[quote]Salam, QUOTE:- Take due care of all the prayers and the middle prayer; and stand before Allâh in total devotion. But if you are in fear, then (pray) on foot or riding, but when you are in peace, then recite the name of Allâh in the way He taught you. (2:238-239) A number of points are worth consideration in these verses: Firstly, the verse assumes that there are more than one prayers obligatory on the Muslims, but the exact number of the prayers has not been given, neither in this verse nor at any other place in the Holy Qur’ân. >>> Wrong. The number of Obligatory prayers has clearly been given in the Qur’an, but you are blinded to see these. QUOTE:- That the number of obligatory prayers is five is only mentioned by the Holy Prophet (pbuh ). The Holy Qur’ân, by saying “Take due care of all the prayers,” confirms what the Holy Prophet ( pbuh) prescribed for the Muslims. >>> Again you are wrong. The number of obligatory prayers is THREE not five. QUOTE:- Secondly, the verse lays special emphasis on the “Middle Prayer,” but does not define it. The definition has been left to the Holy Prophet ( pbuh). >>> If the number of obligatory prayer is THREE then what will be the middle prayer, brother??? QUOTE:- Thirdly, the most important sentence in relation to our subject is, “when you are in peace, then recite the name of Allâh in the way He taught you.” It goes without saying that the “recitation of the name of Allâh” means here “to perform the prayer” as the context does not permit any other meaning. Now, the Holy Qur’ân directs the Muslims that in the state of peace they should perform the prayer in its normal way which has been taught to them by Allâh. It is an express indication that the normal way of performing prayers has been taught to the Muslims by Allâh Himself. But no such way has ever been mentioned in the Holy Qur’ân. There is no verse in the Holy Book mentioning the detailed way of performing prayer. It is only the Holy Prophet (pbuh ) who educated the Muslims as to how they are to perform it. But the Holy Qur’ân holds the teaching of the Holy Prophet (pbuh ) to be the teaching of Allâh. >>> Again you are mistaken in thinking. How to perform prayers in normal circumstances are clearly said in the Nobel Qur’an. But as I have already said that your blinded to see these. Please read my earlier post. QUOTE:- It means that Allâh has taught the way of prayer to the Holy Prophet (pbuh ) through some “unrecited revelation” not contained in the Holy Qur’ân, and the Holy Prophet ( pbuh) taught it to the Muslims. Thus, the Muslims have been taught by Allâh through the teaching of the Holy Prophet (pbuh ). However, the teaching of the Holy Prophet ( pbuh) is described in the holy verse as the teaching of Allâh, because it was based on the “unrecited revelation.” >>> Prophet did not receive any other revelation besides Qur’an.
