Also a quick note to remember; "Prayer" even as described in the dictionary is "...used as a function word in introducing a question, request or plea" , to make a request in a humble manner"

Yes. Praying directly to God, with no intermediary, is one of the fundamental Jewish beliefs and practices.
Christians typically pray to God the Father or Jesus Christ, as they are seen as the primary figures in the Holy Trinity. While some may pray directly to the Holy Spirit, the majority of prayers are directed towards God the Father or Jesus Christ.
According to the Bible... believers are to:"Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit." (I Thess.5:17-19)It is the order of GOD (Allah) that pray is compulsory for all those believed in HIM. there is no relaxation in any case. To offer pray in time is acompulsory subject given By God.
Muslims are ordered to pray directly to ALLAH without any human or spiritual intermediaries. Muslims do not pray to anyone but ALLAH and they do so directly. An Imam may lead the prayers, but he does not pray on behalf of the others, to each his own prayer.
They pray to God, either directly or through the saints. It is important to pray to Jesus Christ, to His Mother the Virgin Mary, and to the holy Saints of the Church. but how long to they pray for?
Read the Bible, surround yourself with other believers to encourage each other and pray for guidance.
You are misinformed about what Catholics believe. Catholics pray directly to God all the time; actually we pray directly to God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) most of the time. However, sometimes we ask others to pray for us too.Catholics believe in intercessory prayer, where we may ask Jesus' mother Mary or a saint (or someone else) to pray for us. This does not negate our ability to pray directly to God. There is no difference in this and asking a friend, parent, or pastor to pray for you, as this is intercessory prayer as well.Bible references:2 Th 1:112 Th 3:1Eph 6:18-19Rom 15:30Rev 5:8
A church is a place where a group of christian believers meet to pray and hear the word of God, and also sing songs.
