PURPORT
According to the Mohammedan scripture, without  evādat , offering prayers at a mosque or elsewhere five times daily ( namāja ), one cannot be successful in life. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu pointed out that in the revealed scripture of the Mohammedans, love of Godhead is the ultimate goal.  Karma-yoga  and  jñāna-yoga  are certainly described in the Koran, but ultimately the Koran states that the ultimate goal is the offering of prayers to the Supreme Person ( evādat ).
