Prayer history in Islam - Jawad Ali

If you asked any Muslim about his prayer: how it was made obligatory upon him? His answer mostly would be: I don't know, God made it obligatory upon us, and that's enough. And if you asked the Jew or the Christian this question, their answer would also be: he prays because he found his ancestors praying, so he prays with their prayers, and he learned it from them. I have tried in these pages to present a research on the history of prayer in Islam, showing when it was made obligatory, and how it developed, so that the reader can understand the origin of a worship that is one of the pillars of Islam.
