1. How do Muslims Pray?
1.They pray 5 times a day-as they get up, mid and late afternoon, after sunset and before sleeping
2. They clean themselves, wash face, hands and feet.
3. Pray by standing, bowing and prostrating- this helps blood circulation, expels air from lungs
and tones muscles
4. It is preferred to pray together-one leads others follow, standing shoulder to shoulder
5. Therefore men pray in front and ladies and children pray at the back (they generally pray at
home)
6. The most important words are “Oh Creator, thee alone do we worship, thee alone do we ask
for help.
Guide us in the Straight Path, not the path who have gone astray or arrogant.
7. Everybody all over the world knows the prayer in Arabic, and pray at the stated times
8. Their Temple is called a Mosque. It is a plain building without any pictures or statues.
9. There are no Priests in Islam, so anybody with basic knowledge can conduct a prayer. There
are only scholars.
Bible: describes prayer almost identical. Refer eBook ….. Coptic Christians prayer and dress
almost similar!
Buddhism: In some Japanese Temples there is some similarity refer video…
