And who said mohammed regarded Jesus as a Messenger of God? see a muslim desecrating His name! No muslim should ever deceive anybody that 'isa' is the same as 'Jesus'.

just ike the abdullah of preIslam is not the same as Abdallah of Islam of Muhammad (AS) though they have the same name, but different characteristics in worship and the focus of their worship, the former idol and the latter Allah the Almighty,


so is Jesus of the Bible to Isa bin Mariam of the Quran. The former is as same as idol god of the paganic arab but now it is for the Christian, while the latter is a human prophet (AS) to his people, the Bani Israil who for the most part rejected him and still show disdain for him till this very day.


Allah say in the Quran which means about Isa bin mariam, His messenger/prophet to his people, that no one of the people of the Books (Jews and Christians) will die except that they know (at time of death, it will revealed to them) the true position (the Jews will realise he was their Messenger/prophet, the expected Massiah, though not fighting because the time to prescribe fighting for him or not, did not arrive before they started and hatched their plot to kill him, and the Christians will realise he was just a mere human messenger/prophet , the expected Massiah to his people, not to the whole mankind and definitely not a God; God is above all human lkeness) and now have a very late and unacceptable death bed belief about the true nature of Isa bin Mariam which the Muslims know quite well. Read it in the pages of the Quran!

@post :

It is a pity Africans muslims don't know where they belong. All these are nothing but Arab fetishes and traditions.

Sighting the moon is witchcraft.

The moon and the sun are light which God (NOT ALLAH OR BLACK STONE) created to rule the night and day. Whether muslims are starving themselves which they call fasting. The moon will appear when it is time for it to appear. So stop deluding yourself that when the moon is appearing or disappearing.

Other Arab traditions which the foolish African muslim slaves are following are :

A The Ka'ba was the holiest site in pagan Arabia (and continues to be so for the followers of Muhammad).


B Mecca was the centre of pagan Pilgrimage/Hajj as it is today.


C In Mecca, the pagan Quraysh - before Muhammad - already had a supreme god/creator called Allah (a generic composite name of Al Ilah).

In fact, of all the 360 gods and goddesses in the Ka'ba, only Allah had no stone/statue; this is confirmed by the fact that the Quraysh, the tribe of Muhammad, never accused him of preaching another Allah than theirs.

The Jahilyia Arabs - as well as the Jews of Arabia - used to invoke his name regularly just as Muhammadans do so today. The only difference brought about by Muhammad was that he allowed only the god Allah to remain and destroyed all the others.

The Quran itself testifies that Allah is the name of the Almighty among the Arabs, the People of the Book and others long before Muhammad.


D Ramadhan was one of four holiest months in the calendar of the pagan Arabs; Muhammad continued the pagan practice and made it the most important one for his followers.


E The Pilgrimage/Hajj to Mecca was part and parcel of the pagan traditions that Muhammad continued.


F The Black Stone was holy to the pagans and continued to be thereafter by Muhammad and his followers.


G Venerating the Black Stone by kissing it was continued by Muhammad as it was under the pagans.


H The circumambulation (Tawaf) of the Ka'ba was a pagan tradition and is continued by the Muhammadans.


I The wearing of the Ihram (white clothing) was pagan and is also continued.


J The Saii (running seven times between the two hills of Safa and Marwa) was pagan and was continued but redefined by Muhammad to suit his new Cult Belief System.


K Muhammad carried forward many parts of the Sharia rules from the pagan Arabs such as:
Marrying mother and daughter was prohibited; marrying two sisters simulataneously was forbidden; marrying a stepmother was unacceptable.


Many of these were of course already prohibited in the Bible whose influence among the Peninsula Arabs, after almost 1000 years of intermingling, was very important.


L Many acts performed by Muhammad were in common usage among the pagans but were made 'mandatory' through the 'Sunna al Nabawyia' ie the way Muhammad conducted his daily life, such as:
gargling, clipping their finger nails, shaving their pubic hair, sniffing water up their nostrils, washing after intercourse, etc.
{(Al-Milal wa al-Nihil, Muhammad ibn 'Abdalkarim al-Sharastani, Muslim, vol. 2 chapter on the opinions of the pre-Islamic Arabs, as quoted in al-Fadi}


M Zamzam was holy to the pagans and continued under Muhammad.


N Many of the pagans prayed 5 times towards their holy shrines. The Sabeans prayed five times facing Mecca.


Muhammad at first directed his prayers and those of his followers towards 'Jerusalem' but later changed it towards Mecca - also 5 times a day - in spite after the Jews refused to follow and convert to his new 'religion'.


O Circumcision was practiced by some of the pagans but the Quran does not make it mandatory.


P The throwing of stones at the 'devil/jinn' was also a pagan tradition that was continued by Muhammad (at Mina) with the usual relevant redefinitions of the practice to suit his new Cult Belief System.


R The four holy months of pagan Arabia were retained as such by Muhammad and his followers.


S Fasting and abstaining from sexual intercourse at certain times were also
pagan practices that were retained by Muhammad with some appropriate modifications and explanations to suit his agenda.


T The pagan symbols for the crescent moon and the star of Venus are also used by the Muhammdans on their mosques, emblems and flags and are a reflection of the idols of the Quraysh.


Almost the entirety of pagan traditions, fetishes and symbols are carried forward in the 'new religion' of Muhammad.

i know this is an old topic but i cant help but wonder if all you muslims the world over dont worship the same moon??
seeing as theres only one moon,the least you could do in order to minimise the confusion in your religion is to worship one single moon
