Islam and Buddhism
Around Buddhist temples, you can see hundreds of prayer flags attached to
ropes. According to this superstition, prayers written on these flags are more
likely to be fulfilled if carried by the wind. Like other Buddhist ideas, this too is a
myth. Denying the existence of God, Buddhists are at a loss to explain to whom
they are praying or why. In the Qur'an, God reminds us that only prayers ad-
dressed to our Lord, the One and Only God, will be accepted.
