Roots In Paganism by parisbookaddict(f): 7:56pm On Aug 26, 2015 |
Ibn `Umar said: “Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) faced the Black Stone, touched it, and then placed his lips on it and wept for a long time.” Likewise, `Umar also wept for a long time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘ O `Umar, this is the place where one should shed tears.”’ (Reported by Al-Hakim who considers it a sound Hadith with a sound chain of authorities) Muhammad touched and kissed the Black stone. He “placed his lips on it and wept for a long time.” If this is not idolatry, then what is it? In view of his pagan past, Muhammad needed something tangible that connects him to Allah. Thus, he submitted to idolatry. That is why he also stated that the Black Stone “is the place where one should shed tears.” And Umar gave in to blind allegiance. God warned the Israelites to avoid an entrapment of Satan – an entrapment that Islam, centuries later, failed to escape. Leviticus 26:1: “Do not make for yourselves worthless idols. You must not erect for yourselves a carved statue or a sacred pillar and you must not put a STONE as a sacred showpiece in your land to bow down toward it. I am Jehovah your God.” Can any warning be clearer than this? It is commonly taught that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the three monotheistic world religions, and many a time it is implied that all the adherents of these three religions pray to the same God. Nothing could be further from the truth than this. Islam is heathenism in monotheistic form. There is no place for any form of idolatry, whatsoever, in Christianity. 1 John 5:21: “Guard yourselves from idols.” This gives us a legitimate reason to reject Islam. Now let us begin There are many unanswered questions about Islam and it strong association with paganism. For example; 1. Mohammed's Pagan father was called Abdullah, which means slave of Allah long before Mohammed started Islam. 2. The crescent moon and star is seen high above almost every mosque not to mention the moon god was allegedly one of the 360 gods of the kabba. 3. The muslim obsession with black clothes. 4. The Islamic black flag. 5. The kissing of the black stone done by Muslims which was started by Mohammed for no apparent reason. 6. The circling of the kabba. 7. Compulsory pilgrimage for Muslims which was done by pagans in mecca before Islam. 8. Bowing down and facing mecca when praying. Etc 9. Cultural Superstitions and unfounded hate for wall geckos, dogs(mans best friend), cats etc All these are some of the red flags that indicate that there maybe more to Islam than meets the eye. These pagan practises are not seen in Judaism and Christianity which Mohammed claims are people of the book and says he is one of their "prophets". Could Islam be the worlds largest monotheistic pagan religion. Let's look at more evidence. Muhammad was born of pagan parents. His father,Abdullah and his mother,Amina were both pagans and they used to worship many idols. His entire childhood (probably up to his teen) was spent in paganism. Today, many Muhammadans will find it extremely hard to digest this fact. However,Muhammad's pagan origin is disclosed by Hisham ibn al- Kalbi. On page 17 of his important work,Kitab al-Asnam(The Book of Idols)he writes: 'We have been told that the Apostle of Allah once mentioned al-Uzza saying, "I have offered a white sheep to al-'Uzza,while I was a follower of the religion of my people." In the statement above Muhammad clearly admits his past adherence to paganism - the then religion of the Quraysh. When Muhammad became an adult and started to attend the annual assembly of poets at Ukazhe was deeply impressed and moved by the thoughts, eloquence, sentiment, freethinking and humanism expounded by many of those poets. He started questioning the idol-worshipping and began to start preaching a new concept of one God,the creator-similar to the concepts of the Jews and the Christians of that time. Nonetheless, he was confused as to which god ought to be his God. Allah,at that time, was the supreme god of the pagan Quraysh. From Muhammad's perspective, their only fault was that besides Allah,they used to worship as the intercessors with Allah the supreme god, other smaller gods/goddesses like: Hubal, Al-lat, Al-Uzza, Manat…etc. So, at the start of his new concept of an almighty creator,Allah was out of his mind. Besides, at that time the magicians, the soothsayers, the sorcerers, and even the Satan worshippers used to vow byAllah. Thus, Muhammad,at the very beginning, found it utterly despicable to make Allah his God (ilah). During those pagan days the people of Yemen used to worship another deity whose name was Ar-Rahman. Muhammad,for a while, adopted the name Ar-Rahman for God in place ofAllah. Coincidentally,Ar-Rahman was also the Jewish word Rahmana which was a name for God in the Talmudic period. (Noldeke: The Koran, The Origins of the Koran, p.53). Muhammad cleverly thought that by using the word Ar-Rahman he ought to be able to attract to his new ‘religion’, theJewsas well as some pagans. *** Please note that no where in the Quran does Allah say that he has 99 additional names including Ar-Rahman. In fact these 'names' are Allah's ATTRIBUTES/ SIFAT and NOT NAMES *** So, when he declared himself to be the messenger ofAr- Rahman,theMeccans,too, were at a loss and confused. The Meccans did not know of any Ar-Rahman,other than the Ar-Rahman of al-Yamamah (some writers say Ar-Rahman,was atYemen). When we read, with an unbiased mind, the first50 Suras(in chronological order)of theQuran,we note Muhammad’s confusion regrading Lord, Allah and Ar-Rahman. He was quite unsure of whom he should consider as hisGod (Ilah). Here is a summary of the first50 Suras regarding Muhammad’s idea of hisGod: Only Lord—68, 92, 89, 94, 100, 108, 105, 114, 97, 106, 75 (11 Suras) Ar-Rahman, Lord—55, 36 (2 Suras) Ar-Rahman, Allah, Lord—20 Allah, Lord—96, 73, 74, 81, 87, 53, 85, 50, 38, 7, 72, 25, 35, 56, 26, 27, 28, 17 (18 Suras) This demonstrates Muhammad’s initial vacillation, confusion and ignorance of the affairs of hisGod (Ilah). The Quran also confirms that when he started to preach his brand of faithMuhammadwas lost, confused and did not know much of religion. Here is what the Quranwrites: 93.7 And He found thee wandering,and He gave thee guidance. 12.3We do relate unto thee the most beautiful of stories, in that We reveal to thee this (portion of the)Qur'an:before this,thou too was among those who knew it not 42.52And thus have We, by Our Command, sent inspiration to thee:thou knewest not (before) what was Revelation, and what was Faith;but We have made the(Qur'an)a Light, wherewith We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight Way ,- *** Previously,Muhammad,as aPAGAN,was heedless of earlier revelations *** Initially,Muhammad even eulogized the important gods (or idols) of the pagans by agreeing with the Quraysh- at some point that these gods were the intercessors ofAllah(The Satanic Verses).On the same page Hisham ibn al-Kalbi writes: TheQuraysh were wont to circumambulate theKa'baand chant: 53.19ByAllat and al-'Uzza, 53.20AndManah,the third idol besides. 53.21 Verily they are the most exalted females/cranes[Gharaniq] 53.22 Whose intercession is to be sought. These were also called"the Daughters of Allah: al Lat, al Uzza & al Manat"and were supposed to intercede beforeAllah. Muhammad,in a moment of desperation and weakness, to try and bring his Quraysh tribe to his way of thinking, compromised his monotheism by allowing himself to state that he received theABOVE'revelation'fromAllah. The above represent theSATANIC VERSEScontroversy, where by Satan allegedly was able to easily mislead Muhammad into allowing his followers to have partners withAllah,as they had under paganism; that is to allow the three daughters ofAllah to share his divine throne by being intercessors between humanity andAllah. When Muhammad realised that he had compromised his Monotheism,he later very conveniently, ABROGATED verses 21 & 22 and replaced them with the following: 53.19Have ye seenLat. and 'Uzza, 53.20And another, the third (goddess),Manat? 53.21What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female? 53.22Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair 53.23These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord! *** To cover up the fact that he had compromised his monotheism,Muhammad found that the bestSCAPE GOAT is to very conveniently blame the unsuspecting :SATAN. If u are still unconvinced that Islam is rooted in paganism then read below Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 23: Narrated By ‘Asim bin Sulaiman: I asked Anas bin Malik about Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Mecca). Anas replied, “We used to consider (i.e. going around) them a custom of the PRE-ISLAMIC PERIOD OF IGNORANCE, so when Islam came, we gave up going around them. Then Allah revealed, ‘Verily, Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Mecca) are among the SYMBOLS OF Allah. So it is not HARMFUL of those who perform the Hajj of the House (of Allah) or perform the Umra to ambulate (Tawaf) between them. ’” ( Surah 2:158) [End of Quote] Surah 2:158: “Lo! (the mountains) As- Safa and Al-Marwah are among the indications of Allah. It is therefore NO SIN for him who is on pilgrimage to the House (of Allah) or visiteth it, to go around them ( as the pagan custom is).” (Pickthall) How can the very same two mountains that were sacred to the PAGAN become the “SYMBOLS OF Allah” all of a sudden? Moreover, how is it that the very same pagan ritual of running between the two hills is also retained in Islam? In addition, why was the Arab pagan ritual of going around the Ka’ba seven times, also retained in Islam? In the Hindu marriage rite of Saptapadi, the married couple circumnavigate the fire seven times. In the Islamic ritual of Tawaf, Muslims also circumnavigate the Ka’ba seven times. In both of these rituals, religious phrases are repeated during the circumambulation. Some of the rituals that Muslims follow during the Hajj are the same as the rites observed by Hindus in their worship of Shiva. SIMILARITIES OF ISLAM AND HINDU Take note of some of the striking similarities: (1) Both Hindu and Muslim male devotees are required to shave their heads during their pilgrimage. (2) And similar to their Hindu counterparts, male Muslim pilgrims are also required to dress in a garment consisting of two sheets of white cloth. This type of garment is known as Dhoti in Hinduism. (3) Just as the worshippers of Shiva observe a rite in which they walk around their object of reverence seven times, Muslim pilgrims also walk around the Ka’ba seven times. (4) Both their objects of reverence are Black Stones. In Hinduism, the Black Stone is known as Shiva lingam. (5) While Hindus drink water from the Ganga River as part of the sacred rites in their worship of Shiva, Muslims drink from the Well of Zamzam during the Hajj. (6) Additionally, the Crescent moon, which is associated with the Hindu deity Shiva, is also a symbol for Islam. In the Hindu portrayal of the Shiva symbol, the crescent moon is always painted across his forehead. Moreover, in every portrayal of Shiva, there is always a depiction of a snake curled around his neck. Weirdly, in pre-Islamic times, Allah is supposed to have sent a snake to guard the treasures of the Ka’ba. It may surprise Muslims to know that Umar, the 2nd Caliph of Islam, had reservations about kissing the pagan Black Stone. As u do more research on Islam you see more evidence for yourself.

ByfireByfire:You're simply a lunatíc WHEN IT COMES TO A BARBARIC AND BRUTAL RELIGION, NO RELIGION BEATS CHRISTIANITY. ONLY THAT YOU PEOPLE A DISOBEDIENT HYPOCRITES. Your stupíd religion is far worst and brutal than any religion to ever exist. How can a sane human call the bible the world of God? As long as brutality, idol worshiping, sex promotion, "pedophilěling" and all sorts of immoralities are concerned, THE BIBLE HAS IT ALL. CHECK THIS SHÎTS OUT *Any person who curseth his mother or father, must be killed. ( Leviticus 20:9 ) Have you ever done that? What da fùck * If a man cheats on his wife, or vise versa, both the man and the woman must die. (Leviticus 20:10 ). I wonder if Dr. Laura would like that one to be enforced? * Psychics, wizards, and so on are to be stonedto death. (Leviticus 20:27 ) hmn * If a priest's daughter is a LovePeddler, she is to be burnt at the stake. (Leviticus 21:9 ) hmn Omg! Your God even hates black people * People who have flat noses, or is blind or lame, cannot go to an altar of God (Leviticus21:17-18 ) ANOTHER SHOCKER * If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God, kill them. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10 ) Wow! CHRI SATANITY IS SUCH A "PEACEFOOL" RELIGION Hmmm ! *** Kill anyone with a different religion. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7 ) This shows you that it really is scary that people want to make the Bible part of the law. Not to mention it sheds light on why Christians are so overly oppressive to those who don't share their belief. Sick, sick, sick. It can also be said that any person who uses the Bible to justify beating a homosexual, is a hypocrite if he doesn't adhere to all of these laws. Please tell me which worst in your so-called word of God stupíd Bible *Exodus 21:7-10 covers the rules of selling your daughter [b] for sex , her master making her marry him, and then her role if he wants more wives. I see the woman's viewand feelings mattered quite a bit here. ** Exodus 22:16-17 is a real good one. If a man sleeps with an unwed virgin , he must marry her. But if her father refuses to give her to the man, then the man must pay the "pay money according to the dowry of virgins"... is this crazy or what? I can see it now... See this Man: Hi sir, I just fùcked your virgin daughter, and now must marry her. Father: There is no way my little girl is marrying you, punk! Man: Okay, well then here's the $5 I have to give you then. Father: YAY!!! *** In Deuteronomy 22:28-29 it says that if a manrapěs a virgin, he must marry her and also pay her father 50 shekels for humbling her. How wild is that, do you think that would fly today? AND THE GREATEST OF IT ALL 1 Samuel 18:25-27 may just be one of the most disgusting things ever written . Saul sells his daughter to David. But he didn't want money, noooooo, that would be too normal... HE WANTED 100 PENÍS from Philistine men. David gave him 200 PENÎSES . What the hell is with PENÍS? Couldn't he get ears? Or how about fingers? This is disgusting And women certainly be offended that one of their kind was traded for 200 bits of severed penisěs. Smh Cc mumu op parisbookaddict 2 Likes 1 Share |
