The Muslims are supposed to put their naked foreheads on the floor while performing Sijda. There should be no Pad between the forehead and the floor. However, the floors of the mosques may be carpeted. It is not a single piece of pad.
It is not clear what is meant by a prayer book. Muslims have their holy book Quran. During the prayers (Salat), which is the second pillar of Islam five pillars, Muslims recite some verses of Quran. Also when praying for God and asking his forgiveness and mercy and asking for His blessings they may use in these praying some verses from Quran.
There's no such thing as Jewish prayer beads. Prayer beads are used by Hindus, some Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs and Bahai.
Some examples of Muslim prayer curtain pictures include intricate designs with geometric patterns, calligraphy of verses from the Quran, and images of mosques or other religious symbols. These prayer curtains are often used by Muslims during their daily prayers to create a sacred space for worship.
Some do, yes.One could consider the special hat, the kippah as one.

Yes. The Muslims believe in all the prophets. The Muslims had been offering their prayer for some years facing Jerusalem.
Most do. Some mosques used to be a different building, like a library or a church, and don't face Mecca. Nonetheless, Muslims face Mecca during prayer.
"Supplication" is a word used by some Muslims to refer to what Christians simply call prayer. That is: making a personal prayer to God in one's own selected words. The word for this kind of prayer, in Arabic, is "Duaa". The other kind of 'prayer' in Islam is the formal kind which was commanded by God to perform five times every day. That prayer is specific in how it is performed ( though a person also can make personal prayers during it ). That prayer is called 'Salaat' in Arabic.
First of all, Muslims have some duties to do toward God, worshiping Him everyday is what Muslims do, Muslims pray 5 times a day, 1 prayer at the dawn time and one prayer at noonday, and another one is called Asr prayer which comes after noonday prayer in few hours, and one prayer when the sun goes down ( sunset ) and the final one is after the sunset prayer in few hours. P.S: Muslims pray to their God, worshiping only Him, they don\'t worship the sun or moon or anything else, only God, and please know that prayers usually don\'t take more than 5 minutes each, which Muslims believe it\'s a very short time to worship God so Muslims do other prayers that Muhammad used to pray, so they can get closer to God, but any other prayer else the 5 prayers in the beginning is considered optional :)
Yes it is a way of respect. When entering people's homes and the Masjid they take off their shoes. Muslims don't want to get the rugs and the floor they pray on dirty with dust or minerals/particles from the outside world. They are supposed to keep their prayer rugs or special prayer sanction clean from anything that isn't pure or anything that is dirty.
In Islam, it is not specifically mentioned in the Quran whether or not it is allowed to touch the forehead as a form of worship or devotion. However, some scholars suggest that it is permissible as long as it is done with the intention of humbling oneself before Allah in prayer or supplication. Ultimately, it is a personal choice and should be done with sincerity and respect.
The Kaabah, Makkah is the direction of prayer for Muslims from anywhere throughout the world . They once faced Al-Aqsa (another holy site in Islam) Jerusalem as the direction of prayer.
