Re: Learning about the Qur'an from a Catholic archbishop



There is no one Islamic Salat. There is Salat. Each Tariqah has has its own take/interpretation on how to offer prayers.

As for where to face during prayers:

To ALLAH belongs the East and the West; so whithersoever you turn, there will be the face of ALLAH … (2:115)

Agakhani Ismailis recite "Du'a" instead of the Islamic Salat, facing any direction, in their Jamatkhanas.

Re: Learning about the Qur'an from a Catholic archbishop

For the one who keeps saying ' I am ok with them as long as they do not use violence', what about other Tariqahs who are currently using violence and are a disgrace to humanity let alone the legacy of Holy Prophet (pbuh).

One thing has sure come to the light that the self-proclaimed Atheist is definitely no Atheist because it is evident he has very strong feelings (fetishes???) about how certain people should act or not act.

This faith thing is very personal that is why even members of a single Tariqah have difference of opinions let alone people from different Tariqahs. (Or someone from 'No Tariqah' :wink: ).

You will find all kinds of denominations praying in Makkah and Madinah. You do not wait to be invited there.

Re: Learning about the Qur'an from a Catholic archbishop

While Muslims differ in minor ways in their prayers, they all follow qiyam, ruku, sujood and juloos reciting tashahud and ending with Salaam.

These are outward forms of the salat. The real substance of the salat is in what is recited (surahs, ayats, supplications, durud etc) as part of it ...
