Obligatory Prayers : 3 or 5 ?

[Mirch]

Re: Wuzu (Wudu - whatever)

@Seminole

Questioning and discussing Islamic scripture is considered passing a fatwa? I said I have only read of 3 prayers mentioned by name in the Quran. I’m waiting for someone to educate me on the other 2, that’s all.

Quran has mentioned various salat’s at various times. in various ayat’s.
So here are 4 at the two ends of the day. The word tarafi has been used which does not litraly mean end , it means during the duration of the day and the day for Arabs will be when there is full bright light is out there and that convers zuhar , Asar , and zulful lail covers maghrib and eisha.

O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence): Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times, when some of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.

@Seminole

You say I have full right to prove that Islam and Quran are lies and Allah does not exist. How could one do that if not pointing out the inconsistencies within things like Namaz , Roza , wuzu , zakaat, halal , haram , nikah , inheritance , surrogacy etc?

There are no inconsistancies in these things , there are no inconsistancies in Quran.

@Seminole

My intention here is not to prove Islam and Quran are lies. My question - as an ignorant, hell-bound non-believer - is where in the Quran does God mandate 5 daily prayers?

See above.
