Another contentious issue for the submitters has been the salaah (or what they call the “Contact Prayers”) and how it has reached us without relying upon hadith given the fact that the Quran does not tell us how to perform the salaah.  In Addendum A it states, “One of the common challenges … is: “If the Quran is complete and detailed, where are the details of the Contact Prayers (Salat)?” (p.712)  In their total refusal to use any hadith whatsoever on this matter they claim that the prayers were given to us from Abraham (peace be upon him) (p.660 & 712), although we are not told how this has reached us.  No Quranic or historical references are given.

21. In the matter of the number of rak’ah (units) of prayer for each salaah they have used complex and mind-boggling mathematics to come up with the number of rak’ah (units) of prayer which “miraculously” matches the number that we are currently performing for each prayer – all of this of course relates to the number 19.  It seems that the answer came before the formula and calculations, and not the other way round as it was not until 1989 that they finally cracked the “code” of the number of rak’ah!  As Appendix 9 states, “There is no dispute concerning the number of rak’ahs in all five daily prayers” (p.655), this statement was made well before cracking the “code” of the number of rak’ah as presented in Addendum A.  The same methodology is used to explain the number of prostrations (sujood), bowings (ruku), sittings (tashahud) and rak’ah (units) for each prayer. However, nowhere are we told how perform prostrations (sujood), bowings (ruku), and sittings (tashahud)?  We are also not told what needs to be recited in the prayer apart from Surah al-Fatiha.  What do submitters recite in their prostrations (sujood), bowings (ruku), and sittings (tashahud) as this is not mentioned in the Quran?[/blue][/font=Verdana]
