"Why Do Muslims Knack Their Heads On The Ground In Prayer" A Christian Mocked! by AntiChristian: 3:00pm On May 18, 2023 |
Prostration has been one of the subtle way of worshiping God from the time of Abraham, Moses and Jesus till now. Those who abuse Muslims of head slamming /knacking their head on the ground have nothing to stand on as many notable people did same in their Bible. 1. Jesus: Going a little farther, he (Jesus) fell with his face to the ground and prayed Matthew 26:39 2. Abram: "And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying...," - Old Testament (Genesis 17:3) 3. Abraham:"Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?" - Old Testament (Genesis 17:17) 4. Moses: "And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped." - Old Testament (Exodus 34: ![]() 5. Moses & Aaron: “And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.” - Old Testament (Numbers 20:6) 6. Moses & Aaron:"And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?" - Old Testament (Numbers 16:20-22) 7. Ezra and his People: And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground. - Old Testament (Nehemiah 8:6) 8. Joshua: "And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Joshua 5:14) 9. A Prophet: "And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?" - Old Testament (Ezekiel 9: ![]() 10 Jehoshaphat: "And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD." - Old Testament (2 Chronicles 20:18) 11. A Prophet:"And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" - Old Testament (Ezekiel 11:13) So before you throw stones to the market, check if your family members are complete at home!

AntiChristian: Muslims hit their head on the ground while all the scriptures you've cited say "fell with face (bowing down)" if simple comprehension isn't an issue for you, then you should the two acts are different. You can google the picture of how people bowing down their faces and compare with what Muslims do. 1 Like |

Emusan: Where is it written that Muslims hit their head on the ground? And what were Jesus, Moses, Abraham and other Prophet's head looking for on the ground? How do you hit your head on the ground? You guys sabi tell lies sha! 2 Likes |

AntiChristian: This isn't even written but seeing it with our korokoro eyes. If you're not hitting your head on the ground, it won't have that black mark. And what were Jesus, Moses, Abraham and other Prophet's head looking for on the ground? Bowing down is different from hitting head on ground. You can prove me wrong with pictures How do you hit your head on the ground? Merely looking at the forehead of a Muslim one can see how hitting head on the ground looks like reason why it's different from bowing down. You bowing down without your forehead touches ground. You guys sabi tell lies sha! So far, you're the liar here! 1 Like |

Emusan:This is a lie from the Holly Spirit. Sujud or prostration is a form of worship where all Prophets did in worship to their creator! Just because you see us and not them does not change the truth! Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, and at his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hash-baddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5Ezra opened the book in full view of all the people, since he was standing above them all, and as he opened it, all the people stood up. 6Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and with their hands uplifted, all the people said, “Amen, Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. Nehemiah 8:4-6 Bowing down is different from hitting head on ground. They bowed down above and they then put their faces on the ground (hitting head on the ground). You can prove me wrong with picturesWhere is the picture of Jesus, Abraham, etc while he was on earth? More so, the tradition is lost in Christianity! Merely looking at the forehead of a Muslim one can see how hitting head on the ground looks like reason why it's different from bowing down.The liar is clear here! Ezra in Nehemiah above did arrange people with himself to bow and then put face on the ground! |

AntiChristian: All prophets did but the Ezra you quoted says "...all the people said, “Amen, Amen!” So you Muslims do say Amen, Amen after you hit head on the ground? They bowed down above and they then put their faces on the ground (hitting head on the ground). That's your own interpretation, they didn't and besides these people have different ways recorded of worshiping God. So stop saying nonsense. Where is the picture of Jesus, Abraham, etc while he was on earth? More so, the tradition is lost in Christianity! Since you don't have the picture, it means they didn't hit head on the ground but just bowing down their face. Jesus lifted His head up while praying Christians bow down their faces when praying but don't hit head on ground like Muslims. So I don't know who lied to you that any tradition lost. The liar is clear here! Ezra in Nehemiah above did arrange people with himself to bow and then put face on the ground! Lying liar! They bow down but didn't hit head on ground and say Amen, Amen something Muslims don't do after hitting head on ground get the difference. 1 Like |

Emusan:They said Amen while standing just as we do! My own interpretation? Okay let's go Hebrew now! Nehemiah 8:6 way·yiq·qə·ḏū They bowed down...............action 1 way·yiš·ta·ḥă·wu And worshipped (To depress, prostrate).....action 2 Yah·weh the LORD ’ap·pa·yim with their faces..........................butressing action 2 ’ā·rə·ṣāh to the ground................................butressing action 2 https://biblehub.com/nehemiah/8-6.htm Since you don't have the picture, it means they didn't hit head on the ground but just bowing down their face. You are free to lie as you like! Bye!
