Concerning your questions Abou Muhammad ,they are legitimate , and the answer is also given by GOD in Quran , like Quran was teached by the prophet Muhammad and transmitted generation after generation , this is the same with Salat and Zakkat given to the prophet Abraham who teached them to his sons and the transmission generation after generation was the same as for Quran ,here are the verses :
21:69 قلنا ينار كوني بردا وسلما علي ابرهيم
21:70 وارادوا به كيدا فجعلنهم الاخسرين
21:71 ونجينه ولوطا الي الارض التي بركنا فيها للعلمين
21:72 ووهبنا له اسحق ويعقوب نافله وكلا جعلنا صلحين
21:73 وجعلنهم ايمه يهدون بامرنا واوحينا اليهم فعل الخيرت واقام الصلوه وايتاء الزكوه وكانوا لنا عبدين
[21:69] We said, "O fire, be cool and safe for Abraham."
[21:70] Thus, they schemed against him, but we made them the losers.
[21:71] We saved him, and we saved Lot, to the land that we blessed for all the people.
[21:72] And we granted him Isaac and Jacob as a gift, and we made them both righteous.
[21:73] We made them imams who guided in accordance with our commandments, and we taught them how to work righteousness, and how to observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and the obligatory charity (Zakat).* To us, they were devoted worshipers.
As Salat was inpired to the prophet Abraham and his sons who teached it,GOD ordred the prophet Muhammad to follow the religion of the prophet Abraham (in his way of performing religious duties = millah) :

2) show me only one verse from the Qu'ran that says that the method of prayer was passed down from Ibrahim (Alayhis salam) to Muhammad (peace be upon him).
3) prove from the Qu'ran alone that the way the Prophets before the time of Muhammad (Sallalahu alayhi wassalam) prayed is the same way as we pray today. Just because prayer was sanctioned for them, that doesn't mean it was the same method of prayer.
And their worship at the (holy) House is naught but whistling and hand-clapping. Therefore (it is said unto them): Taste of the doom because ye disbelieve.(8:35)
4) Allah says in the quran
And if ye go in fear, then (pray) standing or on horseback. And when ye are again in safety, remember Allah, as He hath taught you that which (heretofore) ye knew not. (2:239)
Allah is telling the people to make remembrance (dhikr) of Him the way He taught them which they did not know before. Salat (Prayer) is a form of remembrance:
Don't show me verses where the Qur'an says that we should bow down and prostrate. No, show me where the Quran says WHEN we should prostrate and bow down (the order) and what we should say in each position.It is impossible and no one can show us this. We can only conclude that the method of prayer that we implement today as Muslims came from another source besides the Qur'an and that is the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Allah taught us how to pray by using the Prophet (peace be upon him) to show us. The Qur'an says that Allah revealed the Quran to us, but then in another verse it says that the Holy Spirit (Jibreel) sent the Qur'an down to us. Is this a contradiction? No, it's God sending us the Qur'an down but through the agency of the Angel Jibreel. Similarly it is Allah teaching us how to pray, but through the agency of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
7) Show me anywhere the Qur'an that says how many raka's we must pray for each prayer

Zakat must be given away "on the day of harvest" (6:141). Whenever we receive "net income," we must set aside 2.5% and give it to the specified recipients - the parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, and the traveling alien, in this order (2:215). The vital importance of Zakat is reflected in God's law: "My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give Zakat" (7:156).
Zakat must be carefully calculated and given away on a regular basis whenever we receive any income. Government taxes should be deducted, but not other expenses such as debts, mortgages, and living expenses. If one does not know needy persons, he or she may give the Zakat to a mosque or charitable organization with the distinct purpose of helping poor people. Charities given to mosques or hospitals or organizations cannot be considered Zakat, this is general charity or Sada9ah , zakkat is haq ma'loom it came to us from Abraham as "roub'ou al'ouchr" the quarter of tenth(2.5/100).
