Bro Waseem,
Answer to your question by Tariq Mahmood Hashmi sb,a scholar in Almawrid.
"We believe that works of such scholars should be considered on its own merit rather than on acknowledgment from the orthodoxy. Louis Ginsberg took up many important projects and presented his understanding. He attracted criticism as well as acknowledgement. I am not in apposition to discuss the response of the Jewish scholarship to his works or identify his position as a Jewish scholar in precise terms. However, Mr Ghamidi has trusted the evidence in this particular case. I have not been able to discuss with Mr Ghamidi the reason of quoting him and relying on him. Will inshaAllah write back to you when I have"

| Asalaamu Alaykum, I'd like to query the meaning of the following phrase (The Prayer - Module 1 - para 1) ..."The prayer is nothing but an expression of these manifestations and, with graceful poise, combines all of them." The issue I have is with the phrase "..nothing but...". To me this indicates that prayer is 'merely' an 'expression' of something else and has nothing intrinsic. I beleive that prayer is more than just an expression, that it is an actual engagement or communication with Allah. Perhaps the sentence could be better phrased as "The form of prayer is nothing but ... ". I hope you can appreciate the difference and I offer it for your consideration. |

wa aleikum assalam,
I believe the point you make is important and thank you for it. One could instead leave out "nothing but" maybe . But it is good you point to the performance that is the form of prayer

The author, I believe, means to say that religion, according to him, in fact is that one gets to know and become aware that there is a deity (God Almighty) and he submits and humbles himself before this deity with feelings of love for and fear from him (the deity). This submission and this humility is expressed through worship. What is worship? Exalting and glorifying the deity, praising him and offering thanks to him, kneeling and prostrating before him are acts through which one worships the deity practically. Al-salaat (the ritual prayer) is but a perfect combination of these practices (acts which reflect worship).
The author does not intend to negate the spirit of worship. He first talks of the basis and then talks about the manifestation and of course the spirit is not excluded at any stage. All the other things like for example "remembering God" are directly related but in other ways. |

Question Preview
Question From the following verse:
Turn your face towards the Holy Mosque; wherever you are, turn your faces towards it [in the prayer]. (2:144)
We can derive that while praying we should:
Answer X face the Ka‘bah
any mosque
the mosque of our locality
all the above
Correct Answer all the above
---------------
really?
I do not quite understand how that could mean the local mosque can be faced.
wa salaam |

Salamu alaikum,
Can you please explain the hadith of Mother of the faithfuls A'ishah (rta)on page 3 that says that joining the hands between the knees while kneeling in the prayer is the way of the jews. The prophet (sws) has prohibited this. |
