Hare Krishna!!

I was speaking to my muslim friend about both of our religion, and she asked me some of these questions which I couldn't answer her with my knowledge.

I will be so grateful if anyone can give me a perfect or good answers.

Questions

1. How do we know that the picture of Krishna or the deity form of Krishna is how He looks like?

2. In Islam, it is wrong to attribute the bodily concept of human with God but how come Krishna's spiritual form also has the body of human?
Isn't it wrong to say that he has the same body as us such as hands, face, eyes etc

3. It is wrong and not accepted to worship another human as God but how is it acceptable to worship the Lord in the same form as us as a deity or an image?

4. Islam teaches to love God without worrying about how he looks like, so in that point of view, isnt it better to worship the Lord without worrying about his form and surrender to him, rather than worshipping a deity?

5. If there was a blind Krishna devotee, then how would he able to have darshan of the Lord? So isn't Islam way of worshipping the Lord better and practical? :?

6. How would a deaf and dumb(cannot speak) Krishna devotee will be able to chant the maha mantra to purify himself and become Krishna consciouss if the devotee can't hear his chanting or actually chant the mantra?

Sorry if I offend anyone by asking these questions, I just wanted to know what Krishna Consciousness teaches about Deity worshipping and Krishna's image so I can clarify my misconception about my Lord and tell others.

Also,

7. Why do we have dreams when we are sleeping?

8. If a grass has a soul, then how does that soul become liberated since by stepping on the grass doesn't actually kill the grass?

9. How come Hinduism as a whole promote vegetarianism and prohibit eating meat even though plants and vegetation has souls just like us?
Just because we cannot hear the plants cry in pain when we harvest them like the way we can hear the animals die when it is being slaughtered, then how come it is ok to be a vegetarian? Shouldn't we be also be not allowed to eat plants and vegetables?

Sorry if i offended anyone with email.

Thanking you in advance

Sri Krishna ki Jay!!!!

Hare Krishna!

Thank you so much for your time by answering my questions, highly appreciate it.

I'm starting to read the Bhagavad Gita.

I will give those questions to my friend but most of the muslims will more likely to say that it is a test given to the individual, lol.

I hope she won't repeat the same answer as the rest.

Thank you

Krishna ki jay!!
