actually i was just replying in many threads but i never made one for myself and i was thinking we were debating always about different things but what about the similarities !!!
It's a story of a man who converted from christianity to Islam because he found out that it's not a new religion theory but it just fulfilling of what Jesus ( peace be upon him ) was telling his people about.
this is the link : http://www.islamonline.net/english/ramadan/1421/convert/convert4.shtml
and this is a quote from what he said in this link ( in red color font ) and i will bring evidence from the bible of these similarities:
I could not believe the similarity and relationship that it had with Christianity. It wasn't some foreign religion made up by some foreign man who worshipped some foreign God. It was the true Abrahamaic (pbuh) religion, revealed through a man whose very lineage traced back to Abraham's (pbuh) first son Ishmael (pbuh) who worshipped the same one true God. This further fed my curiousity and interest in Islam.
Seeing all the men, women, and children bow in unison and put their faces flat against the ground in prayer seemed a little strange and funny, yet so humble, so unified, and so natural. It seemed like this was the ultimate way that we as God's creations were supposed to pray. I recalled in my mind accounts in Bible of other prophets like Abraham, Moses, and Gesus (pbuh), throwing themselves to the ground in humility and prayer to God yet this is not the way we prayed in church as "Christians", but the Muslims did!
". . . and began to be sorrowful and very depressed. Then saith he unto them, my soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death' . . ."
"And he went a little further, and fell on his face (Exactly as the Muslim does in Salaat), and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 26: 37-39
Jesus (pbuh) told us to greet each other by saying "Peace be with you", yet we Christians didn't do this. It was the Muslims who greeted each other saying "As-Salaamu Alaikum" which means "Peace be with you".
He spoke to them again and said, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." John 20:21
In Christianity only "orthodox" nuns covered their heads and bodies, but this was a standard practice of modesty, chastity and humbleness for millions of practicing Muslim women who were interactive members of the society. It wasn't something reserved for the "orthodox". I left that little session engulfed in a maze of thoughts.
so after you finish reading ..
do you think all these similarities between Islam and Christianity are not enough for anyone to believe that Islam is the truth way to fulfill what all prophets were trying to explain for thier people?
