For the past few months, Emanuel Adebayor has been releasing family secrets on social media, accusing his family members of betrayal and lack of appreciation.
The latest news came even before the dust had settled down that the Togolese has converted to Islam.
To clear the air and make the record straight he has come out to explain why he is convinced Islam is the only religion which can guarantee him eternal live.
Below is a summary of his justifications:
I GOT 13 VALID REASONS WHY AND HOW MUSLIMS ARE LIKE JESUS (PBUH) AND TRUER FOLLOWERS OF JESUS THAN MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE:
1. Jesus (pbuh) taught that there is only One God and Only God should be worshipped as taught in Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29. Muslims also believe this as taught in the Qurโan verse 4:171.
2. Jesus (pbuh) didnโt eat pork as taught in Leviticus 11:7 , and neither do Muslims as taught in the Qurโan verse 6:145.
3. Jesus (pbuh) greeted with the words โas salaamu alaikumโ (Peace be with you) in John 20:21. Muslims also greet each other this way.
4. Jesus (pbuh) always said โGod Willingโ (inshallah), Muslims say this too before doing anything as taught in the Qurโan verses 18:23-24.
5. Jesus (pbuh) washed his face, hands, and feet before praying. The Muslims do the same.
6. Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets of the Bible prayed with their head to the ground (see Matthew26:39). Muslims do too as taught in the Qurโan verse 3:43.
7. Jesus (pbuh) had a beard and wore a throbe. It is Sunnah for Muslim men to do the same.
8. Jesus (pbuh) followed the law and believed in all the prophets, (see Matthew 5:17). Muslims do too as taught in the Qurโan verses 3:84, and 2:285.
9. Jesusโ mother Maryam (pbut) dressed modestly by fully covering her body and wearing a headscarf (hijab) as found in 1 Timothy 2:9, Genesis 24:64-65, and Corinthians 11:6. Muslim women modestly dress the same as taught in the Qurโan verse 33:59.
10. Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets of the Bible fasted up to 40 days (see Exodus 34:28, Daniel 10:2-6. 1Kings 19:8, and Matthew 4:1-Muslims do so also during the month of Ramadan. Muslims are required to fast the full obligatory
30 days (see Qurโan 2:183), and others take it a step further by fasting an additional 6 days to increase their rewards.
11. Jesus (pbuh) taught to say โPeace to this houseโ when entering it (see Luke 10:5), and to also greet the people in the house with โpeace be unto youโ. Muslims do exactly what Jesus did and taught. When we enter our homes and the homes of others we say โBismillahโ and also greet with โas salaamu alaikumโ (peace be upon you) as taught in the Qurโan verse 24:61.
12. Jesus (pbuh) was circumcised. Circumcision is 1 of the 5 fitrah in Islam, so Muslim men are required to be circumcised. According to the Bible in Luke 2:21, Jesus was eight days old when he was circumcised. In the Torah, Allah/God stated to the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) that it is an โEverlasting covenantโ (see Genesis 17:13). In the Qurโan verse 16:123 Muslims are required to follow the religion of Abraham. The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said, โThe Prophet Abraham
circumcised himself when he was eighty years old.โ (see Sahih hadith Bukhari, Muslim, and Ahmad).
13. Jesus (pbuh) spoke aramaic and called GodโElahโ, which is pronounced the same as โAllahโ. Aramaic is an ancient, Biblical language. It is one of the Semitic languages that also include Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic and the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian language of Akkadian.
The AramaicโElahโ and the Arabic โAllahโ are the same.
The Aramaic โElahโ is derived from the Arabic โAllahโ, and it means โGODโ. โAllahโ in Arabic also meansโGODโ, the Supreme GOD Almighty. You can easilysee the similarity in their pronunciation so this concludes that the God of Jesus is also the God of the Muslims, of all mankind, and all that exist.
Now tell me who is the real follower of jesus (pbuh)? Obviously Muslims. Now I believe am a true follower of Jesus PBUH
Adebayor has just joined Aston Villa FC from Tottenham and he is expected to play for the team in the opening game during the weekend.
The player claimed on his Facebook Page that one of the reasons he is not scoring of late is because his jealous mother bewitched him.
