Q. The Five times salah (namaz) is obligatory
on the muslims was it also obligatory on other ummahs?
(S.A.Naviwala,Karachi)
A It is evident from the study of the Holy Quran and Sunnah that the
salah was also obligatory on all the previous prophets and their followers,
but there is not authentic record available to show exact form of prayer
enjoined upon different prophets. Similarly it cannot be said with certainty
as to how many times in day they were ordered to perform prayers. there
are some reports giving some details in this respect, but they are too
weak to be relied upon.
