Peace everyone,

I just posted Chapter 3 (the one about ?salat?) of the ?Quran for Peace? book on the book web site:

http://www.quran4peace.org/documents/Quran4peace-English-part3.pdf

I would appreciate everyone's feedback.

The other good news is that with the god's help the Facebook page has added another 250K fans in the last couple of months and now it has about 800K fans in total. With the god's help this could perhaps soon lead to a real revolution.

Peace and all best wishes,

Ayman

Thank you.
It is interesting, but I somehow miss the explanation of ablution in connection with salat.
Is it all that there is of the article about salat or there is more?

Peace
God has no Religion!

God is running everything.

Peace begins with me.

Given the optimal times of the learning connection at the start and end of day, washing is what one normally and naturally does when he wakes up and starts his day and when he returns home at the end of the day after work.

Peace brother!

Thank you for the third chapter. I have waited for this so long ;)

My best wishes,

One question: In the new chapter of your book you translate sujud as prostration. Have you changed your mind? Or is this simply because you are going to explain the meaning of sujud in the fourth chapter in detail?

Peace.

Thank you @ayman for the answer, but I do not agree, I do not think that God would mention in a Sublime Scripture such an obvious and hygienic habit everybody learns as children to wash your hands  ;)

Anyway...

Peace

Peace.

Ditto with Timur. I had regarded your understanding of sujud as not necessarily physical. This is also my view.

:peace: + nice to see brother ayman on here again :)
Allah created all in the world for you to live and use. Use your knowledge, heart, mind and soul to determine your path in guidance with God, the Designer and Creator, and you shall succeed as a right

Peace brother Timur,

I was going to explain the meaning in chapter 4. However, you are right that it may be better to specify the meaning as "obedience" right away and then explain in chapter 4. I have changed this based on your comment and uploaded a new version.

Peace,

When put in the context of doing the learning connection with a clear mind then it does make sense. Personally, I think better after washing :).

Yes, I think this is better. Thank you :) However, now a new problem occurs: You refer to obedience, but in the traditional translations you provide no obedience is mentioned. I think this may lead to confusions. Maybe it would be better to point out briefly that sujud is traditionally translated as prostration and that you are goind to explain your translation in the next chapter? What do you think?

Peace.

I provide a short explanation of why "sujud" means obedience as you suggested. I just uploaded the new version.

Thanks for the great input and support.
