Upholding duty from a quran-only view
I read this comment on one of Said Mirza videos from the user @TheoWrigt and i think it makes sense so i wanted to share it here:
“Wash your face, and your arms to the elbows, then wipe your head and your legs to the knees” ( 5:6 )*
The salat is upheld for The remembrance of God, proof:
“Uphold the salat for my remembrance” ( 20:14 )
And the remembrance of God is found in the Quran, proof:
“Sad and the Quran possessing the remembrance” ( 38:1 )
And is performed with standing and prostration, proof:
“Is he one who is obedient during the night prostrating and standing” ( 39:9 )
And “rukoo” doesn’t mean bowing, but rather it is kneeling, proof:
“And Dawood thought that we have ensnared him so he asked his Lord for forgiveness and fell kneeling and repented” ( 38:24 )
The word “khar” in Arabic means fall. Plus we also see when salat is depicted in the Quran it’s always done with two movements ( i.e. prostrating and standing ) That is because Kneeling ( rukoo ) is attached to prostration.
You read the Quran while standing, proof:
“ they are not all alike from the people of the book are a nation standing reciting the proofs of God during the stills of the night and they prostrate” ( 3:113 )
Salat consist of remembrance and appealing to the Lord of all beings And it is not a robotic ritual, but rather it is done with comprehension and awareness like praying it comes from the heart and is expressed with physical movements and is done at a prescribed time.
Qur’an is The whole Salat, you carry the Qur’an in your hands and you read as much of the Qur’an as you can while standing, then you prostrate and glorify God and magnify Him, and supplicate to Him in prostration, then you rise again to read the Qur’an….
And you keep doing this, alternating between prostration in which there is glorification and supplication And magnification, and standing in which you read the Qur’an, until the time for the Salat ends.
Note: If you are a memorizer of the Qur’an, there is no harm in reading the Qur’an from memory and also there is no harm in listening to the Qur’an while standing. The most important thing is that the word of God passes through your heart in one way or another.
Salat times:
( 11:114 ) “And uphold the Salat at the two ends of day and during the night”
The first end:
Dawn is the first light of the day. So you start at first light and you finish when the sunrise is completed (the first hour of the day)
The second end:
Evening Salat is on the opposite side of dawn so it ends at the last light and starts at the declining of the sun…(the last hour of the day)
You read the Quran in your own language
There is a Salat at night where you can pray at your own time
( you estimate the time ) ( 73:20 )
