Does it mean, only to make a line and perform stand and sit? Please clarify. The Prophet  (sws) and the Companions are thought only to have permission for this  &#8216;Yoga&#8217; or something meaningful later hidden by history.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>We believe that when the Qur&#8217;an commands the believers <em>aq\u012bm\u016b al-s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em> or uses the word <em>s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em> and its cognate terms it means to diligently offer the <em>s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em>. What is <em>s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em>? The Prophet Muhammad (sws) and the Muslim community of his time took it to mean the same <em>s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em>  the Muslims offer all over the world. It has not been constructed on  the basis of isolated h\u0323ad\u012bth reports but the entire Muslim generation  of the Prophet&#8217;s time was taught this and their children leant it from  them. The process continued till our time without interruption.  Therefore, there is no doubt in that the first addressees of the Qur&#8217;an  including the Prophet (sws) took the word to mean the <em>s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em> we  know today. Our knowledge is absolutely certain and sound as it has  reached us through the most authentic historical process. The Qur&#8217;anic references to <em>s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em>  also make it abundantly clear that it is only the worship ritual which  is intended. I am sorry your derogatory comment on the worship ritual of  Islam is not a praiseworthy act. We need to learn to respect the  worship rituals of the believers. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-21<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6263\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Qur\u2019an uses hundred of times the words &#8220;<em>Aq\u012bm\u016b al-s\u0323al\u0101h<\/em>&#8220;.
