For Dr. Fahad: and the good doctor is in the house, prayer and prophets part deux

So my dear doctor you are correct in saying that the Islamic tradition tells us that your Allah sent 120,000 prophets. Do you have such list? (for the readers; such list of prophets is only a little Muslim nonsense as it does not exist) but I will give you the benefit of the doubt:

1. Would you find the name of Gura Nanak in such list.

2.Would you find the name of Joseph Smith (the prophet of the Mormons) in such list?

Then you wrote: "This (prayer 5 times per day) was ordered by Allah there is no question regarding this"

No there is a question here my dear doctor: "did it ever cross your mind why do you have to pray to Allah? and why would your Allah ask you to pray 5 times per day? Do you think that your Allah is needy? And if so why would you or I pray to a needy deity? Food for thought.
