(٤٤)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?There <strong>is</strong> no doubt that prostrating <strong>is</strong> an indication of w<strong>or</strong>ship, but itdoes not mean that all prostrating must be w<strong>or</strong>ship. Prostrating couldbe to show esteem and gl<strong>or</strong>ification; as Abraham (PBUH) prostratedhon<strong>or</strong>ing the people of Hath, “Abraham rose and bowed to theHittites, the people of the land.” (Gen. 23/7).Jacob (PBUH) and h<strong>is</strong> family prostrated to Esau, the son of Isaac,when they met him. (Gen. 33/3-7)Moses (PBUH) prostrated to h<strong>is</strong> father in law when he came fromMedian to v<strong>is</strong>it him (Ex. 18:7), and Joseph’s brothers (PBUH)prostrated to him not to w<strong>or</strong>ship, but to hon<strong>or</strong> him. (Gen. 42:6).All these examples and many m<strong>or</strong>e do not mean m<strong>or</strong>e than respect,and the same goes f<strong>or</strong> prostrating to Jesus (PBUH).
