POPE II: Why Mohamed didn't destroy the kabba ?
Can you destroy the pagan artefacts without destroying the shrine?

Why do you pray in direction of the kabba and in Arabic only, isn't Allah supposed to b omniscient, omnipresent,omnipotent ?

POPE II: Why Mohamed didn't destroy the kabba ?

A futile attempt to destroy the Ka'aba had once been made by a Christian ruler of Yemen by the name Abraha, before the Prophetic calling of Prophet Muhammed(saw).

The story is in Al-quran, Surat Al-fil (The Elephant. 105:1-5.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_of_the_Elephant -

Christian source of the story of Araha: http://www.dacb.org/stories/ethiopia/_abraha.html

POPE II:
Can you destroy the pagan artefacts without destroying the shrine?
The ka'aba was nt built for Idols, and was not built by Pagan.

Once Ismail had become a youth, he married from the tribe of Jurhum, Ismail was the Custodian of the Sacred House (Ka'aba) and after he died, he made is son Nabit his successor, Nabit to his uncle from Jurhum. Then Ibn Amr al-Jurhami assumed the burden of the affairs of the Sacred House (Ka'aba). Jurhum's custodianship of the sanctuary lasted a period of time. Then they started to become weaker in faith, putting the continuing sanctity of the Sacred House to peril...

The first one of the Khuza'ah to govern the sacred house was Amr bin Rabiah, who travel to Syria-palestine (Al-shami) to seek a cure for a disease he was suffering from. He found the people there worshiping Idols, he bought one and brought it back to Mecca and called it Hubal. Amr Ibn Rabiah then was the first to change the Monotheistic religion of Abraham and Ismail of the Arabs...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banu_Khuza'a

In the bible, Abraham truly built a Temple, but it has never been found till now.

POPE II:
Why do you pray in direction of the kabba and in Arabic only, isn't Allah supposed to b omniscient, omnipresent,omnipotent ?
Muslims' congregation prayer (Salat) towards Ka'aba is to oblige the command of Allah.

Befor, during and after Jesus' ascension, Jews have been facing Temple mount when observing their congregation prayer.

Jews, temple in America, England, France... face Temple mount.
Jesus met them facing one direction and he never complained, rather, his Gospel was to call people to pray 3 times a day facing temple Mount.
There is a clear verse in the NT that indicated that the well guided Disciples of Jesus prayed after the ascension of Jesus, the same way the the Jews used to and still praying.

Like Jews, muslims face the Ka'aba when observing congregational prayer(salat).

And invoke Allah's blessing (Dua') in which no rules is applied.

Muslims Pray in Arabic due to many reasons, Unity- it is highly recommended that u observe Salat in group.
But you are in China where they were praying in Chinese, even though, u can hear them rapping in their language but since u can't understand what they talking about. what would happen? u've just missed a bonus from the Almight God.

And it is a pity that you are not yet a Muslim, if you are, u would understand how one feels when reciting Al-quran in Arabic.
Allah doesn't literally mean God, It is more than that.

The Kaaba is a sacred house from the day of its physical erection. however, it was defiled with Idols by Meccan pagans, but it was sanctified once and for all by Prophet Muhammed(saw) during the conquest of Mecca.

Nothing wronged with the sanctity of the Ka'aba except the Idols inside it, and that is why Prophet Muhammed(saw) would face the Ka'aba in prayer for 13 years before it sanctifying.

Ka'aba is currently serving it purpose.

Wanna ask a question. Why is that even when muslim's are working on the road, they will be meditating with their bead?. Must they show-off so that everybody will notice that they're praying or what?
Re: Do Islam Really Worship The Almighty God Or Moon-god?. by harbiola1(m): 9:25pm On Dec 16, 2013
FrancisTony: the word GOD have been existing since. GOD is meant for supernatural almighty, the creator of heaven and earth. And those that worship pagan and idol own is god not GOD.
Short Note:
The earliest uses of the word God in Germanic writing is often cited to be in the Gothic Bible or Wulfila Bible, which was the christian bible as tranlated by wulfila into the Gothic language spoken by the eastern Germanic or Gothic tribe.

During the fourth century, the Goths were converted to christianity, largely throgh the efforts of Bishop Ufilas who translated the bible into the Gothic language in Nicopolis ad istrum in today's northern Bulgaria. the words Guda was used for God in the Gothic Bible.

Some variants forms of the name Odin such as the lombardic Godan may point in the direction that Lombardic form actually comes from Proto-germanic Wudanaz. Wudinaz is the reconstructed Proto-germanic name of a god of Germanic paganism, known as Odin in Norse mythology, Woden in Old English, Wodan or Wotan in Old high Germanic and Godan in the Lambordic language.

Godan was shortened to God over time and was adopted/retained by the Germanic peoples of the British isles as the name of their deity, in Lieu of the latin word Deus used by the latin speaking christian church after conversion to christianity.

@your question. Was allah a biblical God or pre-islamic deity worshipped as moon? Waiting in anticipation *GRIN*

Allah is the Arabic word for God (Literally "the God" as the initial "Al" is the definite article. It is used mainly by Muslims to often, however not exclusively, by Baha'is, Arabic-speakers and Indonesian and Maltese Christians and Mizrahi Jews.

The corresponding Aramaic (Generally agreed to have been spoken by Jesus and His disciples) form is "Elaha" ( "Elah"-God, "a"- the), in Biblical Aramaic and Alaha in Syriac as being used by the Assyrians. All from the root word El/Il.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah

Hubal was the chief idol in arabia, housed in the Ka'aba.

Hubal was never refered to as Allah.

Two was distinct even from Meccan pagan arab.

Hubal was a foreign idol, so it was never associate with with the word Allah. Unlike others - Manat, Uzza, Lat which they, out of ignorance used to call daughters of Allah.

Because their Christian counterpart used to say "Mother of Allah" (i.e Mary), Son of Allah (i.e Jesus).

POPE II: Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illallah “I bear witness that there is no god except Allah
There are many gods then as there are many gods now.

The statement literally means:
I bear witness that there is no other god who deserves to be worshiped except Allah.
Note: Allah has/will never be personified.
I know Olorun-Olodumare has/never never been personified...

Look around to know the name of supreme Diety in other languages that has never being personified; That is Allah, Elaha, Alaah... in another language which deserves our Worship and Praise.

POPE II:

True the origin of "the dead man on a cross" is from the Greek God Dionysus.

Investigate and get to know please.

You are in seedless denial. Stop denying the truth

No one worships images before, it's admiration.

as I also say, you religious people lack education and knowledge of the outside

Idolatry is not worship of idols, it's admiration. Wat muslims do by keeping pictures of kaaba is idolatry.

See Mr. Tony(I don't know if u don't deserve the Mr)

You are ALWAYS wrong

The word "God" is an English word from the German word "Gott" which means "one that is sacrificed to" or "one that sacrifice is given"

Gott was the title of all the Gods of the Norse/Scandinavian spirituality.

In English sense of the word it still doesn't mean "one God" neither does it mean "creator of heaven and earth" it simply means "higher force"
Yahweh, Allah, Obatala, Sango, Odin, Zeus etc. are all Gods

There's nothing like god and GOD, it's the same word. higher forces are all Gods, gods or GODS not God and god


Allah never appeared in the Bible, Allah has always been the God of Mecca and not Israel. Allah is a pagan God of the Moon in Arabia and Mesopotamia where Abraham came from

captcochrane: @op, wd u guys say Olorun/Olodumare (i dont know if u're yoruba) is an idol? no u wont because they're yoruba translations for God - so, Allah has been d translation 4 God since d beginning of arabian/arabic
nd moreso, wd u say u're forced to read nd write in english in skul because u're igbo/yoruba/hausa? no u wont cos dts wat we regard as standard for education here in nigeria - so arabic is d standard for Islam
u said why didnt our Prophet destroy kabbah? no he didnt nd wouldnt, why? because it was built by prophet Ibrahim AS nd his son; Ismail AS to worship Almighty Allah, so my broda, Muhammad SAW only cleansed d kabbah by ejectin d idolators

Olodumare is a Yoruba pagan God. The supreme God of the universe, and source of all energy in Yoruba spirituality.

Allah is a God, not the Arabic translation for the word "God"

In Hebrew "El" means God, Elohim is for Gods beneath El Elyon

The kaaba was built for Pagan practices it had 360 sacred idols dedicated to Gods, Allah was one of them, Allah was their chief
Re: Do Islam Really Worship The Almighty God Or Moon-god?. by macof(m): 8:32am On Dec 17, 2013
FrancisTony: the translation is allah though but they worship it as the most high God during the pre-islamic era whereas our Nigerian pagan religion during the pre-xtian and muslim era worship the little chi, olodumare etc and still believe there's most high God above! But arabians took allah(moon-god) as their G(g)od.

Shut up. In there's none higher than Olodumare, Chukwu, Osanobua

Allah has always been the most high God in Arabia. His symbols and planetary body was the Moon. He created earth and all life.
Just dat with the coming of Islam, things changed and Mohammed proclaimed his family's God as "only God"

Dude, I might not be sure who built the kaaba but there's no prove that Abraham built it.

Abraham had already left Allah and devoted himself to Yahweh.
Abraham would have to be crazy to build kaaba in honor of another God.

Ps. Abraham was Hebrew, Beginning of a new tribe in canaanland. Technically he was pagan
You need to understand the meaning of "pagan"
