ASA Layth, great article! opened my eyes to a better understanding of salat. I recently had a close friend call and state to me during a recent visit for morning prayers, that he spoke with a Hafiz and scholar who told him there are (5) prayers mentioned in the Qur'an and he would share with me soon.

The Hafiz told him that to establish salat means more than just prayer. I wish I could have spoken with the scholar myself.

Thanks for all of the wonderful things you have done over the years. May Allah reward you in this life and the next.
