What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest defines salat from the Quran as solidarity rather than ritual: with God, which is remembrance and connection, and with people, which is the secular Friday gathering; the essence is dhikr, not physical form.
In more detail
The guest says the Quran itself defines salat in 75:31, where the one who did not believe and did not pray is described as turning away, so that salat is the opposite of turning away: turning towards, showing empathy and solidarity. He reads 33:56, that God and his angels support the messenger and believers should do likewise, and the verse that God and his angels yusalli upon the believers to bring them from darkness to light, and 9:103, where the Prophet is told to take charity and to salli upon the people, which he reads as supporting and calming them. He says this shows solidarity in three directions, between God and believers, God and the messenger, and the messenger and the believers, so that salat has two aspects: solidarity with God in the domain of iman, a mental connection, support and promise to follow God's way, and solidarity with people, which is the secular Friday gathering, a civic duty for all peacemakers; salat with God, he says, is prayer and remembrance, which may be physical but whose essence is dhikr.

baggage of exact iris and the pharaohs with this - and with this kind of car this young cow and rather what they come up with is you know Milo knew her what's his color should it be this should it be that distracted from the main point basically they missed the entire point and the same with the player this salat so that means my brother's a lot in fact agrandi defines what o salafi were masataka were masala when I can caliber weapon de Musset economist Allah did not
approve it and did not sell let's keep it sander when I can kill the bear it is the entry name of Siddhartha and therefore were Wed Heredia to turn away turn away their food then salad should be the Antoni the of turning away me Tony face showing empathy and interest being in solidarity and we see it in for example in the LA woman Aikido you say Luna and maybe yeah you live in a man of Sal Johnny Roselli metaschema God and His angels
controllers engines is another misunderstood God and his controllers are supporting the messenger means in solidarity with messenger o people you also support the messenger be in solidarity with messenger in another verse is maybe I'm sorry in another words who when living you Sully an income America - here is a crewman Mina's would maybe even me God and His angels are supporting you in
order to take you from darkness to light and light you see that Miss Sally Allah is also God is doing - moving not only Mohammed only moving also limits in another verse tell Muhammad suddenly who's mean and well in sadaqa sadaqa turn to the key-in be her was Ali Ali him in the Salah take a second economic health tells Muhammad say take some zakat purification from their earning distribute to the middle and by this and do select them support them being
solidarity with them because your support is second and make them calm make them better correct therefore here we see solidarity in three ways between God and believers between God and messenger and between messenger and other believers and believers - messenger and therefore we need to be in solidarity it has 2 eights 1 solidarity with God it is in the domain of faith Iman and morning must be in connection with God in solidarity with God as support from
God and give promise to God that he or she will support God's Way and because of God means God's attributes so it doesn't mean necessarily the ritual pre no no and the other one in the other one is being solidarity with people salat with people and that is salatul juma its secular you go to select solidarity with people who once in a while in the neighborhood or in the city you are invited to come as people being somewhere it is psychologically socially politically financially being solidarity
a salat with God I do think it is prayer Zickuhr law to commemorate God and ask help from God and meanwhile to Institute possible it could be physical but it is an optimist or not valid Vickery yeah it is not the essence the essence is thicker because the only time said God said do not you say that when you don't know what you are saying means mental connection with God it is for moving as for Muslim all the Muslims need to do salat all the Muslims means peacemakers
