-------------------------------
1- My personal understanding:
Prayer is a way of direct connection with God in Islam.
God never needs it; but we do, releasing negative emotions and providing somebody to talk to.
How to pray:
A-Perform ablution:
B-Rise (stand) as Sura 5 Verse 6 said.
C-recite verses from the Quran, and call God with anything you want.
D- Bow, since bowing is also mentioned in another verse:
E-prostrate as Sura 22 verse 77 said, and also like Sura 4 verse 102 said here:
F-Repeat
Case closed. All the above is in the Quran.
You should also pay attention to the 3 long times of the day and night which prayers must take place in (they are also in the Quran):
1-Dawn to noon (Fajr Prayer)
2-Noon to night ( Doher Prayer)
3-Night to Dawn (Eshaa Prayer) -Sura 11, verse 114 which I mentioned-.
Cycle repeats.
The first verse refers to ablution, which is not what the title of the thread implies. The verse in Sura 4 is prayer as done in war time, not on a day to day basis.
No scholar in the world nor Sunni nor shia instructs three prayers a day, you are completely alone in your understanding.
Let's suppose you're right about the number of prayers , what are the steps to follow in one prayer, what body movements do we do specifically to call them prayer according to the Qur'an?
No. Your Hadith told you it's just in war time; the special condition that Muslims have the right to carry arms during the prayer, that's what the verse said.
I don't care about the scholars of the Sunni/Shiite church; read what my religion tag says.
About body moves, join a dance course.
