ISLAM = CHRISTIAN (3)

(From Islamic point of views)


4. Prayer

Al-Qura’an 20: 11, had said that Moses get the order from Allah s.w.t. to take off his shoes while he in the holy place “The Towi Wadi” for receive the 10 rule (the book of Taurat). The manner while in the holy place too, had state in Old Testament in Exodus 3:5 and New Testament; Acts 21-26. The Muslims in Islam too, must take of their shoes while entering the Mosque, but they can pray with their shoes, if it clean from the dirt (Abu Dawood, Vol. 1, The Book of Salaah, Chapter 240, Hadith no. 652-653). Ablutions is compulsory to Muslim’s while they want to pray (Al-Qura’an 5: 6); Bible too has state about this aspect in Old Testament: Exodus 40: 31-32 “And Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet (31), They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting, or approached the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses (32).” Beside that, in New Testament: Acts 7: 33 also had a statement same as the Exodus.

5. Prostration

Prostration had state for 92 times in Al-Qura’an, a few of it had state in surah (Chapter) 3: 43 “O Mary! worship thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate theyself, and bow down.” (Ali Imran 3: 43) and 22: 77 bring the meaning of “O ye who believe! bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.” (Al-Hajj 22: 77).
Bible too have the prostration element, it is can found in Old Testament; Genesis 17: 3, “Abraham fell facedown, and God said to him, (17: 3). Numbers 20: 6, Joshua 5: 14 and in New Testament; Matthew 26: 39 also have this element.
