Questions

Assalam Aleykum

1. 570 CE the time when the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was born. What book was before him, I'm studying Islamic history by my self and i was told that there has always been a religion on earth. I think it was The Gospel but my question is so every one who believed in The Gospel at that time went to heaven right>?

2. Are you allowed to close your eyes while praying i find it difficult to concentrate, my mind runes wildly with thoughts time to time.

3. I don't get the chance to pray Friday prayers in the mosque is that really bad? I heard while back if man doesn't go to Friday prayers 3 times something happens to his heart.

4. Say Salat Asr is 17:11 and you pray 17:50 what changes regarding of your salat. For example, on Friday Prayers the earlier you come the bigger reward you get is it the same with all salats?

Just some of those questions that keep coming back and back in my head.

Aren't men suppose to pray in the mosque all the time? You should really consult someone knowledgeable about this. Prayer is a serious issue.
