As’salamo Alaikum:
I only read few lines from the article. I noticed that the writer chose to ignore Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) during calling for prayer (Adhan).
Allah raised some of His Prophets in degree.
(2:253) Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree.
For Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), Allah honored him to be mentioned everywhere i.e. when we call for prayer, with testimony (Shahadatian), in our 5 daily prayers, in takbeer Eid, and so on.
(94:4) And raised high for you your repute
I also noticed that he mentioned that there are only 3 daily prayers, Dawn prayer (2 rak’ahs), Middle prayer (2 rak’ahs) and Sunset prayer (2 rak’ahs).
As we know, all Muslims around the globe pray 5 daily prayers including other sects like Shiaa’, etc.
• 2 in morning (Fajr), 4 at noon (Zhohr), 4 at afternoon (Aser), 3 at evening (Maghrib), and 4 at after evening (Isha’a). The total of the 5 daily prayers is 2 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 17 rak’ahs.
• In Quran, establish prayer is mentioned 17 times,
(أَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ): (2:43; 2:83; 2:110; 24:56; 30:31; 73:20; 4:77; 10:87; 4:103; 22:78; 58:13; 6:72),
(أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ): (11:114; 17:78; 29:45; 31:17), and (أَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ): (33:33)
• In Quran, “Bow down” is mentioned 3 times (ارْكَعُوا): (2:43; 22:77) and (ارْكَعِي): (3:43); and “Prostrate” is mentioned 6 times (اسْجُدُوا): (22:77; 41:37; 53:62), (اسْجُدْ): (76:26; 96:19) and (اسْجُدِي): (3:43). Since the number of Prostration is twice the number of bowing down, we bow down once and prostrate twice in every rak’ah.
Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger (pbuh) said: Indeed Allah will not gather my Ummah (or he said: Muhammad’s Ummah) upon deviation, and Allah’s Hand is over the Jama’ah (group), and whoever deviates, he deviates to the Fire.
I don't know what else he said in the article because I didn't read all of it.
This is my understanding. If you know other things, please share it with us.
