[quote]In my view the most important soora about salat is Soora Man (107) which I have tried to interpret as under:
"SMALL KINDNESSES ( Soora-e-Maoon, 107)

Have you seen that who belies deen (as it enjoins human welfare)?

That is he who repels the orphan (i.e. indigent).

And urges not the feeding of the needy.

Ah, woe unto worshipers (That is, ‘Musalleen’ who call themselves ‘Namazi’)

Who are heedless of the real objective of the Salaat (which is the culture of human welfare)

Whose purpose is to make a show of their worship (To impress people with their religiosity)

Yet refuse (avoid) small kindness (selfless human welfare which does not inflate their ego)"

One view is that the 'Musalleen' referred to above are pre-Islamic Mushrikeen who performed all the rituals which were later adopted and reformed by Islam.  Salaat is even today offered, perhaps with more regularity and 'khasooh and khashooh', by some of the sects which are considered to be non-Muslim by the mainstream.  The Mullah who practices Islam, as a profession like a lawyer practices the law, has corrupted salat to be called 'namaz' the 'reading?' of which behind him is 'farz?' (compulsory) for men only (some mullah even ban entry of women in their mosque).

I would welcome comments of the Muslim brethren who are interested in saving Islam from the Mullah who is corrupting Islam to serve his vested interest.[/quote]
