I ran across this list of things regarding Islamic prayer. Is this true?
MUHAMMAD: taught formalized prayer ritual: (quotes are from Bukhari, Vol. 1)
488 - passing in front of a praying person annuls his prayer
489 - it's a sin to pass in front of someone while they're praying
660 - don't raise from prayer before the Imam {Muslim cleric leading the formal, ritualized prayers), or God will turn your face into a donkey's face
685 - if the prayer rows (of men) aren't straight, God will alter your faces
690 - if the prayer rows aren't straight, the prayer is not good
717 - if you look up during prayer, you'll lose your eyesight
759 - if you don't perform the bowing perfectly, your prayers are not accepted

488: No, the person praying should not be distracted, the one passing should have more respect. It does not annuls the prayer.
489: It is not a sin, if done intentionally, God is the only one who knows what's in our thoughts and will punish those who are mocking people while praying.
660: All should follow the Imam, this way the prayer will be in uniformity. If you move as you please, it only means you do not want to be lead, then pray alone. No one will have a donkey's face.
685: Same as 660, all should follow the Imam, just out of respect, that is all, it does not alter the prayer.
690, 717, 759: Same as 660 and 685.
May I say, what a ridiculous thing to write (if its really written). When you pray, God knows wheather you mean it or just want to show others that you are a praying Muslim. No all of us pray. He is the only one to judge and reward.
If you have ever seen Muslims pray (on TV at least) in a large mosque, you will notice some raise their heads from the ground seconds after others. It is OK, no one ever lost a sight or became a donkey.

Assalamualaikum, it quite will depend on the man or woman and if they've robust ideals or now not. You might be a revert and now not be devout however be a born muslim and be devout or vise versa it quite does rely at the man or woman themself. Alot of the time as I am a born Muslim I do not most of the time research the faith up to reverts do as my dad and mom/loved ones/peers taught me alot while such a lot reverts do not need this so as a result they're going to ought to hit all devout books greater than the born muslims. Either method we're all one and climate your a revert or born muslim the foremost factor is that we think in Allah....

I have read that and also that women and dogs passing by ruin your prayer too. I will not quote from islam though.
The good news is that God doesn't say these things, regardless of what allah and Muhammad have said.
May God Bless you.

Seeing that most of the world who practice Islam don't even know how to read the Koran and are larger hypocrites than no, it is not true. Because people do it all the time

It's sounds like the military but more pointless.
