No!! They say that there is only one God and they do not know how he looks like and that Gods messenger is Muhammed. Most of the world is muslim. If you study Islam you might want to be its follower.

Answer BMuslims worship one and only one God; the Creator.

Unfortunately, some non-Muslims believe that Muslims worship different god than god of Christians or Jews. Those non Muslims are either:

  • having no understanding of Islam religion, or

  • influenced by non Muslims who intentionally propagate wrong information about Islam.

Those non Muslims, mistakenly, believe that Allah is an "Arab god" or a "moon god," or some sort of idol.

It is important to clarify that Muslims worship the same God, the Creator, worshiped by other Heaven religions; Judaism and Christianity. This same God is named in Arabic as Allah. Allah is the proper name of the One True God, in the Arabic language.

Even the Arabic speaking Christians and Jews use the name Allah in their Arabic holy books and worship Allah.

Accordingly, it is a matter of different languages that cause different names for the same God; the Creator, the All-Mighty, and the All-Merciful ;and not a matter of different God worship.

Praise be to Allaah.

When Muslims pray, they face the direction of the Ka'bah.

1- When you stand up to pray, face the direction of the Ka'bah wherever you are, in both fard (obligatory) and naafil (supererogatory) prayers. This is one of the pillars of prayer, without which prayer is not valid.

2- The obligation of facing the direction of prayer does not apply to one who is engaged in warfare, when he prays the fear prayer (salaat al-khawf) or is engaged in heavy fighting. It also does not apply to those who are unable to do it, such as one who is sick, or one who is traveling on a ship, in a car or on a plane, if they fear that the time of the prayer will elapse (before they reach a place where they can find the correct direction). And it does not apply to one who is praying a naafil prayer or Witr prayer whilst riding on a riding-animal etc., but it is mustahabb for him to face the qiblah if he is able to do so when pronouncing the takbeer of ihraam (at the beginning of the prayer), then he may face whatever direction he is facing.

3- Everyone who can see the Ka'bah must face it; those who cannot see it must face its direction.

Ruling on not facing the Ka'bah in prayer by mistake:

4- If a person prays not facing the qiblah, because of clouds [preventing him from working out the direction from the position of the sun] or some other reason, after he did his best to work out the right direction, his prayer is valid and he does not have to repeat it.

5- If someone whom he trusts comes - whilst he is praying - and tells him of the right direction, then he must hasten to turn that way, and his prayer is valid.

What did Islam use to pray?

First of all, Muslims have some duties to do toward God, worshiping Him everyday is what Muslims do, Muslims pray 5 times a day, 1 prayer at the dawn time and one prayer at noonday, and another one is called Asr prayer which comes after noonday prayer in few hours, and one prayer when the sun goes down ( sunset ) and the final one is after the sunset prayer in few hours. P.S: Muslims pray to their God, worshiping only Him, they don\'t worship the sun or moon or anything else, only God, and please know that prayers usually don\'t take more than 5 minutes each, which Muslims believe it\'s a very short time to worship God so Muslims do other prayers that Muhammad used to pray, so they can get closer to God, but any other prayer else the 5 prayers in the beginning is considered optional :)

How does daylight savings effect Muslim prayer times?

Daylight saving time can impact Muslim prayer times by shifting the timing of sunrise and sunset, which in turn affects the timing of the five daily prayers. Muslims may need to adjust their prayer schedules during daylight saving time to ensure they are performing their prayers at the correct times as prescribed in Islam.


How many days on the sun equals how much time on earth?

There's really no way to talk about "days" on the sun. The 'day' is always considered to be a full cycle of light and dark ... light when you face toward the sun, dark when you face away from it. Since it's always light on the sun (to put it mildly), there's no dark, there's no cycle, and there's nothing happening that can be a called a 'day'.
