Do Muslims follow the same feast days and laws as the Jews?

Question

In the book of Daniel it tells us that a beast will seek to change the feast days and the laws. I was just wondering how close Islam and Judaism are. Thanks.

Answer 1

They both circumcise their infant boys.
They both condemn the eating of pork.
Their foods must be prepared a specific way - kosher.
They both follow a lunar calendar.
They can both be strict about following the letter of the law.

That's about it... They have different customs, different feast days, different holy days, different rituals, everything else is different.

Answer 2

No. Islam came 2000 years later.
Muslims have Eid festival after month of fasting a big feast day like American Thanks Giving Day and second one is Eidul Azha which is next day of Haj in Mecca.

Jews don't have these holidays. They have pass over, hanuka and Yom Kiper holidays which Muslims don't have.

Only similarities amongst the two religions is that both believe and worship one God the creator of this world.

Practice of worshipping God is totally different in both religions. Muslims bend to God and prostrate by laying their forehead on ground for God to express their humbleness to God. Muslims glorify God in both position and ask for guidance from God while standing.

I don't think Jews bend and prostrate to God like Muslims do. It is possible they won't let Muslims enter in their Sinagogue so I never went to see their practices.

Answer 3

They are close but not exact...Both Islam and Chriatianity have certain things in common with Judaism 'cos Judaism was before them...and certain practices in judaism are still maintained in both.

Answer 4

i dont get the question; wish i can help, but really i dont understand...btw im muslim

Answer 5

I am a Muslim woman and I think Islam gives importance and respect to women. Look at how we are dress, that is how much woman are being respected.

George Bernard Shaw wrote of Muhammad, peace be upon him, that he had studied the man, "...the wonderful man - and in my opinion, far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the saviour of humanity."

Lamartine, the French historian asked:"As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?"

In a study by Micheal Hart The 100, A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is placed on the top of the list.

In Muhammad and Muhammadanism, Rev. R. Bosworth describes the Quran as"...a miracle of purity of style, of wisdom

Thomas carlyle, one of the greatest thinkers of the past century, in his series of lectures under the theme "Heroes and Hero-worship" remarked: "The lies, which well meaning zeal has heaped around this man are disgraceful to ourselves only."

In his book of the same title he wrote: "A silent great soul.. such sincerity, as we named it, has in very truth something of divine. The word of such a man is a voice direct from nature's heart. Men do and must listen to that as to nothing else; all else in wind in comparison."

MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD ARE SUNNI MUSLIM.

One of the Sciences in the Quran, 1400 years ago God already revealed in the Quran, about Planets swim in orbit Chapter 36
33. A Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.
34. And We produce therein orchard with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein:
35. That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?
36. Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge.
37. And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness;
38. And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing.
39. And the Moon,- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk.
40. It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).

God revealed about Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, in the Quran:

Chapter 3

42. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.

43. "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."

44. This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger.) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).

45. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.

46. "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."

47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

48. "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,

49. "And (appoint him) an apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah.s leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah.s leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;

50. "'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.

51. "'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"

52. When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah." Said the disciples: "We are Allah.s helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.

53. "Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger. then write us down among those who bear witness."

54. And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

55. Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.

56. "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

57. "As to those who believe and work righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full) their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong."

58. "This is what we rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."

59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

60. The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.

61. If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

62. This is the true account: There is no god except Allah. and Allah.He is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

63. But if they turn back, Allah hath full knowledge of those who do mischief.

64. Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah. that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah.s Will).
