The Prayer… Definition and Concept
Linguistically, the prayer means
invocation. If, in response, descends from Allah, the Almighty,
it is (mercy) and if it comes from the slaves of Allah, it is (a
demand for mercy) which has literally made "the prayer" a joint
word and thus it has got a dual meaning and more than one joint
word.
The meaning of the prayer linguistically, is more familiar in usage than the dua (invocation and mercy) that is to say: a comprehensive word as it has got to bear a dual concept. It has come to mean: (demand of affection, kindness, special care, also involving mercy, demanding mercy, state of forgiveness, supplication, invocation and dua".
The Prayer, has been transferred by the legal legislator from the linguistic meaning into the legal meaning.
The concept of the Prayer legally and linguistically
The concept of the prayer linguistically and legally has but one meaning but they differ in respect of verification from one another. The concept of the prayer in the speech of Jesus, in the holy Quran, son of Mary (P.B.U.T.) who is spoken about by saying: "And he recommended me to pray…." (Mariam:31) and the concept of the Prayer in Pre-Islamic time had been: "Their Salat (prayer) at the House of Allah, i.e. the Ka'ba at Makkah) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands. Therefore, taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve".
(Al-Anfal:35) The Almighty also asserted that when He said: "Verily, Allah and His Angels pray for the Prophet. (P.B.U.H.) (Al-Ahzab: 56) and when the Almighty, said: "And pray not on any of them when he dies at all." (At-Taubah:84).
and many other quotes of the kind of the words which denote the prayer with regard of the full and entire concept of the Prayer which are as we mentioned them before: compassion, special attention, but only differ in verification.
Building on the foregoing, the prayer which is one of the legally-specified aspects is one of the verifications of this comprehensive concept as though the legislator wanted for this concept to stand as a verified worshipping act together with all of its stipulations.
