Thanks for starting a good thread MM.
Here is an important one.
Shalom Alaichem, Aleichem shalom
Salaam Alaikum, Walaikum Salaam.
See we the Muslims follow almost every religious aspect of Jewish people. Circumcision of boys is another example. I guess we focus too much on the negatives and not enough on commonalities.
Iranian Jews in the 1979-1980 period felt right at home among Muslims of Pakistani cities like Islamabad (Shalom Abad), Lahore, and Karachi. Poor things were kicked out of their ancestral homes in Iran where they had lived for generations. Thanks to the AyaTullahs.
Jewish people also cover their head with a Pakistani (more like Sindhi style) style Topi or the Soofiana topi during their religious ceremonies. Arbi style ghotra probably was rejected for being a demagh choos.
Anyway they loved having Muslims among their family gatherings. It was a true eye opener for me as a Pakistani. We beat the drum of claiming Musa elaihissalaam, but know nothing about Musa es's followers.
MM! Keep up the good work for discovering commonalities with other Deens of Allah. May Allah bless your quest for learning. Ameen.
