11.6.Do Muslims Pray like Jesus?

 

Chapter 11:6 

  Do MUslims Pray like Jesus in the Bible?

1. Why ask such a Question?

🤔There are really Muslims that continually repeat those things that they heard from their masters, without knowing what it is all about or able to think for themselves .

One post that I received repeatedly is that only Muslims pray correctly, just like Jesus (then normally with a picture of a person praying with his face on the ground as Muslims think to be the only way to pray❓)

👉Yes, they refer to the text in Mat 26:39 where it's said that Jesus prayed "with His face to the ground".

🤤But... that’s not the only spot in the Bible referring to how Jesus prayed.

👉If they read further in v 42 and 44 it was only stated that Jesus "prayed again" (not focussing on the position of his body now).

📖The Bible mentioned many more times about Jesus prayers, only one other place mentioning the position of his body.

👉John 11:41-43 where he prayed for Lazarus in the grave...

"So, they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.  I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

👉So Jesus looked upward to God when he prayed.

🛐Paul mentioned in Ephesians 3:14 that he knelt before the Father when he prayed.

2. HOW TO FOLLOW JESUS; THE CORRECT WAY TO PRAY!

💥 Maybe it's more important to follow the spiritual advice from Jesus about how to pray, than just focussing on the external body position.

🛐Mat 6:6 NET "But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. 

🛐When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.

👉So pray this way: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be honoured... "

🛐Maybe Muslims can follow Jesus as he learned his disciples to pray by calling God our heavenly Father.

Muslims, this post is only in searching for the Real Truth as it seems more and more that the Quran and the whole Islam tradition is full of errors and unanswerable Questions.❓❓

📖Why not rather consider reading the Bible, the true Word of God, finalized 600 years before Muhammed even existed...

❌Please, don't respond with... "The Bible is corrupt" – every time that you can’t answer a question from a Christian referring to the Bible for proof.
