Kedamaian Untuk Semua,
Melalui blog ini, saya menerima kiriman e-mail dari para pembaca dalam jumlah yang banyak.
Saya merasa amat terharu dengan sokongan yang diberi.
Ianya datang bukan sahaja dari mereka yang beragama Islam. Malah, terdapat para pembaca yang beragama Sikh, Hindu dan Buddha memberi pendapat dari sudut agama yang mereka anuti.
Ada yang memberi bahan bacaan, ada yang memberi idea. Ada juga yang menceritakan bagaimana blog ini membebaskan mereka dari belenggu mental.
Paling banyak ialah kiriman e-mail yang mahu bertemu dengan saya.
Saya amat-amat berterima kasih dan menghargai kesemua sokongan ini.
Mungkin suatu hari nanti, apabila negara kita mengamalkan kebebasan berfikir, kita dapat bertemu dan berdiskusi dengan bebas dan damai.
Berikut adalah sebuah artikel dari seorang pembaca. Saya mengguna initial K.L sebagai ganti nama beliau.
Semoga saudara K.L berada di dalam keadaan sihat bersama keluarga tercinta.
Saya menyiarkan tulisan Saudara K.L tanpa edit.
Sedikit informasi mengenai Hamza Abd Malik. Beliau ialah seorang penceramah yang aktif di Amerika Syarikat. Anda boleh mendengar ceramah beliau di youtube dengan membuat carian di atas nama Hamza Abd Malik.
Sebarang pertanyaan mengenai artikel ini boleh di buat di ruangan komentar dan ditujukan kepada Saudara K.L.

Salam Ashwed,
Thank
you for inviting me to contribute. I'm new here, so I listen a lot. One
of them was from a YouTube by Hamzah. All I did was putting it in
writing and cut-paste the Quranic verses. I hope you will find it useful.
(Graphics might appear odd, it's the Arabic cut-paste, and also because I did all this on the iPhone Notes)
٢ أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ
غَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا۟
فِيهِ ٱخْتِلَٰفًا كَثِيرًا82
4:82 Do they not ponder the Quran? Had it been from any other than God, they would have found in it much discrepancy.
Given that - is a strong statement from Allah about the Quran, about his commandment, we will take that as a concept to examine
- if there are discrepancies in the ritual salat?
If there are, then we can say it is obviously not sanctioned by the Quran.
We should also unlock our minds - suspend
any notions of ritual salat that was in-build within us given the fact
that the salat was our daily ritual for much of our life.
Back to the Quran,
Allah creates then guides...
٠ قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلْقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ50
He said, "Our Lord is He who gave everything its creation, then guided it."
God gives creation then He guides it...through this book that you may ponder its ayat and those who use intellect will mind
38:29
٢٩ كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ29
A blessed Book that We sent down to you, that they may ponder its Verses, and for those with intelligence to take heed.
do they not reflect on Quran or are there locks in their mind?
47:24
٢٤ أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ24
Will they not ponder the Quran? Or are there locks upon their hearts?
CREATES then GUIDES - why man do not use the guidance with intellect to discern?
Critical thinking is required here, for example why did He mentioned about the Birds' Salat?
24:41
١ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلطَّيْرُ صَٰٓفَّٰتٍ ۖ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُۥ وَتَسْبِيحَهُۥ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ41
Do
you not realize that God is glorified by whatever is in the heavens and
the earth, and even by the birds in formation? Each knows its salata
and its manner of tasbih. God knows well what they do.
...Allah is glorified....birds' wings out-spread...each one knows it's salat and tasbih...
Is this salat? Prayer? Bird make salat?
Make Wudu? Face kiblah?
Let's now begin, by examining the Quranic word for prayer?
3:61
٦١ فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ نَدْعُ أَبْنَآءَنَا وَأَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ61
And
if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has
come to you, say, "Come, let us call our children and your children, and
our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us pray
God's curse on the liars."
Nabtahil - let us earnestly pray... Ta Ha La .. - (to curse someone)
2:186
٦ وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ186
And
when My servants ask you about Me, I Am near; I answer the call of the
caller when he calls on Me. So let them answer Me, and have faith in Me,
that they may be rightly guided.
when my servant ask...I answer the prayer - doa -....Da 'Aa - to call, invoke, pray...
Why not use doa for salat? Can one doa for 'pray' for me?
Now let's look at the connection between doa and the Rasul.
٤٤ وَأَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ فَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَخِّرْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ ٱلرُّسُلَ ۗ أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُوٓا۟ أَقْسَمْتُم مِّن قَبْلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٍ44
And
warn mankind of the Day when the punishment will come upon them, and
the wicked will say, "Our Lord, defer us for a little while, and we will
answer Your call and follow the messengers." Did you not swear before
that there will be no passing away for you?
...we will respond to yr doa/call and taat/follow the messengers...
28:47
٤٧ وَلَوْلَآ أَن تُصِيبَهُم مُّصِيبَةٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ47 Otherwise,
if a calamity befell them as a result of what their hands have
perpetrated, they would say, "Our Lord, if only You had sent us a
messenger, we would have followed Your revelations, and been among the
believers."
....why not send us a rasulan/messenger so that we follow Your ayati/messages...
Ultimately - purpose of the Rasul - is us following the messages from Allah that the Rasul conveyed.
3:144
١٤٤ وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ ۚ أَفَإِي۟ن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَنقَلِبْ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا ۗ وَسَيَجْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ144
Muhammad
is no more than a messenger. Messengers have passed on before him. If
he dies or gets killed, will you turn on your heels? He who turns on his
heels will not harm God in any way. And God will reward the
appreciative.
muhamadun is but a messenger...if he dies or slain will u turn back?...
he is only a messenger...he delivered the messages - when you have his messages - now u don't need the messenger..?
Right? His duty of delivery is done, the Quran/guidance is in our hands....
2:186 Allah hears yr doa, he responds...
٤٥ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ ۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ45
Say, "I am warning you through inspiration." But the deaf cannot hear the call when they are being warned.
...I warn you by wahyee, but the deaf will not hear the doa (call)...when they are warn.
So now we know 'doa' is inviting - not praying..
16:125
١٢٥ ٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَٰدِلْهُم بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ125
Invite
to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice, and debate with
them in the most dignified manner. Your Lord is aware of those who stray
from His path, and He is aware of those who are guided.
ud'u - invite, call to the way of yr sustainer...
We now have one word left - Sa La - to turn towards something.
SaLa - is something commanded from Allah. He commands us to keep up salah.
6:162-164
١٦٢ قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ162
Say, "My sola and my sacrifice, and my life and my death, are devoted to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
١٦٣ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُۥ ۖ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ163
No associate has He. Thus I am commanded, and I am the first of those who submit.
So it's a command.
20:132
١٣٢ وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ132
And
exhort your people to solati, and patiently adhere to it. We ask of you
no sustenance, but it is We who sustain you. The good ending is that
for righteousness.
command yr family to SaLa...be steadfast in its maintenance...
we do not ask of you any provision - we provide for you - the outcome is takwa (godwariness ?)
Back to where we started...
4:82 if this kitab not from God, you'll find discrepancy in it...
our task is to find one discrepancy in ritual prayer to conclude that it is not a command from God..?
Begin ritual by AllahuAkbar... big large, kabir...akbar - bigger - comparable to something else... (AlAkbar - biggest)
Allah use alKabiri
40:12 ...because when Allah alone is
invoked, you would kafartum, but if partners were ascribe to him you
would tukminu...judgement is to Allah the AllExalted, alKabiri,
AllGreatest.
Never refers to Himself as AlAkbar...
12:40 you serve not besides Him but names that you and yr fathers have given, for which Allah sents no sultani.....He has commanded you to serve none except Him - that is the upright deen - but most people do not know.
7:180 to Allah belong the best names, so call (fad 'u) him by them. And abandon those who violate His names...
Akbar is bigger...bigger than who?
Begin salat by AllahuAkbar is not sanctioned by Quran....
Another proof - Ritual prayer is not
Quranic is because you are reciting this quranic ayats to Allah...when
He does not sanction that..!! God does not need guidance.
17:106 we have sent the Quran in parts - so that you may read it to the PEOPLE a little at a time...
So Allah does not say that the Quran should be recited to Him, but to be recited to the people - (for guidance)
84:21 ...when it's recited upon them the Quran, do not sujud? / approve of?
84:22 but those kafaru yukazzibuna / they deny
When you hear the Quran, you have to approve of it, or submit to its commandments & concepts...
So you don't read the Quran to Allah, for obvious reasons..!!
17:107 ...aminu by it or do not
tukminu...indeed those given with ilma from before it, when it's recited
upon them, they nodded down their faces in approval.
Are you also suggesting that Allah too nodded down face in approval upon hearing Quran?
So Quran is meant to be recited for people to attain its concerns and messages.
Let's look at the appropriateness of saying to Allah in ritual salat...
108:1 to 3 indeed we have granted you
alKawthar. So solli to your sustainer and sacrifice. Indeed your enemy,
he the one severed.
How can we give Allah, alKawthar..??
So the Quran cannot be recited to Allah, so that makes the Quranic recitation in ritual salat invalid.
The Fatehah...a request for divine guidance...this plea is by monotheists who ask for further guidance...
Do you think the prophet asked for divine guidance 5 times daily..?
6:161 ...indeed me, I've been guided by my lord to a straight path - deen up righted, the way of Abrahim the hanifa.
Some could ask the prophet...why are you
asking Allah for guidance, when just now the Quran you bring tells us
you have already been guided by Him..?
Why would the prophet ask for guidance again and again, when Allah has said you are guided..?? Did he not trust the Quran?
It's insanity - You obviously don't do the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result?
5:15 oo people of the book, there has come to you our Rasul, clarifying
for you much of what you have concealed from the book, and overlook
much...there has come to you from Allah a Light, and a Clear Book.
5:16 Guides
Allah by it those who follow his Redwan, the ways of Peace, and brings
them from darkness to Light by his Izin, and guides them to the straight
path.
So you are guided with this Book...why
are you asking for guidance over and over again? Why? Don't you trust /
iman with this book? This book doesn't tell you how to do ritual
salat...so you don't trust?
3:7 It is He who has sent down to you,
the Book; in it are verses precise - they are the foundation of the
Book - and others unspecific.
As for those in whose hearts is
deviation, they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking
discord and seeking an interpretation.
And no one knows its interpretation
except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All
is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of
understanding.
3:8 Our Lord, let not our hearts
deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy.
Indeed, You are the Bestower.
We do not want to get lost after His guidance.
9:115
And Allah would not let a people stray
after He has guided them until He makes clear to them what they should
avoid. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all things.
You don't have to worry - Allah will not lead you astray after He has guided you. That's Allahs commitment..!!
Therefore reciting the Fatehah over and
over again for guidance when we have the guidance is REDUNDANT - when
Allah promises you guidance by the Quran, and He won't let you go astray
after you follow the guidance.
Request for guidance is for the monotheist...example of David
38: 22 When they entered upon David
and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two
adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with
truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path.
Another point this ritual is invalid is
the silent solat of Zohor & Asar...it's pointless to silently recite
the Quran, when the Quran must be heard by people for it to be a
guidance to anyone.
17:110 Say, "Call Him God, or call Him
the Most Merciful. Whichever name you use, to Him belong the Best
Names." And be neither loud in your solah, nor silent in it, but follow a
course in between.
Doing Zohor & Asar is totally in violation of this...
But what does Allah wants us to say..?
17:111 And say, "Praise be to God, who
has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He
an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him magnificently.
And as a standard instruction...
When God is speaking...
7:204 When the Quran is recited, listen to it, and pay attention, so that you may experience mercy.
....so you stop talking and listen.
4:43 O
you who amanu, Do not approach the solah while you are drunk, so that
you know what you say; nor after sexual orgasm-unless you are
travelling-until you have bathed. If you are sick, or traveling, or one
of you comes from the toilet, or you have had intercourse with women,
and cannot find water, find clean sand and wipe your faces and your
hands with it. God is Pardoning and Forgiving.
We are trying to see what is NOT of the solah....
We are investigating until we find the reason that ritual solah does not uphold the Quranic concept.
29:45 recite what is revealed to you of the scripture, and perform the solah. Surely solah prevents indecencies and evils. And the remembrance of God is greater. And God knows what you do.
Remembering Allah is greater because you can only do solah when you remember Allah...right?
We are saying if you do the Quranic
solah, as in following the dictates of Quran - it's impossible for you
to do those indecencies....
Whereas if you do ritual prayers it is not impossible for you to commit indecencies later...!
Where else do we get this fahsha i wal mungkar...?
24:21
o you who amanu, do not follow Shytani's footsteps. Whoever follows
Shytani's footsteps - he advocates obscenity and immorality. Where it
not for God's grace towards you, and his mercy, not one of you would
have been zakah/pure, ever. But God purifies whomever He wills. God is
All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Shytan makes you possible to do fahsha & mungkar.
But If you do Quranic solah, Allah commits Himself that you will not be able to do fahsha & mungkar.
17:32 And do not come near adultery. It is fahishatan/immoral, and a saa'a/evil way.
Don't go near fahishatan, the way there is evil...
Ritual solah does not issue commands...whereas the Quranic order people to do things...
11:84 ...."O my people, worship God;
you have no god other than Him. And do not short measure or short
weight. I see you in good circumstances...
11:85 "O my people! Give full measure
and full weight, in all fairness, and do not cheat the people out of
their rights, and do not spread corruption in the land.
11:86 What is left by God is best for you, if you are believers. And I am not a guardian over you."
11:87 They said, "O Shuaib, does your
solah command you that we abandon what our ancestors worshiped, or
doing with our wealth what we want? You are the one who is intelligent
and wise."
See here the Quranic solah is a set of commands to :-
1- serve Allah only, no other
2- do not short change in dealings
3- give full measure to what's due
4- to be fair
5- do not cheat people of their rights
6- do not spread mufsiden/corruption on earth
7- a reminder that whatever is left by Allah for you is good, if you trust Him.
8- a reminder again that the Nabi is NOT our guardian.
So the ritual solah does not commands you
to do anything. Whereas the Quranic solah commands us to do justice and
promote doing reforms which will lead to abolishing fahsha &
mungkar.
Heard anybody said to you, bro can you make solah for me..?
9:99
٩٩ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَٰتٍ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَصَلَوَٰتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌ لَّهُمْ ۚ سَيُدْخِلُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ99
Yet
among the Arabs are those who yukminu in God and the Last Day, and
consider their contribution to be a means of drawing close to God, and
the solawati of the Messenger. Surely it will draw them closer, and God
will admit them into His mercy. God is Forgiving and Compassionate.
9:100, 101, 102
9:103
١٠٣ خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّ صَلَوٰتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ103
Receive contributions from their wealth,
to purify them and sanctify them with it; and solli for them. Your
solawata is comfort for them. God is Hearing and Knowing.
So it's like 'make solah for me?'...
It's solah of Rasul for the Arabs.
So it's definitely not the ritual solah the prophet is doing for the Arabs.
6:161
١٦١ قُلْ إِنَّنِى هَدَىٰنِى رَبِّىٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ دِينًا قِيَمًا مِّلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۚ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ161
Say, "My Lord has guided me to a straight
path, an upright religion, the creed of Abraham the Monotheist, who was
not a polytheist."
6:162
١٦٢ قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ162
Say, "My solah and my worship, and my life and my death, are devoted to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
6:163
١٦٣ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُۥ ۖ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
163 No associate has He. Thus I am commanded, and I am the first of those who submit.
So solah is for Allah only...but why solah of Rasul is a way of getting closer to Allah of the Arabs..?
It's because solah is not ritual prayers.
It is commitment to obey the commands in
the Quran. The Rasul is committed in delivering the guidance to the
Arabs, that's why they can draw closer to Allah.
That's why the Arabs were happy, comfortable by the Rasul's solah/commitment, because the Rasul was in their company...
But not for us, the Rasul is not among us now, but the guidance/Quran is with us...
And the one place where we might find ritual solah in the Quran - it's being condemned..!
٣٥ وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِندَ ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَّا مُكَآءً وَتَصْدِيَةً ۚ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ35
Their solah at the House was nothing but whistling and clapping-so taste the punishment for your blasphemy.
If all the points above is right, then the ritual solah is not Quranic. We started by declaring
4:82
٢ أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا۟ فِيهِ ٱخْتِلَٰفًا كَثِيرًا82
Do they not ponder the Quran? Had it been from any other than God, they would have found in it much discrepancy.
...and there are many discrepancies in the ritual solah - against the Quranic consistency.
If we suspends our old beliefs & notions, we find that we are not getting the ritual solah from the Quran.
One definition of salah -
is to turn towards something
to commit to something
to connect to something
to assign a duty to be carried out
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا44
Praising Him are the seven heavens, and the earth, and everyone in
them. There is not a thing that does not tasbih/glorify Him with praise,
but you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing and
Forgiving.
24:1
١ سُورَةٌ أَنزَلْنَٰهَا وَفَرَضْنَٰهَا وَأَنزَلْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَٰتٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ1
A chapter that We have revealed, and made obligatory, and revealed in it clear Verses, that you may take heed.
The key word here is Allah declaring this chapter as Fardhu/obligatory
And here Allah asks, don't you see..?
He asks us to use our intellect to ponder...it means you should have seen all this...
24:41
٤١ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلطَّيْرُ صَٰٓفَّٰتٍ ۖ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُۥ وَتَسْبِيحَهُۥ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ41
Do you not realize that God is glorified by whatever is in the heavens
and the earth, and even by the birds in formation? Each knows its solah
and its manner of praise. God knows well what they do.
Don't you see that...?
That everything does their own tasbih, and Allah knows their tasbih/doing.
It means tasbih is not SAYING, it is YAF'ALUN/DOING/ACTIONS
everything in the heavens and earth are
carrying out (tasbih) assignments assigned to each by Allah, and they
know their commitments (solah) in fulfilling those commands and Allah
knows well all their actions
everyone knows its function and its role in doing the tasks
Now let's look at the purpose of mans creation..?
51:56
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ56
I did not create the jinn and the humans except to serve for Me.
Liyakbudu - is not worship. Do you think
Allah wants us to sit alone do nothing except say things over and over
again and just worship Him?
Yakbudu is to serve Him in action, just as tasbih is action, solah is commitment to do good actions and refraining from bad.
1:5
٥ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ5
It is You alone we serve, and upon You alone we call for help.
٣٦ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًا وَبِذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَٰكِينِ وَٱلْجَارِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْجَارِ ٱلْجُنُبِ وَٱلصَّاحِبِ بِٱلْجَنۢبِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا36
Serve God, and ascribe no partners to
Him, and be good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and
the poor, and the neighbor next door, and the distant neighbor, and the
close associate, and the traveler, and your servants. God does not love
the arrogant showoff.
People like to associate Allah with something else...when Allah alone is mentioned they turn away...
٣٦ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ مَن يُنكِرُ بَعْضَهُۥ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَلَآ أُشْرِكَ بِهِۦٓ ۚ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُوا۟ وَإِلَيْهِ مَـَٔابِ36
Those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in what was revealed to
you, while some factions reject parts of it. Say, "I am commanded to
serve God, and to never associate anything with Him. To Him I invite,
and to Him is my return."
The prophet is commanded to serve Allah and not associate Him with anything else....
٣٧ وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّا ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَمَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍ
Thus We revealed it an Arabic code of
law. Were you to follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come
to you, you would have neither ally nor defender against God.
Solah from Quran...and the Quran is..
75:16
١٦ لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ16 Do not wag your tongue with it, to hurry on with it.
١٧ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ17 Upon Us is its collection and its recitation.
١٨ فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ18 Then, when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
١٩ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ19 Then upon Us is its explanation.
Upon Allah is its arrangement...so we find the first mention of solah is in...
2:3
ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ3
Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the solah, and give from what We have provided for them.
While those who do solah are muttaken - those who do their duty/commitment...as in
2:2
٢ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ2
This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the dutiful.
The next solah is...Allah addressing the Children of Israel...
٤٢ وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ42
And do not mix truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth while you know.
٤٣ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱرْكَعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ43
And attend to your solah, and practice regular charity, and ruku with those who ruku.
Is our ritual prayers same as the Jews? Do they do the 5 daily rituals and go to Mecca?
Did Moses go to Mecca and did Haj?
Any record of history that Moses or Jesus in Mecca doing Haj?
So the Jews were commanded to aqimus solah wa atus zakah.
Next solah mentioned...
2:109...the people of the book wish that after iman you turn kuffar out of their envy...
2:110
١١٠ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ110
And perform the solah, and give purely. Whatever good you forward for
yourselves, you will find it with God. God is Seeing of everything you
do.
Identical words of solah and zakah to the Jews and to Us, used by Allah.
So this solah and zakah - are they the same thing?
Why are stories (Bukhari Vol1 page 211, Hadith
245) outside of Quran that involves Musa, children of Israel - asking
Muhammad to plead with God to reducing the 50 salahs to 5..? while we
have here the exact word for word for command to do solah for both
people?? Doesn't make sense..!!
No commands for individual solah ni Quran.
We go back to Moses about the salah.
10:87
٨٧ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَأَخِيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتًا وَٱجْعَلُوا۟ بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ87
And We inspired Moses and his brother, "Settle your people in Egypt,
and make your homes places of kiblah, and perform the salah, and give
good news to the believers."
١٤ إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ14
I - I am God. There is no God but I. So serve Me, and practice the salah for My remembrance.
Note that the aqimu - they are all plural
- while aqimi is singular, denotes only applicable to the messenger.
His solah is at specific times such as when he delivers the message to
his people, at his convenience of course.
Whereas the solah of the people are at
all times, plural, in order to be able to nahi mungkar, you have to
continually aqimus solah...
Note - while there are no details of
rituals in the Quran - while all the time God proclaims that the Quran
is fully detailed explained clear & contained everything for mans
salvation to God.
We have negated the ritual solah based on
the Quran, we have compared the actual solah need to be identical to
Moses, and we have noted that solah has to be continually done in order
to be able to avoid evil.
In order to know what is the concept of solah of the Quran - is to know who are the mussolleen..?
Who are the doers of solah and see their description.
70:18-35
١٨ وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ18
And accumulated and hoarded.
١٩ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا19
Man was created restless.
٢٠ إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا20
Touched by adversity, he is fretful.
٢١ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا21
Touched by good, he is ungenerous.
٢٢ إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ22
Except the musallen.
٢٣ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ23
Those who are constant at their solahs.
٢٤ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ24
And those in whose wealth is a rightful share.
٢٥ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ25
For the beggar and the deprived.
٢٦ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ26
And those who affirm the Day of Judgment.
٢٧ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ27
And those who fear the punishment of their Lord.
٢٨ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ28
Their Lord's punishment is not to be taken for granted.
٢٩ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ29
And those who guard their chastity.
٣٠ إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ30
Except from their spouses or those living under their control, for then they are free of blame.
٣١ فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ31
But whoever seeks to go beyond that-these are the transgressors.
٣٢ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ32
And those who honor their trusts and their pledges.
٣٣ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ33
And those who stand by their testimonies.
٣٤ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ34
And those who are dedicated to their solahs.
٣٥ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ35
These will be honored in Gardens.
That's the Solah of Mankind. It's their conduct. Not much different from the mukminin.
See how Quran describe the people who trusted the commands of the Quran - the mukminin.
23:1-11
١ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ1
Successful are the trusters.
٢ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَٰشِعُونَ2
Those who are humble in their solahs.
٣ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ3
Those who avoid nonsense.
٤ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ4
Those who work for charity.
٥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ5
Those who safeguard their chastity.
٦ إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ6
Except from their spouses, or their dependents-for then they are free from blame.
٧ فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ7
But whoever seeks anything beyond that-these are the transgressors.
٨ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ8
Those who are faithful to their trusts and pledges.
٩ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ9
Those who safeguard their solahs.
١٠ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ10
These are the inheritors.
١١ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ11
Who will inherit Paradise, wherein they will dwell forever.
Pretty much the same as the musallen.
Solah is keeping yr commitments to God.
Let's look at Moses again, as he was told about solat before Muhammad.
19:51,52
٥١ وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا
And mention in the Scripture Moses. He was dedicated. He was a messenger and a prophet.
٥٢ وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَٰهُ نَجِيًّا
52 And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and brought him near in communion.
Moses being brought up in the court of Pharoh had no idea of solat, until he's called up by God... to do his solah.
20:9-14
٩ وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ9
Has the story of Moses reached you?
١٠ إِذْ رَءَا نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدًى10
When he saw a fire, he said to his family, "Stay; I have noticed a
fire; Perhaps I can bring you a torch therefrom, or find some guidance
by the fire."
١١ فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ11
Then, when he reached it, he was called, "O Moses.
١٢ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى12
I-I am your Lord. Take off your shoes. You are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.
١٣ وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ13
I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed.
١٤ إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ14
I-I am God. There is no God but I. So serve Me, and practice the solah for My remembrance.
What do you mean solah God? Is it the rukuk sujud tahhiyat etc etc? No, no.
Where was Moses before this encounter? He
was with the Midians, with Shuaib. So Moses have already understood
what is solah from Shuaib.
He fully understands solah in 20:14 there. It's about remembrance of Allah, that will lead you to do good things.
Now about those who lost their solahs, those who neglected their solahs.
It's basically two concepts from the Quran, it's guidance or misguided. It's either you're guided or astray.
If you're doing solah and it prevents you
from doing fahsha and mungkar, you're probably then following the
guidance correctly...?
But if you're still committing fahsha and mungkar it's probably because you're not following the guidance?
So it's a cycle, if you turn to guidance
it prevents you from fahsha & mungkar while if you turn away you'll
be committing them....a quagmire.
19:54-60
٥٤ وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ إِسْمَٰعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا54
And mention in the Scripture Ishmael. He was true to his promise, and was a messenger, a prophet.
٥٥ وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرْضِيًّا55
And he used to enjoin on his people solah and charity, and he was pleasing to his Lord.
٥٦ وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا56
And mention in the Scripture Enoch. He was a man of truth, a prophet.
٥٧ وَرَفَعْنَٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا57
And We raised him to a high position.
٥٨ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَٱجْتَبَيْنَآ ۚ إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ خَرُّوا۟ سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا ۩58
These are some of the prophets God has
blessed, from the descendants of Adam, and from those We carried with
Noah, and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from those We
guided and selected. Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious are
recited to them, they would fall down, submitting and weeping.
٥٩ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا59 But they were succeeded by generations who lost the solahs and followed their syahawati/lust. They will meet perdition.
All the people of prophets &
messengers mentioned as following guidance, then after that the followed
their lust and turn away from guidance, not doing their solahs - they
are destined for perdition...
Except...
19:60
إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْـًٔا60
Except for those who repent, and believe, and act righteously. These will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged in the least.
It's about generations after the
messengers who neglected their solahs and turn to their syahawati
instead of following the guidance....
Who are the generations after Ibrahim Ismail Moses Jesus...?
25:30
٠ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مَهْجُورًا30
And the Messenger will say, "My Lord, surely my people have abandoned this Quran."
mahjura...they fled/hijra from this Quran. They turn away from guidance. They are not doing their solah anymore.
The solah is the one that prevents fahsha & mungkar, by leaving solah they have lost the tool.
16:89
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تِبْيَٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ89
On the Day when We raise in every
community a witness against them, from among them, and bring you as a
witness against these. We have revealed to you the Book, as an
explanation of all things, and guidance, and mercy and good news for
those who submit.
16:90
٩٠ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْإِحْسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآئِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْبَغْىِ ۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ90
God commands justice, and goodness, and generosity towards relatives.
And He forbids immorality, and injustice, and oppression. He advises
you, so that you may take heed
So God forbids you the fahsha & mungkar...and the solah also prevents you from fahsha & mungkar...it's the same thing
So people have hijra away from the Quran. Where do they go to?
23:66
قَدْ كَانَتْ ءَايَٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ66
My Verses were recited to you, but you turned back on your heels.
٦٧ مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ67
Arrogant towards it-talked nonsense about it-disregarded it.
٦٨ أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ68
Have they not pondered the Word? Or has there come to them what came not to their forefathers of old?
Instead of heeding the Quran, they tahjurun it - you're outside the Quran talking nonsense about it.
See - mahjura & tahjurun - same hijra away, out from Quran.
What is this nonsense?
Example, the Quran is not detail in how to do the solah. When Quran claims it's already fully detailed.
Example, you insist on wanting to do shahadah when Allah says He is sufficient as witness.
Example, the Quran says those who do fornication give them 100 lashes, while outside Quran ask to stone them to death.
Example, the Quran projects no compulsion in deen, while outside Quran the apostates are to be killed.
....and many more tahjurun...
23:69
٦٩ أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا۟ رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ69
Or is it that they did not recognize their messenger, so they are denying him?
٧٠ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌۢ ۚ بَلْ جَآءَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ
70 Or do they say, "He is possessed?" In fact, he brought them the truth, but most of them hate the truth.
Most of them hate the truth, the Quran alone.
47:2
٢ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَءَامَنُوا۟ بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ2
While those who amanu, and work
righteousness, and believe in what was sent down to Muhammad-and it is
the truth from their Lord-He remits their sins, and relieves their
concerns.
٣ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلْبَٰطِلَ وَأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَمْثَٰلَهُمْ
3 That is because those who kafara
follow falsehoods, while those who believe follow the truth from their
Lord. God thus cites for the people their examples.
...sent down to Muhammad is the
truth..and they mahjura/fled from the Quran and neglect their solah and
follow syahawati/lust and batila/falsehood.
The world that rejects the Quran has neglected the solah.
19:60
إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْـًٔا60
Except for those who repent, and believe, and act righteously. These will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged in the least.
What will they say when they enter paradise?
٣ وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۖ وَقَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَىٰنَا لِهَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِىَ لَوْلَآ أَنْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ ۖ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ وَنُودُوٓا۟ أَن تِلْكُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ43
We will remove whatever rancor is in
their hearts. Rivers will flow beneath them. And they will say, "Praise
be to God, who has guided us to this. Had God not guided us, we would
never be guided. The messengers of our Lord did come with the truth."
And it will be proclaimed to them, "This is the Garden you are made to
inherit, on account of what you used to do."
Only Allah had guided us. Allah alone.
Had Allah not guided us we would never be guided...
If it's Allah and someone, we would be misguided.
The messengers brought the truth and we follow the messages - not the messenger.
And you inherit this Garden out of what you DID, not what you believe.
24:46-51
٤٦ لَّقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ ءَايَٰتٍ مُّبَيِّنَٰتٍ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ46
We sent down enlightening/clear revelations, and God guides whomever He wills to a straight path.
٤٧ وَيَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ47
And they say, "We have believed in God and the Messenger, and we
obey," but some of them turn away afterwards. These are not believers.
٤٨ وَإِذَا دُعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ48
And when they are called to God and His Messenger, in order to judge between them, some of them refuse.
٤٩ وَإِن يَكُن لَّهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ يَأْتُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ مُذْعِنِينَ49
But if justice is on their side, they accept it willingly.
٥٠ أَفِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَمِ ٱرْتَابُوٓا۟ أَمْ يَخَافُونَ أَن يَحِيفَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَسُولُهُۥ ۚ بَلْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ50
Is there sickness in their hearts? Or are they suspicious? Or do they
fear that God may do them injustice? Or His Messenger? In fact, they
themselves are the unjust.
٥١ إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۚ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ51
The response of the believers, when they
are called to God and His Messenger in order to judge between them, is
to say, "We hear and we obey." These are the successful.
Allah alone that guides, not us.
27:76-81
٧٦ إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَكْثَرَ ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ76
This Quran relates to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about.
٧٧ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ77
And it is guidance and mercy for the believers.
٧٨ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ78
Your Lord will judge between them by His wisdom. He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
٧٩ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْمُبِينِ79
So rely on God. You are upon the clear truth.
٨٠ إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا۟ مُدْبِرِينَ80
You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call if they turn their backs and flee.
٨١ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَٰدِى ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَٰلَتِهِمْ ۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ81
Nor can you guide the blind out of their
straying. You can make no one listen, except those who trust in Our
verses; for they are Muslims.
...and Allah makes hearts heedless too...
٢٨ وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا28
18:28
And content yourself with those who call to their Lord morning and
evening, desiring His Presence. And do not turn your eyes away from
them, desiring the glitter of this world. And do not obey him whose
heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance-so he follows his own
desires-and his case are confused.
Those were the solat in Quran.
To end this, let us also see what are the attributes of the Quran.
The Quran calls itself the Furqan. It distinguishes. It gives commands.
44:1-5
1 Ha, Meem.
٢ وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ2
By the Enlightening Scripture.
٣ إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ3
We have revealed it on a Blessed Night-We have warned.
٤ فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ4
In it is distinguished every wise command.
٥ أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
5
A decree from Us. We have been sending messages.
Is solah one of the command? Sure it is.
Nothing is neglected.
٣٨ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَٰٓئِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّآ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ38
There is no animal on land, nor a bird
flying with its wings, but are communities like you. We neglected
nothing in the Scripture. Then to their Lord they will be gathered.
Fully detailed
12:111
١١١ لَقَدْ كَانَ فِى قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ ۗ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ111
In their stories is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This
is not a fabricated tale, but a confirmation of what came before it, and
fully detailed of all things, and guidance, and mercy for people who
believe.
Explanation of all things
16:89
٨٩ وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تِبْيَٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ89
On the Day when We raise in every community a witness against them,
from among them, and bring you as a witness against these. We have
revealed to you the Book, as an explanation of all things, and guidance,
and mercy and good news for those who submit.
The best tafseer/exposition
25:33
٣٣ وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا33 Whatever argument they come to you with, We provide you with the truth, and a better exposition.
Every description made clear.
Easy for rememberance for all.
Why is the Quran clear plain complete detailed...?
٥٤ وَإِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ ۖ أَنَّهُۥ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنكُمْ سُوٓءًۢا بِجَهَٰلَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَنَّهُۥ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ54
When those who trusted in Our revelations come to you, say, "Peace be
upon you, your Lord has prescribed mercy for Himself. Whoever among you
does wrong out of ignorance, and then repents afterwards and reforms-He
is Forgiving and Merciful."
٥٥ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ55
Thus We explain the revelations, and expose the path of the guilty/criminals.
Because Allah had explained the ayati....so that the way of the guilty will be clear.
So now we can see who is not following the huda/guidance.
We made this Quran detailed so that the way of the guilty is clear.
The Quran also has the same attribute as Allah - alAzeem -
69:33
٣٣ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ33
For he would not believe in God the Great.
15:87
٨٧ وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ87
We have given you seven of the pairs, and the Grand Quran.
AlAzeem...same attribute as Quran Because it is His Words.
