EARLY CHRISTIANS PROSTRATION
AND PRAYER MATS: CHRISTIANS
PRAYING LIKE MUSLIMS.

Early Chistians Prayed Like Muslims
and Jesus...
Speaking of the 7th century,
Diarmaid McCulloch tells the
Christians were praying like
Muslims before the coming of
Islam:
…the characteristic prostration of
Muslim prayer was then normal in
the Christian Middle East, where it
still survives in some traditional
Christian communities. Prayer
mats, still one of the most familiar
features of the mosque today,
were extensively used by the
Christian monks as far apart as
Syria and Northumbria or Ireland
before the coming of Islam. [A
History of Christianity, Diarmaid
McCulloch, Penguin Group, 2009,
p258]
Why would early Christians pray
like Muslims?
Could it have anything to do with
Prophet Jesus (p) worshipping
God in the manner in which
Muslims pray? In fact, even
Christian sources point to this:
Going a little farther, he fell with
his face to the ground and
prayed, “My Father, if it is possible,
may this cup be taken from me.
Yet not as I will, but as you
will.” [Matthew 26: 39, NIV]
Going a little farther, he fell to the
ground and prayed that if
possible the hour might pass
from him. “Abba,[a] Father,” he
said, “everything is possible for
you. Take this cup from me. Yet
not what I will, but what you
will.” [Mark 14:35-36, NIV]
Also see: Luke 22:39-46
Apart from the glaring theological
problem which Trinitarians
encounter from such passages
(i.e. that of Jesus worshipping
God!) we can clearly see that Jesus
appears to pray in the manner of
the Muslims according to Christian
sources. Thus, from these
passages we can understand the
usage of prayer mats within
Christian communities prior to the
coming of Islam.
Note: The word Father (Abba) is
simply a Jewish term for God. It is
not to be taken literally, Professor
Geza Vermes writes: Jesus prayed
there in the solitude, invoking God
as ‘Abba’, ‘Father’ or My Father’.
The word is given in Aramaic in
Mark and in Greek in Matthew and
Luke. Abba is a familiar but also
respectful expression. It is not the
equivalent of ‘Daddy’, as some
New Testament scholars have
unwisely ventured to propose.

BIBLE VERSES ABOUT PROPHET
MUHAMMAD
In the Old Testament, Genesis,
21:21 it is said: 'He (Prophet
Ismaaeel) dwelt in the Wilderness
of Paran; and his Mother took a
wife for him from the land of
Egypt.' Psalm 83: 4-6 talks about
the enemies of among others
Ishmaelites, and Hagrites (Hagar
being the mother of Prophet
Ismaaeel). Psalm 84: 4-6 "4-
Blessed are those who dwell in
your House; They will still be
praising You. 5- Blessed is the
man whose strength is in You,
whose heart is set on the
pilgrimage. 6- As they pass
through the valley of Baca. They
make it a spring; The rain also
covers it with pools."
There are several interesting
points in the above verses. The
name Baca could be Hebrew
whereas the word Mecca is
Arabic. Added to this the fact that
there is a designated House of
God built by Abraham peace be
upon him in Mecca where yearly
pilgrimage was performed from
the time of Abraham and Ismaaeel
peace be upon them both, even to
this day. The valley of Baca could
indeed be the same as the valley
of Mecca. The above verses seem
to place Hagar, Ismaaeel and their
children in the valley of Mecca
where Prophet Muhammad,
(Peace and Blessing of God be
upon him), was born.
Isaiah, 21:12-17 mentions 12...In
the forest in Arabia you will
lodge...15 For they fled from the
swords , from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow, and from the
distress of war. (Probable
connection with the enemies
mentioned in Psalm 83: 4-6
quoted above; also settlement in
Arabia is confirmed; the verse 16
which follows, also confirms these
verses are about Ismaeelites,
Kedar being the 2nd son of
Prophet Ismaaeel). 16 For thus the
Lord...all the glory of Kedar will fall;
17 and the remainder...people of
Kedar will be diminished...Isaiah
42:1-13 These are very moving
verses about 'God's elect servant'
who will bring forth justice to the
Gentiles. A point worth noting is
that Gentiles are the non Jews and
it was confirmed by Jesus peace
be upon him that he was sent to
the Jews. Moreover Muhammad
peace and blessings of God be
upon him is consistently named
by God as Mustafaa which means
'elected' and 'Abd' which means
'servant'. Prophet Muhammad
always referred to himself
consistently as the 'servant of
God'. The above verses cannot be
about Jesus peace be upon him as
many Christians believe, for at
least two reasons. Firstly, the
Christians and the Catholics
describe him as the son of God
and not the servant of God;
whereas Prophet Muhammad is
known exclusively as the Servant
and the Messenger of God.
Secondly, Jesus was sent
exclusively to the Jews whereas
Prophet Muhammad was sent
among the Gentiles.
ARE THERE ANY REFERENCES AND
CITATIOINS FROM THE BIBLE ABOUT
THE COMING OF THE PROPHET
MUHAMMAD? (Peace and Blessing
of God Be Upon Him)
Yes. There are several citations in
the Bible prophesying the coming
of prophet Muhammad, (Peace
and Blessing of God Be Upon
Him). Isaiah 42: 4 says ' He will not
fail nor be discouraged, till he has
established justice in the earth; . . .
The Ministry of Jesus peace be
upon him lasted only three years
and at the time of his departure
from this world it could not be
truthfully said that 'he established
justice in the earth'. However,
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings of God be upon him,
preached for 23 years and most
certainly 'established justice in the
earth' before he departed from
the earth. It is therefore
reasonable to conclude that
verses 1-13 refer to the coming of
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings of God be upon him.
Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise
for them a Prophet like you
(Moses) from among their
brethren and will put My words in
his mouth, and he shall speak
unto them, all that I command
him".
Let me make some comments
about the above: Christians
believe that this is a reference to
Jesus peace be upon him. One
important word here is "Prophet".
Christians believe Jesus is the son
of God not a prophet of God.
Another important word is
"brethren". If it were Jesus the
word would have been "children"
because Jesus peace be upon him
came from the children of Isaac.
Since Ismaaeel peace be upon him
was the brother of Isaac peace be
upon him, the reference is
therefore to the children of
Prophet Ismaaeel peace be upon
him who will be brethren to the
children of Isaac peace be upon
him. Again the only Prophet from
the brethren of the Jews and the
Christians was Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings
of God be upon him. The next
important phrase is "Like you
( Moses)". Even a cursory
comparison will show us that
Jesus peace be upon him was
very unlike Prophet Moses peace
be upon him. Prophet Moses'
birth was natural whereas the
birth of Jesus was miraculous
without a father, to a virgin, peace
be upon her. Prophet Moses
married and had children, Jesus
did not marry and of course did
not have any children. The
ministry of Jesus peace be upon
him lasted three years and did not
see the laws of God establish in
his time. Prophet Moses peace be
upon him, preached the law of
God for many decades and saw in
his time, the law of God
established. Comparing Prophet
Moses peace be upon him, with
Prophet Muhammad peace and
blessings of God be upon him,
brings out an amazing similarity.
Muhammad's birth was natural,
he was married and had children;
preached the law of God for 23
years and saw in his own time
God's Law established in his land.
The phrase: "I will put My words
in his mouth", takes on great
significance because Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings
of God be upon him, was
unlettered; he did not know how
to read or write. Normally God
would put the message in the
Prophet's mind. In this case
attention is drawn towards
"words" being put into the
"mouth". Prophet Muhammad's
sayings as well as eye witness
accounts describe his receiving
the verses of the Holy Quraan, and
his tongue moving with the
words being put in his mouth.
Turning to the New Testament, let
us look at John 14: 15-16. It says:
"14-If you love Me, keep My
commandments. 16- And I will
pray the Father, and He will give
you another "comforter" (Helper
in other versions), that he may
abide with you forever". Also John
15: 26-27, John 16: 5-8 and John
16: 12-14.
Jesus peace be upon him, spoke
the Gospel in his native language
which is Aramaic. The earliest
translations were in Greek. It is
very very interesting that the
Greek word which was eventually
translated into English as
"Comforter" (Helper) is
"Parqaleeta" and the meaning of
this word is "one whom people
praise exceedingly". It does not
mean "the Holy Ghost" which is
what we are told the so called
"Comforter" means. I do not have
the slightest clue as to how this
meaning was given to the word
Parqaleeta. What is even more
fascinating is the fact that the
name Muhammad has exactly the
same meaning as Parqaleeta "one
whom people praise
exceedingly"! One of my friends
wrote very beautifully in his book
about the meaning of the word
Muhammad: 'The most praised
one. He is praised upon earth and
in the heavens, from the
beginning to the end, by men jinn
and angels, rocks and trees and
animals, by prophets before him
since Adam, by saints until
Doomsday. As all of this cannot
give him due praise, we beg God
to praise him. He is the only One
who truly knows the value and
the mystery of His Muhammad
and He is the only One who can
truly praise him'. The celestial
name of Prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings of God be
upon him is Ahmad. I will quote
from the Holy Quraan about the
connection of Prophet
Muhammad with the Bible as
follows:
Chapter 61: 5-6
"And remember Moses said to his
people: "O my people! why do ye
vex and insult me though ye
know that I am the apostle of
Allaah (sent) to you?" Then when
they went wrong Allaah let their
hearts go wrong: for Allaah
guides not those who are
rebellious transgressors.
And remember Jesus the son of
Mary said: "O Children of Israel! I
am the Prophet of Allaah (sent) to
you confirming the Law (which
came) before me and giving glad
Tidings of a Prophet to come after
me, whose name shall be Ahmad."
But when he came to them with
Clear Signs they said "This is
evident sorcery!"
Allaah is one of the 100 names of
the One and only God. Allaah is the
name of His Essence while the
other 99 are the names of His
Attributes.
As for "abide with you forever"
since Prophet Muhammad is the
final Prophet and the Holy Quraan
the final Testament and Revelation
from God, his teachings which are
more or less the same as of all the
other Prophets and Messengers of
God, Divine teachings of God, he
will abide in his teachings forever.

of God be upon him, was
unlettered; he did not know how
to read or write. Normally God
would put the message in the
Prophet's mind. In this case
attention is drawn towards
"words" being put into the
"mouth". Prophet Muhammad's
sayings as well as eye witness
accounts describe his receiving
the verses of the Holy Quraan, and
his tongue moving with the
words being put in his mouth.
Turning to the New Testament, let
us look at John 14: 15-16. It says:
"14-If you love Me, keep My
commandments. 16- And I will
pray the Father, and He will give
you another "comforter" (Helper
in other versions), that he may
abide with you forever". Also John
15: 26-27, John 16: 5-8 and John
16: 12-14.
Jesus peace be upon him, spoke
the Gospel in his native language
which is Aramaic. The earliest
translations were in Greek. It is
very very interesting that the
Greek word which was eventually
translated into English as
"Comforter" (Helper) is
"Parqaleeta" and the meaning of
this word is "one whom people
praise exceedingly". It does not
mean "the Holy Ghost" which is
what we are told the so called
"Comforter" means. I do not have
the slightest clue as to how this
meaning was given to the word
Parqaleeta. What is even more
fascinating is the fact that the
name Muhammad has exactly the
same meaning as Parqaleeta "one
whom people praise
exceedingly"! One of my friends
wrote very beautifully in his book
about the meaning of the word
Muhammad: 'The most praised
one. He is praised upon earth and
in the heavens, from the
beginning to the end, by men jinn
and angels, rocks and trees and
animals, by prophets before him
since Adam, by saints until
Doomsday. As all of this cannot
give him due praise, we beg God
to praise him. He is the only One
who truly knows the value and
the mystery of His Muhammad
and He is the only One who can
truly praise him'. The celestial
name of Prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings of God be
upon him is Ahmad. I will quote
from the Holy Quraan about the
connection of Prophet
Muhammad with the Bible as
follows:
Chapter 61: 5-6
"And remember Moses said to his
people: "O my people! why do ye
vex and insult me though ye
know that I am the apostle of
Allaah (sent) to you?" Then when
they went wrong Allaah let their
hearts go wrong: for Allaah
guides not those who are
rebellious transgressors.
And remember Jesus the son of
Mary said: "O Children of Israel! I
am the Prophet of Allaah (sent) to
you confirming the Law (which
came) before me and giving glad
Tidings of a Prophet to come after
me, whose name shall be Ahmad."
But when he came to them with
Clear Signs they said "This is
evident sorcery!"
Allaah is one of the 100 names of
the One and only God. Allaah is the
name of His Essence while the
other 99 are the names of His
Attributes.
As for "abide with you forever"
since Prophet Muhammad is the
final Prophet and the Holy Quraan
the final Testament and Revelation
from God, his teachings which are
more or less the same as of all the
other Prophets and Messengers of
God, Divine teachings of God, he
will abide in his teachings forever.

BIBLE VERSES ABOUT PROPHET
MUHAMMAD
In the Old Testament, Genesis,
21:21 it is said: 'He (Prophet
Ismaaeel) dwelt in the Wilderness
of Paran; and his Mother took a
wife for him from the land of
Egypt.' Psalm 83: 4-6 talks about
the enemies of among others
Ishmaelites, and Hagrites (Hagar
being the mother of Prophet
Ismaaeel). Psalm 84: 4-6 "4-
Blessed are those who dwell in
your House; They will still be
praising You. 5- Blessed is the
man whose strength is in You,
whose heart is set on the
pilgrimage. 6- As they pass
through the valley of Baca. They
make it a spring; The rain also
covers it with pools."
There are several interesting
points in the above verses. The
name Baca could be Hebrew
whereas the word Mecca is
Arabic. Added to this the fact that
there is a designated House of
God built by Abraham peace be
upon him in Mecca where yearly
pilgrimage was performed from
the time of Abraham and Ismaaeel
peace be upon them both, even to
this day. The valley of Baca could
indeed be the same as the valley
of Mecca. The above verses seem
to place Hagar, Ismaaeel and their
children in the valley of Mecca
where Prophet Muhammad,
(Peace and Blessing of God be
upon him), was born.
Isaiah, 21:12-17 mentions 12...In
the forest in Arabia you will
lodge...15 For they fled from the
swords , from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow, and from the
distress of war. (Probable
connection with the enemies
mentioned in Psalm 83: 4-6
quoted above; also settlement in
Arabia is confirmed; the verse 16
which follows, also confirms these
verses are about Ismaeelites,
Kedar being the 2nd son of
Prophet Ismaaeel). 16 For thus the
Lord...all the glory of Kedar will fall;
17 and the remainder...people of
Kedar will be diminished...Isaiah
42:1-13 These are very moving
verses about 'God's elect servant'
who will bring forth justice to the
Gentiles. A point worth noting is
that Gentiles are the non Jews and
it was confirmed by Jesus peace
be upon him that he was sent to
the Jews. Moreover Muhammad
peace and blessings of God be
upon him is consistently named
by God as Mustafaa which means
'elected' and 'Abd' which means
'servant'. Prophet Muhammad
always referred to himself
consistently as the 'servant of
God'. The above verses cannot be
about Jesus peace be upon him as
many Christians believe, for at
least two reasons. Firstly, the
Christians and the Catholics
describe him as the son of God
and not the servant of God;
whereas Prophet Muhammad is
known exclusively as the Servant
and the Messenger of God.
Secondly, Jesus was sent
exclusively to the Jews whereas
Prophet Muhammad was sent
among the Gentiles.
ARE THERE ANY REFERENCES AND
CITATIOINS FROM THE BIBLE ABOUT
THE COMING OF THE PROPHET
MUHAMMAD? (Peace and Blessing
of God Be Upon Him)
Yes. There are several citations in
the Bible prophesying the coming
of prophet Muhammad, (Peace
and Blessing of God Be Upon
Him). Isaiah 42: 4 says ' He will not
fail nor be discouraged, till he has
established justice in the earth; . . .
The Ministry of Jesus peace be
upon him lasted only three years
and at the time of his departure
from this world it could not be
truthfully said that 'he established
justice in the earth'. However,
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings of God be upon him,
preached for 23 years and most
certainly 'established justice in the
earth' before he departed from
the earth. It is therefore
reasonable to conclude that
verses 1-13 refer to the coming of
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings of God be upon him.
Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise
for them a Prophet like you
(Moses) from among their
brethren and will put My words in
his mouth, and he shall speak
unto them, all that I command
him".
Let me make some comments
about the above: Christians
believe that this is a reference to
Jesus peace be upon him. One
important word here is "Prophet".
Christians believe Jesus is the son
of God not a prophet of God.
Another important word is
"brethren". If it were Jesus the
word would have been "children"
because Jesus peace be upon him
came from the children of Isaac.
Since Ismaaeel peace be upon him
was the brother of Isaac peace be
upon him, the reference is
therefore to the children of
Prophet Ismaaeel peace be upon
him who will be brethren to the
children of Isaac peace be upon
him. Again the only Prophet from
the brethren of the Jews and the
Christians was Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings
of God be upon him. The next
important phrase is "Like you
( Moses)". Even a cursory
comparison will show us that
Jesus peace be upon him was
very unlike Prophet Moses peace
be upon him. Prophet Moses'
birth was natural whereas the
birth of Jesus was miraculous
without a father, to a virgin, peace
be upon her. Prophet Moses
married and had children, Jesus
did not marry and of course did
not have any children. The
ministry of Jesus peace be upon
him lasted three years and did not
see the laws of God establish in
his time. Prophet Moses peace be
upon him, preached the law of
God for many decades and saw in
his time, the law of God
established. Comparing Prophet
Moses peace be upon him, with
Prophet Muhammad peace and
blessings of God be upon him,
brings out an amazing similarity.
Muhammad's birth was natural,
he was married and had children;
preached the law of God for 23
years and saw in his own time
God's Law established in his land.
The phrase: "I will put My words
in his mouth", takes on great
significance because Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings
of God be upon him, was
unlettered; he did not know how
to read or write. Normally God
would put the message in the
Prophet's mind. In this case
attention is drawn towards
"words" being put into the
"mouth". Prophet Muhammad's
sayings as well as eye witness
accounts describe his receiving
the verses of the Holy Quraan, and
his tongue moving with the

commandments. 16- And I will
pray the Father, and He will give

abide with you forever". Also John

16: 12-14.
