Salat According to the Quran and a Critical Remark
-
Salam All ,
Continuation of the argument n?1
Part two of the word Ruk3
The word Ruk3 consist of two roots Ru k 3
-
First root rk Ruk3 , i already showed what the root rk stand for and how is it connected to the meaning of Ruk3 mean kneeling on the ground .
-
Second root k3 Ruk3
What does the root k3 stand for and how is it connected to the physical movement of Ruk3 / kneeling ?
We read in the qur'an the usage of the root k3 in some words , notably
al-ka3bah
- 5 - 97
597{ Allah has made the Ka?bah, the inviolable House, standing for the people and the inviolable months and the gifts and the garlands . That is so you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that Allah is Knowing of all things.}
Ka3bah is the prominent place made as inviolable house
al-ka3bayeen
- 5 - 6
56 { O you who have believed, when you rise to Salah, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.}

ka3b is the prominent bones at the ankles , and k3 is the prominent bones after the hand known in English as the wrist bone . Notice the pronunciation of other prominent bones .
k3b
- 78 - 33
7833 {And voluptuous women of equal age}
k3b women with prominent full breasted shape..etc
As we see the root k3 has a physical connection with being prominent
prom?i?nence
pr?mnns/Valider
noun
1.
the state of being important or famous.
"she came to prominence as an artist in the 1960s"
synonyms fame, celebrity, eminence, preeminence, importance, distinction, greatness, note, notability, prestige, stature, standing, position, rank More
2.
the fact or condition of standing out from something by physically projecting or being particularly noticeable.
"radiographs showed enlargement of the right heart with prominence of the pulmonary outflow tract"Many of the prominent bones at the arms and the foot has the root k3 as part of its names , as this bones are prominent , we notably remark the ankles (al-ka3bayeen ) pair of ka3bb and the wrist bone ( al-k3ayen) , pair of k3
What is the connection with the movement of Ruk3 and the two prominent bones ka3b / ankles and k3 / wrist bone
We saw in the previous post that the root rk in the movement of Ruk3 is connected to the movement of al-rukbatyeen / The knees single of rukbah / The knee , its evident that when someone is kneeling to the ground he has to use his hand as support as it's harmful to kneel down on the ground from a standing position with no hand support unlike the animals human use their hands , so it i evident that the hands are used most precisely the pressure and the articulation is on the and al-k3 / wrist bone , also there is pressure and articulation on the ka3b / ankles .
So there are two root that are in the word Ruk k3 indicate two movement one following the other
**First the movement legs with the pleating ( breaking )of the knees al-rukbatyen
** second the movement of arms through the support and the articulation of the wrist bone al-k3
There is also support and base from al-b3 and al-kurs3 and al-3arkb see the image above for demonstration .
Yes correct , two definite time + The night ( can have as many salah as someone can or wish )
And it is as follow

To be continued ...with argument n?2
Thank you, you were right, I needed to have some patience to learn more of your arguments.
So far, it is very interesting to me that you graphically showed the prescribed THREE TIMES for the Salat. Now I am looking forward to see the explanation HOW is it DONE...
Looking forward to the continuation. -

What type of a noun is
Salam brother Mazhar ,
From the Atlantic ocean to the Arabian gulf the dialect pronunciation is salah , the last letter / sound is h ; h for hotel not th for talk . it is the same noun as zakah and hayah which is similarly pronounced officially and academically ( what is considered as classical Arabic ) zakat , salat , hayat ...every word that ends with h in classical arabic they put two dots on the top of the h and they pronounce it t and they call it " "" "T" marbah "bound t "
I explained my view regarding this on the link qoute below
http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9604247.msg306759#msg306759
Al-Salwah is written that way in the Quran i have between my hand , there is a "H" at the end it should be pronounced "H" not "t " , all words that end with the what is know as " "" "T" marbah "bound t " should be pronounced as "H"
All this should be prounced "H"
My understanding is that there is nothing called " "" "T" marbah "bound t " at the end of a word the " T" sound / phenetic when its at the end is only "t maftah ( , meaning "open t ". , always written as below
Position in word Isolated Final Medial Initial
Glyph formExamples for "t " at the end of the word
Al-Salawat
Al-aa'deyat
Al-Moreyat
Al-MoghiratExemple for "h" at then end of the word wrongly prononced "t" and wrongly named "t" bounded t/
Al-Salawah not Al-salat
Al-Zakawah not Al-zakat
Al-Madinah not Al-Madinato or Al-Madinatti
Al-Madrassah not Al-Madrassato or Al-MadrassatiAs you can notice there is diffrence between Al-Salawah and Al-Salawat and the verse 2-238 is clearly mentioning that
2-238
other thing is that the concept of pronouncing words that end with "H" and pronounced it as "t " if its true then all word ending with "H" should be pronounced with "t " at the end so you have to pronounce
Allah as Allat
You can see what is the difference
I would like to highlight that the h in salah is pronounced very very softly with no push , it is the same pronunciation for the word allh
The two dots on the top of the h are diacritics was added later , this calligraphy is known as "othmanic" design narrated by "ouarsh" by the united Moroccan Tunisian Algerian African calligraphy ?confirmed by alAzhar-egypt

surah 2 verse 3http//imageshack.us/a/img823/3252/o91v.png
surah 2 verse 43http//imageshack.us/a/img21/9756/y8oc.png
surah 2 verse 96I am not saying that how you should pronounced it but in our dialect we say salah not salat same as any word finishing with h what is known in classical Arabic as bounded th .
A 2 question dear Mazhar
Does the words in the Qur'an ending with the symbol should the last pronunciation be h for hotel or th for talk ?
What is the logic behind having two different symbols of one same pronunciation , i mean the bounded which is pronounced th and the openwhich is also pronounced th ?what is the logic behind ?

+salaam brother Alkitab
I am preparing this in the easy and simple to understand lessons of the Book (al-kitaab) and will upload soon inshaa ALLAAH. There is a big difference between the two in the Book (al-kitaab)
Just for now here is a quick example.
There is a line of numbers here represented by points.
. . . . . . . . . . >
every point represents the Arabic letter t (taa' but the last point is always represented by the Arabic letter T (Taa'. The whole (from the beginning point to the end point) is represented by the Arabic letter H (Haa'
When one began the journey and did not reach the end then we use H
When the journey has ended then we use t.
R = the person
. . . R . . . . . .H
. . . . . . . . . R.t
That is a small hint.

Salam All ,
For those who are still doubting that there is no salah during daylight time , as per 1778
The verses is clearly distinguishing between two times Night & Daylight
The kye to understand this is the two opposite expression
*** 1 - 3alyk = Upon you / over you / something you have to do ( upon those who believe ) ***
Against
*** 2 - Lak = For you / To you / for your favor / gift for you ***
What is Upon you and what is For you ?

Any Periods of Nights you wish is upon you / 3alyk for salah (upon those who belive )And that is per

Salaam best brother alkitab,
I have had problems ruling out daily prayers during daylight. Perhaps my sources and understanding has deceived me. I think even if they are not compulsory then at least they are expected out of pious believers.
God bless you

Salam Brother Man of Faith ,
Exactley it's not working during the day
The fact that the daylight is for life and personal occupation make perfect sens , naturally people are busy during the day , unlike during the night in which activity get reduced , but with today's way of life and entertainment especially in cities you make no difference between day & night
736 (Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence , and more suitable for words.)

Quote from Mazhar on Yesterday at 095154 am
What type of a noun isSalamun alaika, AlKitab.
Question remained unanswered since you concentrated on calligraphy-ta marbuta etc.
Salam Mazhar ,
If you still do not see any clarification in what i wrote and the conversation at the link below , then i recommend you kindly tell me what is your understanding and what noun are you looking for ? what do you find wrong in what i wrote ?
by the way what do you mean by
What type of a noun is
You do not know what type ? or you looking for something else ? be straight , go ahead .

Salam, Alkitab,
Pl refer your preceding post.
I hope you remember wherefrom you had picked up the sentence and explained about it.
Quote from Man of Faith on September 29, 2013, 032734 am
Salaam,Perhaps this forum has made some further breakthroughs in understanding the Truth. Good work!
I had suspected for quite a while that the prayer is intended to be more of a meditation than the salat traditionalists perform. I had previously worked on making the salat less ritualistic and more about meditation and this may prove I was not doing wrong. It is true that concentration is very important during salat, and the counting and moves distract the practitioner quite much. Focus on what you are really intended to do with the salat instead, like establishing a connection.
God bless you
I raised the querry in this regard
What type of a noun is
How can it be related to meditation?
Have you seen some stupid fellow meditating while standing still on two feet?
Leave it aside.
You may enlighten me about its formation. What I see seems Waw of Root is retained, its vowel is omitted; dagger alif is placed on sakin waw, and then Ta marboota is added perhaps to indicate that waw and not Ya is the original consonant of the root.Can you please help by elaborating the rules for in respect of nouns of Roots with last radical Waw?

The ones who invented the ritual Salat are the same ones who invented the story of Muhammad riding the winged horse to the 7th Heaven and receiving the prayer obligation.
The same people you were talking about also compiled the Quran. The last time I read it was not Archangel Gabriel (as) handing a compiled 114 chaptered Quran.
You guys are inventing a new religion from scratch using verses picked up from the Quran and using modern conventional language to understand the words used, brilliance i must say.
I saw many pictures from camels to human legs with Arabic names. Next you will add an illustrated Quran, that will be nice.
I am deeply saddened by the plight of the Muslims here, the Quran lays general rules and it is open to interpretation and refinement through explanations provided by the Holy Messenger (sawa), i am sure you are not that naive to assume that people did not go back to the Prophet (sawa) for clarification on Quranic verses which were unclear to them.
What if I say the Quran did not mention all the type of birds, can i deny the existence of the birds not mentioned in the Quran?

Grand Qur'aan defines and classifies as to what the birds are. This definition and classification is final; same is in the 21st century classification of animal kingdom.
The questions that were asked are also mentioned in the Qur'aan and what explanation or response was given by the elevated universal Messenger sws is incorporated in Qur'aan.
None except Allah the Exalted and the Elevated Messenger compiled the Qur'aan.

Salaam,
Rather discarding the Quran and living by intuition completely than following traditional Islam.
As long as you believe in God alone, eternal existence and act as a good person there is no problem at all. Quran was meant as a help to know a little bit more in depth how to be good. If you already follow basically (to the gist) what Jesus says in the corrupted Gospel, then there is nothing to fear. There is an unhealthy stigma around Quran for some reason.
It contains the same Message that was there all the time and not much to argue about. Focus is on behavior and deeds in case you had missed God's point.
The Torah, Psalms, Gospel and Quran were all signs from God and if you follow them for the betterment of your soul and mind then you grasped the Message. The Quran seems to be the only intact physical testament of God we have with us today, but the main purpose of them is to convince the intelligent that God exists and is for real.
But the meaning of the Quranic passages are corrupted, so even if Quran is intact we cannot fully trust what we read. Shaytaan could not corrupt the contents as God promised to keep one revelation uncorrupted, but instead he used man's weakness when it comes to distorting the Truth instead by twisting the meaning of the scripture's words. It is a different kind of corruption with Quran than the previous revelations and the fault is with humans.
But if you study all material you have especially the Quran you can clearly see that the most important aspect is YOU and your actions and conduct. I need not clarify more as it can easily be understood by studying the texts.
Whether Muhammad existed or not is irrelevant or whatever salat this ancient person did. We live in the 21st century and it is a new community and not Muhammad's. The prophet of Quran had his job and we have ours. He delivered the Quran and that was his service and he was probably rewarded for that.
If this Shia human worshiper wants to focus on his masters let him do that. But if he threatens you say that God suffices me. You need only God and His Message as guidance. Trust that God guides you straight. I am sure if you just put your absolute faith in Him alone He will prevent you from walking astray as long as you follow His Message of Peace.
God bless you

What makes you to believe that this Qur'aan is the word of Allah the Exalted; and not of Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam as many people suggest and also finds mention of this allegation in Qur'aan itself?

Can you please provide for us NABI MUHAMMAD'S FULL AND COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATION OF THE QURAN?
Where is such an explanation? Is it to be found in the contradictory books of tradition and "tafseer" that the Shias and Sunnis resort to?
Go now and visit any Islamic library, and you will found 100 different tafseers of the Quran. You will find, among others
Tafseer Ibn Katheer
Tafseer Qurtubi
Tafseer Jalalayn
Tafseer al-Razi
Tafseer al-Tabtabaiy
Tafseer Sayyed Qutb
Tafseer al-Shirazi
Tafseer al-Tabari
Tafseer Ibn Mas3oudAnd the list goes on and on. What is the purpose of all these "tafseer" references, as you call them? And why do they all contradict each other? If Muhammad (P) did indeed explain the Quran, as you are claiming, then what is the need for all these others? Should they not all be discarded to the garbage can?
Failure to produce the so-called TAFSEER Al-NABI MUHAMMAD is a testament to the falsehood uttered by the sectarians, who have resorted to references penned down by men, centuries after Muhammad's day and age, transmitted through word-of-mouth hearsay that no sane mind can accept. Your so-called "science of hadeeth" is a farce, and an insult to human intelligence.
The same people you were talking about also compiled the Quran.
They did no such thing. All they did was make commentaries on it and place the dialectic marks over its silent letters.
i am sure you are not that naive to assume that people did not go back to the Prophet (sawa) for clarification on Quranic verses which were unclear to them.
They didn't need to, because the Quran was revealed in their own tongue; and not in some foreign, alien language that needed a translator. As for the symbolic and metaphoric signs in the Quran, the Quran ITSELF tells us that we should ponder over their meanings, and reflect, and that not all people are equal in intellect. And this command to ponder and reflect is as much valid today as it was during the era of the Quran's revelation (which I am beginning to seriously doubt was the 7th Century to begin with). The claim that Muhammad gave the final and full interpretation of the Quran defeats the purpose of Allah's commands.
Regards.

Salaam,
No. I do not believe that the Quran was Muhammad's own words. He delivered a Message and was a delivery boy, even though a special kind.
Muhammad wrote Quran's passages, but it is narration from God.
What Muhammad was instructed to say was explicitly told in Quran and he did not just say anything. God helped Muhammad how he could reach the contemporary people.
Quran remains as a good testament still as of today and can be used for help on how to be as a human being.
God bless you
