Is this a formal greeting or an insult and threat to Allahs omnipotence?

Atheer is seriously drying my patience. Gosh.

Who cares if theyre bowing to each other?

But im with you on that second picture. *high five!*

I think it's formal greeting. It's part of their culture to bow, and, most probably, they don't believe in Islam so they don't know anything about bowing to people is shirk and those kinds of things.

My mom says it's okay to bow to people in respect because your deeds are counted based on your intention and if you intended to bow just to show respect, it's not shirk. But if you bow because you are glorifying the person, then it is forbidden. I also found a source to support my answer :)

That is how Asians greet each other by bowing to each other. Just as Americans greet each other by shaking hands and how Middle Eastern people greety each other by kissing each other. Since most Asian countries are Atheists, they have no knowledge of shirk or Islam.

Allah has decreed that the greetings of a Muslim to another Muslim are the Salaam and shaking of hands which expiates the sins between the two just as He has decreed that the Ruku' (bowing) and the Sujood (prostration) as exclusive acts of worship to Him.

They are just bowing and greeting. How can that possibly threaten an omnipotent, omniscient god?

Omnipotence? Did you learn this word today and decide to use it in a question without knowing it's meaning?

Some people apparently feel no shame. The raafidah believe their imaams have attributes of Allaah, and here this person is talking about 'omnipotence'

Hahaha ! I don't this so ..

Um I don't think so because it is just a greet.

There are two differences in bowing, a greet or bow as in "he is your leader"..

But interesting D:

you noe wat imean D:

its greeting, but i read somewhere that its shirk and haram to bow to anyone except Allah and Personally i think its shirk too.

Salam

He should not make dua infront of pictures...

umm...they're not muslims, so to them it's considered a formal greeting

To us, it's a whole other story

@Asker : And so? You guys bow down to your imams..you think that's permissible?
