But HE does ask us to "observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), for the Contact Prayers prohibit evil and vice"
and in many places:
"Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer"
"And establish prayer"
"and establish prayer"
"Maintain with care the prayers and the middle prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient"
" do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated"
"And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt you"
"And when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they have prostrated, let them be behind you and have the other group come forward which has not prayed and let them pray with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms"
"And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times"
" Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little"
"And the establishers of prayer and the givers of zakah and the believers in Allah and the Last Day – those We will give a great reward"
"O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankle".
So Allah is putting so much stress on Salat but not telling us how to perform it - That does not seem fair? Does it ?
