معراج میں نماز کی فرضیت
Brother Hassan Izhar, thanks for your detailed reply. You have written somewhere in your post that Quran mentions two prayers Fajr (Dawn) and Isha(end of the day) while somewhere you wrote that Quran mentions Fajr(Dawn) and Asr(Evening) prayers and somewhere you have also mentioned Maghrib(Dusk). Please tell me briefly that how many compulsory prayers the Quran mentions in the day and night, thank you. I am more interested to know the views of respected Javed Ghamdi sb in the subject above.
Every prophet was taught to pray 5 times a day. There is no reason to think that Prophet PBUH was not praying according to how Hazrat Jibrael taught him according to the Hadith I linked since early times of his prophethood. Qur’an also does not alter the number of prayers which means whatever number and timing the Prophet PBUH and the Muslims followed was correct and did not need any alteration. There is also a video though I can’t find it where Ghamidi Sahab was talking about the first revelation (the series I think) and Prophet PBUH activities in early Makkah where the first thing he and his relatives that accepted Islam did was establish the regular prayers. I don’t remember the details of number and timing but it could have been five times or maybe less if Allah did not wanted Prophet PBUH to publicize religion and reduce the time he would leave his people and uncle’s side to pray to avoid any suspicion. However I don’t think exact details were given in the tradition. Anyone who suggest it was only two times instead of five needs to provide evidence that we can analyze otherwise the default view (that all prophets prayed 5 fives times all the time including early Makkah) will be held as Ghamidi Sahab said in the video.
