Was that supposed to be an Islamic enquiry; or rather a general enquiry from all religions?

what do you mean by how are we supposed to do it? do you mean physical preparations like taking our baths first and brushing our teeth?

How Should We Worship God, do what Abramham and David Did because these are the people that Yashua followed (Matthew 1 : 1). These people worshipped the SUN. Amen Ra (Amun - Re/Sun) who was the beginning of the creation of GOD according to the book of Revelation 3 : 14 and I quote:

"And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;"

Now ask yourselves who is the Amen (Amun)?

I would go with the book of Revelation (Litany of Re) which says he was the "the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;"


Psalm 19:4 shows you that the Lord built a tabernacle for the sun:

Why did David build a tabernacle for the Sun?

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

The Hebrew word being used for sun is shemesh meaning “sun.” The Lord set a tabernacle for the sun and he is the sun, not son – bane in Psalm 84:11. They have simply given the sun different names or attributes but all of the religions of the world in one way or another give praise or adoration to the sun. Names like most high god, light of the heaven or earth, the source of all things, light is the life in man, the highest, the most high, are references to that source of reality – the sun, as opposed to the superstition of a spirit or spook force being that has not been confirmed.

The verse (even as you quoted) does not say that David built a tabernacle for the sun. He was speaking in allegorical Hebrew terms of what God did.

'Tabernacle for the sun' does not mean that believers are "sun-worshippers". Deut. 4:19 expressly forbids such a concept as that those who worship God turn their worship into a situation where they "lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them." The warning is repeated yet again in Deut. 17:3 -- "And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded."

What then is the understanding of 'tabernacle for the sun' in Psa. 19:4? It simply points to the set courses of the sun (as well the moon and stars) which reference was already made in Genesis 1:14-17 --

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth."

The "firmament" of heaven is where God set the lights (sun, moon, stars) - which David in Psa. 19:4 calls the 'tabernacle for the sun'.

Another prophet uses yet a different expression to speak of the same concept:

Hab. 3:11 -- "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."

'Tabernacle'. . . 'firmament'. . . 'habitation' - are various expressions of the same concept. God set them in their places.

Believers are not sun-worshippers; neither have they given the "sun" different names. As in Psa. 84:11, there are various ways and allegorical languages in which God presents Himself to meet the needs of His redeemed. Other examples:

Deut. 32:4 - "He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he."

1 Sam. 2:2 - "There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God."
