Salat = (not) Education-Process
-
Main issue The issue is readers or translators trying to get a more exact definition of "Salat" as "Prayer" therefore "Education-Process" was suggested as well as "Communion".
In the following set, Salat translation word will be used as "Salat" , as an undefined word, the verbs will be translated to "Do Salat".

• TranslationVerily, God and His angels bless+ the Prophet O you who have attained to faith, bless him and give yourselves up in utter self-surrender!
• the root of the red word is SLW, the root that is directly associated to Salat as a prayer by translators and readers etc etc
• All the occurences of the "Salat" and "action of Salat" that root from SLW have a stand-alone meaning, they were directly translated to Prayer such as in "Establish the Salat(Prayer)" and in some occasions translated to different world such as "Blessing" whenever it didn't make sense. Bottom line, these words cannot really be used to understand what is the meaning of the Salat as they refer to the word itself.
• "and be constant in prayer"Salat", and spend in charity,* and bow down in prayer with all who thus bow down."
"And seek aid in steadfast patience and prayer"Salat(plural) and this, indeed, is a hard thing for all but the humble in spirit"
"hence, prayDo Salat+TO thy Sustainer , and sacrifice ."
"Verily, God and His angels blessDo Salat+ON the Prophet"
"Say, My Contact Prayers My Salat, my worship practices, my life and my death, are all devoted absolutely to GOD alone, the Lord of the universe.,"
"They said, "O Shuayb, does your contact prayerSalat(plural) order you that we leave what our fathers served, or that we do not do with our money as we please? You are the compassionate, the sane!" (An individual act that Shuayb used to do frequently)The above are the words that roots from SLW and that are directly linked to Prayer, eventhough their occurences show no definition and stand alone explaining themselves. Which leads to stipulations.
More occurences here
Below are the other words, that kind of look like "Salat" and hold its root alphabets as well as in their usage yet believed to have a different root word WSL. However, in every occurence they explain themselves in their context and ALL of them share clear similar meanings.

• Translation and who keep together what God has bidden to be joined,* and stand in awe of their Sustainer and fear the most evil reckoning ;
• Looks exactly like the red in the previous image right ? However, it isn't read the same way because of the diacritical marks, that's why it is considered a different word with a different root WSL.
• In every occurence, the word explains itself in its context it usually means "join" "Reach" or "connect" "link"
"..Never shall attain to thee!"
"But that which is assigned to the beings associated in their minds with God does not bring closer to God - whereas that which is assigned to God brings closer to those beings to whom they ascribe a share in His divinity.* Bad, indeed, is their judgment!
"who break their bond with God after it has been established, and cut asunder what God has bidden to be joined(or linked), and spread corruption on earth these it is that shall be the losers."(And what exactly did God order us not to break/cut and that should be Linked/joined ?)
".. We have caused this word to reach mankind"More occurences here
I'll leave the analysis to the readers on whether or not, the words that "root from WSL" can explain the words that are directly associated to "Prayer" i.e root from SLW.
This is a response to this
Finally, excuse any english mistakes, I'm not english. Also, this gave me a headache to arrange and clarify. I hope it's useful.

I've suggested that all "the names of things" (not just salat) should be in their original form and as nominative with transcription used. I also tried to tell what I know about "salat" and its root connection with the root w-s-l, which is obvious.
If people are using translations of names and they're thinking of them translated they should notice that translation of the same word is mostly different in different ayats (it can be different in the same ayat also). This leads many to many falsehood. So, if we understand them in their original fom we should at least- knew that it's the same word
- we'll think about that word more often
- will avoid changing some word with other with similar meaning
- will memorize some of the Qur'an easier and better
- we can avoid using wrong words from foreign languages as "namaz" for "salat", and so on.
This task is very hard for any individual, but maybe we should try it.
Allah's bless and selam.

Brother tell me do you know what the root meaning of salat denotes?

I wasn't talking about the sites/lexicons where the same noun is masculine and feminine, but it can be useful.
I was talking about translations of the Qur'an, our talking/writing, our thinking... we should use names of things as Qur'an named them, after we get the knowledge about them.
As I see, people are trying to translate what's impossible to translate, even using many words, instead of just to name it SALAT, as brother Cerberus offered. If anybody thinks that they can explain anything from the Qur'an to others, they're very wrong.Maybe you read some book where its author is talking about some event which lasted for a very short time. He wrote a few hundreds of pages about it and he maybe could say more. The knowledge about any of Qur'anic words is like an ocean. How can it be translated to a single or a few words? We'll have to cut it into pieces.
What is "Education process"? Is thinking "Education process"? Yes, it is, so, no matter what salat is, if we think about salat it's "Education Process". But, is it its only meaning? No, its only meaning is "salat".
Allah's bless and selam.
