Prayer in all religions How did Abraham pray? “…Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, ...” [Genesis 17:3] How did Moses pray? “...Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshipped..” [Exodus 34:8-10] How did Jesus pray? “...Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed..” [Matthew 26:39] How did Muhammed pray? “O believers! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do ˹what is˺ good so that you may be successful.” [Quran 22:77] Muslims follow paths of all previous messengers as God instructed in Quran: “Or did you witness when death came to Jacob? He asked his children, “Who will you worship after my passing?” They replied, “We will ˹continue to˺ worship your God, the God of your forefathers—Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac—the One God. And to Him we ˹all˺ submit.”[02:133]
