Semantical Analysis of the Word Salah in the Holy Quran as Commented by Allameh Tabataba`i and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli

All commentators have known all Qur'anic cases of the word salih as referring to salah in practice and viewed one doing any deed of salah as salih. Some commentators, however, regarding some Quranic cases of salih that describes prophets as salih as well as the demand of some prophet of God to put them among salihan, have known salih as being a particular position, that is essential salah not being available for those only of salih deed. Allameh Tabatabai and Ayatollah Javadi Ameli are among these. This descriptive-analytical research, by examining the above point of view, has made it a solid and firm view and preferred to the public view of commentators. Therefore, the Qur'an does not refer to anyone who does a righteous deed as a righteous person, but in many verses of the holy Qur'an is a special status and attribute of a person whose essence is qualified with salah.
