–Mawlana Jalaluddin RumiRaising Salaat or as it should be pronounced in Arabee, As Salaat has come to be known as prayer over the past fourteen centuries since the time of Muhammad the Prophet, although it’s literal meaning is flame. In the Holy writ of Islaam called Al-Qur’aan, Allaah instructs “Alif Laam Meem (these are mystical letters that I will explain at a later time), that kitab (book) has no doubt in it. It is guidance for the ones that are Allaah-conscious. Those who believe in the unseen (exoteric or metaphysical) and raise up Al Salaat and from what we have provided them they spendâ€. –Holy Qur’aan Surah 2 ayah 1-3.
The movements of the body used today in Islaamic prayer (Salaat) are called Rakats (Postures). These postures were given to human kind by Ibraheem the Prophet. The main purpose of these postures is truly unified, and that is to relax the spinal column and open the sacred pathway (called in the ancient Khamitic language, the Djed). The Djed is the sacred pathway that runs from the base of the spinal Colum between the anus and the genitals (the perineum) to the top of the head (the crown or 7th Chakra in Sanskrit or crown Latif in Arabee) so that the Salaat energy can travel up the Djed. The movements also serve an external practice to bring increased blood flow to the brain which helps to raise the consciousness to higher levels as well as nourishment the brain.
These five daily conections to the Salaat force are the main meals for our souls. While a soul may attain some growth and development by leading a righteous life, however without observing this conection, this would be like surviving on snacks without regular meals.
We learn from Suurah 2:37 that we can establish contact with Allaah by uttering the specific Arabee words given to us by Allaah.
Suurah 1, Al Fateehah is the key, it a mathematically composed combination of all the sounds of Arabee that unlocks the door between us and our creator:
1. Fajr must be observed during two hours before sunrise (11:114, 24:58).
2. Zuhr is due when the sun declines from its highest point at noon (17:78).
3. Asr can be observed during the 3-4 hours preceding sunset (2:238).
4. Magrib becomes due after sunset (11:114).
5. Isha can be observed after the twilight disappears from the sky (24:58).* "The Friday (Al Jummah) noon congregational gathering for the raising of Salaat is an obligatory duty upon every Muslim man and woman "(62:9). Failure to observe the Friday gathering is a gross offense.Each Salaat period is valid if observed anytime during the period it becomes due until the next period becomes due. Once missed, a given conection period is a missed it is an opportunity that cannot be made up; one can only repent and ask forgiveness. The five conection periods consist of 2, 4, 4,3, and 4 units (Rak'ahs), respectively.
