If SALAT means NAMAZ or any standing bowing and prostrating then how do you explain this verse:

They said, "O Shu‘ayb, does your SALAT command you that we should leave what our fathers worship or not do with our wealth what we please? Indeed, you are the forbearing, the discerning!" [Quran, 11:87]


What happens if you insert "divine guidance" instead?

Something is commanding them to leave what their fathers worshiped and to not do with their wealth as they please? could it be anything else than God's Guidance?You should leave your hadith and follow only God's Guidance. The translators use hadith to explain the verses from Quran.

You can probably find some tasfee to explain deeper into disobedience for you.. or you can stop right now and start using your logic. Islam is not a religion full of rituals, it is an ideology filled with guidance, and if we follow such a guidance, we will be successful.

Who's Practice (Sunnah) Are We To Follow?

This is Our Practice with the messengers We sent before you and you will find no change in Our Practice. [Quran, 17:77]

[Due to] arrogance in the land and plotting of evil; but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Then do they await except the way of the former peoples? But you will never find in the Practice of God any change, and you will never find in the Practice of God any alteration. [Quran, 35:43]

But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. The established Practice of God which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost. [Quran, 40:85]

Such is God's Practice throughout the past, and you will find that God's Practice is never changeable. [Quran, 48:23]


We are to follow the only practice written in The Quran which is God's Practice!

To Those Who Say That The Quran Does Not Explain Everything And That We Need Other Books To Explain It

"Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this Book FULLY DETAILED? Those who received the Scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt."
[Quran, 6:114]

“The words of your Lord are COMPLETE IN ITS TRUTH AND JUSTICE. Nothing can change His words – He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the path of God. They follow nothing but speculation – they are merely guessing.” [Quran, 6:115-116]

"And We have revealed the Book to you which has the clear EXPLANATION OF EVERYTHING, and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit." [Quran, 16:89]

God has revealed herein THE BEST HADITH; a Book that is CONSISTENT, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for God's message. Such is God's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills. As for those sent astray by God, nothing can guide them. [Quran, 39:23]

These are God's revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which HADITH OTHER THAN GOD's and His revelations do they believe? [Quran, 45:6]


DO NOT FOLLOW OTHER BOOKS:
"Should We treat the ones who have surrendered the same as those who are criminals? What is wrong with you, how do you judge? Or do you have DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER BOOK WHICH YOU STUDY? In it you find whatever you wish to find?" [Quran, 68:36-38]


THE PROPHET'S MISSION WAS TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE:
“This Book has been sent down to you (Prophet) – let there be no anxiety in your heart about it – so that you may use it to give warning and to remind the believers: ‘Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord! Do not follow other masters beside Him. How seldom you take heed!’ ” [Quran, 7:2]

The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver the message: God knows what you reveal and what you conceal.” [Quran, 5:99]

A revelation from the Lord of the worlds. Had he (Mohammad) uttered any other teachings. We would have punished him. We would have stopped the revelations to him. None of you could have helped him.
[Quran, 69:43-47]

It is not for a human that God should give him the Scripture and authority and prophet-hood and then he would say to the people, "Be servants to me rather than God," but, "Be pious scholars of the Lord alone because of what you have taught of the Scripture and because of what you have studied." [Quran, 3:79]

"And the Messenger is going to say, 'My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran' " [Quran, 25:30]

Modesty And Flirting


Facts About Modesty
Modesty may be expressed in social interaction by communicating in a way exhibiting humility, shyness, or simplicity. The general elements of modesty include:
  • Downplaying one's accomplishments Modesty
  • Behavior, manner, or appearance intended to avoid impropriety or indecency
  • Avoiding insincere self-abasement through false or sham modesty, which is a form of boasting. 
A second expression of modesty, isolated from communication and human interface, focuses more on internal perception of superiority and may be expressed in the following ways:
  • through work ethic,
  • motivation for self improvement,
  • and tolerance of others.

Facts About Flirting:

Flirting is a playful, romantic or sexual overture by one person to another subtly indicating an interest in a deeper relationship with the other person, and can involve verbal communication as well as body language.
 

Body language can include flicking the hair, eye contact, brief touching, open stances, proximity etc. Verbal communication of interest can include the vocal tone, such as pace, volume, intonation. Challenges (teasing, questions, qualifying, feigned disinterest) serve to increase tension, test intention and congruity.
Flirting usually involves speaking and behaving in a way that suggests a mildly greater intimacy than the actual relationship between the parties would justify, though within the rules of social etiquette, which generally disapproves of a direct expression of sexual interest. This may be accomplished by communicating a sense of playfulness or irony. Double entendres, with one meaning more formally appropriate and another more suggestive, may be used.

What Quran says:
And do not go near extramarital sex. Indeed, it is an immorality and an evil way. [Quran, 17:32]

Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him? [Quran, 25:43]

O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to cover your shame and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of God that perhaps they will remember. [Quran, 7:26]

"Say to the believing men they should lower their gaze and they should guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Indeed God is All-Aware of what they do." [Quran, 24:30]

And say to the believing woman that they should lower their gaze and that they should guard their chastity, and not display their adornment except what is apparent of it. And let them cast their clothes over their cleavage. Let them not show off their attraction except to their husbands, or their fathers, or fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or their children that come after them, or those who are still their dependents, or the male servants who are without need, or the child who has not yet understood the nakedness of women. Let them not strike with their feet in a manner that reveals what they are keeping hidden of their attraction. And repent to God, all of you believers, that you may succeed. [Quran, 24:31]

Indeed, those who have put into fatanoo the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. [Quran, 85:10]

The Arabic words fatanoo (فتنوا) is derived from the root word fitnah (فتنة), which literally means temptation, or putting someone to the test.

Conclusion:
O you who believe, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of God upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but God purifies whom He wills, and God is Hearing and Knowing. [Quran, 24:25]

Verify Everything!

And do not pursue what you have no knowledge about. Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart, all those will be questioned.
[Quran, 17:36]

So high above all is God the True King. And (Muhammad) do not hasten with the Quran before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, Increase me in knowledge." [Quran, 20:114]

And among people and moving creatures and the cattle are various colors likewise. Only those fear God, from among His servants who have knowledge. Indeed, God is Exalted in Might and Forgiving. [Quran, 35:28]

O you who believe, if there comes to you a wicked person with information, investigate, lest you harm people out of ignorance and become regretful over what you have done. [Quran, 49:6]

O you who believe! When it is said to you in the assemblies, "Make room," then make room, God will make room for you. And when it is said "Rise up," then rise up. God will raise those who believe among you and those who were given knowledge, in degrees. And God is All-Aware of what you do. [Quran, 58:11]
