🕌 Overview of Ritual Prayers in Islam
This paragraph introduces the topic of ritual prayers (Salat) in Islam, including the different opinions on the number of daily prayers. It explores various perspectives, from traditional scholars who advocate for five prayers to Quran-only Muslims who suggest fewer. The paragraph also briefly mentions concepts like Salat, Salawat, and their interpretations in the Quran. The speaker, Moses, emphasizes that the discussion will remain strictly within the Quranic context.
🕋 Quranic Context of Ritual Prayers
This paragraph delves into specific Quranic verses related to ritual prayers, particularly focusing on the Salat and its timing. The speaker discusses different interpretations of these verses, including the significance of Fajr (dawn prayer) and Tahajjud (night vigil). The paragraph challenges traditional views, suggesting that the Quran does not prescribe a specific number of ritual prayers and that the concept of ritual prayer might be different from what is commonly understood.
📜 The Role of Salat in the Quran
This paragraph continues to analyze Quranic verses, emphasizing the purpose and context of Salat. The speaker argues that Salat is more about maintaining positive connections and fulfilling obligations than performing ritual prayers. The discussion includes the concept of Salawat as tangible obligations and suggests that Salat should be understood as actions that promote societal well-being rather than mere ritual acts.
⚖️ Reinterpreting Traditional Islamic Concepts
In this paragraph, the speaker challenges traditional interpretations of specific Quranic terms like 'Nisa' and 'Aswaj,' arguing that they do not refer to women and wives as commonly understood. The paragraph suggests that these terms have been misinterpreted over time, leading to a misunderstanding of the Quran's message. The speaker encourages viewers to reconsider these interpretations in light of the Quranic context, particularly in relation to divorce and societal roles.

what is the number of Salat you have to
pray per day five three two what is what
is your Asia what is the hajjud what
about
what is the difference between Salat and
salawat what does the Ayah mean when he
talks about Nahar
salaam alaikum I'm Moses and today we're
going to talk about these topics as part
of the series salats in the Quran
a quick warning today's session is
packed there are many topics to cover I
will do two quick Recaps and then we'll
get straight into it they say
there are five racial prayers if you
were to ask a traditional Imam or a
traditional scholar but if you ask some
Quran only Muslims do you might get
different answers some might say there
are three prayers some might say they
are two
they say that salatul Fajr is the Before
Dawn ritual prayer and that Salah is the
evening ritual prayer
well that has been understood
differently by different strains of
thought some call it rasa for some
etc etc
they also say that the 100 is a
voluntary ritual prayer done late at
night
solawat means blessings that the Ayah
we've got the lukashams that Ayah talks
about Fajr a ritual prayer and either
maghribarisha and then they also said
that the Ayah where we got the term that
talks about at least three ritual
prayers
they they say all of that does the Quran
say that that is what we're going to be
talking about and nothing else we will
not get out of the Quran quick reminder
this is the ninth video of the series
Salat in the Quran if you have not
watched the previous videos there are a
lot of the terms that might not make
sense to you straight away I would
really ask you to go and start from the
beginning of the series if you have
questions queries or even criticism to
find the series go to the channel look
for the playlist and tap slash click the
playlist called Salat in the Quran
English
let's start with the first proposition
of seven that we're going to cover today
proposition number one as Salah has no
fixed timings or number per day
requirement
proposition number two asala has
objectives and requires careful
execution
proposition number three the hajjud
means to remain Vigilant During the
period of darkness and confusion
keeping those propositions in mind we're
going to look at two ayats in particular
but we'll also cover the ayat before and
after to see the context of them
now this Ayah here on the right hand
side and the one that comes after
many take these two ayats to come up
with quite a lot of assumptions they say
that this particular part of the Ayah
that talks about at least two prayers if
not more in that this particular term
here or annual Fajr that is talking
about the Fajr ritual prayer being done
early in the morning
and there are some also fanciful claims
about that if there is to be a ritual
Fajr prayer in the morning lead then
they are angels who come and watch and
listen and that is how that particular
prayer in the Morning Becomes a witness
prayer and then they also end up
deriving from this Ayah the nixiah after
this one the hajjut to mean a nightly
ritual prayer there is an extra prayer
should you want to do so
I'm going to read out the gist of the
ayat before these two ayats in English
and after that we will cover these two
ayat in Arabic and English so we can see
whether the propositions we offered give
us a better understanding within the
context of what the Quran is talking
about
let's start from number 70. bunny Adam
has been favored blessed over many not
all by the way people are associated
with the leaders that they choose to
follow warning for those who choose to
remain blind you the follower of the
Quran can be tempted to become their
pathway
the Assurance comes from Allah
punishment would have come to you the
reader for giving in to Temptation they
try to tempt you away from the earth
Sunnah of Allah I.E this phenomenon does
not change has not changed will not
change
this is the context now let's read the
verse in Arabic
Alchemists
restore strengthen fix maintain the
establishment of two-way connections for
the passage movement of the shems
clarity light towards the place occasion
where a lail period of Darkness absence
of new spreads darkens and the Quran
application of Allah's message at the
time of this Fajr
surely Allah guidance at the time of
this Fajr new dawn has been a known
recorded witnessed phenomenon
women
and even while you're in the darkness
remain Vigilant watchful with it the
Quran an extra act for you so that your
Lord nourisher puts you on the priest
station
but continue on in English from our
context perspective say declare to
remain fully in Sith and ask him for
help truth prevails in the battle
vanishes the Quran has Shiva cure for
the peacemakers
this is the context of these two ayats
and frankly I find I find no evidence
for any number of prayers ritual prayers
that we have to pray
no one will find any nightly ritual
prayers from this particular Ayah I
don't see that I don't find that at all
let's continue on with 11-114 and also
we find no number of Salah despite what
many might tell us otherwise like we did
before here are the ayats that come
before and a few ayats that come after
this particular eye as well so we can
see the proper context
I'll start the gist of the art before in
English
they follow their history forefathers
and will get what they deserve Nabi Musa
was given the al-kitab but it was argued
over all will be dealt with carry out
orders you are given don't incline
towards the valley Moon
is
and restore strengthen fix maintain the
establishment of two-way connections add
the peripheries of the program spreading
daylight brightness Noor of Allah's
message and what's approachable from the
period place of Darkness the allele
surely Good Deeds actions turn away
cancel out the bad Deeds that is a vikra
reminder for those who seek to make
Allah system remembered prominent
peripheries of the program that spreads
daylight daylight of Allah's message the
brightness
whatever is approachable in from the
period time occasion place of Darkness
of the allele
Good Deeds good actions things that you
perform they are what cancel out the bad
Deeds not just standing and doing a
ritual prayer that achieves nothing but
actually carrying out activities as an
ads that that is what gets rid of the
allele
not going up and down five times a day
along with others like an automaton
continuing on with the context Allah
doesn't waste effort effort of good
duels
others before you did not stop the
facade corruption on in the earth Allah
doesn't punish except the violin
what is the purpose of Salah 2014 tells
us now the context is when there's
conversation I say conversation with
double quotation marks between Allah and
Nabi Musa
listen carefully to what's revealed
now in this next Ayah we know why the
Salah is to be established maintained
set up restored fixed
surely it is I Allah no Ilah except for
me so serve me walk my path foreign not
worship me but serve me walk my path and
restore strengthen fix maintain the
establishment of positive two-way
connections regardless of the context
for the prominent remembrance of my
system lyrics for the prominence
remembrance of my system and then the
Sarah is coming
so looking at these three IELTS together
and the propositions we offered before I
find no evidence for any particular
number of ritual prayers to be carried
out in a day instead the purpose that we
get is something completely different
than what we might have been told
otherwise
proposition number four salatul Fajr is
done at for the beginning of a program
to spread the Noor light of Allah's
message
proposition number five Salata is done
when a particular program of work to
Sprint the Noor light of Allah's
messages winding down at a hiatus
now this Ayah that I'm going to talk
about 2458 also has a very charged
malachite which we traditionally have
been told means captives sexual slaves
and people who have become more booty
Quran talks nothing about that for those
who are interested in what this term
means I have done a video in English
where I looked at all of the ayat where
this term appears if you're interested I
would highly encourage you to go and
watch that video
we're not going to focus on this term
we're going to talk about al-fajr and
al-arisha but I want you to pay
attention to this term if you haven't
had a chance to consider that before
or you who have believed spread peace
let those who are under your care
promises Authority malachite those who
are under your care promises Authority
not sexual slaves and these who have not
yet come into their own ask a permission
Authority three times before this Salat
al-fajr at the beginning of a program
involving positive connections between
multiple entities that is after the
Lucas
what we read before number two when you
place organize your preparations
meetings duties for that program's
progress three and after when a
particular program is at rest hiatus
these three are the periods of
vulnerability for you outside of that no
issue on you or them if they were to
visit interact with you repeatedly
that's how Allah clarifies his signs for
you and he is all Noah wise judge
proposition number six the second allows
for us for today
solar words are tangible obligations
manifestations that result from asala
forming positive Mutual connections
this particular term solawat appears
five times in the Quran and here are all
of those occasions today we're going to
cover two of those occasions
first such occasion is chapter 23 and
we'll look at the ayats numbered 1 to
11.
and how they succeed like before I'm
going to talk about the gist of the ayat
in English and I will go on to the ayat
in Arabic and English afterwards
the peacekeepers peace spreaders with
belief have succeeded will succeed who
are dutiful reverent in their forms of
Duties who do not get distracted bring
forth Empower society's Positive Growth
Purity guiding Secrets except from their
Partners or those under their care
those under their care
those who transgress these two
allowances are not good people going
back to the good people they fulfill
their promises
and these who watch maintain their
tangible obligations for asala some of
those tangible obligations are the ones
that we just saw there up in the front
but these are not the only tangible
obligations that a movement is to
perform
a movement does everything in his or her
life to maintain their salawat with
others their obligations with others as
part of their Salah these people these
people are winners and will be in a
splendid state
position number seven
is the best form of has Salah because it
is moderate and unites
for us to consider this I have offered
verse 238 from the second chapter where
this term appears
the first thing we have to remember if
we were to look at the context is that
there is no talk of any ritual prayer
even looking at the traditional
understandings or translations of the
first year of this ayat the contracts if
you look at it from a traditional
perspective is a man and a woman going
through divorce
in between the ayath of divorce so let's
take the traditional understanding there
is a man who wants to go and divorce the
women his women
instructions for that up here
instructions for that down there but in
between somehow the meaning that we are
offered the meaning that we are forced
to understand and take away is that you
must remember to do your ritual prayers
and specifically the middle prayer and
that is good for you question that is I
think very fair to ask is how did we
find instructions for ritual prayers and
that too for a specific one whether it's
whichever one we want to call it does
not fit it does not fit even if one was
to go and read the traditional
understanding traditional translations
a secondary point I like to make but I
won't dwell too much on it because it's
not the focus for today
in the Quran or not not women I repeat
Anisa are not women our agile are not
men there's a series in Urdu where we
have talked a great deal about the
difference in how the Quran uses Anissa
and arijal versus how we understand them
in today's Arabic or in the 50 Arabic or
in the Arabic of the Hadith and Sunnah
and all of those people
if you understand Urdu or Hindi I would
encourage you to go and watch that video
series
but anyway welcome back to what we're
talking about today
236 reminder Nisa not women but those
with a delayed postponed station or
potential that is the context of the
Ayah where talaq not divorce valak has
been given to the Nisa 237 instructions
for the falak of Nisa Nissa men and
women now we come to 238.
and watch maintain over the tangible
obligations of salawat and the best form
of assalam
one that is moderate without extremes
unites and remain to Allah
if we continue on there are conditions
of fear that are being talked about and
240 the instructions for one's Partners
aswaj is again not wives something I'll
talk about in the Urdu series when I
continue that aswaj is not wives
and here are a couple of quick
references for anybody who might be
interested to see why al-busta is best
understood as the best form of our Salah
and not something that you do in the
middle or five ritual prayers for
example
let's summarize what we've talked about
so far today
as Salah has no fixed timings or number
per day requirement frankly I did not
find anything like that in the Quran
asala has objectives and requires
careful execution it's not just
something you do randomly nor is it
something that you do in a ritual
orchestrated form
the hajjud means to remain Vigilant
During the period of darkness and
confusion
is done at for the beginning of a
program to spread the Noor light of
Allah's message
is done when a particular program of
work to spread the new light of Allah's
message is winding down at a hiatus
solar words are tangible obligations
manifestations that result from a Salah
forming positive Mutual connections
is the best form of assalam because it
is moderate and unites
and a reminder before I finish up this
is my my for him of the Quran whatever I
have said that is useful take it use it
utilize it engage it wherever I slipped
discarded
if you wish to critique there's nothing
better than for you to offer that to me
with the Quran as your evidence and as
your Criterion
now we are at the end almost at the end
of this series Salat in the Quran there
are few videos possibly three to come
and then this will be wrapped up just to
give you an idea what is left
with
and then what I like to do is as I said
in the very beginning of this series I
will gather all of the propositions
throughout all of the videos put them
together so we can look at the concept
of asalah and all the things that come
around it in one sitting
and in the end I would also like to talk
a little bit about this physical ritual
prayer that we see today and how and why
did that get confused or associated with
the quranic Salah which is a completely
different thing
last Ayah for today
say declare my Lord has guided me
towards a straight path a right system
the Miller way of Ibrahim the upright
who was not one of those who added to
Allah's Deen say declare my form of
two-way Connections in Mindless in my
life in my death are for Allah the lord
of the Realms demands
until the next time
