Does the Quranist prayer have any set structure?

Okay. And you pray by which is to stand. You do recitation which is once again you said arbitrary as in you like it, you prefer it and a surah and then you go straight into sujud. You only do one s and then you finish the salah. You just do salah. >> It's again you're you're you're trying to structure something that I don't have structured.

>> So it so it just changes every day. that this is what I want on how I am working with God in that moment. This is the beautiful part about salah. It's not supposed to be this overly structured when you're by yourself. >> So some days it has like three, two, some days. >> Some days I'll stay four hours prostrating to my God. >> It's not the prostration. I'm just >> Okay, but that's I started my salah with prostration for two hours because I want to get close to God because that's what God says.

Is that a is that that's exactly >> so there's no so it's just >> arbitrary every day >> the structure the structure is based by the people in the society that have an agreed convention and yes you have so by the people not by God is giving you the guidance and the way that you set it is how the society wants to set it but God has told you the ingredients if you want to start kneeling in your prayer That's perfectly fine.

If you want to start by staining, that's perfectly fine. God has told you why he wants you to pray for the arbitrary structure >> and God is giving you the results of the prayer. He says uh to [Music] that the prayer it stops the immoralities and obscinities and the remembrance of God is greater.

So when you're praying you remember God often and it's actually improving your life drastically. >> Nobody is challenging that. I know nobody's challenging that, but that's the point where it is accurate because if we're not capable of stopping moralities and obscinities, if we're not capable of getting closer to God and what God is saying in the book, therefore our prayer was not accepted. So now the the >> nobody's challenging that part. So I just look somebody said here, see this is what I mean.

I want to clarify. Somebody said he's that am I putting this word in your mouth arbitrary? Just to clarify, arbitrary does not mean random. Arbitrary. There's a distinction in the language between arbitrary and random. So arbitrary is as you put together yourself arbitrarily. So just to be clear, the the salah manifests in a layout that is arbitrary on how you want to do on the day.

Is that >> so? So so for example, I'll paint you a picture. God is uh God is saying something in the Quran that I'm reflecting upon in the day that let's say about this conversation or a conversation I had with someone earlier and I'm reading the Quran and I read a verse that hits really close to home to the heart because I'm reflecting on God's words as he's talking to me as I'm reciting it and I'm I'm instead of sitting in my mind always contextualizing it to history and to other people I'm contextualizing it about myself and what I'm getting guided by God and then that verse becomes very hard for me to hand over where I start to cry because of how beautiful the word of what God says.

So in that moment, I just want to prostrate to my Lord. So no. So yes, in the middle of my prayer, I'm going to prostrate and I'm going to glorify him and I'm going to thank him and I'm I'm going to praise him and I'm going to love him and I'm going to get like I'm going to I'm going to express my heart and then after I have my little moment with that verse that God has just allowed me to read, I'll stand up again and then I will carry on the chapter. Yes, a lot of people have questions about our prayers, but I guarantee you the people who pray the way that we show Muhamad the Quran prays, we get a lot of positive feedback on what they're saying.

They're saying to me, it's like I feel like I've prayed for the first time in my life. And the other thing is the people who want to make fun of our prayers. >> Listen, nobody has been making fun. Yeah. And nobody has said what you're saying is is everybody agrees with what you're saying about the Quran making you cry. I think that's beautiful. I think may Allah grant that uh to everyone. >> But just to answer the question >> is it set on the day?

Is it set on the day? >> No, it is in the moment. So it's something >> in the moment. Sorry. Set in the moment. Sorry. >> It is it's it's going with what is being revealed to you in the moment. Now I understand the way that this is looking because of the way that is being questioned. And that is why I understand what is being done. I know that you're not ill. And I understand what is the move from behind what you're asking.

This is why it's not it's not I'm I'm not an individual where it's like I'm walking into a room or I'm not >> I don't want to make you look I don't want to make you uncomfortable. So let's move on. >> I'm not uncomfortable but but there has to be a back and forth for people to understand when you're questioning me and you're just going to keep pressing and keep pressing. The point is to do something that is called an undercutting defeater. So for you it's you want to show that that position is so emotional and it's so arbitrary and it's not set on standard and everybody does what he wants and therefore the tradition intention >> oh man okay but I can read between the lines so I asked you a very simple question that

>> but you can read somebody's intention God tells us you will know them by the tone of the voice you know you could see so there's certain things that we can read now there is okay >> so the reason just There is a point there is a point that I want to Travis that you can pray like the Sunnis as well. You can stand and pray the Sunnis exactly how the Sunnis pray. There's absolutely no problem that there is some words that you shouldn't say because it's not from God.
