salahwhatever, i only accept the hadith, oral history and history that agrees with the qur'an... when it comes to faith. when it comes to otherwise, i only rely on scientific reason. i toss a hadith when it contradicts the qur'an.
there is a large historical facts of how muhammad and his peers prayed. and some of them are found with the unexpected. the good thing about islam is that it came to a world of critics. however unfairly questioned, many non-muslims who ridiculed our faith ended up preserving our history
fagashboy, wtf is wrong with you? where at all does it say that the jews and christians are going to hell? in fact, in the following, we are told many christians and jews are good people (which just reflects the world at large.) see:
"Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it. Nay.- Those that keep their plighted faith and act aright,-verily Allah loves those who act aright." (al-imran, 3:75-76)
now that we established they have good people, god also conforms that among them are believers in god;
"And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book, those who believe in Allah, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to Allah. They will not sell the Signs of Allah for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account. " (al-imran, 3:199)
