Islamic Duties / Re: Quranic way of praying? Is it reading the Quran? 17:78?

So if sujood and rukuh don't mean the physical act of bowing or prostrating, which arabic words do?
The Christians do kneel and bow plus the traditional Jewish prayer is very similar to the way the Muslim do.
The physical act of praying seems to bother so many quranists that they are changing the meaning of keys words and what we have in it's place doesn't 'fit' very well in my opinion.
So standing up in front of your Creator and physically bowing to Him to show your submission is beneath you?
There is not such a thing in the Bible as a daily prayer which evolves physical bowing and kneeling. You should read the Bible from cover to cover.
We are actually returning to the original meaning of the words and the Quran. Go do a word for word study yourself.. you will find out roekoeh and soejoed mean to yield and submit.
God asked the Angels to submit to Adam. Soejoed is used here. Or do you think God asked the Angels to fall down on their foreheads to Adam, and do you think the Angels were following the writings of bukhari & co?
There is not even such a thing as falling down on your forehead in the Quran, there is only the falling down on their chins, which symbolizes how they reject their ego and pride and submit to the Truth.
Etc.
We yield and submit to what God told us. Bowing and kneeling is a pagan thing.
Administrator Joseph A Islam already expressed the reason behind the prostration of angles before Adam(pbuh). Please read,
.................... The ‘Malaika’ (angels) enquired as to why God was to create a vicegerent (Khalifa) on the Earth that would create mischief and cause much bloodshed (2:30). God explained this through a process of making the truth absolutely clear to them. He presented evidence of His wisdom by using Adam (pbuh) as an example and the knowledge that He taught him (2:31 and 2:33). The 'Malaika' (angels) accepted the argument and proclaimed God's perfection in knowledge and wisdom (2:32)
After this, the order to prostate was given which the 'Malaika' (angels) accepted (2:34)
It was only after the truth was first manifested by God and after which the 'Malaika' had no reason to deny it, they accepted that only God knew best and prostrated upon order. It is interesting to note that God did not instruct the 'Malaika' to prostrate without 'first' making the truth absolutely clear to them as to what He was about to do and to demonstrate the reason why..............
