What does the root 3bd (ع ب د) means as per Quran?
-
thats why i parantese it , i dont have a name for this "ritual" thats why i use this name...
Be patient brother. We have to go one step at a time to make the discussion meaningful. I can feel your excitement but my experience with discussions is that we go astray and branch off from the basics. Lets see what As-salat means in Quran first.
btw 3bd ( د not the same as Salat or is it ?
3bd ( د
The meaning of this root are to act with heartfelt inclination, with some difficulty in the beginning but beneficial result at the end.d lm ww ( و
The meaning of this root are to follow closely.So an abd will be the one following closely with heartfelt inclination with some difficulty in the beginning but beneficial results at the end.

Qoran clearly inform us that "Iquami Salat" was a gift from Him in response to Abraham s request
"Rabbi Ijalnui "Muquimi Salat" Wa min Dhurriati, Rabbana Wa Takabbal Duaai"Why?
Simply because it is a food for our soul. among other things it is helping our soul to growBrother our soul get growth when we give growth to our surrounding.
Have you felt the pleasure after feeding a hungry person or after helping a needy? That pleasure give growth to our soul.
There is no growth of our selves if our surrounding is in misery. We can have pseudo satisfaction by following empty rituals but it does not serve the purpose of revealing the guidance.
While this discussion is going on we can try to help people in need around us to give growth to our souls. That will be a practical demonstration of feeling the pleasure.

Peace Imran.
Please bring me the post/s where I claimed this, quote(2+2)+4+4+3+4 = 19 lol and u also claimed five salat isnt it thats what all i say about ur understanding. if i m wrong then tell your new understanding of sala? thanks in advace.
and i was thinking one thing how come 17 rakas turn into 19 ? as far i know the fard rakas of sunni sala is 2 on salat al fajar they added two more sunnas as raka . explain me this one as well olease i know its bit offtopic but it will help us understanding your view point.I claimed that my understanding of Qoran gives 5 "Aquimi Salat" and I gave verses, I never mixed 17 raka with 19?
Like I have shown you numerous times, you are not reading my posts properly.
Please bring what I said exactly(quote it) ,then we can discuss it.
GOD bless you.
Peace. -
Please see my Reply 5 in this thread. It seems basically your disagreement with me in this question is not abour 3-b-d but rather about the word "worship" in English.
Salaam sister huruf
This is what I have learned regarding 3bd. In Quranic study it would be the one who act as per God's guidance with heartfelt inclination (No compulsion in Deen) with some difficulty in the beginning but beneficial result at the end.

Salat has different meaning according to the context and subject of the verses with "Salat" in them.
Here are three different examples with three different meanings of the word Salat in them
1-
835
Their SALAT( PRAYER) at the Beyt were no more than a mockery and a means of repelling the people (by crowding them out). Therefore, suffer the retribution for your disbelief.2-
3343
He is the One who-YUSALLI- helps/supports you, together with His angels, to lead you out of darkness into the light. He is Most Merciful towards the believers.3-
",,,KULLUN KAD ALIMA SALATAHU WA TASBIHAHU."
?This SALATAHU cannot mean the same as the other two because it includes what birds do. We know birds do not "Aquimi salat".
For instructing the contact prayer ,Qoran uses "Aquimi Salat" like
7320
Your Lord knows that you meditate during two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, and so do some of those who believed with you. God has designed the night and the day, and He knows that you cannot always do this. He has pardoned you. Instead, you shall read what you can of the Quran. He knows that some of you may be ill, others may be traveling in pursuit of God's provisions, and others may be striving in the cause of God. You shall read what you can of it, and AQUIMI SALAT, give the Zakat, and lend God a loan of righteousness. Whatever good you send ahead on behalf of your souls, you will find it at God far better and generously rewarded. And implore God for forgiveness. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.As for "Dhikr" in here
It means Reminder(Qoran is called the dhikr in many verses as you know)
Aquimi Salat Lidhikri is not the same meaning. (To remember/ recall...)- i.e Dhikru Allah-
GOD bless you.

The word should reflect meaning of the root it is derived from.

The meaning of this root are to follow closely.835
And their following (salat) was nothing but meaningless sounds (root mm kf ww و and pusuit/attention (root d dl y used at 806 so you pursue/give attention to him)

Don't you see whoever is in the heavens and earth strives for Him (acts as per prgram revealed to him) and the bird in rows, everyone knew its salat (what to follow) and its strive and God is the one who has knowledge with what you do.Rest will follows in sha'a Allah

My understanding this Salat is physical.4102 is saying to a group of soldiers at war that it is fine if they shorten their prayer by taking turn praying after the leader always leaving part of the group vigilant/watching over the group doing the physical Salat.
This is made clear in here-4103 ? ..
When you are at peace and secure(war is over) Aquimi Salat at the specific times as per the norm.
It does not make any sense to me otherwise.
Let s see though what others can offer from their understanding.
GOD bless you.

Your explanation of 835 has no meaning , look againAnd their following (salat) was nothing but meaningless sounds (root mm kf ww و and pusuit/attention (root d dl y used at 806 so you pursue/give attention to him)
so taste the punishment for you used to hide (the truth).First following what? you omitted "Inda Al Beyt- all together. So they were only following Inda Al Beyt? What about elsewhere? Can you see the problem brother?
This Beyt is identified elsewhere as "Maquamu Ibrahim" and they took "Mussalla" in it . i.e a Prayer place.
2125
We have rendered the Beyt a focal point for the people, and a safe sanctuary. You may use Maquamu Abraham as a prayer house. We commissioned Abraham and Ismail "You shall purify Beyti for those who visit, those who live there, and those who bow and prostrate."2226
We appointed Abraham to establish the Beyt "You shall not idolize any other god beside Me, and purify My Beyt for those who visit it, those who live near it, and those who bow and prostrate.Can you see that when you ignored translating "Inda Al Beyt"_ it did not give the coniext of Salat in 835?
You are using "to follow" as a meaning for all the Salat words and trying to fit an idea but it does not fit the context.
Sorry brother. I does not make sense to me .
GOD bless you.

That is your assumption brother. Verse is saying that their ritual...their salat...their following... indal baiti was meaningless.

Is Maqame Ibraheem a physical place?
5546
wa liman khafa maqama rabbihi jannatanIs maqama rabbihi a physical place in 5546?
It will keep on creating more questions. So lets stick to the basic question.
How do you take salat=physical prayer and if so then where is the verse in Quran giving details of this physical ritual?
If no verse then how to perform this physical ritual without blindly following elders?

To follow what?You know follow in Arabic is "Ittabihu"!!!
You know brother "Maquam" can be both physical and abstract(system...) The Maquam Abraham is Al Beyt the context of the verses indicate to me it is a physical place and a system
2127
As Abraham raised the foundations of the Beyt, together with Ismail (they prayed) "Our Lord, accept this from us. You are the Hearer, the Omniscient.Just like Masjid can also be a physical place as well as non physical depending on the context and sometimes it holds both meanings, like
2114
Who are more evil than those who boycott God's masjids, where His name is commemorated, and contribute to their desertion? These ought not to enter therein except fearfully. They will suffer in this life humiliation, and will suffer in the Hereafter a terrible retribution.Let me give this brief history from Qoran
The practices of our Deen(including Salat) have been preserved in their basic form since the time of Abraham despite the efforts of corruption and distortion by idol worshipers and disbelievers. Each messenger who came after Abraham purified and followed these practices in accordance with God?s will, making sure that all practices are devoted to God alone.
1435
Recall that Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my children from Nabudu idols.1436
"My Lord, they have misled so many people. As for those who follow me, they belong with me. As for those who disobey me, You are Forgiver, Most Merciful.1437
"Our Lord, I have settled part of my family in this plantless valley, at Your Sacred House. Our Lord, they are to AquimiSalat, so let throngs of people converge upon them, and provide for them all kinds of fruits, that they may be appreciative....
1440
"My Lord, make me one who consistently Muqueem Salat, and also my children. Our Lord, please answer my prayers.Followed down the line
And mention in the scripture Ismail. He was truthful when he made a promise, and he was a messenger prophet. He used to enjoin his family to observe the Salat and theZakat; he was acceptable to his Lord. (1954-55)We inspired Moses and his brother. "Maintain your homes in Egypt for the time being, turn your homes into synagogues, and AQUIMU SALAT . Give good news to the believers.
She pointed to him. They said, "How can we talk with an infant in the crib?" (The infant spoke and) said, "I am a servant of God. He has given me the scripture, and has appointed me a prophet. He made me blessed wherever I go, and enjoined me to AQUIMI SALAT and the Zakat for as long as I live.
Down the line to Mohammed
Muhammad A Follower of Abraham*16123
Then we inspired you (Muhammad) to follow the religion of Abraham,* the monotheist; he never was an idol worshiper.Simply that all religious practices, which came to us through Abraham, were intact at the time of Muhammed except what Qoran corrected.
Salat was already established and taught from generation to generation . Actually 835 (Salatuhum Inda Al Beyt stems all the way back to Abraham. But obviously "idol worship/corruption entered it. It was not sincere and devoted to GOD Alone.
Brother you are assuming Sunnis and others invented Salat and you are throwing the bath water with the baby in it.
GOD bless you.

Salam, brothers and sisters!
The root means "someone who works for his/her Rabb ". And when the Abd is given a provision Rizq from the Rabb/the Nourisher then the Abd acknowledges the worth of his/her Rabb (*worship) and gives thanks to the Rabb and/or praises his/her Rabb.
Given below are a few Ayats from Al-Quran for your reference
(002172) O you all who believe! Eat/chew you all from made good-looking what We have provided you all and be grateful you all to Allah if you all only Him you all are serving/wroking for.
(016073) And they are working for from other than Allah which not they possess for them any provision from the skies and the land anything, and not they are able.
(017030) Indeed, your Nourisher extends the provision for whom He wills, and decreases. Indeed, He is with His workers one Ever-Aware, one Ever-Seeing.
(042019) Allah (is) Ever-Graceful with His workers; He gives provision (to) whom He wills. while He (is) the Powerful, the All-Mighty.
(050011) A provision for the workers, and We give life with it (i.e., water from the Sky - ref. 5009) a land dead. Like that the coming forth/going out.
Note that most of the translations/interpretations have used the following 03 meanings for the root
- Worship/worshipper (*The original meaning of this word is ?worthiness, acknowledgement of worth)
- Serve/servant (Servant means ?a person who performs duties for others, especially a person employed in a house on domestic duties or as a personal attendant.?)
- Slave (Slave means a person who is forced to work for someone. Original meaning ?captive?)
I like to go with the First one since no one is employed or captivated by Allah (S.W.T). His provisions are for all and free of cost. When we give thanks to Him, we become Abd-Allah/Abdullah.
Since it is only Allah who has created us and those before us and He nourishes all of us by His grace. I acknowledge His worthiness and give thanks to Him and praise Him. I do worship Him. He is THE ONLY ONE who can benefit me and who can harm me.
(025055) And/while they are worshipping of from other than Allah what not profits them and not harms them, and was The Concealer on his Nourisher's back (as a supporter).
(019065) The Nourisher (of) the skies and the land and whatever (is) between both of them, so worship Him and be constant for His worship. Do you know for Him a given name?
(040060) And said your Nourisher,
Call upon Me; I respond surely you.Indeed, those who they are seeking greatness about My worship soon they are entering Jahannum they all abjected.`(043064) Indeed, Allah, He (is) my Nourisher and your Nourisher, so worship Him. This (is) a Path which is desired to establish.`
I will try to share my understandings about Dua and Salat later, In Sha Allah!
May Allah bless you all.

Thanks for acknowledging that Bait could be a physical place as well as a system. Is your claim (that AL-bait in 2127 is a physical place) in line with the verse?

The meaning of this root are to follow closely.I agree with your definition "to follow closely" so how do we follow closely?
