To Muslimah,
You said,
Quote:Regarding that Quran does not teach us to pray, look how Allah Commanded Maraim (Mary) to pray exactly the way we do, not sure if u have an idea on how we pray
Well, bowing or prostrating in prayer is fine. I do that at times in prayer as well. Many Christians do. But, there is a lot more that is done in Islamic prayer than just that, like turning your head from one side to another, holding your hands a certain way, I think even the feet have to be in a certain position when you prostrate. I'm talking about all of those things.
Quote:See ronniv, as long as Allah Is One and He is the same Allah from the beginning of this life, how can Allah Command a way for worship different through eras? not logical.
You know, that brings up another thought/question in my mind. Apparently, if Islam is true, then there has been a change in the method or manner of worship.
Islam claims to be the "only religion" acceptable to Allah and that all the prophets throughout history were Muslim. Yet, in the OT times, people had to make sacrifices as a result of their sins. But, Islam today rejects such a practice. I know you have the Eid sacrifice, but that is totally different from what the ancient Israelites do.
Another example is that King David sang and played music in worship of God. But, most Muslims believe that music is forbidden.
So, it would appear that some things DID change.
Your thoughts???
