Re: Why 5 salats...
Some times I really ponder on the mystery and the story of
"Allah tells him to enjoin the Muslims to pray fifty times a day; however, Moses tells Muhammad that they would never do it, and urges Muhammad to go back several times and ask for a reduction, until finally it is reduced to five times a day.''
Because Prophet Mohammed Salae ALLAH wa Allae Wsalam peace be upon him knew his Umat and He was the LAST messenger of ALLAH, The prophet who was LOVED by ALLAH ..... why would he need advise from Prophet Moosa or anyone... He was capable of knowing every thing, why would he go back and forth before reaching the number 5 .....
***If I remember rightly, he was carrying the NUR of ALLA swt in his eyes so Musa AS could 'see' ALLAH SWT. Remember how he always wanted to see ALLAH SWT but did not possess the strength to? And it is believed that on mi'raaj there was no hijaab btwn ALLAH SWT and His Beloved.
Unfortunately , I cannot recite any hadith for u as I only remember this from a jalsa i attended at the masjid which was on the auspicious event of the mi'raaj.
C'mon PSYAH bhai.....elaborate!!
