as salam alykom
Still bringing Ayah's from Quran explaining or more to say confirming that Allah Ordained Salat as ritual and 2nd pillar of Islam. One who abandons Salat out of denial is NOT a Muslim.
"And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, <b>there is no sin on you if you shorten your Salaat (prayer) i</b>f you fear that the disbelievers may attack you, verily, the disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies." (Quran 4:101)
One understands from this Ayah that in normal cases Salat shall be performed in a longer form.
"<b>When you (O Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are among them, and lead them in As-Salaat (the prayer), let </b>one party of them stand up [in Salaat (prayer)] with you taking their arms with them; <b>when they finish their prostrations, </b>let them take their positions in the rear and let the other party come up which has not yet prayed, and let them pray with you taking all the precautions and bearing arms. Those who disbelieve wish, if you were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to attack you in a single rush, but there is no sin on you if you put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because you are ill, but take every precaution for yourselves. Verily, Allah has prepared a humiliating torment for the disbelievers." (Quran 4:102)
Allah u Akbar I dont think we need even to comment on this Ayah Sobhan Allah. This is Salat u khawf (fear) which is performed in case of a war.
:Then when the (Jumu'ah) Salat (prayer) is finished, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah (by working, etc.), and remember Allah much, that you may be successful" (Quran 62:10)
Allah Is the Truth Sayer
