Greetings, I have another question. Do muslims learn the ten commandments? The ten commandments of God given to Moses? (written on tablets, kept in the ark, in the tabernacle of the Lord) If Muhammad followed the God of Abraham, the God of Moses, does it make sense that he did not teach the ten commandments in his qur'an? or to his people? Did he? Shukran for replies, and asalaam. ------------- Let us seek Truth together Blessed be God forever "I believe in Jesus as I believe in the sun... not because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.: - C.S.Lewis |

I'd also like to ask: Do muslims 'keep Holy the Sabbath'? Is that the purpose of their Friday prayers? ------------- Let us seek Truth together Blessed be God forever "I believe in Jesus as I believe in the sun... not because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.: - C.S.Lewis |

Greetings, The Ten commandments were for the Jews.Muslims need not learn the ten commandments. Did Abraham teach the ten Commandments??? The Quran belongs to Allah and not the prophet Muhammad (SAW) WHO IS WAS AND WILL BE THE LAST PROPHET. |

Greetings Ismail, Hi, it's been a long time. I pray that you have been well. So, are you saying that muslims do not know the ten commandments of God given to Moses? (If muslims revere Moses as a prophet (and his God), shouldn't they know the ten commandments that were given to him?) asalaam and blessings. ------------- Let us seek Truth together Blessed be God forever "I believe in Jesus as I believe in the sun... not because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.: - C.S.Lewis |

I guess you are right, the time of [self-proclaimed] prophets is probably over. In this sense I very much hope that Mohamed was really the last one, even if this is not the sense you try to insinuate.

Can any muslim explain Friday prayers to me? I know why the Jewish people 'keep the Sabbath'... the 7th day, day of rest and I know why Christians keep Sunday Holy, but I do not know why muslims have their prayer meetings on Friday? Shukran and salaam. ------------- Let us seek Truth together Blessed be God forever "I believe in Jesus as I believe in the sun... not because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.: - C.S.Lewis |

Caringheart, For Muslims, Friday is the most special day among other days because on that day there are many privileges, fadhilah (virtue) and the secret behind Friday. And among the secrets behind Friday is the existence of extraordinary events, as the Prophet Muhammad said: خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ �£ُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَفِيهِ �£ُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلاَّ فِى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ “A good day when the sun rises is Friday. That day was the day when Adam was created, the day when Adam was put into heaven, and the day when Adam was taken out of heaven, and Judgment Day does not occur except on Friday.” (Narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurairah) That is why Muslims have their prayer meetings on Friday, and many more. |

Yes Asep, Jazakallahu Khairan, Friday is indeed very special to Muslims... so special that there's a chapter in the Qur'an named after it. Here is an extract from that chapter: Qur'an [62:9]
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “We (Muslims) are the last (of the nations) but (we will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, although the former nations were given their scriptures before us and we were given our after them. And this (Friday) is the day concerning which they disputed. So Allaah guided us (to it), tomorrow (i.e., Saturday) is for the Jews and the day after (i.e., Sunday) is for the Christians.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Jumu’ah, 847). It was also narrated (by al-Bukhaari) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day Adam was created, on this day he entered Paradise and on this day he was expelled from it.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Jumu’ah, 1410) |

Yes DavidC, the special days of the Apostles are Friday, Saturday and Sunday. As for that Monday in all the history of the Prophets there is nothing specialize for them, besides that, Monday is only the beginning of the creation of trees and other types of plants.

Hi Caringheart, sorry for the late reply :D Yes, Muhammad is follower of Abraham. Ten Commandments is given to Moses, not to Abraham, so it makes perfect sense that we (muslims) don't observe the Sabbath since Abraham never did too. We do circumcise, however, since Abraham and Ishmael circumcise too. ------------- God commands justice, doing good, and generosity towards relatives and He forbids what is shameful, blameworthy, and oppressive. He teaches you, so that you may take heed (Quran 16:90) |
