Dear Joseph i agree with your view "So whereas you say "So in shortening salat one may omit the pillars of salat such as standing bowing prostrating", this is not entirely correct. If the situation is so grave that on assessment, this becomes necessary, then it can be argued as possible. Otherwise, one must not simply be tempted to abandon prostrations or bowing at whim. There may indeed be situations where some form of bowing or prostration may be perfectly possible, however shortened. " But as i am new to the quran's concepts over tradionalist information relied upon secondary sources i face some dilemmas or contradictions in my mind. Such as you say shortening rakats ("If one can pray with normal form, but with shortened rakats") but then i understand that no number of rakats are forced on a believer so one believer can even pray in one rakat including all necessary form which is stated in quran such as standing bowing prostrating and uttering prays conforming to specific timeline for establishing regular prayers. i feel i am missing something i am just trying to comprehend if one rakat can be enough to do our duty to God then on journeying if one can accomplish one rakat including standing bowing prostrating remembering uttering prayers to God then in that case there is no situation of shortening prayer. So shortening prayer may mean that one cannot even run the task of one rakat with complete pillars of salat in a situation of fear or danger. I am sorry if misundertood or couldnt explain my point. Thanks for bearing up.
