The Word "Solah" in the Quran - Al-Maeda

(1) O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favour to you, that ye may be grateful.
( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #6)

(2) Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my apostles, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."
( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #12)

(3) Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah, His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers,- those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship).
( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #55)

(4) When ye proclaim your call to prayer they take it (but) as mockery and sport; that is because they are a people without understanding.
( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #58)
