Re: Namaz & Salat
I think the article says the following :-
- Namaz is not a quranic word but a pahlvi word
- Namaz only means namaz whereas salat includes namaz in addition to it, some more exposition to it.
- This make it clear that a person subservient to Allah, in whatever phase of life that be, accomplishes his assigned duties in accordance with the Divine Laws, is sheerly accomplishing the functioning of Salaat. It needs no identification of any time, place or any form fixed for it. But there are a few places in the Quran, where the word Salaat has been used for a particularly conspicuous act.”
i'm not sure whether i understood completely what the article says & i'm not sure how far the article is correct.
Hopefully someone on here will come along & give satisfactory answers.
