- 421: A Comparison of Islam and Christianity
- ... power of Allah. It is He who has created and will one day judge mankind. The faithful are called upon to believe in Allah and to listen to His Prophet. Islam recognizes two forms of prayer. One is the personal, devotional, and spontaneous type, not bound by any rituals or formulas. The other is ritual, often congregational, prayer, with specific words and postures, to be offered five times a day: at sunrise, midday, midafternoon, sunset, and before going to bed.

Next, lets examine the Muslim life through prayer, fasting, and other lifestyles they have. The Shahoda is a creed in which Muslims make a verbal commitment and pledge that there is only One God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God (“How ... of holy persons, temples, and places, near or far (“How to. . . A Summary” 2). Muslims pray daily at dawn, at noon, in the afternoon, in the evening, and at nightfall. A crier or muezzin announces prayer time from the minaret or mosque tower.

The targets are not necessarily towards formal authority, such as the police, but also informal authorities such as social morals; for example, the principle of a school.
