: : : 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.

: Horses for courses once again I guess.  I take all your points and thank you for your moderation.  Although we agree to disagree, it is a pleasure to debate with you.

: Peace be with you.
