<![CDATA[Is Meditation considered Salat?]]>I was wondering if meditation could be a form of Salat.

As far as my knowledge goes, meditation is meant to clear your mind and make it free, in a sense. In other words, just complete serene emptiness, peace and freedom.

The purpose of Salat is to focus on God and have that period of time completely devoted to Him.

Logically, these two would seem to contradict each other, so does that mean meditation is not a form of Salat?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Respect and Peace,
Mind

I understand "salaat" to be programming. The method by which one programs themself is to enter into a TRANCE state, which is what we try to achieve in meditation.

The purpose of Salat is to focus on God

I think more accurately is to REMEMBER the God, meaning to program our spirit with the attributes of the God, which prevents us from evil.

Our actions are RESPONSES, so we have to program our responses.

Also, just going into meditation to relax and be at peace only is a good thing as well. God is THE PEACE, which is the state of NO THINGS (oposite of things). When we achieve PEACE, we are "face to face" with The God.
