Salat according to Chapter 107
-
Good points, Rami.
Small correction, in 1071 it is "denying in al deen".
"Bi" means "with", not "in". However, one does not have to translate it as "denying with the obligation", but simply "denying the obligation".
Compare this to "kaf-fa-ra", "alif-mim-nun" and "sad-dal-qaf" being used together with "bi". -

A little late but what article are we talking about?
Peace
There is no article. I was just trying to pin down the correct meaning of Salat through chapter 107. I concluded that Salat is the recitation of the Quran to the people in the special times prescribed in other verses. Those who listened attentively were in state of sujood. The people who listened to the Quran but didn't execute what is being ordered are the people mentioned in this particular chapter.
Peace.

Great, you got it! Now everything about "salat" should become crystal clear. For example, I hope that everyone would also see that when Chapter 96 puts "reading" in contrast of preventing people from "salat" it is actually about "salat" in contrast to preventing people from it.
Peace,
Ayman
