Chapter-The Cow continued...
The Quran then says "and those who keep up the connection/daily prayer".
The ritual prayer is highly connected to the Surah before, and so it is mentioned right after belief in the unseen. This is a serious hint that vision of the unseen requires us to attempt and try to connect.
The name of God is something that God alone has the right to name himself by. We aren't to create God or his name in our imagination. Rather, the daily prayers are a means to connect to God through his hidden name.
His hidden name although beyond vision is also manifest and within vision or otherwise, a connection would not be possible. This is why the first thing mentioned after belief in that which has been hidden, which we saw other verses refers to the proof and guide of our time and we await the days his light becomes clear and manifest to the whole world, as it's the holy spirit and name of God that is by which victory is to be achieved.
Another thing that is important, is that Salah explicitly in all it's details has not been explained by Quran, rather it's been explained in a subtle interior way. Thus right away we see a reason why the name of God needs to be coupled with the Quran to be a guidance, because, the name of God is a position held by the Prophet and his family.
They are to compliment the Quran, and for example, explain the details of Salah and help perceive those explicit details within the philosophy and reasoning of Quran and in complementary way of Quran.
The hidden details of Salah are within Quran and explicitly brought out through those who God has vested his authority and name in. The connection like God's Name is not something we decide, rather, God knows the path of ascension and best way of connection to him.
Suratal Fatiha is repeated in Salah, and it's the heart of the connection. It said by Ahlulbayt (as) the greatest Surah is Suratal Fatiha (the Opening ie. the 1st chapter of Quran) and it is said the greatest verse it has is "by the name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful". In fact, it sets the tone of the Quran.
God's name is just a reminder of God, but ultimately, while it's just that, it's God greatest favor upon us, and the means to connect to him.
The generous nature of God favoring us with connection to him, and teaching us way in the outward and inward, to connect to him, requires us to be compassionate and generous to others.
"and those who of what we given them of sustenance spend." It said while this definitely includes wealth, the greater emphasis it has in this place is spreading knowledge and not hiding the truth from the masses, but generously giving others the knowledge we been given. It also includes spending wealth definitely, but with the place of the "that which has been hidden" it refers primarily through valuing that which is hidden more then this world, to the extent we do spend wealth but more importantly, spread our knowledge.
This is a place that claims it is meant for these dialogues. I'm not sure what they would say. I don't think my Doctor would really care.

Then it appears that I do have something more than conjecture.
It also appears that you consider it OK to preach and offend us, repeatedly. Why do you think that behavior should be anymore acceptable on the forum? Why should we accept your continued obsessive indulgence and claims of superiority?
Answer the question, do you tell your mental health treatment professionals about your behavior here? If yes, what have they told you regarding this behavior.
