Christian/Muslim ThreadsWhy muslims cast stones at a well in Mecca.I should have known better to use AYA translation without reading the Arabic first. O well I guess I will take the hit for it. No problemo. But lets look at some of your verses, I am still trying to figure out where you got these translations from. "The Setting of the Sun" would be Maghrib. The Arabic is "ashiyyaa" in which the word "ishaa" comes from Here is the Arabic: ูููููู ุงููุญูู ูุฏู ููู ุงูุณููู ูุงููุงุชู ููุงููุฃูุฑูุถู ููุนูุดููููุง ููุญูููู ุชูุธูููุฑูููู wa lahul-hamdu feessamaawaati wal-ardhi wa ashiyyaan wa heena tuzhhiroon I would like to know where in the world you got that translation from "the setting of the sun" when the Arabic says "ashiyyaa" which is "ishaa" ? Yes I followed AYA translation that rendered it late afternoon which I interpreted wrong as Asr when it is refering to the evening of the night whereas the translation you favored says "the setting of the sun" would be Maghrib as you indicated. It is Ishaa the Arabic is mentioning.
Intersting as you have now interjected "day" ie 24 hour period, whereas the verse makes no mention of "day" for you to determine what is meant by middle prayer in your case. Yes indeed the Islamic calendar of the next day starts after Maghrib or the fall of night. The Salawat is governed according to our daily lives not according to the calendar day as you have introduced. Our daily lives start at dawn when we wake from sleep and end at night when we go to sleep. Four prayers have been mentioned above, 3 you have mentioned and 1 we both made error on whereas there is one more to be the middle prayer among these making it five prayers altogether. |
