Dear Christians, Muslims Only Pray In The Name Of God by kesmalindo(m): 5:34am On May 10, 2017 |
As Muslims, we pray only in the name of Allah (God). We are not even allowed to pray in the name of Prophet Muhammad (S) let alone any other Prophet of God. Hence, it is important for our Christian friends to understand that we wouldn't say 'Amen' when they pray for us 'In Jesus Name'. Only ignorant or hypocritic Muslims will say Amen to any name beside the name of God. Why? It is against everything that we believe as Muslims. Therefore, courtesy demands that you pray for a people in a way that does not sound disrespectful to them. If any Christian friend intentionally prays for me in Jesus Name, I will keep mum and continue as if he hadn't pray at all. If he challenges me for not saying amen, then I will feel very disrespected. In the same way, a Muslim is also not expected to pray for a Christian in Allah's name because Christians only pray in Jesus name. To do otherwise means to disrespect their faith. Since we all have the understanding of praying in God's name, it is best for all of us (Muslims and Christians) to pray ONLY in God's name in gatherings that have both Muslim and Christian attendance. This is called mutual respect and understanding. It well help foster our relationships and understanding and our peaceful coexistence. 2 Likes |

You were making sense before you said the bolded and it just shows how domineering you people are. So because of the presence of muslims us christians should compromise our prayers? Jesus Christ is our God, and any prayer that is not done in the name of Jesus is a waste of time. You cannot compel us to pray without saying "in Jesus name". In the same vein, you are not compelled to say Amen just as we also are not compelled to say amen to your prayers. But saying we should not pray in the name of Jesus in religious gatherings is insanity. kesmalindo: 1 Like |

Op you should understand that in Christianity Jesus is not just a prophet like Mohammed, Jesus is God and His Name is above all names in heaven and on earth. And whatever we ask in that Name....... It is done!!!!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

kesmalindo: This is not mutual respect at all you moronic snake-tongued muslim idiot; you're just demanding Christians stop their practices and follow your practices. If it was mutual respect you wouldn't be offended by Christians worshiping Jesus as well as god. It is YOU who is the disrespectful one here, don't twist it around to make you out as a victim. Not to mention both of your religions are a load of shit, but yours is especially bad. Islam is a cancer that threatens progress and culture - the less muslims the better! 3 Likes |

Faulkin(Zeusus Krista) isn't a direct son of God, but a son to one of the sons of God Almighty. Same way Sango, Zeus, Attis, Mithras, Otem Erectus and many others are. |

kesmalindo:Well, I see your point. I belong to a gathering of both Christians and Muslims. When we meet, a Christian opens the meeting with a prayer and a Muslim closes it or vice versa. Christians pray in Jesus name (Jesus actually says no one goes to the father but through him and we are bound to obey) while Muslims pray in Arabic we don't even understand. We do have a mutual understanding and no one feels disrespected. 2 Likes |

Amberon: Speak for yourself when you say Jesus is your God cos I bet a whole lot of Christians will object to this. Jesus never said he's God, but a mediator and son of God. Don't give Jesus a case to answer in heaven. Cos that's idolatry. |
Re: Dear Christians, Muslims Only Pray In The Name Of God by alBHAGDADI: 7:22am On May 11, 2017 |
kesmalindo:Does ever forgiving make any sense to you with regards to allah? The same allah that can't wait for unbelievers to die before punishing them, but would rather tell muslims to kill them on earth is not a god worthy of such a title. He loves to see the sinners, wicked and unbelievers die. Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" But the heavenly God of the Bible is not like that. Ezekiel 18:23 "Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign LORD. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live. 3 Likes |
