please can you check surah an-Amal 27 Aya 7 and al Qasas 28 Aya 29 (تصطلون ) this is also salat check lisan al arab dictionary

Allah is giving two options... spend sth or do fast... stilll not clear what word fasting' actually means under different contexts...again its an assumption of the same ..

Peace! Again, the well-known subject of Salat with which some fight ferociously in order to convince others that is just a spiritual state... In fact, they fight against God denying His wisdom and kindness, by asserting the idea that He is expressing Himself confusingly and throw words without caring if we'll understand what He meant or not... Insulting His wisdom is one of the main sign of the hypocrites, being them sectarian ahadiths or secular quranists. So, again, here is my understanding of the concept of Salat. Salat = communion, connection, close contact, following closely, pay attention. For anybody reading the Quran with an open heart and with pure intention for the Truth it is obvious that Salat means primarily the act of putting yourself in communion with Allah by paying attention to and following His will. This is the main understanding of the concept. The second one is Worshiping contact prayer/meditation/dedication etc - a specific time/moment of the day, indicated by God Himself, as being the best moment to meet Him privately. Thus Allah is specifying these time frames by name: Salat-ul Fajr, Salat-ul Wusta and Salat-ul Isha and provide us with all the requirements(ablution, what to do during salat ceremony etc) for this special moment. From these three timeframes, Allah is specifying the middle one(Wusta), in the context of encouraging us to implement this communion ritual/ceremony, which can be understood as a sign that, from the three times Allah offer us for having a meeting with Him at least be present in one. And He is pointing out that "wusta" time is preferable to not be missed. It is useful to remember that "wusta" means also equilibrium/balance, a status which can be found again if you give yourself few minutes with God in the middle of the day, in case you lost your personal state of spiritual/emotional balance because of the worldly life problems... So, the concept of salat is simple, but full of meanings, as our God is the Most Wise. Who can be against to offering yourself a blessed moment to privately meet our Creator as He offered us the best time and all the indications about how to reach Him!? On daily bases, He offer you three opportunities to do it. So gift yourself al least one of them and benefit of your Creator presence and willing to meet you in person.

It would be respectful to acknowledge the work of Sam Gerrans (Quranite) and using his translation for this presentation. Sam does a much better job of explaining this as he actually did the work.

Alhamdullilah, that makes sense to me. Thank you

Subhan Allah, What a an exclusive. Prominent. Impressive, excellent, and significant explanation based on true tects to segregate. among ,(اجسن الحديث ) and (لهوالحديث ) pl see ,( وقل امنت بما انزل الله من كتب، الشورى 15 ) what is meaning of verse? To believe on Book ( Quran. ) if any one concentrate upon Al Nisa verse 150 ( ويريدون ان يفرقوابين الله ورسوله)

Sorry to bombard you with more questions but you seem very knowledgeable to me and you talk showing the Quran and verses which is very transparent. Do you have any videos on prayers? Also is Al Haram right next to Mecca, facing that way is not that much of a difference. So am I correct in saying the al-haram was the Masjid built by profit Abraham and not the kaba?

Very excellent video and very informative! May I please ask how you studied your Arabic how did you understand all this Arabic that you were going through and why don't the Sunni or Shia Arabs understand what is written if they know Arabic? Wouldn't they be coming up with the same things you're saying? Or do they know and not say anything? I I'm a bit confused about where to face when you pray? Any direction? Or Al Haram? Sorry I am just trying to get these questions answered in my head then do my research and then follow.

Assalamualaikum. Great informative video. But can anyone help me understand what to be abstained when period of abstaining day mentioned such as punishment for hunting. Maybe I got confused somewhere but I just unable to find what to be abstained for those case. Scrolling through the comments, I just can see multiple of assumptions differ for every person which making me doubtful on matter been discussed in this video. Jazakallahukhair

Hi

It’s not a contradiction to understand salaat as duty and prayer at the same time.

Salaam

Beautifully said - "The Qur'an doesn't tell you what to do, it gives you guidance. If you're cold, wear clothes. Everyone doesn't need to wear the same thing." Spot on.👍 The Qur'an doesn't tell you what to think and what not to think. It just tells you to think! No compulsion. No oppression. True freedom. Alhamdulillah.😊👍

Allah has 99 names and Salat root words appear 99 times in the Quran

Musalmam jo kahen. Mera manna hai ke Allah ka zikr aur ebadat tanhayi mein karni chahiye. Masjid mein nahi. Kiyonke wahan use Masjid walon ka firqa aur tareeqa anna hoga.

It is imperative to emphasize the significant role of Prophet Muhammad in Islam, as this directive comes from Allah Himself. The Quran underscores the necessity of not only acknowledging the Prophet but also sending blessings and salutations upon him. This divine command is evident in several verses, including: **Surah Al-Ahzab (**33:56**):** - "Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace." Moreover, the Quran highlights the Prophet's indispensable role as a guide and exemplar for humanity. It stresses the importance of following his teachings and respecting his authority, which encompasses both the Quran and the Sunnah (his sayings and actions). 1. **Surah Al-Hujurat (49:2):** - "O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest your deeds become worthless while you perceive not." 2. **Surah An-Nisa (4:80):** - "He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian." 3. **Surah Al-Araf (7:157):** - "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful." These verses collectively argue against diminishing the importance of the Prophet and emphasize that his guidance, example, and respect commanded towards him are integral to the faith. Believers are instructed to honor and follow him, reflecting his indispensable role in conveying the divine message and providing a model for righteous living. Ignoring or underestimating this significance contradicts the explicit directives provided by Allah in the Quran. Furthermore, those who reject the Sunnah and Hadith of the Prophet fail to recognize that the Quran itself mandates following the Prophet's teachings. The Hadith, which are the recorded sayings and actions of the Prophet, provide essential context and elaboration on the Quranic text, making them crucial for a comprehensive understanding of Islam. **Surah Al-Hashr (59:7):** - "And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty." **Surah An-Nur (**24:54**):** - "Say, 'Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that duty with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification.'" These directives highlight that adherence to both the Quran and the Sunnah is essential for true guidance and obedience to Allah. Rejecting the Hadith and Sunnah undermines the comprehensive practice of Islam as prescribed by Allah.

Dear brother, thanks for your nice presentation. I would like to know the name of the English translation of the Quran you used and where it can be found?

The Hajj & Umrah (In Spiritual Way) Hajj means Pilgrimage Umrah means Minor Pilgrimage Pilgrimage means Journey (A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD) "Whoever intends to perform it during them must abstain from indecent speech, from all wicked conduct, and from quarreling while on the Pilgrimage,..." 2:197 "The Pilgrimage is in the appointed months." (10th, 11th, 12th) (The 4 sacred months start at 9th/Ramadan 2:185-197) 9:36 "Do not wrong your souls in these months." "Fight the polytheist all together, as they fight you all together,..." (It means Rebuke and Debate them for their wrong beliefs) 22:27 "Call mankind to the Pilgrimage." (Not just the believers, but all mankind must perform the pilgrimage) Because... 3:96 "...Bakkah. It is a blessed place; a source of guidance for the whole world." (Because before, that place is where Muhammad Preach the pure Monotheism, and who really the true God is) 3:97 (Pilgrimage is a duty to God) 22:26,29 (We should circumbulate to the House of God it means GOD SHOULD BE THE CENTER OF OUR LIFE or WE SHOULD CIRCUMBULATE OUR LIFE TO GOD THROUGH FOLLOWING HIS COMMANDS AND WORSHIPPING HIM ALONE) "...'DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH ME (GOD) ANYTHING..." (IT MEANS, PILGRIMAGE IS AN ACT OF MONOTHEISM) 2:196 "...If you are prevented from doing (Hajj & Umrah) so, then make whatever offering you can afford...." (We can Offer a Sacrifice to God like an offer of •Time, Focus, and Attention through Prayer, Fasting, and Helping other People) (What is the Spiritual significance of Shaving our head when we have offer our sacrifices, is that about a Cleaning of mind, Satisfaction, Newness, and Inner Peace or Peace of mind.) THE QURAN IS FROM BAKKAH, THE QURAN WAS REVEALED TO PROPHET MUHAMMAD WHO WAS BORN IN BAKKAH. BAKKAH IS THE SOURCE OF GUIDANCE 3:96 (THAT'S WHY PILGRIMAGE AT THE TIME OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS VERY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE ALL MANKIND MUST KNOW THE TRUTH OF MONOTHEISM FROM THAT PLACE AND WORSHIP GOD IN THE FIRST EVER HOUSE OF WORSHIP) QURAN IS FROM THE SOURCE OF GUIDANCE (BAKKAH) QURAN IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF GUIDANCE, THAT TEACH ALL MANKIND THE TRUE AND PURE MONOTHEISM.. 16:89 AND NOW, WE SHOULD PRACTICE THE SPIRITUAL WAY OF PILGRIMAGE... SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD WHICH IS BY KNOWING GOD MORE THROUGH READING THE QURAN, WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF GUIDANCE. 2:197 "Whoever intends to perform it during them must abstain from indecent speech, from all wicked conduct, and from quarreling while on the Pilgrimage,..." These Months will give us Knowledge (Through reading the Quran) that we can apply to the rest of the months (August to March) and these 4 sacred months will give us rest in our souls and newness of life in a daily basis. Submission to God - Monotheism Submitted to God - Monotheist Quran Alone (Quranist Ph.)

The True Meaning of Pilgrimage 5:95-97 - Kaaba in Bakkah - 3:96 - Source of Guidance Hajj/Pilgrimage - 2:194-197 - Go to the Source of Guidance - 3:96 4 Sacred Months - 9:36-37 - 4 Seasons in a Year "Don't wrong your souls in these months" (It doesn't mean you are going to be righteous "only" in these months) It just meant the beautiful lesson that *Don't wrong your souls in these seasons* *Postponing of Sacred months is not permissible, it should be observe and practiced every year. It teaches us a valuable lesson that we should do good deed every day, every month, every year without Postponing it. Now what is the "Source of Guidance" we should "Go to", so "We can do Right our souls in these seasons" No other than the Quran - 16:89 - As the Source of Guidance. The True Pilgrimage is, To go to the source of guidance which is the Quran and let us do good deeds in this life, for God has made this life sacred. 6:151

Can we have a demonstration Video to have more clear example?

Near the conclusion of the video, you mentioned that people have devised their own ways to perform Salat. Could you please elaborate on this? Are you suggesting that individuals have created the rituals of Namaj themselves? Isn't it Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who taught us the proper method of performing Salat? Could you clarify this point?"

plzz make a vedio about marriage in quran

plzz make a vedio about marriage in quran.?

Thanks brother. Please show how to perform Hajj in this situation? What about Seven times circular movement, zamzam, Black stone? What are the Safa & Marwa?

What about abortion in cases of rape

Allah has chosen Prophet Mohammad (sas) to send Quran as the message and to guide the people to right way of doing the worship and way of living. Based on this Hadiths are written by muslim scholars and the entire Muslim world follows it. You must be ignorant about this hadith and you are ignoring Prophts sunnah and interpreting Quran in your own way to mislead people. You are going to fail in your agenda, Bi-idnillah.

Not a very clever and intellectual interpretations rather a motive to bring disrespect to Prophet Mohammed indirectly. May Allah fail your evil intentions. Ameen.

This is a wrong interpretation. Where is the context of Hadith, they explanation by Prophet? Are you claiming you are a Prophet? Stop this nonsense.

This is a complete manipulated meaning of word Siyam. It does not have the basis of Prophet Mohammad (sas). You are acting is if you are more than our Prophet. You are not even a sheikh who studied under an Islamic school. You are basically inspired by evil and trying to show Islam is wrong and Muslims are bad. May Allah's punishment befall on you soon unless you stop spreading mis information.

Sir, can your lectures be available in urdu language? Or do you have this translation in the form of an app?

All hullabaloo…..This knowledge sounds interesting to the traumatized in religion, but only leads to insanity

Fellow Quran analyst here from Saudi. The Quranic word 'Akala' doesn't refer to eating, which is 'يطعم' ... but instead means 'consume' without specifying what is being consumed.

All the hadiths/narrations was invented along with their narrators and collectors to insult and to corrupt the Quran/Reading

The triliteral root ḥā dāl thā (ح د ث) occurs 36 times in the Quran, in four derived forms: three times as the form II verb tuḥaddithu (تُحَدِّثُ) three times as the form IV verb yuḥ'dithu (يُحْدِثُ) 28 times as the noun ḥadīth (حَدِيث) twice as the form IV passive participle muḥ'dath (مُحْدَث) Verb (form II) - to report, to narate (2:76:13) atuḥaddithūnahum Do you narrate/report them أَتُحَدِّثُونَهُمْ بِمَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُحَاجُّوكُمْ بِهِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ (93:11:4) faḥaddith so narrate/report وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ (99:4:2) tuḥaddithu it will narrate/report يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا Verb (form IV) - to cause, to bring about (18:70:9) uḥ'ditha I present فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا (20:113:12) yuḥ'dithu it may cause وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا (65:1:38) yuḥ'dithu will bring about لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرًا Noun (4:42:14) ḥadīthan (any) statement يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَعَصَوُا الرَّسُولَ لَوْ تُسَوَّىٰ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضُ وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَ اللَّهَ حَدِيثًا (4:78:36) ḥadīthan any statement فَمَالِ هَٰؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ حَدِيثًا (4:87:17) ḥadīthan (in) statement وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا (4:140:21) ḥadīthin a conversation فَلَا تَقْعُدُوا مَعَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ (6:68:12) ḥadīthin a conversation فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ (7:185:20) ḥadīthin statement فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ (12:6:7) l-aḥādīthi (of) the narratives وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنْ تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ (12:21:23) l-aḥādīthi the events وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِنْ تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ (12:101:9) l-aḥādīthi of the events رَبِّ قَدْ آتَيْتَنِي مِنَ الْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِي مِنْ تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ (12:111:10) ḥadīthan a narration مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَٰكِنْ تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ (18:6:10) l-ḥadīthi [the] narration فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ إِنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا (20:9:3) ḥadīthu the narration وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ (23:44:15) aḥādītha narrations فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ (31:6:6) l-ḥadīthi idle tales/narration وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ (33:53:26) liḥadīthin for a conversation فَإِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَلَا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ (34:19:9) aḥādītha narrations فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ (39:23:4) l-ḥadīthi (of) [the] statement اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابًا مُتَشَابِهًا مَثَانِيَ (45:6:8) ḥadīthin statement فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ (51:24:3) ḥadīthu (the) narration هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ (52:34:2) biḥadīthin a statement فَلْيَأْتُوا بِحَدِيثٍ مِثْلِهِ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ (53:59:3) l-ḥadīthi statement أَفَمِنْ هَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ (56:81:2) l-ḥadīthi statement أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنْتُمْ مُدْهِنُونَ (66:3:7) ḥadīthan a statement وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلَىٰ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ حَدِيثًا (68:44:5) l-ḥadīthi Statement فَذَرْنِي وَمَنْ يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ (77:50:2) ḥadīthin statement فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ (79:15:3) ḥadīthu (the) story/narration هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ (85:17:3) ḥadīthu (the) story/narration هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ (88:1:3) ḥadīthu (the) news هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ Passive participle (form IV) (21:2:7) muḥ'dathin anew event مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ (26:5:7) muḥ'dathin new event وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِي

Hadiths inventers mushriks Sunnis and Shias are the biggest enemies of Allah and the Quran

Why is it considered fasting when Muslims eat during the night instead of during the day? It seems like the time changes but not actually going without food and therefore not really fasting

Other related word that must be scrutinized as well are 1. Kutiba 2.safar (never used in quran for travel) 3. Marid 4. Taam ( does not mean feeding)... if yoh can disects thes word onky then you can come out with correct undersatnding.

What an irony, Quranists do not believe in saying of prophet's word but trust in arabic dictionary.😂😂

Correction : How do *-Muslims-* Sunnis, Shiites, Sectarians Jews and Christians perform Fasting. Muslims do not observe the *sacrament* or ritual of going hungry during the daytime in the lunar month named Ramadan because there is no such command found in the Quran. Furthermore the concept of _"spiritual discipline"_ is man-invented. Anyway, take any translation and let us read and focus on the first part of this verse where it says... _2:185 Month (of) Ramadhaan (is) that was revealed therein the Quran, a Guidance for mankind and clear proofs of [the] Guidance and the Criterion. So whoever witnesses among you the month, then he should fast in it..."_ What is *a Guidance for mankind and clear proofs of [the] Guidance and the Criterion?* Is it the Quran or the month named Ramadan? Now... we know from the Quran itself that the book is revealed in stages. And the surahs are revealed during, if you will, the month named Ramadan. So, during each Ramadan throughout the years, the surahs are revealed! It is now 2024 and we have the complete Quran with us. Now... assuming that the lunar month named Ramadan is the _"shahruramadan"_ in 2:185, then which Quran is revealed in the lunar month named Ramadan 2024? One of the greatest tricks pulled by Satan is by *misdirecting* our focus from the MAIN ISSUE to the side issue, which in this case is The Lunar month named Ramadan as opposed to the Quran. There are many corruptions done by the Sunni/Shiite/Sectarian scholars to force verse 2:185 fit in with their narrative of *Ramadan Al-Mubarak!* Let us take another verse: _38:29__ _*_This is a blessed Book,_*_ which We have revealed to you so that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded._ Now, please tell me if there is any verse that says, _"the lunar month Ramadan is a blessed month?"_ _peace to the world_

czcams.com/video/epxIAAcMkjM/video.html 🔥 What is the Difference Between Catholic and Christian Religion #quranalone #quranonly #catholicvschristianity

Catholics are Christians if you're not Orthodox or Catholic meaning apostolic then you're a fake Christian that came 500 years ago

"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it...." (2:185) Yes you must fast during the month of Ramadan when we are in it. Not part of it but the whole thing. the word "fast it" in Arabic is "falyaṣum'hu" It means "so then go ahead and fast it" referring as a reference to the whole month of Ramadan. Not just a few days in it, but meaning the whole thing.

“And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night] Then complete the fast until the sunset.” [Al-Baqarah 2:187]. Some of you guys are getting to abstract. This is a physical prohibition.

You also can teach that anyone who used gods animals against god, his religion, his believers and his holy sites in transgression, they will be punished not the animals. So this is point that Certain Muslim misunderstood elephants to be evil and to be dislike hated. how can a religion and god hate elephants if god create elephants as animals and part of this world.

Im a visionary bi polar type 1 fractal geometric artist who experiences the fractal repeat patterns and conjunction points in self/society and repeated patterns in history it’s all mathematically precise but there’s bodies who would rather stamp it out due to it not being suiting to the usurpers interests

Quran states that fasting is written on the believers such ss it was written on the previous ones... Which means that people were fasting even before Muhammad (sav).

Welcome back sir

I wonder why Muslims fast to sunset when the Quran says to night fall. Also why do they fast 29-30 days when you don`t find that in the Quran. All I can find in the Quran is fast in the month of Ramadan not the whole month.

Traditionalists have played havoc with truth by distracting common man and winning over their heart and soul for ulterior motives. Mosques are built and wrong interpretations are spoken loudly
