Is this ok?

I think you need to remove the pbuh every time you say mohammid (or however you spell it) as this is an encyclopaedia-like entry, not a muslim text.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information, but I did notice that there are a _lot_ of spelling mistakes (pillers/pillars, entrys/entries, compulsenery/compulsory, etc.)

Looks well structured though, although I'd remove the 'Introduction' heading after being advised to remove my initial heading in A2112238.

Not sure what the purpose of this entry would be. Why would a non-Muslims want to know all this unnecessary detail? This sounds like a therapeutic posting on the lines of Justin The Preacher, and I don't personally think the Guide is the forum for preaching.

I have to say that it does seem a bit like a cathartic exercise. Surely a lot of it could me summarised without quoting the litany in such detail?
Also, I've said this before: the rigid use of (pbuh) seems like some kind of stylistic tic. I know you feel you have to say it as it asserts *before other Muslims* your credibility as a believer (and good luck to you), but it gets in the way of your message. I assume you will be writing for non-Muslims, who don't feel they have to say (pbuh) after referring to Mohammed.

Another point I want to make is the relevance of 'context' here. I feel it would be much more informative if greater attention were given to how it fits into the belief system of Islam. Don't forget, there are a very large proportion of lay people here, who don't necessarily believe in anything but who nevertheless find the social aspects of religion interesting.

exactly
this is like someone posting of the Common Prayer Book
this isn't a site for saying this is what I believe
the author's name gives warning what sort of post it is going to be
I sincerely hope that in this form this entry does not enter the guide

Sorry but actually its not the complete way of doing prayer.

Don't worry I will change it to a different view point.

I'll make it about wht Muslim's prayer rather than how they actually do it.

No offence was ment, sorry.

I ment why Muslims pray rather than how.

Sorry I type to fast and I'm no good with my English grammer and spelling. honest
