- Details of Instance of musallan in noun form meaning a place of salat prayer

- Details of Instances of musalleen in noun form meaning the establishers of salat prayer
[70:22] Except the establishers of salat prayer (illaa al-musalleena).
[74:43] They (deniers of a reminder of the Quran’s mathematical coding) have said, “We were not among the salat establishers (lam naku mina al-musalleena).”
[107:4] So, woe to the salat establishers (fa-waylun lil’musalleena).
The core messages from reviewing 25 instances of salat found in 23 verses of 15 surahs, 1 instance of musallan found in 1 verse of 1 surah and 3 instances of musalleen found in 3 verses of 3 surahs that successful are those who are humbles and guard their salat prayers; business or trade cannot distract believing men and women from remembering God and from establishing the salat prayer and from giving the zakat; whoever is in the heavens and the earth knows its way of salat prayers in glorification of God; two salat prayer times are mentioned by name; those who ascertain about the Hereafter establish the salat prayer and give the zakat; the salat prayer is greatest in remembering of God, which prevents from evil behavior and deed; no soul will bear sin of another soul, and those who fear their Lord establish the salat prayer and purify themselves; those who recite the scripture of God, establish the salat prayer and spend from their given provision may hope their commerce will never lose; those who respond to their Lord establish the salat prayer; those who believe hasten to attend the Friday congregation salat prayer in remembering of God, even leaving the business; a better reward with God for those who read the Quran in a portion of the night, establish the salat prayer, give the zakat and loan God a good loan; the people of scripture who claim them monotheists would establish the salat prayer being sincere in the religion and would give the zakat; the House of God is a place of return and the salat prayer; those who believe be consistent at their salat prayers and guard their salat prayers; woe to the establishers of salat prayer who are heedless from their salat prayers and the deniers of the salat prayers being among companions of the left on a day of Judgement, even having a reminder of a fact based confirmation for it.
Out of 99, 91 instances of sallaa, salat, musallan and musalleen all together found in 84 verses of 37 surahs in the Quran not only confirm the salat prayer being the greatest way of remembering God but also specify the salat prayer at 5 times a day mentioning 2 salat prayers by name: the Dawn salat prayer and the Night salat prayer including the Friday congregation salat prayer to establish it meeting the precise requirements. However, 5 instances of sallaa in verb form are interpreted to ‘to pray the funeral prayer’, ‘to help’ and ‘to advise’, while 3 instances of salat in noun form are interpreted to ‘help’, ‘advice’ and ‘synagogues’ to reflect the appropriate messages in the specific contexts, while the interpretation of any Arabic word based on the contexts helps us better understand the context specific message to avoid misinterpretation and misunderstanding. The salat prayer has come down to us from the past being prophet Ibrahim a father of Muslims, while the Quran given to prophet Muhammad restores the salat prayer is an opportunity for the believers to establish the salat prayer in a best way using the best words from a blessed scripture sent down confirming what was before of it, which was abandoned in the past, even is corrupted over a period of time reaching a high peak now, and it may be a turning point for a people of understanding to establish it in best way shedding light on it from the Quran avoiding as being practiced all over the world now.
Thus, the review of these instances may be a reminder for those who believe in God and the Last Day that the Satan cannot hinder them from the salat prayer acknowledging the confirmation from the Quran and they should establish the salat prayer being steadfast knowing for it specified times, which has come down to us from the past, seeking only pleasure of their Lord holding fast to God and His scripture to be admitted into His mercy as well as to be rewarded by Him when they will be gathered to Him being aware that a bearer of burden will not bear a burden of another, even a near kin on a day of Judgment.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
