so its a rutine a ritual...not spirit lead but lead from a man who tells you a certain time?
The time was set 1400 years. It is fixed. It is calculated in a very complicated way. Contact:
http://www.islamicfinder.org/help.php?lang=#Q1and I hope they can explain it you. The man doesnt tell us when to pray because hes just a man who is he to comand us when to pray. The prayer is before dawn in maybe 10 minutes then in the morning at around 12 then at noon and after noon and at night. There is a certain method to calculate the time of the prayer. It mostly has to do with when the sun sets when noon comes and so on.

not you own your own free will words from the heart..but
reading repeating..noting of your own?
We read from the Quran and after were done with that we say what we want in our hearts. The Muslim obligatory prayer which is 5 times a day is an act of worship to God not just praying to God. After u this salah (prayer) you can pray to God anything u want. Whenever u pray the five prayers, between each prayer and the other your sins are forgiven !

Here is a video of Muslims praying maybe ull get a better idea:
this is Mecca the holliest Muslim place where ppl make their pilgrimage. The black thing in the middle is what we call "Kaaba" it was the first shrine built on earth dedicated to God alone built by Abraham peace be upon him. We dont worship the kaabah itself but we bown down to its direction because it is directly below Gods throne and we bow down towards it to unite the place where Muslims pray towards.

you pray 4-5 times a day because some man tells you too and when? is this correct?
No as I explained. We dont listen to men in regarding our religion in Islam you only listen to Gods instructions.

mohammed was just another prophet according to islam?
Yes he was the final prophet. God sent him to finalize and unite Judaism and Christianity and explain the doubts people had and to unite them under pure monotheism that God is One, He has no partners, He has no equals, He does not begett and is not begotten. We do not worship Mohammed. He was just a man but a prophet.
QUOTE
is the koran wrote by him?
Mohammed didnt know how to read or write he was illiterate. The Quran was literally written by and authored by God Almighty. The Quran was a verbal revelation not an inspirational revelation meaning that words were put in Mohammeds mouth from God by the archangel Gabriel peace be upon him. So the Quran isnt Mohammeds word claimng to be from God it is lietrally Gods word.
QUOTE
did he set these rules/laws/regulations?
He didnt set anything by himself. All he spoke regarding laws rules regulations were from God. God used to send him the angel Gabriel and Gabriel would instruct him and teach him the law rules etc through the Quran.
QUOTE
what kinda process is there to become a muslim?
You just have to say the decleration of faith which is a verbal contract between you and God:
ash hado an la ilaha ila Allah. Wa ash hado ana Mohamadan rasool Allah
which means I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Mohammed is the messenger of Allah.
Allah is the arabic word for God. Muslims from all nationalities even Americans use the word Allah for God instead of just God because when we say Allah we mean God who has no partners or equals or associates meaning no son no mother no father, absolute One, so we use the word Allah.
