Islam and Yoga 11

Misconceptions about Islam we saw in part 3 of this series.

Now let us see clarifications for the misconceptions one by one.
(Misconceptions) are reproduced in brackets to make reading easier 

Arab and Urdu
-(Only Urdu speaking are real or original Muslims.

-Arabic language and Urdu language are one and the same.)

Like Tamil, Arabic is an ancient and classical language. It is the mother tongue of Arabs and many of the Gulf Country people..

Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Sal) in Arabic language only 

Urdu is one of the recognized official languages in India and in many states like Jammu and Kashmir

Around 99% of Urdu verbs have their roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit.^[24]

The relation of languages to Urdu goes in the order:
Standard Urdu>Rekhta Urdu = Dehlavi Hindi> Hindustani>Khariboli>Standard Hindi>Middle Persian>Sanskrit>Arabic and Turkish
Arabic has no relation to Urdu except for loanwords and the origin of script.

No Arabian knows Urdu and all Muslims in India do not know Urdu

The only similarity between Arab and Urdu is that the alphabets look somewhat  alike   

(-Muslims worship a black stone called Kabha)

Muslims’ prayer is only towards Allah, the Invisible, Almighty and the one and only  one to be worshipped,

For uniformity and to express unity Muslims all over the world turn their faces towards Kabha during prayer

Kabha is the first holy  place constructed in the world for the worship of Allah, the only one to be worshipped.

It is a grave sin to worship picture or figure of Kabha 

(-Prophet Mohamed (Sal) is the God or one of the gods of   Muslims)

Prophet Muhammad (Sal) is only a messenger of Allah, the Almighty. He was born as a man and died as a human being. 

To worship Prophet Muhammad  or Kabha is totally an unpardonable sin. It is against the fundamental principle of Islam- Monotheism
