C
Pray
D
Pray to allah
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muhammad believed that he himself was God’s final prophet. There is only one universal God: Allah. Followers of Islam (Muslims) are expected to pray five times each day while facing Mecca.

Detailed explanation-2: -He enjoined people to mercy, justice, pa-tience and faith, and abhorred oppression towards people, animals and the environ-ment. Amongst his many sayings are: Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it, or bringing about its ruin.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first principle of his message is the belief in one God. The message of humanism is inseparably bound together with his message of monotheism. The Quran has numerous verses which refer to Allah and his attributes but it is directed at man and his behaviour. The Quran acknowledges pluralism.

Detailed explanation-4: -He listened carefully and was able to remember everything the angel said. Muhammad knew that the people needed to hear this message, so he started preaching what God had told him, that Allah is the one true God, and giving yourself to him is the only way to worship him.
