: : So what is your point?

: I was just just thinking out loud really.  You were commenting on
: the soul, and I on the body.  The soul, I agree, is more impor-
: tant, and I believe that the cleanliness of the body aids the
: cleansing of the soul as well.

: : I did not say we should not care for our bodies while we are 
: : alive either.

: Didn't say you did.

: : I did say that the cleanliness islam practices can only be 
: : symbolic,

: Which is why I believe it aids the cleansing of the soul.

: :(by the way Islam is not the only religion that practices 
: : symbolic cleaning, it may surprise you that some Christians
: : do to)

: Doesn't surprise me at all.  I was a Christian.

: : Personally  I love it, that we have Islam 
: : (I was once a Muslim).  The more I learn about it,  
: : the stronger a Christian I become.

: I feel the same way, in vice-versa.

: 
: : The Islamic prayers are prescribed prayers,

: This is what I loved about Islam when I first became exposed to
: it.

: : There is a fundemental difference in praying for the sake of 
: : praying and praying for the sake of the soul.

: I agree.  It is a good that Muslims pray for Allah, as
: He commanded, and not just for praying sake.

: But then, as you know, we have both prescribed prayers, voluntary
: prayers, and personal supp;ications.  This means we can pray, as 
: the Bible says, without ceasing.  Allahu Akbar!

: Salaam.

: : Merry Christmas!

: May your holiday be Joyful.

: Salaam.
