230512 - Salah common meanings

Dua...

[14:39] "Praise be to God who has granted me to my old age Ishmael and Isaac; my Lord is Hearer of the prayer."

[14:40] "My Lord, let me establish the Salah, and also from my progeny. Our Lord, and accept my prayer (dua)."

[14:41] "Our Lord, forgive me and my parents, and the believers on the Day the reckoning is called."

[14:42] And do not think that Allah is unaware of what the wicked do. He is merely delaying them to a Day when all eyes are watching.

[7:169]

Then, a generation came after them

• who inherited the Book, but they opted for the materialism of that which is lower...

and they say: "It will be forgiven for us."

And they continue to opt for the materialism if it comes to them;

was not the covenant of the Book taken on them that they would only say the truth about God, and they studied what was in it?

And the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who are aware.

Do you not comprehend?

[7:170]

As for those who hold fast to the Kitab, and they establish the Salah!

We will not waste the reward of the muslehena.

The issue is the term Yu'Salli

[3:39]

So the angels called to him while he was standing, Yu'Salli, in the enclosure: "God gives you glad tidings of John, affirming the word from God, and a master, and steadfast, and a prophet from the upright."

This is usually translated as "praying".

[33:43]

He is the One who Yu'Salli's you, along with His angels, to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers.

This is usually translated as "sending blessings" or "supports".

Discussion

• Establish the Salah

• Big difference between holding and establishing

  • Establishing the concept of the deen itself (via mike on Clubhouse)

• muslehena - the reformers

  • moral reformers

Reflection

Allah does Salah too. Recall

[33:41] O you who believe, you shall remember Allah frequently.

[33:42] And glorify Him morning and evening.

[33:43] He is the One who Yu'Salli's you, along with His angels, to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers.

What Salah does,

[29:45] Recite what is inspired to you of the Book and hold the Salah, for the Salah prohibits immorality and vice; but certainly the remembrance of God is the greatest. God knows everything you do.

and

[16:90] God orders justice and goodness and that you shall help your relatives, and He prohibits immorality and vice and transgression. He warns you that you may remember.
