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.

Jesus is not a prophet; He is the son of God.

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.

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!!!!!

You say Muslims pray on the name of allah whom you say is the Arabic equivalent of the English word god.

So, what is the name of this allah?

He has 99 Names. Some include:
Ar-Rahman
Ar-Rahim
Al-Qudus

Can't this people just face their allah? Me, i no send you oo. leave me alone biko.

If i decide to pray to a goat, scam off and let me be. must i worship your moon god.

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!

Faulkin(Zeusus Krista) of the Neanderthal period is not the son of God Almighty, but the adopted son of Yahweh(the god of Yacob). God ALMIGHTY don't have a particular son. All creatures are his children by virtue of belonging.

Lay off them drugs bro

Everybody sees everybody else as drug users when they are experiencing the world in different ways. It's accepted bro, but the truth is what I said up there. 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.

So, what is the name of this allah?

according to him(Allah), he called himself 99 names. some includes, Ar-Rahman(The beneficent)
Al-Ghaffar(The Forgiver)
As-Salam(The source of peace)

I see nothing wrong in the OP,it is perfectly acceptable for the sake of mutual understanding and peace.

None of those names appear in the Bible nor was it ever recorded that the God of the Bible was called such. Isn't that a clue that allah is not the God of the Bible?

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.

there is no where in the Bible God has bn regarded as the ever forgiving?

you can always ask for the meaning

Is there anywhere.in the quran where allah said he's the ever loving?

kesmalindo:

kesmalindo:

It doesn't matter what it means or not. We give them their respect, they give us ours. Even if we knew the meaning we can't say Amen because it is not in the name of Jesus.

You said none of these Names? You mean the jealous god is not called by the name the most high? Or The giver and taker of life and others?

Read Genesis 14:9, 20, 22, Deuteronomy 32:8, Numbers 24:16, Deuteronomy 32:39.

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.

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.

those who believe is different from sinners.... a believer might also be a sinner

What is the name of ur God? Allah is not a name

There is everything wrong in the op. A prayer not done in the name of Jesus is not a prayer. They should focus on their god while we focus on ours.

EVarn:
I see nothing wrong in the OP,it is perfectly acceptable for the sake of mutual understanding and peace.

There is no christian who doubts that Jesus is God.

You should focus on your Allah. Jesus is God and even God that father said so.

So Jesus is God ,right? Amber,please!read your bubel well and you will more than enough instances that Jesus refferes to a God

So if you feel Jesus is God then I can equate that to blasphemy mind you Muslims recognise Jesus a'a one of the prophets and a whole chapter was dedicated to his mum Maryam (as)..go on to also research that Muslims raised hell when davinci code was released

On the contrary you people are the ones blaspheming against Jesus by referring to him as a mere prophet because Mohammed plagiarized the bible and sold the falsehood of Jesus being a mere prophet to you guys.
