One of the reasons given .. her and her jumaat’s words was that Islam was written so long ago, that all those “Restrictions” and “Rules” are no longer valid.. they might have existed in those times, but not in today’s modern world.. none of that matters..

I was lost because again, the Quran clearly states the basic principles, which her people are blatantly rejecting

Peace akaprincess

You friend sounds as if she is an Ismaili … What you are seeing here is the need - the very important need to subscribe to a clear set of rules of belief … ones that determine whether we are Muslim or not. There are some more involved understandings of their belief that you need to know … but in terms of belief there are six main pillars … Then there is the law and we must abide by it in accordance to its understandings. Prayer is not abrogated … but some minorities claim this to be so.
