Brother i believe you are in error. I'm certainly no scholar and i was raised as a Christian but i absolutely believe in the Quran alone. None of the actions which you stated are quranic. Hadith are the writings of men as are 'old' and 'new' testament. That is clear even to the unschooled. Also, i don't speak Arabic but even after light research i came to understand that later scholars were using the hadith to arbitrarily impose selective meaning on words, including Salat. Context is everything. I still am not convinced of every conclusion i have come to but in the meantime ill go with what i understand and that is remembrance and reciting the Quran in the morning and evening. If Allah wills he will enlighten me further. He encourages us to use our minds and that it what we must all do individually. Peace brother.

The prophet was prohibited from saying anything besides the holy Quran. Refer to Surah 69 verse 38 to 47, also refer to surah 75 verse 16 to 20 and you will find your answers there. The holy Quran is the complete and perfect book fully detailed and preserved from corruption as Allah mentions. All the Hadith does is cause discord in Islam. It’s fully of contradictions, fallacies, corruption and unauthentic teaching of the prophet (as he was specifically told to recite the Quran only and utter nothing besides it. In saying that the Hadith was also combined and put in various narrations almost 250-300 years after the prophets death. Submit your will to Allah and follow only the word of Allah as instructed in the holy book. This is the ultimate goal to achieve success.

You have some good videos in debunking Hadith followers. But ill stick with the Quran on when to pray, morning and afternoon Surah 24:58. And Midday 2:238. As for the positions. Standing as mentioned at midday. Bowing and prostrations are evidence of submission and those who submit. Its not oart of some ritualistic prayer or devotion. We are given the freedom to worship God and to pray how we choose. If not God would have stated exactly how to pray do salat in detail. People keep getting caught up in the details that God doesn't require. May God bless us all and lead us in wisdom. Amen.

Thank you brother, you have clarified all of my doubts, may God be pleased with you.

Your explanation makes sense. For example, even Sunnis don’t pray 2 rakas of MAGHRIB when they are traveling. They pray 3. Even though Hadith says that the prophet NEVER prayed more than 2 when he was in a journey. The Sunnis contradict the Hadiths. It’s because prayer came to us through generations. Allah said he will protect the dhikr (Qur’an 15:9) dhikr included prayer too.

Salat is 2 things. Firstly salat is forbidding evil and performing good deeds [29:45] [31:17]. Second is the reciting of Quran at specific times [4:103], [73:20]. These are Fajr [17:78], Wusta [2:238] and Isha [24:58]. This enforces the first point because the Quran reminds us of what good and evil is.

Salat means "follow closley" the fitrat of Allah 30,30 > dinul kayyimu - "din of Abraham 6,161" and the "Zikir (teach) in the kitap" 21,10 ... There are no rituals - Allah dont want rituals : "I did not create jinn and humans except to serve me. I seek no supply from them, nor do I need them to feed Me." 51,56-57 > To know what Salat in the qoran is you have to look who makes whome salat ... There is no ayat that Allah is "recieving salat" - contrary "Allah and his meleks (angel) "yusalli ala" make sallat to us! the muminun 33,43 and salat to the "Nebi" 33,56 > the "Nabi" himselfs makes "salat to mumins" in 9,103 and "the Ikame of the salat" makes the nabi also to the Mumin in 4,102 ... There no doubt that salat in the qoran is not prayer, cant be ... impossible ... Ve la telbisul hakka bil batılı > Do not mix truth with falsehood or hide the truth knowingly.2,42

Great vid minus the judgemental tone, 'they dont want to do salah' 'they are too lazy' yet every1 who performs the traditional salah prayer was taught by some1, so it cant hist be known. Ppl have genuine questions. I find often the the Quran only followers not to be lazy as a fact they read the quran (translation ) they do lot of research on the subject often while being ridiculed by others

I thought the Quran says to recite what is inspired to you from the Quran. Why can't I recite any other surah as a reminder, I have always agreed when I recite the fatiha, I'm talking to God. But also, when I'm reciting other verses from other surahs, I am remembering what God is saying to me as a human being. There's a verse in the Quran that tells us to recite the Quran.

Salam brother I totally agree with you on the majority of issues raised relating to prayers and keeping the Salat pure and simple whilst only mentioning God alone, I personally follow Quran alone and always will but contrary to your claim the majority of Quran only believer's that I know of believe the Salat to be as an act of ritual prayers and not as you mentioned, I haven't met one Quran only believer who claims that the Salat isn't a ritual prayer, most importantly if God is telling the believer's that the book is fully detailed and complete then why would anyone in their right mind ignore this verse and look for answers in other sources such as man made fabricated books that claim to be the words and actions of the prophet when the prophet didn't approve of these attributions nor was he given the opportunity to defend himself against these claims that unfortunately has a major influence on mainstream Islam these days

Thank you brother. You helped me. I was confused about all of this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you made this video. I will pray for you so that you shall earn beautiful reward in Jannah.

I disagree with the last point that u made that we shouldn’t recite verses from the Quran and only recite Al Fatiha. That makes absolutely no sense. First of all, there are verses where Allah is commanding us to pray for our parents. And that’s a command from Allah. We mention our parents names, that dosent mean we are”setting up” something with God or idolizing our parents. So no, I will read any verse of the Quran which Allah revealed to us. 29:45 Recite what is inspired to you of the Book and hold the contact prayer, for the contact prayer prohibits immorality and vice; but certainly the remembrance of God is the greatest. God knows everything you do.

I thought the chapter names and divisions of the quran came much later .. and was not given by Allah ... ??..

That looking to the right and left to say salam alaikum is specific to Sunnis btw. Shi'a look straight. I'm not sold on this "ritual form" understanding of worship or salat, though I do generally perform the same ritual more or less. The lack of detail suggests to me that it is left to the believer. Also, I think there could be other aspects to the proper noun itself (as-Salat), than ritual prayer, even if the ritual itself does in fact go back to the prophet. There's even evidence we can see in Hadith suggesting that there were Muslims in the early period who only prayed three times a day. It's common for shi'a to join their prayers, so they also end up praying thrice. I only wonder though, if you take the perspective that Abraham did this same form of ritual prayer, what do you think of the Jewish tradition as is? They only pray 3 times a day as well. The only preexisting tradition I know of that prayed 5 times a day were the Zoroastrians. Do you think the Jews somehow lost the tradition or that the Zoroastrians took it from Persian Jews? I don't believe the Jews have the exact same form either, despite common features.

MashaAllah very clear and excellent explanation, thank you brother May GOD Bless you

Please could you state which translation of the Quran you are using?

Why do the first generation of Muslims have a greater advantage than we do? Have you not thought about this? They had the Prophet, peace be upon him, as an example of how to perform salaat, and they had the Quran. We Muslims today do not have a perfect example and only the Quran. The closest thing to the example of the Prophet, peace be upon him, is the hadith. It is certainly not perfect, but it is the only thing that comes close to the Prophet, peace be upon him. Why can't we use it with pure intention and critically through scholars who have knowledge of the matters? Getting rid of speculation and conspiracy theories is important. You can always go very far and end up in a dangerous situation. Take, for example, the super-critical atheistic scientists who claim that Muhammad, peace be upon him, did not even exist, and so on. It is over the top and very dangerous, and I think that many Quran-only people find themselves in this situation.

You say, we don't have to be taught to perform the salat? Yet you say the method is described in various places in the Quran.

How many Rakas for each sallat????? Where is Rakas in Quran ??? Did the prophet pray the way you described or the classic way everybody knows??????

Ive come away from this video with more questions than answers... if we are to follow how prophet Abraham prayed, how do we know how he prayed? Where to we refer ourselves to in order to find out? Does it say in the Quran how he prayed? If not, who do i ask? Do i find out in the Torah? How fo i know that the jews havent adulterated the way prophet Abraham prayed?

Peace be upon you. This is the truth.

Creed Of Abraham- Ritual From Him-No Authority 16:123 We have revealed to you this message (O Prophet), “Follow the creed of Abraham who turned away from all that is false." (2:125). He was, by no means, of the idolaters. A weak excuse is contrived by declaring that the prayer ritual was already known to the Arabs as they followed the creed of Abraham. We are told in the following verses that the practices found in the other faiths must now be judged by the complete and fully detailed revelation that is the Qur’an. This does not stop some from claiming that the prayer ritual was given to Abraham and passed down to us! There is no verse stating that the ritual acts we want to carry on from our ancestors was performed by Abraham. 1200 year old hadith replaced with 5000year old rituals. Abraham was a monotheist and followed alone, not a ritual giver! 3:1 A.L.M. Alif-Laam-Meem. (Allah, Lateef the Unfathomable, Majeed the Magnificent, states that), 3:2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Self-Subsistent Lord of the Universe proclaims that: 3:3 He is the One Who has sent down this Book to you (O Messenger) in absolute truth, confirming the authentic in what He has revealed before. He is the One Who revealed the Torah and the Gospel. [The Qur'an confirms only the Divine origination of the Bible, but it strongly points to the extensive human touch in the Old & New Testaments. Check the following verses: 2:75, 2:78-79, 2:101, 3:70-71, 3:78, 3:186-187, 5:13, 5:41, 6:91-92, 9:31] 3:4 He has bestowed guidance upon mankind before, and now He has sent the Final Criterion between right and wrong. Those who reject the revelations of God, theirs will be a strict retribution. God Almighty’s laws of Cause and Effect carries all things and actions to their logical outcome. 3:5 Nothing on earth and nothing in the Sky is hidden from God. The true creed of Abraham is mentioned in the above Qur’anic verses for those who have eyes to see, minds to think, and means monotheism. There are more verses mentioning the way of life given to Abraham which we are to follow, but none of them have the details to confirm that his salaat was a prayer ritual as performed today. IF IT IS NOT IN THE QUR'AN THEN THERE IS NO AUTHIORITY FROM ALLAH FOR THEM. BUT GOD ALONE DOES NOT GO PAST THE THROAT. Surah Fateha is a communication to Allah by asking Him to show us the straight path, and we ask this 5 times a day when He tells us in the next chapter that here is the Guidance you have asked for, so what is the sense of saying this 5times a day? 2:1 A.L.M. Alif-Laam-Meem. (Allah, Lateef the Unfathomable, Majeed the Magnificent, knows and understands your needs). 2:2 (Here is the guidance you asked for.) This is a Book in which there is absolutely no doubt concerning its authority and authenticity. And it leaves no doubts lingering in a seeking mind. It is a Guide for those who wish to journey through life in honor and security. [Rayib includes the meanings given in the first two lines. This Divine Writ, Al-Qur’an, is a Monograph that, when studied with an open mind, humility and sincerity, finds its own way from the mind to the heart. You will soon notice, as you proceed, that this Scripture leaves no lingering doubts in a sincere, seeking mind. If you remember that this is a Book of guidance and treat it as such, the glittering reality will dawn upon you that this is a Beacon of Light! It is a Guide for all those who wish to journey through life in honor and security. It has been recorded on parchment (‘Raqq’) by honorable scribes appointed by the Messenger. 52:2-3, 80:11-16. The Almighty Himself guarantees the truth of this Revelation, its explanation and its preservation. It is absolutely free of contradictions. Al-Qur’an = The Lecture or Monograph that finds its own way to sincere hearts, becoming Az-Zikr = The Reminder. 4:82, 10:37, 15:9, 29:48-49, 32:2, 52:2-3, 75:17-19, 80:11-16] 2:3 Those who (wish to journey through life in honor and security), believe in the Unseen, and establish the System of Salaat in which the following of Divine Commands is facilitated, and keep open for others the resources that We have granted them. [Establishing Salaat = Establishing the System in which Permanent Moral Values rule the hearts and minds of men and women. There are neither masters nor subjects in such a system, since therein prevails the Rule of laws. (2:177, 22:41, 94:7-8). Al-Ghayeb = The Unseen: The likeness of a seed that is beneath the soil hidden from a farmer’s view. Yet the farmer believes that given proper environment and care the seed will sprout. (9:119, 57:20, 89:27-30). Salaat = To follow closely, like a runner-up (Musalli) follows the winning horse (Saabiq) = Follow God’s commands closely. Aqimussallat = Establish the System that facilitates the following of Divine Commands. Zakaat = The Just Economic Order where everyone works according to his capacity and is compensated according to his needs. People spend on others or give to the Central Authority (Islamic government) whatever is surplus (2:219). And they do so whenever they earn any income (6:141). The Islamic government as the trustee of all natural resources is responsible for maintaining a viable and benevolent state. The state gives Zakaat instead of taking (22:41). The System of Zakaat is managed by the government that ensures the development of the individuals and the society. The 2.5 percent ‘taking of’ annual charity is a non-Qur’anic concept that trivializes the comprehensive Qur’anic System of Zakaat. The Central Authority can levy taxes of varying percentages according to the changing times and needs of the society. Charity or Sadaqaat are meant for the interim period whenever the Divinely Prescribed System of Life is not yet in place. For Central Authority, the Qur’an uses the terms Allah and Rasool (3:32). After the exalted Rasool (Messenger), the believers must elect their leadership through a consultative process in a manner suitable for the times. The Qur’an gives us the basic Rules and leaves the details and the ways to implement them up to people. People will make decisions with mutual consultation according to changing times. (42:38). For God’s Right = Divinely ordained right of the poor, see 6:141, 11:64, 55:10] 2:4 And those who choose to believe in what has been revealed to you (O Messenger) and the truth in what was revealed before your times. And they have conviction in the laws of Requital, and, therefore, in the Life Hereafter. [Similar were the blessed people who believed in and followed the previous Scriptures. Men and women of understanding use their faculty of reasoning and understand that human intellect has its limits. It can tell people what is, but it cannot tell what ought to be. The human intellect is also affected by emotional, cultural and environmental conditions. They understand that Divine Revelation economizes human effort and time on trial and error. They also realize that life is no vain sport. It has a sublime purpose and keeps evolving like everything else in the Universe. So, the death of the human body is only a transition to a higher form of life for the human ‘self’. Thus, they have conviction in the Hereafter. This can be likened to the birth of a baby who leaves the mother’s womb and moves on to a new and higher level of existence. Anyone failing to believe in the immortality of Nafs (‘Self’ or 'Soul'), bars himself from seeing life in its totality and, therefore, toils through this life without a higher objective. The higher objective is to live by permanent moral values and thus attain an immortal life in Paradise. 2:185, 6:73, 7:52-53, 7:157-158, 10:4, 21:10, 21:24, 40:11, 45:4-5, 67:2. “The truth in what they have” points to human touch in the Bible even before Prophet Muhammad’s times. See verses 2:75-79, 2:101, 3:70-71, 3:78, 3:186-187, 5:13, 5:41, 6:91-92, 9:31, 61:7]

i need to say something aswell.. for atleast 5yrs i was having dreams of going to the masjid and praying . i would stand there and while everyone would do the ritualistic prayer my legs would give out and i would bow and go straight down to prostation.. the bowing was on my knees.. i would wake up and think what is wrong with me..

Salat is evident from the following verses. 11:84-87 29:45 6:92 Those 3 verses clarify that messengers did their salat by reciting the revelation of God to their communities and the purpose of salat. 17:78 & 11:114 Clarify the times the messenger conveyed the message to the people. 17:106 & 7:205 Clarify the Quran is read to the people not back to God! 70:22-34 & 75:31-32 Clarify what the qualities of one who observes salat is and what the opposite is! 6:151-153 Clarifies that this is The Guidance so follow it! What guidance can you ask for after that! If you read those verses it couldn’t be clearer what salat is!

Praise be to God!!!

thers diffrent between carrying the act of "slaughter" of hefer and doing "follow closely (translation i believe)", and the dangerous part is at your last explanation you said "the majority" im sorry but god said u should not follow or intepret something based on the "majority", 6:115, n even god said dont follow ur parent religion 5:104-105 so dont intepret the word, just follow word per word translation, thats wierd that u dont translate the word "shalat" please translate it, theres issue when u only translate some word but not translating the other word in ayat, if u want to say it in english the word shalat should also be translated, and may god guide us all, word "intepretation" of human is dangerous, jst follow word by word "translation", n its wierd how do u know that ibrahim perform that u so called "shalat ritual" from the quran only not from the source of "majority doing" n "parent doing", slaughter is translation, but shalat = contact prayer is intepretation not word to word translation

Can someone please answer me, if salat is not a ritual, then how is a sacrifice (of an animal) the ritual or it isnt the same as salat?

bro i understand your view point. however you have overlooked that salat has been translated as prayer and blessings. so to follow the common practise and use the quran as a filter dont make sense. you need to understand the meaning of the word to know what you are doing. the Quran is thw word of God and is fully detailed and protected by God himself. as the Quran can not be corrupted people/shaytans have tried to corrupt the translation via hadith and other means. im originally a "sunni" muslim but am more of the mindset of Quran alone. And from the very little research and even smaller knowledge i have salat means to follow closes/ duty (or a synonym there of) i just pray to God to guide me as i am only looking for salvation

Salamun alaikum dear brother. You know I don't know why someone would try and judge another person's reason for doing or not doing something. We shouldn't be so quick to judge. And it's easy for someone to make a statement and say that if people don't agree with them then they must be astray. That's what the traditional Muslims say. But the truth of the matter is this. You fail to address the things in the Quran which makes us question what we have been given as the understanding of Salat. The Quran has define Salat as being the opposite of turning away in 75:31 & 32. Of course the opposite of turning away is to come closer or come toward or adhere. In 11:87 Salat is given the characteristics of commanding and prohibiting which is consistent with adhering to the message of the Quran. In 29:45 it is said that Salat keeps us away from immorality and evil deeds which is also consistent with it commanding and prohibiting as a result of us adhering to the message of the Quran. So this is clear and consistent as the Quran says that it is.

My dear, I am surprised by your words, you are trying to keep one of the most important terms of the Qur'an to the point of pointless worship by accepting the frequency as correct, and you are proving that the Qur'anic salat is only for a few minutes. Sit up and repeat something every day without realizing it is the remembrance of Allah. You are one of the victims of Sufism who consider Salat to be only a way of spiritual peace and meeting God. Five times a day of exercise is difficult. To follow every breath? And to protect this following, why do you limit the tradition of Abraham or the tradition of Noah to Muslims only. Where has the tradition of other Abrahamic religions gone? You are leaving out the history in which Everything changed from Caliphate to Monarchy when the leaders of Islam became Persian Zoroastrians, the example you gave of slaughtering the cows of Bani Israel also give the context why they were not doing it, sorry the discussion is long. You are going beyond the Qur'an itself to remember God, follow God's commands with every breath and spend all your energy to remember Him. Complete all the essentials of salat. No matter how many times you do salat sessions, five times or three times or two times, don't get rid of it by just putting the aspect of spirituality in it, but understand the Qur'an and then apply it practically to your life. God's laws. must be implemented as an Islamic state in salat so enter into Islam in some practical way. You sidestep many verses. Yes, you are saving yourself and making excuses. Your regular prayers do not produce any results, just give peace to your heart like a Hindu does by remembering God.

Follow the Quran and it will free u

Salamun alaykum. I agree with some parts of your post but some way thr traditionalists do it and what the submitters do (I don’t follow RK fyi). What’s the point of saying sami allahu liman hamidah? God hears anyone who praises him? What’s the point? Just do takbir And the Quran gives more than enough information on how to do salah. Several different ayas show it. And it’s 3 salahs. Not 5. Glorification/Tasbih is supposed to be done in what we do in zuhr and maghrib. What the traditionalists did was mix the Tasbih and salah

The Quran states very clearly that the prophet does not have the authority to alter God's words or law, and that he is commanded to follow the Quran and nothing else (10:15, 66:1, 5:48, 46:9). As a result, the above hadith would portray the prophet as someone who was acting in violation of God's commands when he changed the Salat laws and combined the Salat.

I really love your balance approach to this topic. Some of our Quran only muslim brothers have become just as extreme as some of our sunni and shia brothers.

One more thing: how did you arrive at the number of salats, 5, and the number of raka'ah? You seemed to be following a well-thoughtout line of logic at first, the reverted to traditional suni practices in the end. It's like you said, well, most of the muslims believe that its five, so it must be five. Why cant i make the same assumption about what is recited in the salah?

True Islam is QURAN ALONE

The Qur'an alone business, in its very foundation is absured, to say the least. If Allah SWT had intended HE could have simply revealed scriptures to every generation or community. But HE sent prophets and messengers and revealed them the scriptures. So to go by the scriptures alone neglecting the prophets is not justified at all. This I believe, just another smart technique the shaithan uses to distract people from the right path as he is the most intelligent of us all and he knows who to strike where. Allah SWT says in the Qur'an "Atthiullaha wa atthiurrasuluhu", (Obey Allah and obey HIS messenger), and you say you will only follow the Qur'an. Allah doesn't guide those who are bent on disobedience and wrongdoing. Allah ahlam. Wassalam

excellent!!

no disrespect but you never answered the title of your video. I can't see the logic in the title

ok you mention surah 2 it also translates salah in a few more ayats later as separate. If your going to bring up the importance of this surah then Salah is translated in 3 different ways in this particulat surah 2. That's not me but that's in every 'official' translations. As many you choose to select which one fits your narrative. NO other language on this planet that one word has three meanings. It's true in english like no and know but they're written differently and not the same. You can't have three different translations for the same word written the same way unless its exoteric then therefore it's neither pray or not.

The reason its not clear is because many have yet to grasp that the natural instinct when approaching Allah the ultimate is the physical act of surrendering and admiring. The prayer sunnis and shias do cant be too far off from the original act of salat, so at a minimum one should feel secure that the prostration (sajda) is an original part of the salat.

the Milat of Ibrahim was intellectual aswell as spiritual!!

As-salaam alaikum, my brother. You make an interesting presentation, but I'm having a problem with one thing: if as you say the salah consists only of the alfatihah, why would there be a need to shorten that salah? Also. How would it be shortened, according to your theory?

we're not very good with reading, are we? salam alaikum

I disagree. If salat was indeed a daily ritual then surely he would have included the details on how to perform it, as you rightly said Allah does not forget. He has provided details about so many things then how come he hasn't provided even the most basic rudimentary details on how to perform this oh so important ritual, a pillar of Islam no less and something so important that according to some holds the key for us either ending up in heaven or hell. Say someone comes across a copy of the Quran in a place where there are no Muslims around, he reads it and accepts Islam, then how is that poor person supposed to perform this salat? Just saying oh everybody knows it so really no need to give details about it thats very ingenious, how can we be certain that this way of performing salat is the right way that was performed 1400 yrs by the prophet? Look what people have done to the traditional salat and messed around with the deen so much through the hadith. So for arguments sake even if salat was a daily ritual how can we be sure that todays salat even remotely resembles the salat of the Prophet? And sure Allah would have preserved the method for time immemorium like the Quran. Like that fasting is also part of millat Ibrahim but Quran explains something that needs to be done once in a year in detail but yet does not provide details for something that needs to be done daily 5 times a day. Allah should have then just said, Fasting is prescribed upon you as it was prescribed for people before you and thats it. Because people should have already known how to do that and didn't need any details about fasting just like salat.

Wow, thank you! I found the Qur'an only way appealing but the people who preach it, there's always something off about them. This is a clear answer and satisfying!

Thank you brother this was very informative how about ending the salat with Praise be to God Lord of the Worlds' Surah 10:10

Brother is it Quran allow eat to meat?

*Salat is NOT any kind of Worship Namaz Ritual Pooja Pot. Quran tells in 2:177, 2:115 that that kind of Rituals are NOT A GOOD DEED*

mate... how are people praying in madina and makkah for centuries then? what about prophet's (peace be upon him)'s mousque?? dude... these places are so beloved to Allah they can't be a lie.. we HAVE to pray 5 times a day man.. please do more research on salat please.

I agree with you about the explanation of bani israel and the cow. You are rigth... But I disagree with you for the salat. Because your argument is to follow blindly in our ancestors footsteps relating to the salat. Nowhere in the quran we see Ibrahim do this ritual 5 times a day or anybody of the prophets and messengers. God tells us not to blindly follow our ancestors. And God say that Ibrahim's generation passed and we would not be asked about what they did. And God does the salat but He dont do a prayer ritual. God tells us how to pray in the quran (call God humbly with fear and hope and glorify Him and ask for His assistance and favors), it has nothing to do with a synchronised ritual invented by persians. Otherwise God would have made it clear and detailed like He detailed divorce and inheritance and where you can eat and with who you can eat and who to marry, etc. Salat is a general term meaning "duty". Not a ritual. Aquimou al salat means in its generality "uphold the duty". God does His duty, we should do ours. And the fatiha explain what is our salat and what is the salat of God. The fatiha is the contract with God. Our salat (duty aka part of the contract) is to serve God and ask for His assistance. God's salat is to assist beleivers and guide them to the straight path IF they do their salat. The fatiha is the definition of the salat. It's not about endlessly reciting the fatiha... its about UPHOLDING the fatiha. The quran is the documentation that tells you how to serve God. There is not just one salat. Praying is a salat but not all salats are praying. An apple is a fruit, but not all fruits are apple. Salat is just a general term. That's why sometimes in in quran salat means something, and other times it means something else. Because there is not just one duty. But the general duty is in the fatiha. To respect our part of the contract. The prophet's salat was to recite the quran to the people, to teach them the writ and wisdom, to purifie them, to warn, etc. The salat has nothing to do with a ritual. This ritual is a bid'a.

This is what happens when you don't read the Koran carefully. You say look at the majority of the Muslims how they pray but God says in the quran the majority will fail. Salat is easy. The obligation to obey the laws of god. İt is a duty.

so if Allah calls AlQuran "fussilat"/41:3, (fully detailed/explained in detail)/6:114. you say that AlQuran doesn't detail Salah? wake up and quit trying to call others fools, while yourself becoming the foolish one here. also to your claim as if Salaah was in practive, it was actually practiced wrongly by the pagans, that's even explained in AlQuran that their Salaah was not but whistling and clapping at the House, so quit seeking forefathers when you've tanzeel. also about your claim that we shouldn't mention anyone, HOW DO YOU PRAY THEN? there are prayers for brothers, don't you pray that? or will you say that you can't ask that? so know the context before talking, & better think deeper. also, that's a good point which I also mention as in 2:108, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't use intellect/12:2. I like to take example of Salaah simply by verse 3:113, and the dua I may do in sajdah position as in 17:109. also to note, you should work on your tajweed bro. peace.

Salam bro, Firstly, thank you for a sincere presentation. I lo e your analogies from the Quran. But i wish to highlight a few points that will God willing make you ponder and perhaps help me. 1. There is a massive difference between the reluctance you referenced and a person like me that's grown up as a traditional muslim fed hadith their entire life trying to make sense of it all. I bring with me preconceived notions due to my upbringing and these are things i try to shed myself of all the time. Even after 18 years of being on this path. When i question the verses i ak doing so to prevent myself from falling into the same trap of idolatry that i was in before. 2. You mentioned that the god already gives us everything we need in the quran to figure out how to pray, but then you never actually referenced it, instead you pointed to the majority of muslims and how they pray. There are a few things wrong with this. Universal truth isnt measured in mass appeal. The current physical ritual prayer being performed is based on ancient Zoroastrians and simply removing the idolatry from the prayer is pointless because one can attempt to do the same with any prayer from any believing individual. Why would God expect us to look to people he calls hypocrites and idol worshippers to establish an understanding of what salat is. This makes no sense at all. 3. Salat and its derivatives have many different applications in the quran. I am not saying that it doesn't refer to a specific thing, but like others have said it is all context. God tells us to study the quran, to think and to be sincere. 4. There is no punishment for not performing the salat. Not taking away from its importance, im just highlighting that we cannot grab over 90 verses scattered through out the book and piece together what we have today with the traditional Muslims. 5. You didnt actually show us how to pray. And i think this may have been deliberate because you know that using your method everyone will pray differently. Your method is basically imitation minus the idolatry. 6. What about people that come to the quran and know nothing about traditional Muslims? How did they pray? 7. What did Abraham do? If he was performing the salat? He didnt have people to imitate. Nor did he have specific instructions in a book. We need to keep in mind that whatever conclusion we come to about salat it needs to be realistic enough to imagine abaraham able to do it, based on common sense and what information we do have in thr book. Allah knows best

And what you say is how we know how to pray is that we look how others pray and we pray like that, but what if someone calling himself a muslim but is praying by lying down on ghe ground or is prayint toward a something, how can we know that it is actually how we pray?

You are refuting hadiths by making yourself a hadith hahaha. How credible, honest and intelligent this is !!!

*Who are الْمُصَلِّينَ the Musalleen ?* Is it those who observe the ritual prayers ? Lets find out. 70:19 Verily, man is created with an anxious disposition. 70:20 When they are afflicted, they complain, 70:21 And when good touches him, withholding [of it], 70:22 Except الْمُصَلِّينَ the MUSALLEEN. 70:23 *Those in their SALAT (صَلَاتِهِمْ) who are CONSTANT (دَائِمُونَ).* 70:24 *And They (Al Musalleen) are those who assign a certain share of their money/property (أَمْوَالِهِمْ)* 70:25 *for the needy (لِلسَّائِلِ) and the deprived (وَالْمَحْرُومِ),* 70:26 *And (Al Musalleen are those) who acknowledge/accept as true (يُصَدِّقُونَ) the Day of Judgment (بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ),* 70:27 *And (Al Musalleen are the ones) who are afraid of the torment of their Lord,* 70:28 the punishment of their Lord is not something for them to feel secure of, 70:29 *And (Al Musalleen are the ones) who guard (حَافِظُونَ) their modesty* 70:30 Except from their spouses or what they possess rightfully then indeed, they (are) not blameworthy, 70:31 but whoever goes beyond this is a transgressor; 70:32 *And (Al Musalleen are those) who honor their trust and promises(وَعَهْدِهِمْ),* 70:33 *And (Al Musalleen are those) who testify to what they have witnessed (شَهَادَةَ),* 70:34 *And (Al Musalleen are) those who, on their SALAT صَلَاتِهِمْ keep a guard يُحَافِظُونَ,* 70:35 such people will receive due honor in Paradise. Further Clarification of ayahs 70:22-34 *Spending Wealth, Charity* 70:24 They (Al Musalleen) are those who assign a certain share of their money/property (Amwālihim أَمْوَالِهِمْ). 70:25 for the needy and the deprived, Clarification : [107:1] Do you know who rejects the deen [107:2] Who turns away the orphan [107:3] And does not encourage the feeding of the poor. [107:4] So woe to those "LILMUSALLEENA" لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ [107:5] [But] who are heedless of their "SALAT" صَلَاتِهِمْ [11:87] They said: "O Shu'ayb, does your SALAT order you that we leave what our fathers served, or that we do not do with our money/property (Amwālina أَمْوَالِنَا) as we please? It seems only you are the compassionate, the wise!" [9:103] Take from their money/property(Amwālihim أَمْوَالِهِمْ) a charity (صَدَقَةً) to purify them and develop them with it, and make SALAT with them; for your SALAT is a tranquility for them; and God is Hearer, Knowledgeable. *Belief, Qualities:* 70:26 (And Musalleen are those) who acknowledge the Day of Judgment, Clarification : [27:3] Those who establish "SALAT" and contribute towards purification. *AND THOSE WHO ARE CERTAIN ABOUT THE LIFE-TO-COME.* [4:162] who perform the "SALAT" diligently, and contribute towards purification, *AND BELIEVE IN ALLAH AND THE AFTERLIFE* *Guarding Ones Modesty* 70:29 (Al Musalleen are the ones) who preserve their chastity 70:30 except from their spouses and those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock], for which they incur no blame Clarification : [29:45] Recite, what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish "SALAT". *Indeed, "SALAT" prohibits immorality and wrongdoing,* and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do. *Fulfill Pledges, promises:* 70:32 (Al Musalleen are those) who honor their trust and promises, Clarification : [2:177] ...establish "SALAT", and contribute towards purification, *AND FULFILL THE PLEDGES/PROMISES MADE BY THEM.* *Truthful Testimony* 70:33 And (Al Musalleen are those) who testify to what they have witnessed (بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ), Clarification : [5:106] O you who believe, witnessing (شَهَادَةُ) shall be done if death is approaching one of you and a will is being made, by two among you who are equitable. If you have gone forth in the land, and death is approaching, then any two may suffice - if you have a doubt regarding them, then detain them after making the *SALAT,* and they will swear by God: "We will not purchase with it any price, even if it was from a near relative, *AND WE WILL NOT CONCEAL THE TESTIMONY (شَهَادَةَ)* of God, else we are of the sinners." *Guard the Salat* 70:34 *And (Al Musalleen are) those who, on their SALAT صَلَاتِهِمْ keep a guard يُحَافِظُونَ,* Clarification : [6:92] And this is a Book which We have sent down, blessed, authenticating what is between his hands, and that you may warn the capital of the towns and those around it. And those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, *AND THEY GUARD THEIR SALAT.* ritual prayers destroyed. Quran(الْقُرْآنِ) Alone(وَحْدَهُ) Peace

Salam. Seems like you are contradicting your own position brother. When it comes to written tradition, you rail against it with all your might. But when it comes to ritualistic tradition, you encourage adopting it, with the caveat that one should remove the impurities. That is a similar argument that hadithens make when they say we will only accept those hadith which don't contradict the Qur'an. Both arguments appear fallacious and against Qur'ans injunctions. Anyway, peace to you and thanks for your efforts.

I seem to be getting confused the Quran talks about the two prayers at the two ends of the day I get that I don't understand the middle prayer it's quite controversial and in this video it sounds like it is obligatory when I hear also in the Quran that it's not obligatory so this is very confusing here

Isn't that Quran commands to perform SALAT at sunrise and sunset? That makes it 2 prayers in the day and not 5. How do we know the methods of SALAT of Abraham?

Assalamu alaykum, brother, I have a question, Saying the Shahada “Ashadu an lā ʾilāha ʾillā -llāh” or some rendition of the Shahada that only mentions God after the second and last unit while sitting kneeling ( before I used to read Attahiyat dua ) can u suggest duo that only God mentions while sitting kneeling, I thought this question is it right to ask or not, because i told myself I will find myself, but i lost patience

The Quran says: God asserts in the Quran that the prescribed Salat must be observed at specific times only: The Salat is decreed for the believers for 'kitabban mawqutan'. 4:103 The words "kitabban mawqutan" mean that the Salat has been given specific times in the 'kitab' (th The question is how do you travel from one continent to another? I mean keep the time of sunset and sunrise? Second question: How do you manage if you cannot go away from work and pray?

First of all you are translation word "Salat" to "Prayer" is wrong. "Dwa" means Prayer.

you say that the verse says that there are 2 salahs during the time between fajr and maghrib and they are dhuhur and asr and there is other salah during the near parts of night/layl and that is maghrib. but the verse doesn't say this (even the translation you gave doesn't). the translation says establish salah at the two ends of the day and near parts of the night. so one of the two ends can not be the night prayer (as it follows the sentence "and the two ends of the day" and is mentioned by itself). so the ends are fajr and noon (when the sun is fully up) and near parts of layl/night is isha. maghrib is not in the quran.

8:25 Rowen...."...there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and placed in every college..."the stiffening of the vertebrae...". Such beautiful expressions, Language.. the spoken and the written...a few of the countless gifts that the ALMIGHTY AR-RAHMAAN has given us to truly marvel at! Never to take for granted but to appreciate it for what it is.

Brother, this video is 2yrs old, i certainly hole youve read more quran latley. I am one who has quran alone tendencies but i believe you have overlooked some verses of the quran that tells us to recite what has been inspired to you from the quran. Theres a great benefit to it. Theres a verse in The quran that tells us to recite the fatiha before any more verses of the quean. Which means we can recite whatever surah ir ayats we like. Towarss the end of your video you seem to be telling us not to recite anything except for the fatiha, which by the way, if you had power or authority, to rhe extreme, youd be forbidding it? Which the quran would make major threats against you. Please read more quran and fix some if these issues brother. Also, theres nothing wrong with making dua towards abraham as abraham is mentioned in the torah, which the quean confirms, the torah, god tells abraham that who ever blesses him they will be blessed. Which is something the quran does, which in turn looks like something Muhammad did. Some people here might understand the concept that people start by following the prophets or messengers, so they can learn how to connect with god. True prophets and true messengers have always told people to look away from them and look tkwards god. The quran says to remember your lord within yourself. The Quran also says to muhammad that they look at you but can the blind be guided? Please correct yourself with a newer video.

Hello I have been listening to your talks lately and I find your approach very interesting, articulate and meaningful however I'm still evaluating the relevancy of a strictly Quran approach. No doubt certain schools of thought highjacked a big portion of the Deen throughout history and a vast majority of Muslims today aren't prone to questioning anything which leads to lots of backwardness and ignorance. At the same time, saying that ALL of the traditions of the Prophet are to be abandoned I still disagree. There are native scholars who devoted their entire lives to deciphering the language of the Quran and even they will struggle with the incredible depth of it. You can't just pick up a dictionary and venture into root words and base all your belief on your approach You can worship God only whilst following the example of the Prophet peace be onto him for as long as it doesn't contradict the Quran. When you accomplish your Solat, should you utter Shahada or blessings to the Prophet peace be onto him you're not praying TO him but wholeheartedly acknowledge his prophethood and how much you love him for showing us how to worship God all mighty by his example. So that in the end, whether you pray more or less Rakkats, keep some silent and some loud, doesn't really matter, as long as your Niyyat is genuinely trying to getting closer to God the way his last beloved prophet did? Whilst knowing that actual worship belongs to God and God only. What are your thoughts on such a balanced approach? I follow scholars like Sheikh Hamza Yusuf and the likes who have devoted their lives to the study of Islam and preach the message ik unambiguous terms, but according to your views, they are committing Shirk and destined to eternal punishment? Isn't there a more balanced approach? Nonetheless you have my respect for your very interesting insights into applying the Quran today. Peace

Makes no sense that we should recite the Qur'an to Allah ...

Will you talk about punishments and laws in Quran? Are they applicable for all times and all ages?

Where it says in Quran there is 5 sallats ?????? Where it says in the Quran all these things you saying about starting the sallat by Allahu akbar????? You are a liar 🤥 If you confirmed 5 sallats but not from Quran = liar

QURAN is the best hadith. We should not utter single word beside QURAN everything elaborately described I n QURAN .we should start Salah with sura 23 verse no 97.,98 and end with sura 10, verse 10 when any believer Of QURAN in front of you say salamun alikum sura 6 verse 54

If Qur'aan or man made religious beliefs or an ummah of Denominational Muslim of priests who divide the ummah of Rasool Muhammad pbuh, who gives literal meanings of each ayah , who bring the rituals as in outer limbs cleaning instead of God's commandments of Rabbal Aalameen Lord of unfailingly LOVE to all of Humanity. Muttaqeen means cleaning of your self from within. Spiritual journey is about being pure from within. Alhamdulilah. Acts of rituals were revealed already with the Father of all Abrahamic faiths. So the act of bowing prostrating was done from God's Prophets PBUT all

This is a nothing burger. Hate to say it but this makes no sense at all. You need to watch brother Jusuf from Quran centric. No one else comes even close to explaining Salat better than him. No one.

My brother, your logic has slippage, but this forum is not sufficient for a decent exchange

Salamun Alaikum. Most of the things you are talking about from out side the Quran. And you just said that Salat is not in detail in Al Quran and that means we need to follow our forefather and that direct against Al Quran.

Thank you brother for your beautiful work. Yes I believe that we are the followers of millate Ibrahim , If there was no salat why prophet Mohammed built the mosque in Madina | I believe that Prophet Mohammed followed the rituals of prophet Ibrahim . Messenger of covenant Dr Rashad Khalifa was also a follower of rituals of prophet Ibrahim through prophet Mohammed.

Salam brother, I didn’t watch the video but I read your article. Your basically saying we should just follow the salah that’s being passed down. Brother me and you both know how corrupt humans are. How can you trust a practise being passed down??? Look what happened to the Hadith???? Quran 2:170 And if they are told: "Follow what God has sent down," they say: "No, we will follow what we found our fathers doing!" What if their fathers did not comprehend anything and were not guide I follow everything in the Quran. Anything not in their I don’t need to know

Assalamu alaykum, brother I watched The principles of contact prayer - Dr. Rashad Khalifa video, he said u begin with Al- Fatiha praying and other step go on, question we cannot recite other Sura after Fatiha, for example u begin fatiha after Fatiha, Ihlas sura, I didn’t understand fully, can u explain a lit bit, please

That's the main question if salat was a ritual ,god would have mentioned it,if it was really important ritual god would have written it but it isn't so God didn't write it the removing impurities part is for reading the Quran simple bro

When your app wil come in anderiod

Ah. One thing I'm having a conflict with is the mentioning of Muhammad pbuh in Salah. When we mention him, we're not praising him, he is our Rasool and Prophet, we are his Ummah, so we pray for peace and blessings on him. If I can ask for myself, why can't I ask for the Messenger as well? It's absolutely clear that he isn't worshipped in the Salah, only Allah is, and we even have to ask FROM Allah, so where is the worship of the Prophet in it? I don't agree with this part and I will continue to pray for peace and blessings on him until I see conclusive proof or evidence that he shouldn't even by mentioned in the slightest.

There no salat in quran does mean pray nither was rashid kalafia a messenger from God the fajr isha not pray times

I filter out a lot, especially the silent stuff, other people, and Amen.

{ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّۚ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ صَلُّواْ عَلَيۡهِ وَسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمًا } [Surah Al-Ahzâb: 56] God and His angels bless the Prophet- so, you who believe, bless him too and give him greetings of peace.

I completely disagree with you, but I respect your point. There are plenty of things in the Quran that shows how. You constantly contradicted yourself the Quran is pure and complete. Nothing should be added to it as Allah has said. And if you disagree, you’re actually going against Allah just because it’s been done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s correct. Same thing as with Christian church is praying the rosary or crossing themselves those teaching were never of the Bible, those are man-made things as praying five times a day are man-made.

So you take the Quraan from the Messenger and his followers , yet say that Ahaadeeth are merely inconcise or incorrect or even false in regards to our core practices. I thought this was a good channel but the educator is a little in need of a rethink about his statements on core beliefs. Ps. Your view is very similar to Quraanyioon but on a tangent . I wont be following so no great loss to you anyway. May Allah SWT guide us all to the path his Beloved showed us . Ameen !

The guy can not even pronounce the shahada properly.

How can anyone be "Quran only" when the Quran tells us to follow the other scriptures, psalms, Torah, injeel etc.

Mention the verses where Ibrahim, Ismael, Isaac etc did the ritual prayer. "even the idol worshippers quraish prayed salah" this sentence holds lots of answers bro.

BROOOO. PLS PLS. DISCUSS JESUS IN QURAN. SON OF MAN OR WHAT?????

Little knowledge is dangerous. Your Quran Alone theolovy is new and too superficial. Unlike the mainstream Islamic theology (Sunni & Shia), yours is too skin deep theology. It will take a decade of PhD researches before it can be taken as a legitimate theology.

NICE

This person is Much Much less Trustworthy than any Hadith.

go on

I think, the KILLER was among the questioner. The shaitan who thinks he can get away from murder.

Nope, Allah is not a specific Name like The God. Its generic and carries only one meaning thru out ANY LANGUAGES! God is NOT an ARAB!

The Creator Name is Allah...god is His title.

The Creator name is Allah...god is his title

You seem like an intelligent fellow and you even have an app for the quran. So, you do the solat and you recite the quran back to Allah. Imagine yourself doing one of those repetitious Ramadan solats and you happen to recite this verse back to Allah: 6:151 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Come! Let me recite to you what your Lord has forbidden to you: do not associate others with Him ˹in worship˺. ˹Do not fail to˺ honour your parents. Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for you and for them. Do not come near indecencies, openly or secretly. Do not take a ˹human˺ life-made sacred by Allah-except with ˹legal˺ right. This is what He has commanded you, so perhaps you will understand. Don't you feel ridiculous reciting that back to Allah when He sent it down as guidance, mercy and wisdom for us humans? So, who told you to recite the quran back to Allah? Surely Allah did not command you to do that, so why do you insist on reciting the verses of the quran back to Allah? I can give you at least 10 verses that says "when the verses of the quran are recited to you" such as 8:31 ; 10:15 ; 19:73 ; 22:72 ; 31:7 ; 34:43 ; 45:25 ; 46:7 ; 68:15 & 83:13. Now, using your fancy quran app, you give me just one verse that commands you to recite the verses of the quran back to Allah and I will revert to worshipping the stone cube situated in the Arabian desert. How is that? Fair? salam.
