[quote]Assalam Alaykum,
I have gone through the posts on this forum. This discussion seems to be close but if possible I would like Brother Samsher to answer these questions for my understanding:
1) According to you three prayers are mentioned in Quran and offering five prayers a day is man-made. So the question is when and where did Muslims start praying five times a day? I mean according to your concept Prophet Muhammad should have been offering 3 prayers a day according to Quran. But then suddenly all muslims started praying 5 times a day? Why no one objected to this? And why we have come to know of this after 1400 years? Before this there was no muslim following the correct path for 1400 years until Rashad Khalifa found the code?
2) You said that every thing is mentioned in Quran itself. We do not need any other knowledge to follow religion. Why did RK use his knowledge of maths and computers to derive and change the Quran known to Muslims for 1400 years. I know the answer is that Maths is a common science. Everyone agrees to mathematical laws. But external knowledge was needed to understand Quran. But then transfer of Sunnah practices also got transferred to us from generation to generation. And every muslim (no matter what sect) agrees to them. So why can not knowledge of these known practices be used to follow religion? And after looking at submission.org it is clear that Rashad Khalifa himself believes in the Tawatur.  
I personally think Quran is complete in giving us the right path. But to follow the right path we need a leader and instructor. e.g. a complete map tells you the correct way but does not tell you what speed to maintain and how to control the car etc. And to follow the map you need a guide who knows the way best. For me it is Prophet Muhammad and for you it is RK.
