The Rosary is the Apostles Creed, the our Father, the Glory Be, and quotes from Scripture, along with asking Mary to pray for us, recited while meditating on the Mysteries of Jesus' birth, life, passion & ministry. It is hardly comparable to praying to Muhammad.
If you have any problem involving yourself with any of the above, you might as well be a Muhammadan.

Where are we commended to meditate and if we are to meditate upon what topics are we to meditate ?

Matthew 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,
`Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" [Psalm 118:26]


Barukh haba b'Shem Adonai
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord
Y'shua HaMashiach

Hey Chuck. Long time no post. How've you been?

"Commanded" to meditate may be harsh, but it is certainly not forbiden. It is probably mentioned a couple dozen times in the OT alone. Usually the topics are His ways, His Laws/precepts, His works (which of course would include "His birth, life, passion and ministry"), on God himself, etc.

Do you associate "meditation" with "transendental meditation" or some other new age cr@p?

I would say the very existence of the Gospels is a commendation to meditate on their contents. You could do worse than to meditate, as we do, on the birth, life, ministry and passion of Jesus.
