Quran, Hadith, and Islam
All religious practices of Islam, namely Salat, Zakat, fasting, and Hajj, came from Abraham generation after generation, while Muhammad contributed the Quran.“The Quran teaches that ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN ISLAM (Salat, Zakat, Fasting & Hajj) CAME TO US FROM ABRAHAM, GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.”“Thus, Islam in its final form, as is practiced today, is based on two things: (1) QURAN: contributed through Muhammad, and (2) RELIGIOUS PRACTICES: through Abraham.”“Quran teaches that God taught Abraham how to do Salat, Zakat, Fasting, & Hajj, then Abraham taught these practices to his children, and so on generation after generation.”

Arabian society before Muhammad, including his idolatrous opponents, observed the five daily Salat prayers as we do, except for using the Ibrahimy Faatihha instead of the Quranic one.“Thus, Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl, and the idolaters of Quraish used to observe the FIVE DAILY SALAT PRAYERS exactly as we do today, with the single exception of substituting the Quranic Faatihha for the Ibrahimy Faatihha.”

Fasting was practiced before Muhammad through Abraham, when intercourse was forbidden all Ramadan day and night, and the Quran then permitted it during the nights.“This verse, therefore, clearly informs us that fasting was practiced before Muhammad according to the religion of Abraham (Islam).”“When fasting as initially ordained through Abraham, sexual intercourse was prohibited throughout the fasting month of Ramadan, day and night.”

Prophets before Abraham were given no religious practices, as only belief in God alone was required for salvation in that primitive society.“The prophets and messengers prior to Abraham were not given any religious practices. The human society was so primitive, only BELIEF IN GOD ALONE was all that is required for salvation.”

The four sacred months were observed before Muhammad, further proving that Islam's religious practices were not initiated by him.“The four sacred months in Islam were observed before the time of Muhammad. This further proves that all religious practices of Islam were neither initiated, nor taught by the Prophet Muhammad; his sole mission was to deliver Quran.”
