    Peace brother Mazhar.

    Sure. But how do you come to the conclusion that the salawat has to take place within one day? Why not one week, one month, one year, a lifetime? I cannot see such a restriction in the quoted verse. In my view it is very logical to say, hold to the salawat, meaning hold to the salawat for your whole life.

    Salamun alaika;

    It is a time bound protocol. It is prescribed for five points in time of a day; kindly open the link and see the mention of timings for five in a day.

        peace Mazhar,
        you and I have already discussed a little about the flaws in your article.

        But in any case, if you wish to accept this thread challenge please confirm here.

        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

          Flaws? Please find one in that article about five timings; for convenience a graph is even given therein.

              I believe that since salat has been revealed before the Quranic Revelation, one has to look to the previous people/ Scriptures whom Salat has been revealed to, in order to get more understanding of what Salat really is, and the numbers.

              The focus groups would be (All of which are mentioned/alluded to in the Quran are

              1. Mandaeans (Sabaens) (5 prayers lessened to 3 Prayers by John the Baptist) (Sabaeen in Quran 2217)
              2. Zoroastrians (5 prayers) (Majus in Quran 2217)
              3. Samaritans (3 times, more on holidays) (Early schism of children of Israel)
              4. Early Jewish tribes/Torah/Tanakh (some 3, some 5, some combine 5 into 3 times)
              5. New Testament (3 times, 3rd, 6th, 9th hours)

              The two hardest group to find out is Mandaeans and samaritans, since their numbers are few, and there is not a lot of available literature out there.

              1. This free online book is about Mandaeans
                http//mandaeannetwork.com/Mandaean/en_The_Mandaeans_of_Iraq_and_Iran_sabians_mandaeannetwork.html?i1

              Also as an intro to Mandaeans in english

                  It is more correct to say As-Salamu. The Arabic definite article is required. Otherwise the "Alaika" would become an adjectival clause for the "Salamun" and what you are after is a complete meaningful sentence!

                  Sorry - little gripe!

                    Sorry to interupt, but if 'As-Salamu' was the more correct form of the Islamic greeting, then surely God would have used 'As-Salamu' in the Quran. But in the Quran we can see that it is always 'Salamun'.

                    Regards.

                          Like most - bender doesn't know any Arabic either . . . but is happy enough to . . .

                          1947

                          The following greeting is within a sentence - here its grammar position and function is different.

                          Bender seems not to be very clever either. Else he would have noticed

                          But in the Quran we can see that it is always 'Salamun'.

                          So the posting of his verse . . . was a pointless exercise.

                            "Alaika" is a Prepositional Phrase. It relates to the predicate. Salamun is a Verbal Noun. The difference between a Verb and Verbal Noun is that the verb has time reference while verbal noun has time reference only to the point in time of context. The use of definite verbal noun by Easa alahissalam is for reason of associating and particularizing it with points in time.

                              Pointing out that Salamun is a verbal noun is not very helpful and neither does it answer the objective put to you.

                              Verbal noun - is an English concept and does not quite correspond to Arabic.

                              Salam - is Masdar - that is Verbs originate from it . Verbal noun? Mostly in English - refer to Nouns that derive from a verb.

                              The question is one of making complete Arabic sentence. An indefinite noun and a prepositional phrase do not make a good Arabic sentences. That is why you need the 'Salam' to be definite- 'al-Salam'.

                                    Grand Qur'aan is the source to verify correctness of use of language Arabic.

                                    Refer 654

                                    is a complete nominal sentence; prepositional phrase relates to elided predicate.

                                    The subject/topic of a nominal sentence can be indefinite in few situations; one is that of supplication or prayer as is the case in above sentences.

                                    A read about ellipses/elisions also might enlighten.
                                    Elipsis omission of implied word the omission of one or more words from a sentence, especially when what is omitted can be understood from the context.

                                      This is about pronoun/dhamir.

                                      3alaykum/ and 3alayka/, both of this are true.

                                      -kum/ is pronoun of antum, the plural form of "you".
                                      -ka/ is pronoun of anta, the singular form of "you".

                                      Also there is no called "Al Salam" , the word is syamsiyah alphabet, and all syamsiyah words don't use definite alif-lam, but alif with following huruf.

                                      Example , the definite used in this word is Alif and sa' not Alif-lam.

                                        Careful you don't shoot yourself in the foot, in the meantime.

                                        This challenge has been posted on multiple Quran-islam facebook groups also, but so far, only 3 takers (I'm not even sure good logic confirmed). I was hoping for more. I will give it a little longer, if not, 3 will have to do.

                                        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                                          Also there is no called "Al Salam" , the word is syamsiyah alphabet, and all syamsiyah words don't use definite alif-lam, but alif with following huruf.

                                          Huh? Alif-lam is always used, but the lam is not pronounced when the first letter of the word is a "sun letter". Hence is a correct arabic word (note salam is written without alif in the reading/"quran&quot.
