Reasons Emmanuel Adebayor Embraced Islam by slimtoney(m): 3:29pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
That a Togolese footballer Emmanuel
Adebayor converted to a Muslim is
no longer news as the Aston Villa
bound striker had also confirmed it.

regalia
The 32-year-old has finally addressed
the issue by giving reasons he
converted to Islam. He justified his new
found faith by saying Muslims are like
Jesus and also described them as” truer
followers of Christ”.
Read below:
1. Jesus (pbuh) taught that there is only
One God and Only God should be
worshipped as taught in Deut 6:4, Mark
12:29. Muslims also believe this as
taught in the Qur’an verse 4:171.
2. Jesus (pbuh) didn’t eat pork as taught
in Leviticus 11:7 , and neither do
Muslims as taught in the Qur’an verse
6:145.
3. Jesus (pbuh) greeted with the words
“as salaamu alaikum” (Peace be with
you) in John 20:21. Muslims also greet
each other this way.
4. Jesus (pbuh) always said “God
Willing” (inshallah), Muslims say this too
before doing anything as taught in the
Qur’an verses 18:23-24.
5. Jesus (pbuh) washed his face, hands,
and feet before praying. The Muslims
do the same.
6. Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets of
the Bible prayed with their head to the
ground (see Matthew26:39). Muslims do
too as taught in the Qur’an verse 3:43.
7. Jesus (pbuh) had a beard and wore a
throbe. It is Sunnah for Muslim men to
do the same.
8. Jesus (pbuh) followed the law and
believed in all the prophets, (see
Matthew 5:17). Muslims do too as
taught in the Qur’an verses 3:84, and
2:285.

9. Jesus’ mother Maryam (pbuh) dressed
modestly by fully covering her body and
wearing a headscarf (hijab) as found in
1 Timothy 2:9, Genesis 24:64-65, and
Corinthians 11:6. Muslim women
modestly dress the same as taught in
the Qur’an verse 33:59.
10. Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets of
the Bible fasted up to 40 days (see
Exodus 34:28, Daniel 10:2-6. 1Kings
19:8, and Matthew 4:1-Muslims do so
also during the month of Ramadan.
Muslims are required to fast the full
obligatory 30 days (see Qur’an 2:183),
and others take it a step further by
fasting an additional 6 days to increase
their rewards.
11. Jesus (pbuh) taught to say “Peace to
this house” when entering it (see Luke
10:5), and to also greet the people in
the house with “peace be unto you”.
Muslims do exactly what Jesus did and
taught. When we enter our homes and
the homes of others we say “Bismillah”
and also greet with “as salaamu
alaikum” (peace be upon you) as taught
in the Qur’an verse 24:61.
12. Jesus (pbuh) was circumcised.
Circumcision is 1 of the 5 fitrah in
Islam, so Muslim men are required to
be circumcised. According to the Bible
in Luke 2:21, Jesus was eight days old
when he was circumcised.
In the Torah, Allah/God stated to the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) that it is an
“Everlasting covenant” (see Genesis
17:13). In the Qur’an verse 16:123
Muslims are required to follow the
religion of Abraham.
The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said,
“The Prophet Abraham circumcised
himself when he was eighty years
old.” (see Sahih hadith Bukhari, Muslim,
and Ahmad).
13. Jesus (pbuh) spoke aramaic and
called God”Elah”, which is pronounced
the same as “Allah”. Aramaic is an
ancient, Biblical language.
It is one of the Semitic languages that
also include Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic
and the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian
language of Akkadian.
The Aramaic “Elah” and the Arabic
“Allah” are the same.
Recently, through his Instagram page,
the former Tottenham player wished
everyone a happy Eid Mubarak along
with a photo of himself being clad
in the popular Arabian white thaw and
an ankle-length white shirt. 1 Like 1 Share |
