[quote]Salam,

Please go through and read:

According to verse 3:81, the duty of the messenger of covenant was to confirm the existing scripture i.e. to confirm the Qur'an.

As a man he could do many things e.g. he might be said that the format of contact prayer is 24434 or so(I don't know whether he opined this or not). But we should remember if the Holy Qur'an does not support this format then we should never follow this, because we should follow only Qur'an and Qur'an says that the number of contact prayer is 3(three) and also there is no 'Raka' system.

In order to enable the messengers to accomplish their asigned mission, God blesses His messengers with wisdom and the knowledge of the scripture:

"(Blessings) such as the sending of a messenger from among you to recite our revelations to you, purify you, TEACH YOU THE SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM, and to teach you what you never knew."  2:151

"Our Lord, and raise among them a messenger to recite to them Your revelations, TEACH THEM THE SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM, and purify them. You are the Almighty, Most Wise."  2:129

"When Jesus went with the proofs, he said, "I BRING TO YOU WISDOM, and to clarify some of the matters in which you dispute. You shall reverence GOD and obey me." 43:63

Other verses speak of the same truth, how God endows His messengers with wisdom (Joseph 12:22), (Lot 21:74), (Moses 28:14), (David 38:20) ...... and so on.

However, the Quran also emphasises that His messengers are NOT infallible.  They are apt to do mistakes just like everyone else.  Many examples are given in the Quran for specific mistakes committed by various messengers and prophets.  We note that Muhammad is reprimanded in the Quran six times for mistakes he committed.  Mistakes for other messengers include Moses killing an innocent man, Jonah abandoning God's mission half way through its completion, Solomon forgetting his prayer, Joseph (when he was in prison) putting his trust and fate in the ruler's hand when he should have trusted that God is the Only One to decide his fate.

Perhaps, the principal reason we are told of these mistakes in the Quran is to establish the fact that God's messengers are human beings like all of us and that they should NOT be idolised.

"Say (O Muhammad), "I AM NO MORE THAN A HUMAN LIKE YOU, being inspired that your god is one god. Those who hope to meet their Lord shall work righteousness, and never worship any other god beside his Lord."  18:110

There is a news for you that Your peoples have updated the nos, of prayers from three to five.And Nos. of Rakah for five times prayers is also taken as 2,4,4,3,4
Have a look and reply please.

Introduction
 The contact prayer was given to the Prophet Abraham and passed on to us from generation to generation. 
 The prayer existed before Muhammad. Muhammad's sole mission was to deliver the Quran. 
 There is no dispute concerning the number of units in all five daily prayers. 
 The Quran's mathematical code confirms the number of units in the five prayers 2,4,4,3 and 4 respectively. 
 The Quran deals only with practices that were distorted, for example, the voice tone during the prayer.

1. The Dawn Prayer must be observed during two hours before sunrise [11:114], [24:58]. 
2. The Noon Prayer is due when the sun declines from its highest point at noon [17:78]. 
3. The Afternoon Prayer can be observed during the 3-4 hours preceding sunset [2:238]. 
4. The Sunset Prayer is due after sunset [11:114]. 
5. The Night Prayer can be observed after the twilight disappears from the sky [24:58]. 
The Friday noon congregational prayer is an obligatory duty of every Submitting man and woman [62:9]. Failure to observe the Friday Prayer is a gross offense.
