thank you brother The Sardar, I started to paste the exact same
page as you and concluded that salat as 'Social Justice  and  "Az-Zakat" as
'Distribution of Wealth/Resources was incorrect, therefore I concluded 
"uh-no and uh-no" what do you think?

Salam/Peace paste what exactly?

Salam/Peace paste what exactly?

@ The Sardar, I copied the definitions of Sad-Lam-Waw and Zay-Kaf-Waw 
from project root list but decided not to use them in my post!

Copy = gather information
paste = put in another place


                                                 

[IsaMuslim]

Red: That is not exactly correct dear brother, we are more servants because in these verses talks about freeing slaves. (90:10-14, 2:177, 9:60)

You can see an article by brother Wakas: http://www.misconceptions-about-islam.com/islam-quran-abolish-slavery.htm

Salaam brother,
Of course it depends on your definitions of "servant" and "slave".

To me, whether we say that we are slaves of God, or servants of God, is the same; the concept of being slaves/servants to God ('Abd) is that we are dependant on Him, like a slave is dependant on his master.

The Quran of course is to abolish the literal slavery between humans.

I am not sure of being slaves of God would really fit us to be honest, He gave us an important advice to verify information (17:36). Plus abolishing slavery but beings slaves to our beloved Creator would be hypocritical. Servant is more fitting because you are upholding the covenant of Allah (SWTAY).

Salam! Establish Love/Affection? It is good to ears but Why, How and with/for whom? Please elaborate.

So how do we show our grattitude to someone whom we are indebted?

By Salat  some just say we connect to Him, but how? In many  faiths including Islam, people bring in offerings and used to distribute to the needy, and  in Quranic verses too Zakat/help comes mostly along with Salat .We are blessed and also in need of blessings and Salat i think is our expression in return to that blessings we get. God loves/bless us and naturally we should return the same.  Salat to God could be the way we express our love and affection to Him. It can be in any way we think is opt. The rich  by  giving their excess wealth, a learned one could share their knowledge and each one serving what they are blessed with. I donot think Salaat ends up in a plain ritual but it creates a platform to volunteer ourselves to give back what we are blessed with.

When the Malaikah do Salat on the Prophet, then they are  showing their favor/support to the prophet to spread his message and thats Allah's Salat too.
