The Bible Prophets, and even the Angels prayed the same way the Muslims do - and this is written in the bible texts.
In this post you will find the pictorial representations of the Prayer/Worship positions in Islam, coupled with the aligning verses from the Bible texts.
See for yourself!
Standing
And Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, - 2 Chronicles 20:5
Kneeling
When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously. - Daniel 6:10
Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep. - Acts 7:60
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. - Acts 20:36
Now as Solomon finished offering all this prayer and plea to the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, where he had knelt with hands outstretched toward heaven. - 1 Kings 8:54
Bowing
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, - Ephesians 3:14,
Prostrating/Falling on his face
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, "O God, the God who gives breath to all living things, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?" - Numbers 16:22
"Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence,and asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?" - Joshua 5:14,
Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them. - Numbers 20:6,
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,- Revelation 7:11.
And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” - Matthew 26:39,
And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. -Mark 14:35,
Today, it is the Muslims who preserve the tradition of worship the Prophets and Messengers were taught.
And this, I have proven with just the bible... nothing more, nothing less.
Will you not think about the fruits we bear? the seeds of which, were sowed millenia ago? Or do you instead, remain blinded by your ignorance and refusal to educate yourselves impartially in the hope to actually learn some truth?
Whatever your motivation, to you be your way, and to me be mine.
Re: The Bible Prophets worshiped GOD Like MUSLIMS.
On VC forum, the first reply was as follows:
And? What implications does this have? One could argue the Hindus pray like the Muslims also.
How would you respond to this ????
This is how to respond.

Different degrees of bowing and prostration, here drawn fromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church
Eastern Orthodox religious liturgical use!!!
In Christianity, the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican churches use full prostrations, lying flat on the floor face down, during the imposition of Holy Orders, Religious Profession and the Consecration of Virgins.
Additionally, in the Roman Catholic Church at the beginning of the Good Friday Liturgy, the priest and his assistance prostrate in front of the altar.
Dominican practice on Good Friday services in priory churches includes prostration by all friars in the aisle of the church. In the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, partial prostrations ("profound bows") can be used in place of genuflections for those who are unable to genuflect. The prostration is always performed before God, and in the case of holy orders, profession or consecration the candidates prostrate themselves in front of the altar which is a symbol of Christ.
Lesser prostrations, lit., "low bows" (zemnoy poklon) involving kneeling and touching the floor with the hands, but with the torso off the floor, are common in Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic rites worship, and are used in conjunction with the sign of the cross, at specific moments during the services and when venerating relics or icons. However, the use of prostrations is traditionally discouraged on the Lord's Day (Sunday), during Paschaltide (Easter season) and on Great Feasts of the Lord. During Great Lent, and Holy Week, prostrations are especially encouraged in all the Eastern Churches (see Prayer of St. Ephraim).
Orthodox Christians will also make prostrations in front of people (though in this case without the Sign of the Cross, as it is not an act of veneration or divine worship), such as the bishop, one's spiritual father or one another when asking forgiveness (in particular at the Vespers service which begins Great Lent on the afternoon of the Sunday of Forgiveness.) Those who are physically unable to make full prostrations may instead substitute metanias (bows at the waist). Oriental Orthodox also prostrate during daily prayers. Syrian Orthodox Christians should prostrate during all daily prayers, except on days which the Holy Liturgy is celebrated. Oriental Catholic rites also use prostrations in a similar way as the Oriental Orthodox Churches.
Ya gotta bring your A-game here pup...
No where left to turn, they wonder if they are truly on the path when they cannot even discern how the Prophets and Messengers of God worshiped HIM.
