I have a muslim roommate who needs to pray 5 times a day for his religion, i can understand that. He ensures me, a christian, that I should do this as well. I disagree with him because my religion does not teach this.
islam teaches that the God of the Koran is the same as the God of the Bible.
however the God of the Koran commands that muslims pray 5 times a day at certain times and recite a certain prayer
no where in the Bible does it say to pray 5 times a day, nor does it list certain times of day to pray.
My question is, if the God of the Koran is indeed the same as the God of the Bible, why did Allah introduce this praying technique only to Muhammad. My friend took a religions course and informed me that according to Islam, Muhammad was told by Moses that Allah wants man to pray to him 5 times a day. Why was it never introduced before if we are to pray that way?
