The ancient Jewish prayer, whilst obviously not identical to the Muslim prayer (known in Arabic as salat and in Persian based languages as namaz) does have some remarkable similarities. Given that the Quran is the last revealed revelation of God to humanity,which was sent to confirm some of that contained in God's previous revelations, the Torah and the Gospel (known in Arabic as Taurat and Injeel respectively) it is hardly surprising that one would be able to find such parallels. Another interesting example of such similarities lies in the prohibituion on usury which is mentioned in all of the revealed texts.
