Were other prophets commanded to perform the prayer?


The prayer has been made obligatory for all believers, from the prophets on down. All the prophets sent to mankind throughout the course of history have preached this observance, made obligatory by Allah, and have been role models for all believers by performing that obligation in the finest and truest manner possible. The Qur’an contains several verses regarding the prophets being commanded to perform the prayer, the scrupulous way they performed and maintained it, and the way they passed that command on to their own societies. Some of these verses read:


- For the Prophet Ibrahim (as):


 


“My Lord! Make me and my descendants people who perform prayer. My Lord! Accept my prayer.” (Surah Ibrahim, 40)

- For the Prophet Isma’il (as):


 


Mention Isma’il in the Book. He was true to his promise and was a Messenger and a Prophet. He used to command his people to perform prayer and give the alms and he was pleasing to his Lord. (Surah Maryam, 54-55)

- For the Prophet Musa (as):


I am Allah. There is no Deity but Me, so worship Me and perform prayer to remember Me.  (Surah Ta Ha, 14)

The blessed Maryam, a role model for female believers, was also commanded to perform the prayer:


Maryam, obey your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 43)

The Prophet ‘Isa (as) also received that same commandment from Allah:


He said, “I am the servant of Allah, He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I am and directed me to perform prayer and give the alms as long as I live.” (Surah Maryam, 30-31)
