Possible origin of islamic prayer kneeling prostration

[babyboy19ful]

@exodus20v8 Allah is the god of all the universe , we do not believe on any deity , we only believe Angel , We believe on all prophet , From Adam to Muhammad , we believe that human is the decendent of Adam not an ape. Allah Created everything in this world he rule the universe and we just his subject . An in the end of our life , we will return to him , all muslim know that no god exept Allah , and prophet Muhammad S.A.W is the messenger of Allah

[babyboy19ful]

@exodus20v8 hey...look we muslim are not like hindus....we pray only to our only god . and our god is Allah. And hindus , they worship their deity . so, if you dont know anything about us, just shut up !!!

[DumpsterDiversX2]

Jesus was a Muslim so of course he taught his followers to pray like a Muslim. It's a method of prayer that goes back to Prophet Adam (pbuh) ;)

To be a true Christian, one must be a Muslim like Christ was. :)

[maxavail]

@DumpsterDiversX2 what is al taquia ? what is kitman ? islam is satan.

[DumpsterDiversX2]

@maxavail

>You say your opinion

>I can't prove you wrong

>Therefore you must be lying and Satanic

great logic there, friend. With adherents like you, Christianity is really going places.

[ServantoftheElohim]

@DumpsterDiversX2 Unfortunately Islam didn't exist at the time of Christ and before, so your claim makes no sense.

[DumpsterDiversX2]

@ServantoftheElohim

We believe that Christ and all those before him were Muslim not in that they called them selves by the Arabic word "Muslim" but that the religion they brought was the exact same as Muhammad's:

1. Believe in, worship, and love the one and only god of the all creation

2. Believe in and love his prophets, angels, and sent ones and live by their instructions

3. Live in good will with God's creations.

Same religion, different language/culture, starting from the first man.

[DumpsterDiversX2]

@ServantoftheElohim

I hope that makes sense. I understand we may disagree on whose religion is right, but understand that we believe Islam is the natural religion of all creation. :)

[zodiak121]

the prophet prayed this way befor the conquest to eygpt(home of the copts) so he could not have imtated them and the prophet never set foot in Eygpt so it is very hard to beleive and the paryer that the prohet did was the way all the prophets prayed

[truNightslasher]

the message of God is one, thru many messengers to different people. Love and Peace always.

[olsemagle]

Hindu prostration goes back even further.

This discussion is nonsense

[moeazysgc]

@olsemagle Hindus don't believe in One God But Many Gods!

@aldurzi Thanks, I've Just Watched, It I Went Into My Own Research.

[jaimesssi]

AllCame by/with THE "ConceptOfOneGod" .. You know !

[MoroccanSword]

This is the prayer of Abraham the Muslim, Islam was around here before Judaism and Christianity, correct this huge mistake ignorant British commentator.

[khalidbinwa]

Islam did not adobt prostration .

Just because you have a dirty English accent people are suppose to takt you narrative as the trurh you JERK!

The prayer positions was taught to Prophet Muhhamad (PBUH) by Jabriel the angel by the mercy of Allah.

[samplesking1]

So many ego's arguing and enforcing their own sense of self and being right. It's such a shame when the mystery of God is for the ego to be vanished and destroyed. Stop arguing for God's sake. Just pray, prostrate, Love and stop separating things into who's right and who stole. I feel like i'm in 2nd grade w/ these comments

[indypindy2]

This only shows that Jesus was a Muslim as well, who bowed down to God.

Unfortunately, many Christians today have deviated from the true teachings of Jesus.

[samthed]

Muslims stole the practice of full prostrations directly from the Orthodox Church. We have been doing this for 2,000 years...700 years Muhammed was even born. We bow full prostrations and we put on the Sign of the Cross..(the sign of the cross is a terror to demons).We chant the Divine Liturgy(which was handed down by Jesus directly to St James the Apostle)...our hymns are sung by the Angelic Choir in Heaven and are perceived by the saints. Islam is just a cheap imitation of the Orthodox Church.

[samthed]

Yes,stole.You stole our practices and use them in the DEMONIC,Blasphemous and false religion of mohammedism. Mohammedism is simply a demonic imitation of the True Religion..Holy Orthodoxy!

Look, Jesus said that whomever says that He is not the prexistant Logos of God who became Incarnate as Jesus..only deny Him because of the inspiration of the Anti-christ spirit.

Mohammedism is a false and demonic religion inspired by the anti-christ spirit.

[senantiasa]

If by 'Logos of GOD' you mean word of GOD, I don't think Muslims would deny that what came out of Jesus' mouth was not his own words, but words coming from GOD. Ok, I don't understand what 'words of GOD becoming incarnate as Jesus' means, but I think you think too highly of him. Do you think he didn't eat food? Do you think he didn't have to go to the bathroom? Do you think he didn't walk through the markets? He's just a noble messenger sent by GOD to tell us to worship HIM, GOD of the universe.

[senantiasa]

Can I ask you a question? Do you have a problem with Muslims putting their forehead on the ground in front of GOD? Would you prefer that they stop doing this? Or would you prefer that everyone in the whole world, no matter what religion or denomination they identify themselves as to prostate to GOD? What is anti-Christ about Muhammad? Muhammad, Jesus and all the other messengers preached the same thing: to worship GOD and make no partners with HIM.

[emwill02]

@tazarooni89 That's what I think of religion personally.

[Shaheed1993]

Cant deny it .. I feel that this is True ..

[arshie]

so, who is following the message and teaching of Jesus (may the peace and blesseing of God be upon him)?

[4eva2cool]

I know Christian churches that do bow down in prostration. I was raised in a Protestant church and during our Friday night prayer services and Sunday night bible study many members of the church would bow in prostrate and pray.

[senantiasa]

Really?? Can you explain more about these churches... And which traditions do they follow that they have prostrations? Do they have kneeling too like in Catholicism?

[deiniolclarke]

These are the Orthodox Churches. In this particular clip, these monks are Coptic Orthodox (Egyptian). Prostration has always been a part of the life of Orthodox worship and is a sign of repentance. You tend not to see kneeling very much although in some European countries Orthodox do kneel during the Liturgy at the anaphora.

I don't know whether this was adopted by Islam and quite frankly don't care!

[0Idskool]

It was just continued, that's all.

[masyanto]

We Orthodox Christian pray 7 times or three times a day with prostration like this one.

[redscorpionx1]

Actually all Chrisitnas are too supposed to do the same thing today(like Jews & Muslims)...

Its funny how deviant they got with their dancing and gospel music headbanging in USA...

[wsm1z2y]

Peace to all, I wonder sometimes when I see the obvious relation between this vd, the response VD, and many others Islamic VD. Why there is conflects? and why it can't be settled down? if you are a true believer, try to take a moment and think it over, I tried & everytime I come out with the same conclusion it is Satan's work- not to let communication, understanding one another, and the irony is that all share the same creator. food for thoughts

[Islamdebate]

assalamu alaikum,

prostration goes back to the book of Genesis where it says they fell on their face to pray. this is the way all the prophets taught their people to pray more than likely.  it's too bad the Christians don't still do this

[MuslimByChoice]

Also in Psalm 138:2

I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

GOD Almighty's Holy Temple in Islam is the Kaaba in Mecca.

[MuslimByChoice]

This is utter nonsense Prophet Abraham who lived before Christianity and Judaism ever exist used to bow down and prostrate in his prayer,

It says in Genesis 17:1-4 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram FELL ON HIS FACE : AND GOD TALKED WITH HIM.

[hurataimad]

from islamic account,the idea of prostating wasn't new,n wasn't alien, showing clearly that this act pre-dated islam,or this it now ur believe that islamic records have been forged,just to disproved this obsured point u, idiots have made 1400 after they died."maybe,tom will come along n figure out we tookthe sajuud from the christains, 1400 years after we are died, i know let get all the learned folk from the 4 corners of the emipire,to falsify info,so tom the director willn't figure the link".

[hurataimad]

ill education and vast ignorance. islam, if linked to a previous religion, it is linked to the religion of ismail, or if u want to put it in another way, the believed religion of ismail. which in short is the religion of abraham, there is pre-islamic poety which acts as proof, if u want to reject islamic sources, n the established fact that all the central arbian arabs are link to a pilgamage, in pre-islam, showing a cultural n religious link, even an islamophobe has to accept these facts.
