Similarities between Islam and Judaism Part 2

A Jew talks about many similarities between Judaism and Islam.

[Fitraa]

I love you, I say this as a Muslim. Listening to how similar we are gives me goosebumps in a good way and gives me energy and gives me hope. We need to reunite for Allah / for Hesham!

[ahmedhafez]

I can not stop myself from admiring your message and level of efforts being done for bridging the gap between cousins..keep on

[gohahigh]

I am Muslim and I really thank you for this video this kind of a speech to bring peace

[Darweysh]

to elaborate some points you talked about in video.

1. *LEFT AND RIGHT AFTER PRAYER* , Muslims face right first then left, and on every turn they say Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmat-ul-LLAH which means may peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon you all on right and also on left,

2. *PUTTING HANDS ON CHEST* , Muslims have a difference of opinion in where to put hands, some on chest (where you put), some on lower chest and some don't put hands at all(this last one is minority as long as i know). and it is also not based on Qur'an but based on Hadith (collections of sayings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH).

3. *PRAYING WITH BARE FEET* , in a Mosque all have to pray bare feet, but everywhere else is difference of opinion on that. yes we can pray anywhere but the place need to be clean of certain things,

4. *THINKING QUR'AN ALLAH OR PRAYING IN BATHROOM* , toilet is not a clean place to think about Qur'an or ALLAH willingly, but if thoughts come and you can not control them then it's ok, but not on purpose, and of course a Muslim is not allowed to pray in toilet until it's the only place left for you to pray (which is pretty much unlikely) :)
Muslims are not allowed to talk about anything in toilet until there is a dire need.
i should also add that Muslims have prayers when entering and exiting toilet, but not while in toilet.

5. *THE RIGHT HAND*, in Islam we are suppose to do unclean things with left hand and clean things with right hand (with special exceptions), so cleaning yourself in toilet is done with left hand and eating food is done with right hand, there are many wisdom in that, discipline and awareness to cleanliness and making it a habit so you don't forget it naturally.

6. *TOUCHING WOMEN*, Islam does not allow any touch between genders outside of marriage other than close relatives, but you can of course save a woman falling from a cliff by holding her hand to pull her :)
going further Islam does not allow looking at women willingly, you must lower your gaze when you know you have a woman in front of you.

7. *SHARING CLOSE GENES*, as we believe Islam is the religion for whole humanity, so sharing close genes is totally unrelated to religion, but on the other hand Arabs might have that similarity with Jews,


*IN THE END*, almost all forbidden things have exceptions to it and also allowed in a life and death situations, some are allowed but not recommended like speaking truth, other are allowed like eating pork and non-kosher food is generally forbidden but you can eat it in a situation of fearing death from hunger and only having pork or non-kosher food to eat.

i hope i have elaborated enough,

thank you for your effort to bring Jews and Muslims closer, i really appreciate that.

*Peace...*

Great video, we need more people like you in this world who can focus on similarities that can spread love and respect among people ... thanks brother

I am muslim and I realy find you very honest and lovable.
I ask God to open your heart to Islam.

Salam (or Shalom), dear son of Ibrahim, your video is very interesting. I would you sujjest an other very important similarity between Islam and Judaism: the "ablution" before the prayer. This is in the Coran and also in the Taurah, and also after sexual relations, biological needs and after the sleeping; in our religion this things induce the Muslim (before the prayer) to do the ablution in order to return "pure", in taharah.

As a Muslim I greet u all my Jewish brothers, each day I watch videos about Judaism and each day l respect u and your religion more and more

[farziranm]

As a Muslim I love by Jewish brothers and sisters. They protect the oneness of God. They pray daily keep kosher follow the law.

Jews and Muslims should be together not divided hopefully we will

[baltibay]

Shalom Brother, your videos are great, as a Muslim, I've always thought there are many fundamental similarities between the two religions, its great to hear that Jew have the same thoughts and your videos have taught me so much more about Judaism. I've always wanted to know more about Judaism but I've heard through rumours that Judaism used to be a missionary religion at some point in history but changed from that. It would be great to get insight to this from you because I have a perception of Judaism of being secretive or we just don't know enough about it due to lack in the number of religious jew compared to religious Muslims or Christians.

[AvrahamYairStern]

I certainly did enjoy this video! I really appreciate that unlike most YouTubers, you don't worry about presentation of the video, you may make a couple of mistakes, you might forget that you left your groceries behind you, but you don't care, because you realize what is really important is the content in the words of which you speak and the message that you want to transmit! Keep on making these sorts of videos, and please keep them the way they are, not many YouTubers are like you anymore.

Iam a practicing Muslim and I found your channel just now.I was so excited that I ended up watching more than ten videos haha❤️😆
We need more people like you from both side who focus on spreading God's message.❤️❤️
And u r subscribed my brother(cousin to be precise😉😂❤️)

[AmjadAli-upuw]

Why are we fighting each other, we are related by blood. We share so many things, it is almost stupid to be fighting and not cooperating with each other. But we pray to the same Good as well.

[solrex]

Is really great and pleasant to hear the way you explain the similarities between both religions, with such tone of respect and humility; we need more people like you from all sides that are able to understand and respect each one believes, At the end of the day we do all pray to our one and only God the Almighty Adonai / Allah who reside inside us; blessings for you and your family and for all the readers and subscribers in this channel. Amen

[shadwabarghash]

Eating with right hand is "Sunna" (as the prophet did, thus preferable but not must).
About the bathroom, we have short recitations upon entering and exiting it (like the concept of short recitation before/after eating)

[atharpavaskar]
