Which verse in the Quran that Allah tells how important is the salah or prayer?


There are many verses in Quran that show how is the prayer (salah) is important.

Some of these verses are:

  • " Recite what is sent of the book (Quran) by revelation to you and establish regular prayer, for prayer keeps you away from shameful and unjust deeds (sins)... "
(Quran, chapter 29, verse 45)

  • " Guard strictly (five obligatory) as-salawat (the prayers) especially the middle salah (ie the best prayer, Asr) and stand before Allah(God) with obedience (and don't speak to others during the salah or prayers)".
(Quran, chapter 2, verse 238)

  • " Say (O Mohamed) to Ibadi (my servants) who have believed, that they should perform as-salah (prayers) and spend in charity out of the sustenance,..."
(Quran, chapter 14, verse 31)


Other verses warn those give up prayers. Some of these verses are:

  • "... there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up as-salah (the prayers) and have followed lusts. So, they will be thrown in Hell."
(Quran, chapter 19, verse 59)

  • "...So woe unto those performers of salah (prayers)(hypocrites), Those who delay their salah (prayer from their stated fixed times)...."

The book of the Muslims, the holy Qur'an, is the last heavenly book revealed to the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Its revelation started in 610 AD when he was 40 years of age. It was completed in about 23 years just a few days before his passing away.

Where prophet Adam buried?

No one can know - he was the first man on earth and therefore his children would've buried him. But it would've been near impossible to keep this record!

Actually, his children did bury him & they did keep the record; he is buried in the lowest chamber of Me'erat HaMachpela in Hebron, Israel. The chamber is past where Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebecca, and Jacob are buried & is held to be the entrance to the Garden of Eden (in the past 2,000 years or so, there hasn't been anyone that has made it down there & come back alive. Even before that, it was rare that a person came back out alive or even normal.)

Also, some say that since he was buried before the flood, the terrain has changed & we no longer know the places. This is not exactly true. The land of Israel did not move in the flood & Abraham, as well as Moses, Miriam, King David, etc were all prophets & they were able to locate & mark the places of certain events that happened before the flood (for instance, the place where the dust of Adam was gathered from; remember Adam was made outside of the Garden of Eden & then brought into the garden). From then on, these spots have been marked one way or another (for instance, on the spot where Adam's dust was gathered is where the temple mount is sitting).

When was the quran created?

Hello, I will attempt to answer your question:

What is the Quran?

Al-Quran is the eternal miracle. It is the last Book of Allah sent for the guidance of humanity through the last Prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him (PBUH).

Revelation of the Quran

The Quran was revealed piecemeal throughout a period of about 23 years. The Prophet received the first revelation in 610CE, in the Cave of Hira in the Mountain of Light (Jabale-Noor), two and a half miles away from the House of Allah in the city of Makkah in Arabia.

The first revelation was the first five verses of Surah (chapter) Al-Alaq: "Iqra bismi rabbikalla dhi khalaq. Khalaqal insana min alaq. Iqra WA rabbukal akram. Alladhi 'allama bil qalam. 'Allamal insana malam ya'lam, " which means "Read in the name of your Lord who created, created man from a clot. Read, for your Lord is most Generous, Who teaches by means of the pen, teaches man what he does not know." (96: 1-5)

The last revelation was the third verse of Surah Al-Maidah, which was sent down to the Prophet in 632 C.E. : "Al yawma akmaltu lakum dinakam WA atmamtu alaikam ni'mati WA raditu' lakumul islama dinan''," which means "Today I perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you and have chosen for you Al-Islam as your religion." (5:3)

Surah Al-Fatiha (The Opening Chapter) was the first complete chapter to be revealed and Surah An-Nasr was the last.

7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran

(1) Intimate:

It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans can not write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also from the spirits. The Quran said this fourteen hundreds years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written - but not another one like the Quran.

(2) Incorruptible:

It is the only religious sacred writing which has been in circulation for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since it was completely revealed 1400 years ago.

(3) Unsurpassable:

The Quran is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and finally the Quran to Muhammad. Peace be upon all of them. No other book will come from God to surpass his final revelation.

(4) Indisputable:

The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries confirm that the Quran was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to accord with modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a modern discovery.

(5) Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife:

The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life and endeavor. The Quran also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how to get to paradise.

(6) God's Gift of Guidance:

God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why he made you, what he demands from you, and what he has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to it's manufacture specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner's manual for you? The Quran is from your function for success lest you fail to function. It is a healing mercy from God. It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace.

(7) Your Calling Card to Communicate with God:

Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the source of all intelligence and the source of all life- the One God. The Quran tells us who God is, by what name we should address God, and the way in which to communicate with God. Are these not seven sufficient reasons for reading the Quran?

What is the story of prophet musa?

The summary of Moses is A retelling of the bible story. Pharaoh Ramses decrees the death of all Hebrew children, but Moses, placed in a basket in the Nile by his mother, is taken by a royal princess and raised as the brother of the heir to the throne of Egypt, Memefta. Moses is called by God to lead his people from Egypt to the promised land. A very reluctant prophet, feeling unworthy of the call, Moses accepts the task. After a series of plagues Memefta agrees to let the Hebrews go. With second thoughts, he pursues them to annihilation of his army in the parting of the Red Sea. Starvation is averted by manna from heaven, the ten commandments are given the people through Moses, they go astray with worship of the golden calf. Forty years of wandering in the wilderness, until finally they reach what will be their home (which Moses lives to see but not to enter). Written by Bruce Cameron {dumarest@midcoast.com} The story begins in Egypt with the persecution of newborn Hebrew males, and Ptira's, the Pharaoh's daughter, discovery of the infant Moses on the Nile. Moses' youth at the Pharaoh's court ends abruptly when he is forced to flee, after he kills an Egyptian overseer to save his brother Aaron. During his years of exile, Moses meets his future wife Zipporah and her father Jethro. After Moses and Zipporah's wedding, the vision of God in the Burning Bush occurs, commanding Moses to return to Egypt with Zipporah and his brother Aaron. There, Moses and Aaron confront the Pharaoh, demanding that he free the Israelites. Only after the tenth plague - the killing of the Egyptian firstborn - does the Pharaoh allow them to depart. With the crossing of the Red Sea and God's destruction of the Egyptian army ends the first part of the story. The second part begins with the discontent of the famished Israelites with Moses. The mood changes when God nourishes Israelites with the sudden, welcome gift of manna and quails in the desert. On the slopes of Mount Sinai, God and the people of Israel enter into a Covenant, which is sealed by Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on the mountaintop. Upon his return to the camp, however, Moses is shocked to discover that the people of Israel have lost their faith in God and are now worshipping an idol: the Golden Calf. In rage, Moses smashes the tablets and severely punishes the idolizers before retreating to the mountaintop and receiving the new tablets. On the way to the Promised Land, Moses' sister, Miriam, jealous of Moses' wife Zipporah, rebels against her brother's leadership. God punishes her and makes it quite clear that Moses is the chosen leader and will remain so. Finally on the borders of the Promised Land, the Israelites send out twelve scouts. Their fearful description of the Canaanites when they return shocks the people of Israel into rebelling against Moses and Aaron, intending to kill them and return immediately to Egypt. God quickly punishes the rebels, and tells Moses that none of the adult Israelites he has led will ever see the Promised Land, and instead must wander through the desert for another 40 years. Exactly forty years later, Miriam dies. Although Moses wants to mourn the loss of his sister, the people only complain to him about the lack of water. At God's command, Moses strikes a rock and water flows from it, but he is so angry and frustrated with his people that he forgets to attribute the miracle to God, and he too is condemned to never enter the Promised Land. Moses appoints Joshua as his successor and sets off alone to the peak of Mount Nebo. As a final mark of his forgiveness and thankfulness, God grants Moses the chance to look over into the Promised Land just before his death. Finally, now under the leadership of Joshua, the Israelites cross the Jordan river into the Promised Land. Happyfeet360 wrote this.

What are the different Muslim attitudes towards other religions?

The main religious teachings found in the Koran and Hadith, have many 'suras' that teach Islam is the only way and all other views need to be assimilated or discarded. Islam has, however, respected other religions to some point. However, there are some Islamic extremists who believe anyone that is not a Muslim is condemned. Currently, ISIS/ISIL is trying to form a 'caliphate' where only Islam will be tolerated. They desire to convert the entire world - primarily through non-peaceful means.

Does the koran teach that you can lie?

The Qur'an says:

"Speak the truth, even if it is against yourselves, or a near relative".

"Stand out as witnesses to God, upholders of what is true and good. And do not let the hatred of a people towards you cause you to be unjust".

Speaking the truth - to believers as well as non-believers - is a command of God, in the Qur'an. If it was true that Muslims are supposed to deceive non-Muslims, then why is every translation of the Qur'an like every other translation? No one who translated the Qur'an tried to hide the meanings of any verses. We believe in our message - and we are not afraid to tell it like it is.

Why Muslims pray before an animal is slaughtered for food?

Dr. Zakir Niak in his book 'Answers to non-Muslims common questions' reply to this questiom as;

The Islamic method of slaughtering animals, known as Zabiha has been the object of much criticism from a large number of people. One may consider the following points, which prove that the Zabiha method is not only humane but also scientifically the best:

1. Islamic method of slaughtering animal

Zakkaytum is a verb derived from the root word Zakah (to purify). Its infinitive is Tazkiyah which means purification. The Islamic mode of slaughtering an animal requires the following conditions to be met:

a. Animal should be slaughtered with sharp object (knife)

The animal has to be slaughtered with a sharp object (knife) and in a fast way so that the pain of slaughter is minimised.

b. Cut wind pipe, throat and vessels of neck

Zabiha is an Arabic word which means 'slaughtered'. The 'slaughtering' is to be done by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck causing the animal's death without cutting the spinal cord.

c. Blood should be drained

The blood has to be drained completely before the head is removed. The purpose is to drain out most of the blood which would serve as a good culture medium for micro-organisms. The spinal cord must not be cut because the nerve fibres to the heart could be damaged during the process causing cardiac arrest, stagnating the blood in the blood vessels.

2. Blood is a good medium for germs and bacteria

Blood is a good media of germs, bacteria, toxins, etc. Therefore the Muslim way of slaughtering is more hygienic as most of the blood containing germs, bacteria, toxins, etc. that are the cause of several diseases are eliminated.

3. Meat remains fresh for a longer time

Meat slaughtered by Islamic way remains fresh for a longer time due to deficiency of blood in the meat as compared to other methods of slaughtering.

4. Animal does not feel pain

The swift cutting of vessels of the neck disconnects the flow of blood to the nerve of the brain responsible for pain. Thus the animal does not feel pain. While dying, the animal struggles, writhers, shakes and kicks, not due to pain, but due to the contraction and relaxation of the muscles defecient in blood and due to the flow of blood out of the body.

What is the influence of the Qur'an on Arabic literature?

Answer 1

Holy Quran made Arabic pure of all its evils and provided it with divinity, purity and eloquence.

before Holy Quran, Arabic literature was in form of poetry, oratory and proverbs. that were master pieces but were very much restricted to the environment of Arabs.

Quran gave Arabic a universality and proved to be the very savior of the language.

Answer 2

The Qur'an was at the very beginning of written Arabic (older versions were primarily oral languages). As a result, the Qur'an's grammatical style became the basic style of modern Arabic and many of its metaphors and rhyming schemes became common expressions (similar to what happened with the Bible in Europe).
