[QUOTE="KhalilUllah, post: 2400863, member: 825943"] Simply because they do the same thing does not mean they follow, but your thought is a logical and reasonable possibility. “And when the Magi of Eastern Religions had come into the house, they saw the young Child Jesus with Mary His mother, and fell down (prostrated) and worshiped Him” (Matt 2:11). I believe that at least one of the Magi was a Hunafa, a precursor to islam. Muhammad was a Hunafa, Seeker of Truth. In this respect Muslims worshiped the same way the Magi worshiped Jesus. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are related. Christianity embraced the Tanakh/OT because the OT promised the Christ and the Gospel fulfills the Christ. OT & NT are 100% consistent when we fully understand them. Muhammad, Caliph Abu Bakr and Caliph Uthman believed that the Bible is the unalterable Word of God. While the Bible does not tell Jews and Christians to believe in the Quran, Allah commands Muslims to believe in the Bible. Thus, true Muslims read and follow the Quran. “Say, ‘We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you (in the Bible); Our Allah and your Allah (of the Bible) is one; and it is to Him we bow’” (Quran 29:46). “‘We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes (of Israel), and in (the Bible) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets (of the Bible), from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)’” (Quran 3:84. See also 2:136). “No change can there be in the words of Allah” (Quran 10:64, also 6:34). “If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee (in the Quran), then ask those who have been reading the Bible from before thee” (Quran 10:94) FYI: Jesus is God in Person. No one has seen God (the Father). Thus, the God who appeared as a person to prophets in the OT was Jesus. In Genesis 18, Jesus the LORD (in all caps versus Lord meaning Master) appeared in person to Abraham. Jesus the LORD also walked and talked with Abraham. “So the LORD (Jesus) spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle” (Ex 33:11). Then the LORD (Jesus) came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again. But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp. And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp." (Num 11:25-30, NKJV). According to the Quran, but not yet Islam, salvation is only through the Grace of God (Rahmanullah or Allah rRahman). “None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from Ar-Rahman” (Quran 19:87). But who is Allah Ar Rahman? “This formula – Bimillahi rrahmani rraheem – is of Jewish origin. It was in the first instance taught to the Koreish by Omayah of Taief the poet (one of the Hanyfs, Sprenger, i.76) who was a contemporary with, but somewhat older than, Muhammad, and who, during his mercantile journeys into Arabia Petraea and Syria, had made himself acquainted with the sacred books and doctrines of Jews and Christians (Kitab al-Aghani, 16, Delhi). Muhammad adopted and constantly used it, and it is prefixed to each Sura except the ninth” (1876 J.M.Rodwell “The Koran”). In the original Aramaic Syriac, this formula would read “Bismilallaha Rahmana Rhima” as Aramaic Syriac uses the word “Allah” or Allaha” for the English word “God.” Syriac Christians at the time of Muhammad called Jesus as Rahmana (1902 H.
