Salah in Qur'an

[Union]

Salam all . Salah , generally translated as prayer, is probably the most hot topic among the opponents of the Qur'an alone movements . According to them Qur'an didn't detail the Salah , hence without Hadith it is impossible to perform Salah . This argument regards to be one of the strong Combat-kits among Sunni and Shia in the quest of proving the followers of Qur'an only wrong .

But the true fact is , ALLAH (swt), revealed about hundred verses in Qur'an related with Salah , directly or indirectly .These verses cover well enough all the features of Salah from every aspects . In the same time it doesn't match and tally with the Salah practiced traditionally , mainly derived from Hadith .Hence the unsatisfactory stance of the traditionalist .

Whatsoever , this thread is dedicated to discuss the Salah (root : Sad-Lam-Waw :S-L-W) from the Qur'an in details and in order to achieve this purpose we used the root search of S-L-W from the Qur'an which may can swallow a lot of posts but inshALLAH this will be a reference for researchers interested in the subject in this forum and in cyber world . In process , at the end we will summarize the Salah as prescribed by ALLAH (swt) , from the Qur'an inshALLAH .

Thanks for your patience .

[YA]: It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

[RK]:Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war.

[YA]: O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body.

For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.

[RK]:O you who believe, do not observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) while intoxicated, so that you know what you are saying. Nor after sexual orgasm without bathing, unless you are on the road, traveling; if you are ill or traveling, or you had urinary or fecal-related excretion (such as gas), or contacted the women (sexually), and you cannot find water, you shall observe Tayammum (dry ablution) by touching clean dry soil, then wiping your faces and hands therewith.

[YA]: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

[RK]:Have you noted those who were told, "You do not have to fight; all you need to do is observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat)," then, when fighting was decreed for them, they feared the people as much as they feared GOD, or even more? They said, "Our Lord, why did You force this fighting on us? If only You respite us for awhile!" Say, "The materials of this world are nil, while the Hereafter is far better for the righteous, and you never suffer the slightest injustice."

[YA]: Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then Allah Hath opened no way for you (to war against them).

[RK]:Exempted are those who join people with whom you have signed a peace treaty, and those who come to you wishing not to fight you, nor fight their relatives. Had GOD willed, He could have permitted them to fight against you. Therefore, if they leave you alone, refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then GOD gives you no excuse to fight them.

Definition of Salah

ALLAH , the Almighty connoted the salah in Qur’an with a single and simple definition . All the verses related with Salah are perfectly matching with this definition. Please look at the following verse :

[075:031] So he doesn't affirm (Sadaqa) nor did he pray (Salla)!-
[075:032] Rather but lied (Kathaba) and turned away(Tawalla)!

[075:031] Fala saddaqa wala salla
[075:032] Walakin kaththaba watawalla

‏75:31 فلا صدق ولاصلى
75: 32 ولكن كذب وتول

As per the above verse Salla is made as the opposite to turn away. Hence Salah means turn towards . Different synonyms can be used in place of ‘turns towards’ like make contact , remain attached , establish connection etc .

Salah more than a ritual prayer ​

According to the Qur’an Salah is not only bounded within the ritual prayer activities, as traditionally believed. Rather it has broader sense and practice . The following verses establish without ambiguity , the different functions of Salah .

01. Communication:

a) [033:056] Surely Allah and His angels turns towards (Sallu) the Prophet; O you who believe! Turn towards him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation .

The above verse is talking about the communication between the Prophet with GOD , the Almighty , with angels and the believers . Here S-L-W used in to denote support and help .We found in so many verses in the Qur’an that how ALLAH (swt) and HIS angels helped and support the Prophet in different occasions and persisted contact with Prophet on every folds of his life . The instruction of this supportive communication with the Prophet is made instructive upon the believers. This is more confirmed from the proceeding verses , e.g., 33:57-58 , where ALLAH (swt) cursed and criticized who hurt and oppose/don't support the Prophet and the believers . These verses are used on the contrast of Sallu used in verse 56.

b) [009:103] Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it, and turns toward (Salli) them. Verily! Your attention (Salatika) are a source of security for them, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower .

The explanation of the above verse is same as mentioned in verse 33.56 . Here Prophet was establishing relation with his followers , which also denotes a positive relation of support , help and bond of community . This verse proves that S-L-W is possible between human .

c) [033:043] He it is Who turns toward (Yusalli) you, and (so do) His angels, that He may bring you forth out of utter darkness into the light; and He is Merciful to the believers.

The above verse is about GOD’s (swt) and angels’ attention and awareness to guide the believers from disbelief to beliefs. This verse discloses another important fact that ALLAH (swt) and HIS angels also perform Salah upon the believers, and not only upon the Prophet Muhammad alone .

d) [003:038] There did Zakariya pray (Dowa) to his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant unto me from Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!

[003:039] While he was standing in prayer (Yusalli) in the chamber, the angels called unto him: "God doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya, witnessing the truth of a Word from God, and (be besides) noble, chaste, and a prophet,- of the (goodly) company of the righteous."

The story of Zachariah is another delighted one in this regard . He was asking/imploring/calling (Doa) ALLAH (swt) for a son and the good news of Yahya’s birth came upon him through the angels when he was in state of Salah , meaning when he turned towards the LORD .

02. Religious and trading system:

[011:084] And unto Midian (We sent) their brother Shu'eyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other God save Him! And give not short measure and short weight. Lo! I see you well-to-do, and lo! I fear for you the doom of a besetting Day.
[011:085] O my people! Give full measure and full weight in justice, and wrong not people in respect of their goods. And do not evil in the earth, causing corruption.
[011:086] That which Allah leaveth with you is better for you if ye are believers; and I am not a keeper over you.
[011:087] They said: O Shu'eyb! Doth thy way of prayer (Assaltuka) command thee that we should forsake that which our fathers (used to) worship, or that we (should leave off) doing what we will with our own property. Lo! thou art the mild, the guide to right behaviour.

We see from the above set of verses that Prophet Shu’aib was preaching his community with the followings :

- To worship ALLAH (swt) alone.
-To measure full weight and length in business.
-Not to cheat people in trading with them.
-Not to spread corruption in the earth .

In verse 11:87 , the people of Shu’aib’s community defined all those preaching mentioned above as his Salah .They declined to accept such Salah (system) offered by GOD , the Almighty through Prophet Shu’aib .

03. Salah of creatures and objects :

[024:041] Seest thou not that it is God Whose praises all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate, and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread? Each one knows its own (mode of) prayer (Salah) and praise(Tasbiha). And God knows well all that they do.

How a creature like bird perform Salah ? What about trees , mountains , sun , moon or stars ? It is quite imprudent to think their Salah to be the ritual prayer like we do . Their Salah is the obedience to ALLAH (swt) , turning towards HIM with submission and obedience .

The verse below explains a bird’s submission , which is its Salah :

[038:019] And the birds assembled; all were turning unto Him.

The Salah of other objects in the earth and heaven is explained as follows :

[022:018] Hast thou not seen that to ALLAH submits whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind ? But there are many who become deserving of punishment. And whomsoever ALLAH disgraces, none can raise him to honour. Verily, ALLAH does what HE pleases.

[055:006] And the herbs and the trees - both (alike) bow in adoration.

Dear brother,

Please inform us how can you decide on the number of 'Rak'a' عدد الركعات of the ritual prayer from the Quran alone?

With Respect.
