Select your answer for: From whom did the Prophet (PBUH) learn the practice of Salat and ablution?
Show answer

Answer: D. Hazrat jibrail (A.s)

Explanation

Hazrat Jibrail descended to instruct the final messenger on the exact physical movements of ritual prayer. He physically demonstrated both the ablution process and the prayer cycles during their initial meetings. This divine instruction ensured that the foundational rituals of Islam were established with absolute precision. Hazrat Jibrail is the archangel responsible for delivering divine revelations to all prophets of God. The obligation of five daily prayers was ordained during the miraculous night journey of Isra and Miraj. Teaching rituals directly to the Prophet guaranteed that no ambiguity existed in worship practices.

Muslims today replicate these exact physical postures and purification steps established by angelic instruction. The unbroken transmission of ritual practices has preserved Islamic worship across generations without alteration. Understanding this origin highlights the direct connection between heavenly guidance and earthly religious duties. Hazrat Mossa received the Torah on Mount Sinai but was not the instructor of Islamic prayers. Hazrat Essa received the Gospel and preached to the Israelites centuries before this revelation. Hazrat Mikail is the angel in charge of rainfall and sustenance rather than delivering revelations.
