Summary/Abstract: A grateful, but also difficult research task is undertaken by those who deal with the lesser-known details and contradictions of the Islamic religion, as well as with the topic of Muslim sacred cult. In this study, I considered it my task to draw attention to the contradictions found in the Quran, and also to describe in detail the types of Muslim prayers, and – knowing the limitations of the scope of the studies – I wish to introduce the details of my research area so far to those interested in Islam as the 2nd largest world religion. In Europe and in other conflict-torn countries of the world, one of the most pressing problems of the 21st century is the lack of dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims, which can also be traced back to a lack of understanding and a lack of deeper knowledge of Islam. I would like to express my hope that – even within a limited framework – my study can contribute to better understanding and the refutation of stereotypes.
