How would you translate 19:29/30/31
-
"Allah has enjoined me the prayer and charity till I remain alive."
How could Allah enjoin/command Jesus WITH Salat and Zakah?
I answered this. This is the new convenant. It is not an instruction from God to Jesus to pray and give charity himself but to establish the new convenant which includes the system of prayer and charity for the people of Israel.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. 8 For he finds fault with them when he says "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Thanks for the interest shown.
Again you are missing.
How could Allah enjoin/command Jesus WITH Salat and Zakah?
Yes Allah could not enjoin Jesus (BI S SALAT) WITH salat and zakat.
But the verse say so, which is grammatically incorrect
the meaning of BI S SALAT is (WITH/BY/FOR SALAT).
AUSANI BIS SALAT - enjoined me WITH the salat which is not possible.
I need a logical translation of the verse
Thanks

Imagine, hypothetically, you receive from God instructions for prayer and charity. You are endorsed by God to establish these in the peoples hearts and minds...
Then what is grammatically incorrect in the verse when you say
"God enjoined me WITH the salat"
Take a more mundane example. I give you a book and I endorse you to return it to the library
"I enjoined you WITH the book"
I really fail to see a problem.

ENJOINED (VERB) to order (someone) to do (something); urge strongly; command
The code enjoined members TO trade fairly
The doctor enjoined the patient TO walk daily
If your doctor enjoins you TO stop smoking, he is suggesting strongly that you quitIf it was a command to Jesus then he should have been commanded TO estasblish the salat and GIVE zakah
Jesus cannot be commanded WITH salat and ZAKAH
Don't say that he was commanded TO establish the prayer and give zakah, because this is not mentioned in the verse.
And ESTABLISH prayer and GIVE zakah, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. Indeed, Allah of what you do, is Seeing. (Al-Baqara 110)
And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as the display of the former times of ignorance. And ESTABLISH the prayer and GIVEzakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity , O people of the household, and to purify you with purification. (Al-Ahzaab 33)
If AUSANI is command/enjoin then what was the command to Jesus WITH salat and ZAKAH.
Thanks

It seems you ignored my examples showing it's linguistically perfectly sound.
The code enjoined members TO trade fairly
=> The code enjoined members WITH fair trade
The doctor enjoined the patient TO walk daily
=> The doctor enjoined the patient WITH daily walks
If your doctor enjoins you TO stop smoking, he is suggesting strongly that you quit
=> The doctor enjoins you WITH a smoking ban.
What concerns ESTABLISH zakah and prayer. This is actively realizing them yourself. Again, God does not instruct Jesus to ESTABLISH prayer and zakah himself. God instructs him WITH the prayer.
In your example, the Messenger is neither asked to ESTABLISH the prayer. The followers of the messenger are instructed to ESTABLISH. The messenger is enjoined WITH the prayer and zakat.
When Quran uses ESTABLISH in combination with prayer and zakat it refers to a duty you have to realize yourself. When Quran does not use ESTABLISH it speaks about the blueprint for the prayer and zakat.
When you are enjoined with something, it means the subject is WITH you, in your possession, under your supervision, in your control. This is illustrated by the fact that none of the prophets were told to pray or give charity given certain rules. They are not asked to establish. That message is for those following them. It seems that the messengers/prophets like Jesus knew how to pray and give charity from the heart. As such they served as an example. The prayer and zakat were in a way part of their identity, natural to them or God-given.
To make things easy enjoined with means almost the same as "joined with". It has a different meaning than "enjoined to". "Enjoined with" does not necessarily mean a command but expresses what one is "joined" with.
Jesus is enjoined with the prayer. The followers when they are enjoined to the prayer and obey the messenger/message they also become joined with the prayer. When you accepted prayer/charity, you are joined with it. Connected with it. In a larger perspective joined with God. It connects one with God.

Verily thy Lord knows that thou stay up near two- thirds of the night, Or half thereof, or a third thereof, and also a party of those who are with thee. And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that ye can compute it not, He hath relented toward you. Wherefore proclaim now of the Qur'an, so much as is easy. He knows that there will be among you some diseased, and others shall be travelling in the land seeking grace of Allah, and others shall be fighting in the way of Allah. Wherefore (O Prophet ) proclaim thereof so much as is easy; and establish the prayer and give Zakat and lend Unto Allah a goodly loan. Whatsoever good ye shall send on for your souls, ye shall find it with Allah, better and greater in reward. And ask forgiveness of Allah; verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful 7320
(O Prophet) establish the prayer at the sun set until the darkness of the night and the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed. 17 78
And establish (O Prophet) the prayer at two ends/sides of the day BUT in the nearness of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember. 11 114
Prophet Muhammad was explicitly commanded to establish the prayer and give zakah

The prophet is hardly mentioned in the quranic text (you are misled by the injections in sectarian translations). Proving my point. The messenger already prayed the right way, gave charity the right way. Guided by God.
The entire message in Quran is a message for the followers of the message and the messenger. When the instructions are explicitly for the prophet, the prophet is explicitly mentioned. But there aren't many of those.

Sure. But where does it mention "The prophet"? It doesn't say "O Prophet, establish". It says "Establish". So these are instructions for those following the message and following the messenger.

2014 is an example of how God instructs Moses when God chose moses as a prophet. Moses is an exception because he is the only prophet in Quran to which God spoke directly.
Jesus was not chosen as prophet somewhere during his life. He was born as a prophet and thus ENJOINED WITH.
The other verse is not addressed at Muhammad. It's conjecture to understand singular means addressed at the prophet. If it was addressed at the prophet it would explicitly mention it like in 2014. There is no verse I know of like 2014 that addresses Muhammad in such a way. Muhammad never spoke directly with God. To Muhammad God sent Djibril. One of the few exceptions in Quran are the verses where the prophet gets reprimanded by God.
"O my son" can be anyone. We are all created by God. Or are you like the christians claiming Jesus is Gods son?

Just use your reason hafeez. Why would the messenger recite a message that is addressed to himself? Wouldn't that be totally crazy?
The entire Quran is a message for the follower(s) of the message. When it is not, the names are explicitly mentioned.

Establish (SINGULAR) prayer at the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed. AND from the night, pray with it as additional FOR THEE (SINGULAR) it is expected that THY LORD (SINGULAR) will RAISE THEE (SINGULAR) to a praised station 1778/79
Both these verses are addressed to a SINGLE person and that very person would be raised to a praised station.

GOOD REPLY
Everyone is a reader/listener, so everyone will be raised to a praised station.

It is conditional (establish the salat). And you missed a part in your translation "maybe". It does not say "it is expected". It says "maybe/perhaps".
Establish the salat and it may be that the Lord lifts you to a praised station. Even if you establish the salat, it is no guarantee you will gain more praiseworthiness. But it helps.

You are the first person on the planet who says that these verses (1778/79) are addressed to reader/listener.
And their purpose was to tempt thee (READER/LISTENER) away from that which We had revealed unto thee (READER/LISTENER), to substitute in our name something quite different; (in that case), behold! they would certainly have made thee (READER/LISTENER) (their) friend! 1773
And if We had not strengthened you (READER/LISTENER), you (READER/LISTENER) would have almost inclined to them a little 1774
Then had we made thee (READER/LISTENER) taste a double (punishment) of living and a double (punishment) of dying, then hadst thou (READER/LISTENER) found no helper against Us 1775
And they indeed wished to scare thee (READER/LISTENER) from the land that they might drive thee (READER/LISTENER) forth from thence, and then they would have stayed (there) but a little after thee (READER/LISTENER) 1776

Peace brother,
I agree bravo
Surely almost all singular forms in alQuraan are direct referring to the reader.
If we don't take these aayaat directly addressing to us, then it is really difficult to understand the Book of Allah.
And secondly, it is of no use studying the Book which is not addressing directly to us but to someone else.And Rasools and Nabis are not unique, they are simple humans like us. And to my understanding Rasool and Nabi in Arabic are the common words, there is nothing Islamic in it.
May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr
