Wondering About Islamic Prayer Practices? A Thoughtful Question from a Catholic Friend

Salam and peace to all. As someone who follows the Catholic faith, I use a prayer book known as the Divine Office for my daily prayers, which often involves kneeling and making the sign of the cross to begin and end. Lately, a dear Muslim coworker has shown interest in joining me during our work break when I pray. It got me thinking-is this appropriate for her from an Islamic perspective? I truly respect her devotion; she prays with such sincerity, and I sometimes join her in her prayers too. I care about her well-being and don’t want to lead her into anything that might not align with her faith. Any insights would be appreciated. May God’s peace and blessings be upon everyone. All praise is to God.

Your respect is amazing. She shouldn't join in the kneeling or cross, as it contradicts Islamic monotheism. But your friendship sounds so pure.

This is heartwarming. It's not permissible for her to join your specific prayers, but your mutual respect is beautiful. God bless you both.

Honestly, such a thoughtful question. We can't take part in other religious acts of worship. Maybe you could just chat about your practices instead?
