Obligatory Prayers : 3 or 5 ?

Re: Wuzu (Wudu - whatever)

Why is it a leap to say that the Quran is "complete"? "Completeness" depends on the judgement criterion this isnt computational logic. So lets hear on what grounds you are judging completeness or perfectness. As for Muslims only following the word of God, the Quran itself says the Prophet does not speak of his own whim, except for what directions he recieves. Therefore anything that is a part of the religion based on the Prophet's teachings is, according the the Quran, from God. As for Muhammad superceding the Quran, the question of superceding arises if one does something contrary to specific Quranic instructions based on the Prophet's teachings. The Quran mentioning three prayers and the prophet teaching 5 is NOT a contradiction, since the Quran doesnt say dont pray the other two, or pray only these three. Prophetic instructions supplement and explain Quranic ones, which is not the same as superceding.
