Which prophet? Ooops... islam has only one prophet. So every moslem knows who you're referring to when you say 'prophet'.
Well you can follow Jesus in the way he prayed.
Or Moses. Or Abraham. Or many other prophets in the bible.
They prayed with their foreheads on the ground.
Why are you not doing praying like your prophets?
But you're not living in the same village as your 'prophet'. How to follow unless you have exact instructions in your various qurans?
That's why the Quran says to follow the examples of the prophet. The witness to these examples, wrote and memorised and transmitted it to the next generations.
That is called the Sunnah. In written form, compiled is called the Hadiths. The details in the hadiths are amazingly precise.
Something that you Christians have nothing to compare. You don't even have an instruction on how to pray!
It actually, when your mohammedan religion has 3 different scripture books to follow - qurans, hadiths, sunnah. And we haven't included fatwas.
Correction again. Quran is the ultimate guide. Nothing supercedes it. Nothing can contradict it.
Sunnah means what the prophet taught and did explaining how the verses and injunctions in the Quran is to be like.
Hadiths are the written records of the Sunnah of the prophet. So Hadith and Sunnah are practically one and the same.
Fatwa are jurisprudential opinions on new issues eg, organ donation and other modern day things like crypto etc. Fatwas are issued after researched by a council of learned men trawling through the Quran and Hadiths. As such it may have errors as it is human opinion after all.
Normally fatwas are as long as Phd thesis with quotations taken and explained thouroughly. Anyone can read those fatwas and can agree or disagree.
No wonder you need islamic 'scholars' to give you permission to do everything including breathing and farting.
Wrong again. The scholars can give their fatwas and it is up to the ummah to follow which is more sensible and convincing with the evidence.
