You will find many articles like that with assumptions, interpolations, confirmation bias etc, not just regarding salat
Some of them from that article are discussed in this article
http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/problems-5-salat-Quran.htmlHaving said that, I do not think its a bad article. It had some insights.

peace,
i find most articles on Salat are generally biased, and or make assumptions. I am currently In the process of doing a in depth study of Salat in the Quran, to determine for myself its true meaning and practice, timings, associations etc. especially after reading 'The natural republic' which raised some interesting points i will need to clarify. God is forgiving and merciful, so dont worry your not the only one LOL. i am not satisfied with my own or many others understanding of salat either. God willing i will update on my findings when i have done a bit more in depth research.
peace.

Peace kenybanez,
Peace be upon you, Okay so I have been confuse about salahfor a very long time now and I read this article somewhere before and it explains how to do salah in a quranic way. Please read http//www.quranaloneislam.net/salat
If I can give you any advice, it would be to be patient, ask God for guidance and read a lot about true islam (monotheism). I think it is natural to have some unanswered questions about Salat, in the beginning of ones journey to find true islam (monotheism). But if you read a lot about true islam (monotheism), then your unanswered questions might slowly but surely be answered. I believe that "knowledge expels ignorance, just as light removes darkness." Just like you, I also had some unanswered questions about Salat (and other topics as well) in the beginning of my journey to find true islam (monotheism). But I was patient, asked God for guidance and read a lot about true islam (monotheism). In addition to that, I spread the message of true islam to others. You can read about why it might be very important to spread the message of true islam (monotheism) to others, in this post.
The article you shared in your post is decent, in my opinion. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of articles about Salat that are biased and are not based on Quranic evidence/proof. It seems that there are few articles about Salat that are solely based on the Quran.
In my view, a very good post about the meaning of Salat, is this post. Also, see this post. I deeply recommend reading those posts. Read them and let me hear what you think.
Keep in mind that the information in the above-mentioned posts do not necessarily reflect my view on the quran. I strongly recommend questioning/verifying what one reads and follow the best interpretation; as the Quran has advised us to do (see verse 3918 and 1736).
By the way, I deeply recommend reading the old articles on the old free-minds page.

Taro Hiroshi "But if you read a lot about true islam (monotheism)"
Could you please point me to where I can read about true Islam (other than Quran in arabic)? As I noticed everyone that tries to translate it is doing it from their own perspective and current state of mind? Should I depend on the someone's speed of development and if this person after ten years starts to think differently we will all be victims of his translations (as we are today by the traditional translations that we have).
