Salam,
Details of Salat.
Salat is not ritual prayer/worship. It is a system that promotes peace, justice, security, social care and interconnectivity amongst members of the community. It is a means by which to combat tyranny, corruption, oppression and injustice.
In essence, Salat is a constitution/law that serves to protect people and their rights from injustice, corruption, and evil, while encouraging people to embrace morality and righteousness.
By performing Salat, we are enacting and adhering to the laws that have been inspired by God.
social care 70:24-25 74:44 107:1-7
combating tyranny 9:12 31:17
promoting justice 2:177 4:102 42:38
*Purpose, Objectives:*
[33:43] It is He who YUSALLI upon you, and His angels that *HE MAY BRING YOU OUT FROM DARKNESSES INTO THE LIGHT.* And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.
[20:14] Surely, *I AM ALLAH.* There is no god but Myself, so serve Me, and *ESTABLISH SALAH FOR MY REMEMBRANCE.*
[21:73] AND WE MADE THEM LEADERS / IMAMS who guide by Our command, and WE INSPIRED THEM TO DO GOOD WORKS and hold the SALAT (CONNECTION) AND CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS growth, AND THEY WERE IN SERVICE TO US.
[22:41] THOSE WHO, IF WE GIVE THEM POWER IN THE LAND would establish the "SALAT", and contribute towards growth, AND ENJOIN THE GOOD AND FORBID THE EVIL!
[22:78] ... So establish the "SALAT" and contribute towards growth AND HOLD ON TO YOUR LINK WITH ALLAH.
[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.
[31:17] "Oh my son, establish "SALAT", AND ENJOIN THE GOOD, FORBID THE EVIL, AND BE PATIENT TO WHATEVER ILL AFFLICTS YOU. INDEED, THESE ARE THE VITAL AND QUINTESSENTIAL COMMANDS.
[10:87] ... establish the "SALAT". AND GIVE THE GLAD TIDINGS TO THE BELIEVERS!
[9:71] ... establish the "SALAT", and contribute towards growth, AND OBEY ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER.
[24:56] Establish the "SALAT", and contribute towards growth AND OBEY THE MESSENGER...
*Diplomacy, Mutual Consultation:*
[4:102] And when you are among them and lead them in "SALAT", let a group of them stand [in SALAT] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they have SAJADU, let them be [in position] behind you and have the other group come forward which has not [yet] "YUṢALLU" and let them "FAL YUṢALLU" with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack. But there is no blame upon you, if you are troubled by rain or are ill, for putting down your arms, but take precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
[42:38] ... and they established "SALAT", AND THEIR AFFAIRS ARE HANDLED THROUGH MUTUAL CONSULTATION AMONGST THEM, AND OF WHAT WE HAVE PROVIDED THEM AS PROVISIONS, THEY SPEND.
*Recite Quran :*
[35:29] *THERE ARE THOSE WHO RECITE THE BOOK OF ALLAH, perform "SALAT"* and spend secretly as well as openly out of the wealth we have given them.
[17:78] Establish (Aqimi) the SALAT at the going down of the sun until the dark of night, AND QURAN THE DAWN. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur'an the dawn is ever witnessed.
[73:20] ...SO RECITE WHAT IS EASY [FOR YOU] OF THE QUR'AN. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. SO RECITE WHAT IS EASY FROM IT AND ESTABLISH SALAT AND THE ZAKAH AND LOAN ALLAH A GOODLY LOAN. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
[29:45] Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book, and maintain the SALAT(الصَّلَاةَ). Indeed the SALAT(الصَّلَاةَ) prevents indecencies and wrongs, and the remembrance of Allah is surely greater. And Allah knows whatever [deeds] you do.
[17:78] And stand in SALAT from sunset till dusk, AND RECITE THE QURAN AT DAWN...
*Be Moderate:*
[17:110] Say, Call (Him by the name of) Allah or Ar-RaHman, in whichever way you call, His are the Best Names. AND DO NOT BE (TOO) LOUD/OPEN/APPARENT/PUBLIC/DISCOVERED IN YOUR SALAT (CONNECTION), NOR BE SECRET/LOW/SOFT/GENTLE IN IT, AND SEEK A WAY IN BETWEEN.
*Salat Timing:*
[4:103] And when you have completed the SALAT, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish SALAT. INDEED, THE SALAT FOR THE BELIEVERS IS A BOOK / OBLIGATORY / A DECREE AT ALL TIMES.
70:23 *Those in their SALAT (صَلَاتِهِمْ) who are CONSTANT (دَائِمُونَ).*
*Spending Wealth, Charity:*
[2:3] those who believe in the unseen, establish the "SALAT" AND SPEND OUT OF WHAT WE GRANT THEM.
[8:3] Those who establish "SALAT" AND SPEND OUT OF WHAT WE GRANT THEM!
[13:22] ... establish "SALAT" AND OUT OF OUR GRANT GIVE CHARITY OPENLY AS WELL AS IN SECRET.
[14:31] ... establish "SALAT" AND GIVE CHARITY OPENLY AND IN SECRET OUT OF WHAT WE HAVE GRANTED THEM,
[35:29] There are those who recite the book of Allah, perform "SALAT" AND SPEND SECRETLY AS WELL AS OPENLY OUT OF THE WEALTH WE HAVE GIVEN THEM.
*Fulfill Pledges, promises:*
[2:177] ...establish "SALAT", and contribute towards growth, AND FULFILL THE PLEDGES/PROMISES MADE BY THEM.
*Support the Orphan/Weak, Feed The Poor:*
[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
[107:6] those who make display,
[107:7] and refuse to help the needy.
*Belief, Qualities:*
[4:162] who perform the "SALAT" diligently, and contribute towards growth, AND BELIEVE IN ALLAH AND THE AFTERLIFE,
[27:3] Those who establish "SALAT" and contribute towards growth. AND THOSE WHO ARE CERTAIN ABOUT THE LIFE-TO-COME.
[9:18] ... establish the "SALAT", and contribute towards growth, AND FEAR NOTHING EXCEPT ALLAH.
[2:43] And perform the "SALAT" and contribute towards growth. AND TAKE HEED ALONG WITH OTHERS, WHO TAKE HEED.
[2:238] Take due care of all the "SALATS", and the 'balanced' "SALAT", AND STAND BEFORE ALLAH IN TOTAL DEVOTION.

70:26 *And...
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ
[6:38] There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, *NOR A BIRD THAT FLIES WITH ITS TWO WINGS, BUT ARE COMMUNITIES LIKE YOU. WE HAVE NEGLECTED NOTHING IN THE BOOK,* then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered.
