Fallacy of prayers in Islam The five times of prayer are neither voluntary nor spirit-guided: they are a duty, an obligation and a law. The times are set and the liturgy is fixed. Every Muslim must submit to the requirements of the Shari’a. Their exact observance, it is said, can save one from Allah’s judgment. Islam is a religion under the law and is not founded on the grace of a Savior (Suras al-Ma’ida 5:9; al-Hadjdj 22:50; al-‘Ankabut 29:7; al-Ahzab 33:35; etc.).Herein lies the great mistake of Islam. As the ritual ablutions before the times of prayer can only purify the skin and not the heart, so prayer in Islam does not produce a full salvation. The Muslim has not realized his own depravity because he does not know the holy God of love. He gropes in the mist because he does not walk in the light of the Bible. He imagines that he is good enough to save himself from Allah’s judgment. He does not know that he is born in corruption and that all that he does is tainted with sin (Genesis 6:5; 8:21; Psalm 51:5). He rejects his Savior Jesus Christ and refuses the salvation, built on the free grace of the Father, which has been prepared for him. The Muslim cannot understand the praise of the apostle Paul who wrote the following hymn: Praise be to God,the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heaven through Christ.(Ephesians 1:3) When was the last time allah answered your prayers, the five mechanical prayers?
