Peace jkhan.
I am only referring to verses with "Aquimi/Aquimu...The Salat" Or "The Salat"-i.e Salat is preceded with "Al".
Not all other forms from the verb "Salla"./Yussallun/Salatuhum...etc They can mean different things according to the context.
You may not agree that all Aquimi The Salat or the Salat verses are a "contact prayer" from Qoran.
I am saying according to my understanding they are.
The consistency of the steps do not vary from generation to the next. generation.( Standing, bowing prostrating)
The corruption of " The salat "like including other than GOD in it, not devoting it to GOD Alone, changing the numbers, adding/taking away...etc have been cleared up by Qoran.
Did Mohammed do "Iquami the Salat" Why and how? Is there evidence he did? Was he instructed to "Aquimi The Salat"? How did he know what it was?
There are other things that have not got step by step instructions in Qoran. You can see the different interpretations for them here and elsewhere. For example how do you do Zakat ...etc.. But Qoran explained how they came about and how they were preserved- Wa Wassa Biha Abraham Baneeh- Abraham instructed his offspring...and so on.
Qoran needs pondering for the details to be found like you would put together a jigsaw. GOD has chosen His words to be a trial for those that claim they want to follow them.
If everything came as clear as crystals in Qoran, and no effort was made to find the path, there would be no need for a trial and GOD and the Angels would be present here explaining them.
Well, keep looking for your details. I will keep digging and studying to find mine.
Read the posts about The Salat again, there is not a shred of evidence in them to make me think I better stop observing The Salat. On the contrary, I see a lot of confusion with your and others explanation .
Would you agree with me brother that I cannot follow your reasoning on what you or others have provided so far?
I will keep on observing my contact prayer dedicating it to GOD Alone.
Thank you for the conversation and GOD bless you.
Peace.

Somehow in verse 23:1-10 and 70:23-34 God used sala and that sala is not As-Salat... So somehow if we depend on you we can go without performing As-Sala to Jenna... Coz As-Salat not mentioned here...
Pls don't twist GL.. I never said Salat or As-Salat not prayer.. Both are meant prayers in Quran certain verses... But obviously Salat has various meaning within Quran.. Undeniable... That's why I say both As-Sala and Zakath joined it cannot be prayer + giving... But in your one example you claim so.. It seems for you all As-sala are save Prayer... And Zakath is charity for you... You failed to ponder in my understanding of you...
Look below verse 2:177
"Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous"
Just look charity is explained in detail already in this verse.. And again God wants to add Zakath... God doesn't want double tax us.. Zakath is not charity in Quran... And Whereever it joined with As-Salat then it's upholding purification by having Ethics /Morals..
If still not clear just look verse 4:77 "Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakah"?....... ..."
Just use logic... Restrain your hands and prayer and Zakath.. What connection in it... If restrain hands from fighting then keep morals and brongforth purification...
Why to bring Zakath at all in fighting? Unconditionally without saying rich or poor to give Zakath... That's horrible...
Further why you say that standing ruku and sujud preserved.. So, you trust them beyond Quran... Did Allah taught you what is ruku and sujud stand for physically... Standing... No need to teach everyone knows how to stand.
Anyhow.. I know you are a believer and kind person with much patience.. God will judge us with what we do.. Only thing I can wish is May God guide us with what is right...
