    Peace,

    I am just curious as to why the traditional salat is labeled as a form of "idol worship" by many people here? If you think about it AFAIK, when Sunni's pray that way, they are reciting Quran verses, not hadith verses and they are bowing to God saying God is Great, God be glorified, etc...then why is it wrong?

      Yes, 2458 is addressed to the believers because it's about the privacy of the parents. Children shouldn't go into their parents room without permission before morning oration (early in the morning) and after late-night oration of the Quran.

      This is what I understand from the verse.

        Peace,

        I think the Quran in whole is addressed to anyone who wishes to seek and follow GOD's path. You said

        All these verses are addressed to the prophet, not to us. We don't have to recite Allah's word to Him again. That's nonsensical.

        This is like Quranic abrogation! SALAT is meant to order us and command us like it ORDERED one of the messengers mentioned in the Quran. That way we learn and reflect about what we have heard. The Quran is recited for our own benefit and salat is for our own benefit. None of this is for GOD and HE doesn't need any of this or our words. This is for our own progress and success not to help GOD, He created this for us to succeed.

        Peace

        Nural

          033.052 It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor to change them for (other) wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess (as handmaidens) and Allah doth watch over all things.

          Is this addressed to everyone as well?

          Peace

              I changed my view on 1187 after reading Wakas's more rational explanation of the verse. That verse belongs to the "oration" category too.

              1. "And my people, give full measure and weight with justice, and do not hold back from the people what is theirs, and do not roam the land corrupting"

              2. "What will remain for you with God is far better if you are believers. And I am not a guardian over you"

              3. They said "O Shu'ayb, does your oration instruct you that we leave what our fathers served, or that we do not do with our money as we please? You are the compassionate, the sane!"

              How can you hate Spongebob, TheNabi? He's hilarious.

                Salaam Born,

                Well I'm being judgemental here because I think he dresses and acts like a fag. His name is also fruity 'Sponge Bob Squarepants'. I dunno many dudes or any really who like Sponge Bob, but many females, grown ones too, who do. So I'm assuming you're a female?
