Why do people pray to jesus and not to allah? or for those people who dont like the name Allah (which I dont know why) Ill say god for the other folk. Esa (Jesus) was a prophet of Allah but he was not God. Please inform me to why you pray to a man and not to the thing which created man, and everything you see before you?

Christains are not non-believers !! they are the believers !
"Say : O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. To you be your Way, and to me mine. (The Noble Quran, 109:1-6)"
Noble Verse 45:14 "Tell those who believe, to forgive those who do not look forward to the days of Allah: It is for Him to recompense (for good or ill) each people according to what they have earned."

NO CHRISTIAN could ever give you a right reason for doing that not even a priest because it's simply wrong to pray to anything or anyone but Allah, and you would find different answers and different points of view they don't have the same idea about God even though they pretend reading the Bible, in fact they have several Bibles and several Books (I don't know which one is right!!)
and every one gives a different idea about God and Jesus, so that's why some christian would say they don't pray to Jesus but he's a God, others would say they pray to him because He "is God", others would say they pray to three entities, the father, the son, and the holy spirit because they're all God and last (maybe there are more I'm not sure) some would say they pray to the son of God (Jesus). THANK GOD WE MUSLIMS HAVE ONE HOLY BOOK THE QURAN AND ONLY ONE SIMPLE IDEA WITH NO AMBIGUITY: ALLAH IS ONE AND NO OTHER GOD BUT HIM.

Praying to a human being is regarded as more than a little strange by some other religions, that is true. Some Christians pray to saints, also, which are sometimes explained as a Christianization of pagan gods.
Different kinds of Christians have different opinions about the divinity of Jesus and the nature of God. They have a concept of the trinity--father, son, and holy spirit. Whether God is one, three, or one and three at the same time has been a matter of some conflict through the centuries.
I have been told that Jesus and the saints are supposed to intercede with God.
Then there's the concept of the messiah, which is too complex to go into here.

The true Creator of the Universe is the one each Humans should adress to. Philosophies make their own god which people bown down to in cluding the god of materialism.
Man by nature needs a relation ship with his Creator.Since the beginning man did alineate himself and is not presentable being in sin before His maker. God the Father sent His Son(Jehovah)to pay for the penalty of sin. So that who soever would let Him in his heart would have everlasting life in His presence.
Our Creator wants to be listened to and particularly wants all mankind to be receiving the healing and forgiviness of sin which is in the Salvation made available thru the Lord Jesus. There was no other salvation described in the Bible except thru the Lord Jesus.
The word Allah is a singular name desrcibed in Hebrew as "El" which means the Strenght. In the HOly Bible Our Creator is refered to "Elohim" which indicates He exists as a compound Unity.So it is reallity, that it is Jehoval Himself = Jesus that came down to bring us Healing of the soul =Salvation & Eternal life by sheding his blood on the Cross .That is why Christians who have experienced That new birth of the Spirit are able to communicate( a two way consersation)with The Creator of the Universe which exist as the FATHER , THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.(Abbah,Ben Elohim,Ruach Ha Kodesh).
Christians would not bow down to any other.The proof of the pudding is that When a person is born again of the Spirit he actually hears and listens as well as talking(praying) to Elohim(God) which does answer.Every Humans in this world have a sick soul in sin which need to be healed.This healing comes from the Great Physisian= JESUS(Yeshuah)
Unfortunately the people of the world(non believers) do not realize that they have a sick Soul.

Christians believe that Jesus IS God, not just a man. He is the One who created man and everything according to the Bible.
We are kafir only in the sense that we do not believe that Muhammed was a prophet of God or that the Quran is from God. How could we believe these things that contradict what God's Word, the Bible teaches?

This is why we pray to Jesus Christ, because He isn't a man, He is God appearing in human flesh and so we see no difference in Him and God, the Father.
On the otherhand Mahhamad was a fraud. Kind of like John Smith(the Morman), or Jim Jones(the Peoples Temple, or some other kook.

To you be your way and to me, be my way.
Do you know which Book I'm quoting?
I very much doubt it.
If you're really a Muslim, how come you didn't do the obligatory salutation [saw] after you uttered the name of Allah? Nor even the salutation [swt] after you uttered the name of Jesus? And, for your kind information the Arabic for Jesus is Isa, al Massihe [saw] not Esa.
Of course, you don't know the actual meaning of kaffir, do you?
I see that many Muslims, too, are confused about this, except for Roshni, who has been kind enough to provide you with the full quotation. For your information, according to Islam, Christians are Believers, not "kaffirs" nor as someone said "infidels".
Peace.

Christians have a bible, and in the bible, there is Matthew 28:19 which is the basis of the Holy Trinity, one God with three persons. It is this God that Christians prayer to.
Allah (in Hebrew YHWY) is the name God gave to Moses. Again Christians pray to God (where God a English name for YHWH). The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You prayer to one person, you pray to God.
Unfortunately, no one can explain the Holy Trinity, just like no one can explain Allah.
Answer: Jesus (technically Christ Jesus) is apart of the Holy Trinity. When you pray to one person (there are three), you prayer to God.

Yes christians believe in praying to Jesus because he was the son of Allah or maybe they believe that the soul of Allah appeared in the body of Jesus.But according to Qur'an the Bible is not original anymore.Its contents were changed by dirty hands.Allah told the truth that Jesus was only a human born by Mary the daughter of Imran prophet.Mary was virgin without touched by a man she was pregnant because God instructed Gabriel to blow soul into her womb.What God wanted will be in a reality.In the Qur'an God spoke also that Jesus did not say please worship to me but he said please worship to Allah your God and my God..Jesus as a prophet did not die on the crusade,because according to Qur'an God saved him and lifted his soul to Allah...Why christians do not worship to Adam ? Adam had no mother and father.He was created by Allah from soil.Adam's creation was more enormous than Jesus.
Many christians knew and have read Qu'an but they do not want to change his false Bible and outdated religion into the most updated Qur'an and Islam as their religion.They do not believe in Muhammad pbuh as the last prophet.They do not want to accept Qur'an as a true religion.They are like a bat who could not see in the day light,but can see in the night.We muslims called them as infidels because they believe in 2 Gods Allah as the father and Jesus as the son of God.If God has a son God should separate its authority so God is not one and not omnipotent.If Jesus as God's son so Mary as God's wife.She was not a God;s wife because God has no wife and no parents...

actually in the Quran God refers to Christians as People of the Book who have gone astray....not kafirs. a kafir is someone that has no belief in God despite hearing of him and knowing he exist. Christians believe in God and so are not considered kafirs.
many muslims have the same problem as Christians in that they put the prophet on the same level as God....or in some cases higher than God....that is truly slander of both of the prophets true teachings.

purely some days in the past, you have been disparaging Mu'awiyah radiAllaahu 'anhu. Why do no longer you prepare what you carry forth (approximately no longer insulting others)? Secondly, we are saying that your non secular leaders like "Ayatullah" Khomeini and others are mushrikeen as a results of fact they have truly been taught the real Islaam, yet they have rejected it. For the masses of the shi'a, Allaahu 'Alam approximately their state of Islaam. it would desire to be that they are brainwashed and characteristic never been given the message of Islaam. even if it would additionally be that all of them understand the real Islaam and nonetheless rejected it. after all, there are particular issues that take human beings out of Islaam. If we persist with this standards for kufr to ithna 'asharis, then they are mushrikeen. i think the zaydi shi'as are nonetheless Muslims because they do no longer commit shirk. the only ingredient they think of is that 'Ali radiAllaahu 'anhu replace into extra proper than the two shaykhs (Abu Bakr and 'Umar radiAllaahu 'anhum) - and whilst that's erroneous, that may no longer kufr. they do no longer slander the sahabah nor do they commit shirk like the ithna 'asharis do with their imaams. How is there shirk? as a results of fact the twelvers supply powers that belong purely to Allaah to widespread human beings. you have replace into like the Christians in the type you pray on your saints to get to Allaah, whilst that's ordinary that they can't pay attention you. And in case you declare they pay attention you, that's additionally shirk as a results of fact purely Allaah is the All-listening to. additionally, shi'as declare that the Qur'aan in its cutting-edge sort isn't comprehensive because a goat ate part of it; and that's additionally kufr as a results of fact then that's rejecting the ayah that Allaah will shelter the Qur'aan.
