    The Purpose of Wudu (Ablution)

    Sura 5.6 The Feast (Al-Medah) [5:6] O you who believe, when

    you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), you shall: (1) wash yourfaces, (2) wash your arms to the elbows, (3) wipe your heads, and

    (4) wash your feet to the ankles. If you were unclean due tosexual orgasm, you shall bathe. If you are ill, or traveling, or hadany digestive excretion (urinary, fecal, or gas), or had (sexual)contact with the women, and you cannot find water, you shall

    observe the dry ablution (Tayammum)by touching clean dry soil,then rubbing your faces and hands. GOD does not wish to make

    the religion difficult for you; He wishes to cleanse you and toperfect His blessing upon you, that you may be appreciative.

    [5:7] Remember GOD's blessing upon you, and His covenant thatHe covenanted with you: you said, "We hear and we obey." You

    shall observe GOD; GOD is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

    Wash the face 2- Wash the arms to the elbows 3- Wipe the head4- Wipe the feet to the ankles. Make prayer intention by saying

    Nawaytu salat + time of day(Ex: Fajr,Isha,etc.)

    ADAN/AZAN THE WAY IT WAS

    The Call to Prayer (Azaan) Azaan is not a part of the Contact

    Prayers, nor is it required. But it has become a tradition in theMuslim communities to summon the people to prayer through a

    loud announcement. The original Azaan used to conform with the

    Quran's teachings, and became corrupted with time.

    Originally, the call to prayer consisted of:

    (1) Allahu Akbar (God is Great), 4 times.

    (2) Laa Elaaha Ellah Allah (There is no other god beside God),once.

    Many years later, some people added Muhammad's pbuh name

    to the Azan. This violates God's commandments in 2:136, 2:285,

    3:84, 4:150 and 72:18. Later, other groups of Muslims added the

    names of Ali and his family. Today, the Azaan is severely

    corrupted throughout the Muslim world, and constitutes idolworship, not Submission to God ALONE.

    PRAYER(SALAT) IN THE QURAN

    HOW TO PRAY FROM THE QURAN ONLY

    The contact prayer was given to the Prophet Abraham andpassed on to us from generation to generation.

    The prayer existed before Muhammad. Muhammad's solemission was to deliver the Quran.

    There is no dispute concerning the number of units in all five dailyprayers.

    The Quran's mathematical code confirms the number of units inthe five prayers 2, 4, 4, 3 and 4 respectively.

    The Quran deals only with practices that were distorted, forexample, the voice tone during the prayer.

    Where can we find Salat in the Quran?When Abraham implored

    God in [14:40], he did not ask for wealth or health; the gift heimplored for was: "Please God, make me one who observes the

    contact prayers."

    The religious duties instituted by God are in fact a great gift fromHim. They constitute the nourishment required for the growth and

    development of our Souls. Belief in God does not by itselfguarantee our redemption; we must also nourish our souls

    (6:158, 10:90-92). Additionally 15:99 states that observing thereligious duties instituted by God is our means of attaining

    certainty: "Worship your Lord in order to attain certainty."

    We learn from 2:37 that we can establish contact with God byuttering the specific Arabic words given to us by God in Sura 1,the Key, which is a combination of sounds that unlocks the door

    between us and God:

    1. The Dawn Prayer must be observed during two hours beforesunrise [11:114], [24:58].

    2. The Noon Prayer is due when the sun declines from itshighest point at noon [17:78].

    3. The Afternoon Prayer can be observed during the 3-4 hourspreceding sunset [2:238].

    4. The Sunset Prayer is due after sunset [11:114].5. The Night Prayer can be observed after the twilight

    disappears from the sky [24:58].

    The Friday noon congregational prayer is an obligatory duty of

    every Submitting man and woman (62:9). Failure to observe the

    Friday Prayer is a gross offense.

    Each contact prayer is valid if observed anytime during the period

    it becomes due until the next prayer becomes due. Once missed,

    a given contact prayer is a missed opportunity that cannot be

    made up; one can only repent and ask forgiveness. The five

    prayers consist of 2, 4, 4, 3, and 4 units (Rak'ahs), respectively.

    The Quran teaches us that Abraham is the founder of Islam as it

    is practiced today. All religious practices, including the contact

    prayer, were given to the Prophet Abraham and passed on to us

    generation after generation. The majority of Muslims always ask,how can these practices come to us from Abraham and not from

    Muhammad. They do not trust that God Almighty can preserve

    His own religious practices (rituals). They do not know that, the

    Hadith and Sunna books do not have enough information about

    how to perform Salat, the number of Rakaat (units), or what to say

    in them.

    Not a single time, was the prophet Muhammad reported as telling

    the people, let me tell you how to perform your Salat prayers, or

    let me tell you the number of Rakaat in the prayers. The Prophet

    Muhammad and the people before him were given the ways to

    pray, which were already handed down from Abraham through

    generations of believers who kept the prayers intact as God

    promised. God would not have told Muhammad to follow the

    religion of Abraham if no one knew or practiced that religion.

    In other words, all religious practices in Islam existed long before

    Muhammad. Muhammad's sole mission was to deliver the Quran.

    [Quran 13:40] Your ONLY mission (O Muhammad) is to

    deliver (Quran), while it is we who will call them to account.

    [Quran 42:48] You (O Muhammad) have no duty EXCEPT

    delivering (Quran).

    [Quran 5:99] The messenger has no function EXCEPT

    delivering (Quran)...

    The proof that Salat was already established through Abraham is

    found in [8:35], [9:54], [16:123], [21:73].

    This most important duty in Islam (Submission) has been so

    severely distorted that the contact prayers (Salat) have become a

    practice in idolatry for the vast majority of Muslims. Although the

    Quran commands that our contact prayers must be devoted to

    God alone [20:14], [39:3, 39:45], today's Muslims insist on

    commemorating "Muhammad and his family" and "Abraham and

    his family" during their prayers. This renders the prayers null and

    void [39:65].

    All the 5 contact prayers confirmed

    1. Sura 1 is God's gift to us, to establish contact with Him(Salat). Write the sura number and the number of verses

    next to each other and you get 17, the total number of unitsin the 5 daily prayers.

    2. Let us write down the sura number, followed by the numberof each verse in the sura. This is what we get: 1 1 2 3 4 5 6

    7. This number is a multiple of 19.3. Now, let us replace each verse number by the number ofletters in that verse. This is what we get: 1 19 17 12 11 19 18

    43 also a multiple of 19.Theoretically, one can alter theletters ofSura 1, and still keep the same number of letters,

    however, the following mathematical phenomena rule outthat possibility. For the gematrical value of every single letter

    is taken into consideration. Here it is:

    94. Let us include the gematrical value of every verse, and write

    it down following the number of letters in each verse: 1 19786 17 581 12 618 11 241 19 836 18 1072 43 6009 also a

    multiple of 19.5. Now, let us add the number of each verse, followed by the

    number of letters in that verse, then the gematrical value ofthat verse. This is what we get: 1 1 19 786 2 17 581 3 12

    618 4 11 241 5 19 836 6 18 1072 7 43 6009 a multiple of 19.6. Instead of the gematrical value of every verse, let us write

    down the gematrical values of every individual letter in Sura1. This truly awesome miracle shows that the resulting longnumber, consisting of 274 digits, is also a multiple of 19. 1 71 19 2 60 40 1 30 30 5 1 30 200 8 40 50 1 30 200 8 10 40 217 ...50This number starts with the sura number, followed by

    the number of verses in the sura, followed by the versenumber, followed by the number of letters in this verse,

    followed by the gematrical values of every letter in this verse,followed by the number of the next verse, followed by thenumber of letters in this verse, followed by the gematricalvalues of every letter in this verse, and so on to the end ofthe sura. Thus, the last component is 50, the value of "N"

    (last letter).

    7. Since I cannot write very long numbers here, let ussubstitute [*] for the long number consisting of the number ofevery verse, followed by the number of letters in the verse,

    followed by the gematrical value of every individual letter inthe verse. If we write down the number of the sura, followed

    by its number of verses, we get 17, the number of units(Rak'aas) in the 5 daily prayers.Next to the 17, write downthe number of the first prayer (1), followed by its number of

    Rak'aas, which is 2, then two [*]'s, followed by the number of

    the second prayer (2), followed by the number of Rak'aas inthe second prayer (4), followed by four [*]'s, and so on.

    Not only is the resulting long number a multiple of 19, but it

    is also the number of its component digits; 4636 (19x244) ....Please note that any representation ofSura 1 can replace

    the [*]'s without affecting the outcome; all of them givemultiples of 19.

    For example, a short representation of "The Key" consists ofthe Sura number (1), followed by the verses (7), followed bythe total number of letters in Sura 1 (139), followed by the

    total gematrical value of the whole sura (10143). Theresulting number (1713910143) can also represent [*].

    Confirmation of the Friday prayer

    8. Since the Friday prayer consists of two sermons and twoRak'aas (total is still 4 units), we read only 15 "Keys" on

    Friday, compared with 17 on the other days. If we replacethe 17 by 15 in the long number in [7] and remove two

    "Keys" from the noon prayer, we still get a multiple of 19.This confirms the Friday Prayer, at noon, with 2 "Keys." Thelong number shown below represents Friday's five prayers; it

    is a multiple of19.1512[*][*]24[*][*]34[*][*][*][*]43[*][*][*][*]54[*][*][*][*]

    The Key must be recited in Arabic

    9. The first sura in the Quran is mathematically composed in amanner that challenges and stumps the greatest

    mathematicians on earth. Now we appreciate the fact thatwhen we recite Sura 1, "The Key," during our Contact

    Creator 5 times a day, we nourish and develop our souls in

    preparation for the Big Day when we meet God. Only thosewho nourish their soul will be able to withstand and enjoy the

    physical presence of Almighty God. All submitters, of allnationalities, recite the words of "The Key" which were

    written by God Himself, and given to us to establish contactwith Him [2:37].

    When you recite "The Key" in Arabic, your lips touch each

    other precisely 19 times. Your lips touch each other wherethe letters "B" and "M" occur. There are 4 "B's" and 15 "M's"and this adds up to 19. The gematrical value of the 4 "B's" is

    4x2=8, and the gematrical value of the 15 "M's" is15x40=600. The total gematrical value of the 4 "B's" and 15

    "M's" is 608, that is 19x32.

    where are the details of the Contact Prayers?" These peopleask this question because they are not aware that the Quran

    informs us that the Contact Prayers came from Abraham([21:73][22:78]. If we write down the numbers of the prayerswith their bowings, prostrations and Tashahhuds, we get:1 1

    This long number consists of the sura that we recite in the 5prayers (1) followed by the number of the first prayer (1),

    then the number of "Keys" that we recite in this prayer (2),

    then the number of bowings (Ruku`) (2), then the number ofprostrations (4), then the number of Tashahhuds (in the

    Conclusion

    There is no dispute concerning the number of units (rak`ahs) in all

    five daily prayers enjoined by God for Abraham and his followers.

    They are universally accepted to be 2, 4, 4, 3, and 4 units. The

    Quran deals only with practices that were distorted, for example,

    the tone voice during the contact prayer.

    Other additional units practiced by the traditional Muslims are

    disputed and vary according to different sects (from none to as

    many as 10 units per prayer). These extra prayers are considered

    Sunna, something that Prophet Muhammad was claimed to have

    done. However, establishing religious rites that are not authorized

    by God is a gross offense. Prophet Muhammad or any messenger

    of God would never disobey God by adding or even slightlychanging anything that God had enjoined them to do. People who

    follow these practices not only disobey God, but they also make

    the religion difficult for themselves, and for their children. God tells

    us in the Quran that He does not want hardship for us:

    [Quran 22:78] "He has chosen you and placed no hardship on

    you in practicing your religion...."

    Even after showing all this Quranic evidence to those who do not

    believe God, you will note that they insist on their ways. After all

    that they may ask you again ; "Where are the details of salat

    prayers in the Quran?" Until they decide to believe their Creator in

    His repeated assertions that the Quran is complete, perfect and

    fully detailed, they can never see the Quranic truth. This is

    documented in 18:57:

    [Quran 18:57] "Who is more wicked than one who is reminded of

    the verses of His Lord, then disregard them, while unaware of his

    sin ? Consequently, we place shields on their hearts, to prevent

    them from understanding (Quran), and deafness in their ears.

    Thus, if you invite them to the guidance, they can never ever be

    guided."

    SUMMARY

    The contact prayer came to us through Abraham generation after

    generation.

    The distorted parts of it were corrected by the Quran.

    The correct parts of it were confirmed by the mathematical

    miracle of the Quran.

    feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast. If onevolunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the

    best for you, if you only knew.

    [2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran wasrevealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, andthe statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fasttherein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the samenumber of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not

    HAJJ

    Like all the rituals of Islam, Abraham was the first receiver of Hajj

    ritual. He passed these rituals from one generation to another.

    Corruption found its way to these rituals over the years. We are

    blessed because God sent us a messenger from among us to

    purify and clarify for us these rituals after a long period of

    corruption.

    [Quran 5:19] O people of the scripture, our messenger has come

    to you, to explain things to you, after a period of time without

    messengers, lest you say, "We did not receive any preacher or

    warner." A preacher and warner has now come to you. God is

    Omnipotent.

    [Quran 14:4] We did not send any messenger except (to preach)

    in the tongue of his people, in order to clarify things for them. God

    then sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He

    wills. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise.

    The Rites of Hajj in the Quran

    The commencement of Hajj

    [Quran 2:189] They ask you about the phases of the moon! Say,

    "They provide a timing device for the people, and determine the

    time of Hajj." It is not righteous to beat around the bush;

    righteousness is attained by upholding the commandments and

    by being straightforward. You shall observe God, that you may

    succeed.

    The 12th month of the Islamic calendar is called Zul-Hijja and it is

    the first of the four consecutive months 12th , 1st , 2nd and 3rd

    during which God decreed the Hajj. The birth of the new moon of

    the month of Zul Al-Hijja signals the beginning of the four months

    of Hajj.

    The Duration of Hajj

    The duration of Hajj is given in 2:197 which reads:

    [Quran 2:197] Hajj shall be observed in the specified months.

    Whoever sets out to observe Hajj shall refrain from sexual

    intercourse, misconduct, and arguments throughout Hajj.

    Whatever good you do, God is fully aware thereof. As youprepare your provisions for the journey, the best provision is

    righteousness. You shall observe Me, O you who possess

    intelligence.

    Some of the Muslim scholars corrupted the law of God and

    reduced the time of Hajj from four months to the first ten days of

    the 12th month. They've justified their claims by corrupting the

    meaning of verses such as:

    [Quran 22:28] ....They shall commemorate Gods name during the

    specified days .

    [Quran 2:203] ......You shall commemorate God for a number of

    days.

    They deliberately ignored the fact that Hajj itself can be completed

    in few days but observed during the four specified months. The

    example of fasting the month of Ramadan, makes it clear as God

    describes this fasting also as specific days although the ritual of

    fasting is for the whole month.

    [Quran 2:184] Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one isill or traveling, ....."

    Abstentions (Ehraam) during Hajj

    Hunting is prohibited during Hajj.

    [Quran 5:1] ...You shall not permit hunting throughout Hajj

    pilgrimage. God decrees whatever He wills.

    See also 5:2 and 5:95

    All warfare is prohibited in the Sacred months of Hajj except in

    self defense.

    [Quran 2:217] They ask you about the Sacred Months and fighting

    therein: say, Fighting therein is a sacrilege.

    Sexual intercourse, misconduct and arguments prohibited

    [Quran 2:197] ....Whoever sets out to observe Hajj shall refrain

    from sexual intercourse, misconduct, and arguments throughout

    Hajj."

    During Hajj, abstaining from cutting ones hair is a requirement as

    per 2:196

    [Quran 2:196] You shall observe the complete rites of Hajj and

    `Umrah for God. If you are prevented, you shall send an offering,

    and do not resume cutting your hair until your offering has

    reached its destination."

    The Tawaaf (circling the Ka'ba)

    Tawaf is mentioned in the following verse.

  • 7/31/2019 The Real 5 Pillars of Islam

    20/21

    THE REAL 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM

    20

    [Quran 22:29] "They shall complete their obligations, fulfill their

    vows, and visit the ancient shrine (Tawaf)."

    The Safa and Marwah

    [Quran 2:158] The knolls of Safa and Marwah are among the rites

    decreed by God. Anyone who observes Hajj or `Umrah commits

    no error by traversing the distance between them. If one

    volunteers more righteous works, then God is Appreciative,

    Omniscient."

    Mount Arafat and Muzdalifah

    These two rites are mentioned in 2:198:

    [Quran 2:198] When you file from `Arafat, you shall commemorate

    God at the Sacred Location (of Muzdalifah)."

    The symbolic stoning of Satan

    The stoning ceremonies symbolize rejection of Satan polytheism

    and are done by throwing 7 pebbles at each of three stations

    while glorifying God. (15:34). The messenger of the covenant

    confirmed the stoning as part of Hajj as much as he confirmedthat the Hajj is four months and named these months for us.

    Mena

    The visit to Mena is mentioned in the following verse:

    [Quran 2:203] You shall commemorate God for a number of days

    (in Mena). Whoever who hastens to do this in two days commits

    no sin, and whoever stays longer commits no sin, as long as

    righteousness is maintained."

    Animal Offerings

    The animal offerings during hajj, see 22:36

    [Quran 22:36] The animal offerings are among the rites decreed

    by God for your own good. You shall mention God's name on

    them while they are standing in line. Once they are offered for

    sacrifice, you shall eat therefrom and feed the poor and theneedy. This is why we subdued them for you, that you may show

    your appreciation.
