Salli/Salaat (ibadat aur shar'ee isthalahaat). page 931. Appendix 1/11.
* Salaat: literally means to give blessings/duas and to praise & give respect (مفا).
Salla means to offer prayers. The order to offer prayers is mentioned nearly 700 times in the Quran kareem; details are not mentioned. Only three prayers (Namaz) and their timings are mentioned in the Quran; during sunset, evening and morning. The middle prayers have been mentioned but not in clear terms as to which prayer it is. Prayers in congregation have been mentioned many times and for this the phrase "Iqaamatis Salaat" has been used. Purity and the farDs of Wudu have been mentioned and the pillars of Salat: Ruku, Qiyaam and Sajda are also mentioned. Raka'a literally means to bend but figuratively it means bending in a precise and known manner from the back during salaat which should point to humbleness and helplessness.
Raka'at comes from Raka'a which means that this is the most important part of Salat. Also this word has been used in the Quran for the total/whole Salat. Allah says: 2:43.
Sajada literally means humility and submission (مفا منجد) and everything in this world submits before Allah Taala. But in shara'ee parlance, it means to sit in a particular manner and to bow down by putting the forehead and nose on the earth. Like Ruku, Sajda is also an important part of Salat. Allah says: 48:29.
Apart from the time bound known prayers, Quran also mentions salaat Qasr (prayer of a wayfarer) and Salar ul khawf (prayer during war) and Namaz e Janaza and Namaze Tahajjud are also mentioned.
The word "Sala'at" comes in four meanings in the Quran:
1) The time bound prayers
2) Namaze e Janaza which has no Ruku or Sajda, only Qiyam. Allah says: 9:85.
3) In the meaning of Dua: Allah says: 9:103 and
4) and if it relates to Allah Taala, then it means to shower Rahmah. Allah says 33:56.
