WHY DOES A ONE GOD REQUIRES 5 PRAYERS A DAY AND NOT THE ONE? WHY MUSLIMS PRAY 5 TIMES A DAY & NOT THE ONCE ONLY? First Muhammad said you must pray 500 times a day to totally brainwash the Muslim people, but then he realised that NO Muslim will ever pray 500 times a day, as it was not a realistic politics and his gimmick failed and as, Prophet Muhammad did not know exactly when was the correct time for the prayer, and because he did not talk to GOD at all, so he made up 5 guesses [1] Once before the Sun rise [2] Second After Sun the rise [3] Third mid-day in the afternoon [4] Fourth Just before the Sun set and finally [5] Fifth After the Sun set, that covers all the possibilities, so this has proved that Prophet Muhammad did not know, exactly when to pray to THE ONE GOD and it was his wishful thinking that one of his guess might coincide with the fingers cross. Muslims do their prayers pronouncing loudly, even using loud speakers but still, they failed to realise that sound cannot travel through vacuum in the sky to the heavens, so pronouncing loudly was a another gimmick that science does not support, so Muslim prayers can’t be heard in the heavens by GOD, because sound requires a medium to travel in, so praying loudly even using loud speakers is false gimmick method of communication to god scientifically. Now, if I was to tell them to Pray using a Mobile phone to communicate than they will call me a NEW PROPHET, which I am NOT! Because I don’t have GODS telephone number! This mobile phone was not described in the Quran, because all-knowing did not know about modern technology. Otherwise all females would be banned from using mobile phones to talk to their boyfriends, even sexier than face mask, as Aisha says, on the mobile phone to me, “I love you so much, will you be my next husband for the night?”, How can I refuse, such a certain proposal that is certainly more promising than an ambiguous eye wink through the Burka?
