Prostration in Prayer

﴿ وَيَقُولُونَ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِن كَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفۡعُولٗا ﴾ [الإسراء - ١۰۸]
[Al-Isrāʼ - 107] Say (O Muhammad SAW to them): "Believe in it (the Quran) or do not believe (in it). Verily! Those who were given knowledge before it (the Jews and the Christians like 'Abdullah bin Salam and Salman Al-Farisi), when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration."
Jesus' prostration in prayer reflects a practice similar to Islamic prayer rituals, highlighting a common approach to worship and submission to God in both faiths.
