A challenge to those who claim Quran states 5 salat daily
-
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!
"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.

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.

Do you see anything else happening here? Having read his posts . . . I do not think Wakas is really up for a debate. In the mean time - might as well shoot the breeze.
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.

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".

Nothing like a Jab Jibe to get a reaction!
There aint going to be many more . . . so either get on with it - or quit it, petal.

And herein lies your answer . . . and why is correct.
In your version Alikum relates NOT to an implied predicate but to Salamun the noun . . . hence it is not a complete sentence.
is a complete nominal sentence
No it isn't.
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.
This makes no sense at all . . . why would subject type dictate difference of grammar? The verse you give . . . is not a complete sentence.
The complete sentence is

Dearie, rest easy . . . I don't think even you would understand what you wrote.

Peace Mazhar,
thank you, I know about the dagger-alif. But those dagger-alifs do not occur in early scriptures. Hence the correct spelling of salam is simply without alif. The dagger Alif is speculation about the correct pronounciation, in any case it is not part of the original word.

So that's why there is no called "Al salam", because it's little bit strange if we pronounce it in Arabic language.
People mostly said "Assalamu alayka" not "Al salamu alayka"Peace

Shall we get some more insights about the title of this thread "A challenge to those who claim Qur'an states 5 salat daily" please?
Thanx
