Allah's Names by Just 99 Names ?. I think you are referring Hadith

Salam jhonsonmustafa,

Yes brother, for easy understanding and this thread is not related to Asma Ul Husna. You can open a new thread to discuss in depth about the names/attributes of Allah.

As for this thread, I'm referring to what is generally accepted by Muslim.

It is translated as The Best Identifiers ( 208 )

What is "Identifiers"?

one that identifies

Noun 1. identifier - a symbol that establishes the identity of the one bearing it
symbol - an arbitrary sign (written or printed) that has acquired
a conventional significance

Therefore, must Allah names/attributes be specific?

Not necessarily be specific names/attributes, and it is sufficient for us to understand Allah's attributes.

Further, there is nothing wrong to refer to a hadith on "the standard of justly balanced" (or refer to other religious books, and so as other books that relates to science, mathematics, philosophy, economy etc.), unless to those who belong to sects or religious dogma, whatever their names are (label/illusion).

Peace brother.

p/s If you don't mind.. I would like to ask "Whether waiting/hoping for a Messenger or savior to come and save us is a Shirk?" What is your opinion on the matter?

For religious people.. yes, but I am not religious people, sorry.

Just and balance has no religion and it is the Deen of Islam.

Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion. So as Muhammad, not a Jew/Christian (religion).
nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
a Muslim <- defined by the above ayat - an upright man - obedience and justly balanced.
and he was not one of the polytheists <- Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim
are those
who followed him
and this Prophet
and those who believe
and Allah is the guardian of the believers
(367-6

I'm from Malaysia and practicing all faiths that are glorifying just and balance, whether it is from the hadith, other sects or any other religions. Islam rejects the idea of religion and the only way to reject all religions is to accept all religions. Peace!! )

And set forth to them a parable of two men
for one of them We made two gardens of grape vines
and We surrounded them both with palms
and in the midst of them We made cornfields

Both these gardens yielded their fruits
and failed not aught thereof
and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst

And he possessed much wealth

so he said to his companion, while he disputed with him

I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers <- Shirk? This is what most people
https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif would say. Greater wealth,
And he entered his garden https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif knowledge, skills, family etc.
while he was unjust to himself, He said <- On the issue of justly balanced within ourselves.
I do not think that this will ever perish <- This is also what most people would say.
And I do not think the hour will come i.e. not come within the next few hours, days, years etc.
and even if I am returned to my Lord <- Same, and most people believe they will be in Paradise.
I will most certainly find a returning place better than this Proof that he believe in Allah and the
Hour will come, but not in his lifetime.
His companion said to him while disputing with him

Do you disbelieve in Him <- Shirk?
Who created you from dust
then from a small seed
then He made you a perfect man?

But as for me
He, Allah, is my Lord
and I do not associate anyone with my Lord <- Who is "anyone" in this story context? Self?

And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden
It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah?
If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children
Then maybe my Lord will give me what is better than your garden

and send on it a thunderbolt from heaven
so that it shall become even ground without plant
Or its waters should sink down into the ground
so that you are unable to find it
And his wealth was destroyed
so he began to wring his hands
for what he had spent on it
while it lay, having fallen down upon its roofs, and he said

Ah me! would that I had not associated anyone with my Lord
And he had no host to help him besides Allah
nor could he defend himself

Here is protection only Allah's
the True One
He is best in (the giving of) reward
and best in requiting

And set forth to them parable of the life of this world
like water which We send down from the cloud
so the herbage of the earth
becomes tangled on account of it
then it becomes dry broken into pieces which the winds scatter
and Allah is the holder of power over all things

Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of this world
and the ever-abiding
the good works
are better with your Lord in reward
and better in expectation

Therefore our primary question in life is how far we are able to control the ideas within ourselves?

Shirk in the form of a very fine, the pleasure felt while dzikr, salat or ibada etc, and which motivates us to do more ibada, salat or dzikr etc. It is so because our ibada will not be because of Allah, but because of the excitement performing ibada etc, ie. self. However, this is not necessarily damaging since we will be divided into three groups (567-10). It is just something to be taken into consideration, by those who wish to find the ultimate truth.

And the soul and Him Who made it perfect
Then He inspired it
to understand
what is right
and wrong for it
He will indeed be successful who purifies it
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it
(917-10)

Smart and brilliant people can never know reality and Allah. Because they are too smart.

And rely on Allah
and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior.
(333-4)

Our glass will first need to be emptied and clean.
(100% obedience and free from shirk)

http//s14.postimg.org/tp4not4vl/glasses.png

Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth
a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp
the lamp is in a glass
(and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star
lit from a blessed olive-tree
neither eastern nor western
the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not
light upon light
Allah guides to His light whom He pleases
and Allah sets forth parables for men
and Allah is Cognizant of all things
(2435)

muslims

The key to understand justly balanced is always in the opposite condition (understanding of right and wrong, good or evil etc.), and mostly and mostly attainable at the highest level of condition. For example

To understand Ar-Rahman (The All-Compassionate) ...
We must fully understand the condition and "pleasure" of being treated harshly; (0).

To understand Ar-Rahim (The All-Merciful) ...
We must fully understand the condition and "pleasure" of being treated cruelly; (0).

To understand Al-`Adl (The Just) ...
We must fully understand the condition and "pleasure" of being treated unjustly; (0).

and so on..

It was a tough one but only through this process our heart (glass) can become empty and we will rely entirely on Allah (no other option). Otherwise, we are relying on ourselves (ego) or others, not Allah.

Say He has power to send torment on you <- how Allah guide us to what is just and balance?
from above
or from under your feet
or to cover you with confusion in party strife
and make you to taste
the violence of one another
See how variously We explain the Ayat
so that they may understand.
(665)

Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

By no means shall you attain to righteousness
until you spend (benevolently)
out of what you love
and whatever thing you spend
Allah surely knows it
(392)

And they ask you as to what they should spend (sadaqah)
Say What you can spare
Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications
that you may ponder
(2219)

The recommended method for obedience of the Qur'an is initially through mastering the ibada of fasting (days), sadaqah, reading the Qur'an or dzikr and while doing good to others.

This is the Book (the Quran)
whereof there is no doubt
a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun <- The first condition to understand the Qur'an.
(22) Other than Al-Muttaqun?

Therefore, first objective = becoming Al-Muttaqun

Fast "..decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you
that you may become righteous.." (2183)

Sadaqah "..Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them
and cause them increase.." (9103)

And in no way will you (even) be a guide to the blind out of their errancy
decidedly you will not make any to hear
except for the ones who believe in Our signs
and so they are Muslims (i.e., those that surrender to Allah)

This is the Day of Judgement
We will have assembled you and the former peoples
So if you have a plan, then plan against Me
Woe, that Day, to the deniers
Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs
And fruits from whatever they desire
, "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do"
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
Woe, that Day, to the deniers
, eat and enjoy yourselves a little
indeed, you are criminals
Woe, that Day, to the deniers
And when it is said to them, "Bow," (ir'ka) they do not bow
Woe, that Day, to the deniers
Then in what statement after the Qur'an will they believe? <- relating to those who deny the
(7738-50) Day of Judgement? Doing good?

ir'ka
= Ra-Kaf-Ayn = bowed, bent, incline, humility, humble yourself, lower the head, fell upon his face, stumbled.

And I don't understand why are referring to 22.

This is the Book about which there is no doubt
a guidance for those conscious of Allah
(22)

Where did Allah say it is shirk to follow what is justly balance?

Where did Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

that they would believe for you
while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah

"Setting up partners" is not exclusive to the act of "creation". It's the setting up of partners of ANY kind including partners in source of guidance.

Hadith should be treated like any essay or article here on free-minds. Otherwise, you're risking setting up partners with God.

Salam nonplus,

I know and I'm rejecting unjust hadith (refer here).

However, Allah prohibits us to deny what justly balanced (for example, 7738-50 above).

To reject what is justly balanced on sectarian basis, is no difference than to be a sectarian itself.

It is a religion of Islam, and not a deen of Islam.

Therefore, can you give me an ayat that Allah prohibit us to follow what is justly balanced?

Can you give me an ayat where Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

Peace brother.

And who believe in what has been revealed to you
and what was revealed before you
and of the Hereafter they are certain

believe in the Qur'an <- Condition to be regarded as a believer of the Qur'an

who write the Book with their own hands <- much like the hadith itself
and then say
"This is from God"
to traffic with it for a miserable price!
Woe to them for what their hands do write
and for the gain they make thereby
(279

Follow or not to follow?

And before it was the scripture of Moses to lead
and as a mercy
And this is a confirming Book <- What is a confirming book? Its functions/implications?
in an Arabic tongue
to warn those who have wronged
and as good tidings to the doers of good
(4612)

And We have revealed to you
the Book in truth
confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture
and as a criterion over it <- How do these "Criterion Systems" works? Reject them all together?
So judge between them by what Allah has revealed <- Allah says "judge", evaluate, not rejects.
and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth
To each of you We prescribed a law and a method <- Other rules are also from Allah? Good? Bad?
Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation <- Allah refers to "nation"
but to test you in what He has given you <- What is the test from Allah? Rejection?
so race to good <- Allah considers there is good from another book or sect etc.?
To Allah is your return all together
and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ <- Who'll inform? You?
