Subhanallah, I never knew this. There are many similarities, even in the names of the positions and some of the sayings. At one point he says something to the effect of; “Blessed are You, All-Transcendent One” which seems analogous to our tasbeeh.

Hebrew is a semitic language just as the Arabic and Aramaic, langauge of Issa alayhis salam. Semetic languages share unique style such as the tri-literal root system of the words and the sounds or articulating points. Thats why they sounds very similar. Semetic languages are very old, and one characteristic of their ancient heritage is the writing from right to left.

SubhanAllah. Makes you feel more connected to all the Prophets. How can anyone still doubt this is the Deen of Allah.

SubhanAllah, some of the resemblances are really uncanny. He even gives salaam to his right and left sides when he finishes (at 7:21, the subtitles read: “Then he gives peace to his left and to his right”).

So, Shaykhana, I think the real question is now the following: Can this be used as a daleel to show that the hands must be placed on the upper part of the chest while praying :) just kidding!

JazakAllahu khayran for this very interesting video!
