    The prayer ritual, of standing up, bending, crouching on all fours, turning left then right, is very different from other forms of prayer practised by Christian, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus etc.

    I was wondering where it derived from, it is too unique to think Muhammed invented it on his own.  Does anyone know? 

    I realise the names and timings of prayer are all derived from the Sabean faith, and was wondering if the actual ritual came from them too.  It would be quite a powerful argument to use against Muslims if they were to realise that their method of worhip (which they maintain as a perfect exercise brought upon by Allah) actually came from the very idol worhippers whom they scoff at!


    Even if we are able to come up with such an argument, muslim will as usual say "Islam has always existed in different forms, but we accept only what Mo did, because he was the last prophet".

    Religious Jews I’ve spoken to have told me they’ve never even heard of that salah–like ritual in the posted video — so I don’t know if it’s a later innovation.

    The letters, according to RA Nicholson and EH Palmer, are most likely the initials of people who were hoarding those particular transcripts of the qur’anic verses before its compilation as a fully canonical book.

    I've heard that not bowing down is actually later ritual. No source so don't take this as a fact.

    Even recital the Darud Sharif was not done by the Prophet, according to a Quranist. Makes me wonder why we need to constantly pray and bless a man who is perfect and is going to Jannatul Ferdous?

    maybe the islamic prayer was just a mix of pagan prayer and early hebrew ritual - abrahamic (pre jewish) prayer.  There were some early hebrew tribes in canaan who used to pray using a yogic method by creating shapes with their body,  and the pagans as we know bowed, prostrated to their gods in submission..  who knows

    Bowing and prostrating was something the pagan Arabs were already practicing. In fact, prostration as an act of worship or sign of submission was common among a lot of different religions and cultures especially in the Middle East. No wonder Mo adopted it to his own prayer, he just seems to have made it more ritualistic and OCD-ish.
