So today I came across a group praying In a park. They were praying like Muslims . They put their head to the ground and then Sat up in personal prayer. I spoke with their minister a while. They follow the messianic Jewish bible and Quran. They don't follow any Hadith or tradition. They are very much their own thing. I had never seen anything like it. Some of what they said was a little cooky but was a good chance for me to do dawah with a few of their members that weren't "drinking the kool aid so to speak " . But it was nice conversation with people who at least respect our faith and not think down on us.
Very interesting. So they're not affiliated with any major denomination (Sunni, Shia, Sufi, etc.)? Who pioneered their tradition? Do they have mosques?
they can't be considered as a sect of this ummah, even as a deviant one
Well at least to my understanding from the dude I talked to. I'm going to try to catch them at the park again next week . Maybe they have some literature so I can see what they are really about
interesting.! And Don't forget to share your experience here

Assalamulakum everyone! Well today I am going to go to a meeting with them. Their minister asked to talk with me cause I had so many questions and he is probably the eldest member since he was an original member. He was actually excited to meet a Muslim too . (Which in Houston should be pretty easy we have like 20 masjids in the area and a huge Muslim community lol but it's cool)
Sorry I have been absent lately! Family and work have kept me very very busy. I did pick up a book from them. It does seem that they very much root themselves in Islam but mix it with some unlikely traditions . But things that really aren't too unbelievable. I'll give a better breakdown when I am free this weekend
