Answer 2

Allah is He as well Whom there is not any God, The Everliving, The Selfsubsisting by using Whom all issues subsist. Neither close eye nor sleep overtakes Him. inspite of is in the Heavens or on earth belongs to Him. who's he that may intercede with Him yet by using His leave? His throne incorporates the Heavens and the Earth, the upkeep of which wearies Him no longer, he's The elegant, The outstanding. no matter if you study Braille or no longer, in case you analyze the Bible you will see one and all prophets, even the Messiah, prayed interior of a similar way that the Muslims pray, and each of the prophets prayed to the actually authentic God (John 17:3) and none of them prayed to Jesus or to a trinity of three Gods. AMEN!

Answer 3

Prophet Muhammed was commanded to follow the Religion of Abraham. Had the religion of Abraham not known to him, we would not expect God to command him to follow it.

Then we inspiredyou (O Muhammed) to follow the religion
of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idol-worshiper."
16:123


19:58] "These are some of the prophets whom GOD blessed. They were chosen from among the descendants of Adam, and the descendants of those whom we carried with Noah, and the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom we guided and selected. When the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they fall prostrate, weeping."


[19:59] "After them, He substituted generations who lost the Contact Prayers (Salat), and pursued their lusts. They will suffer the consequences."

Quran conforms that salat was lost after some generations for the people of the book. Losing it involved changing it in every aspect. The salat as practiced today by most of the Jews and Christians is different than what was given to their prophets. Very few Jews and Christians have maintained the inherited Salat.

In a book entitles "To Pray as a Jew" I found a lengthy explanation of the the Prayers as done by the ancient Jews and few of the contemporary Jews. In this book the author put diagrams showing the movement and positions during the prayer. One look at these illustrations is enough for the Muslims to realize the similarity of the prayers of the Jews then and Salat as practiced by the Muslims.

In his comment about these positions the author wrote : "In most contemporary congregations very few people keep to the tradition of falling prostrate. Sometimes it is only the Prayer leader and the rabbi who does so. In more traditional congregations, however, some worshipers, men and women, will join the Prayer Leader and rabbi in the act of prostrating themselves. In Israeli synagogues, the practice is more widespread than in synagogues elsewhere. Since this is a position that we are unaccustomed to, one who has never done this before might very well demur. But once accomplished, the experience provides such a spiritual uplift that one looks forward to repeating it. Those willing to try this ancient ritual form on the rare occasions that call for it might welcome the following diagrams of the correct procedure"
It is also interesting to learn from this book that the prayers of the Jews involve wash before the prayers, (like Wuduu or ablution for Muslims), and the call for Prayers (like the Azan for the Muslims).



With this, I rest my case, Thank you...
