The outward action does not prove an inward state of mind.
Meaning -- just because a muslim puts their hands and heads down doesn't mean they are surrendering in their hearts.... and it is arrogant of you to suggest that no one else can completely surrender to God when they pray, don't you think??
Christians sometimes lift UP their hands and lift UP their heads, because of the JOY we feel in praising the Risen Lord, and at other times, we bow our heads and pray, as the Holy Spirit guides us at any time. There is no set ritual or demands on us for how we pray. We are just told to "pray without ceasing."

It's not true that they're the "only religion" to do so; many Christians do this when we pray also.
Having said that, it is something that I respect and admire about the Muslim religion and Muslim devotions. If we believe that the God we serve is worthy of our worship, then it's really not too much to ask to humble ourselves before Him, is it?

You are not aware of religious practices of other religions
Hindus also do it when they pray....its called shastanga namaskaara....
n Catholics also kneel while praying.....its not only the Muslims who do it
Sikhs Also kneel while they pray......So its not only the Muslims .....I Think most of the religions do that ......
But the one who surrenders entirely to God while praying is thru praying thru the heart not by any physical action

Thank You For Your Question
Well we are not the only religion that do so in fact if you looked in the bible you will see that Jesus himself peace be upon him used to pray to God like that

the reason is, muslim is a very little and humble person when come to prayer. they just show their respect to the creator. mean the give all their life to the creator and they do it 5 time a days to make sure they always remember the creator and that will make they will aware that their creator watching them and prevent them from doing all illegal thing in their religious.
