A2 -Zorstranian Prayer and Muslim Prayer

It is being propagated that Muslim Salaat/Salah/Namaz/Prayer has been under the influence of the Zorostrainian religion. It's pity that some 'Muslims' are also the part of this propaganda.

Here is what can help justify the Truth.

"Though many Zoroastrians converted, many more could not give up their old familiar religion for a foreign one, whose religious book was written in a foreign language of the conquerors. They could not give up the worship of Ahura Mazda through the Holy Fires, for the veneration of a distant stone, the Kaaba in Mecca, of which they had no idea. They could not bring themselves to kneel in prayer before a blank wall facing towards Mecca, instead of standing before a bright fire. Mostly they could not believe that the supreme God, Allah could be both the source of evil and good and therefore a God you could not understand. In contrast, in our own religion, Ahura Mazda is the source of all that was good, and evil comes from a separate force that has to be battled against, with the help of Ahura Mazda and the Yazatas. They could not understand the new customs of not eating certain meats such as pork and not drinking wine."

So those who are making a false foundation of their mythical approach because of the similaritiy in the prayer times OR are offending Muslims for "praying the Sun" are absolutely wrong.

The Sun, Moon and Stars are the creations of Allah and they have their own purpose, which is keeping the track of day and night , seasons year-round, astrologyical calculations etc....and a MUSLIM can never worship them.

[13:2] GOD is the One who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see, then assumed all authority. He committed the sun and the moon, each running (in its orbit) for a predetermined period. He controls all things, and explains the revelations, that you may attain certainty about meeting your Lord.

[31:29] Do you not realize that GOD merges the night into the day and merges the day into the night, and that He has committed the sun and the moon in your service, each running in its orbit for a specific life span, and that GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do?

[35:13] He merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night. He has committed the sun and the moon to run for a predetermined period of time. Such is GOD your Lord; to Him belongs all kingship. Any idols you set up beside Him do not possess as much as a seed's shell.
