Kaaba in Islam.

Question:

Muhammad SAW was sent as the first and only warner to the Arabs who were deeply entrenched in paganism. However Ismael A.S is also a consider beloved prophet of Allah who informed his sons about the one and only god of the heavens and the earth. However seeing as Ismael A.S was the father of the Arabs, wasn't he a warner as well?

Answer:

Ishmael is not the father of the Arabs. Ishmael, peace be upon him, was a Prophet. His Message, however, was not to last for all time and all places. Like Noah and others, peace be upon them, his Scriptures no longer exist. So the everlasting warner to all Arabs and all of mankind was Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

Islam is the original, not the pagan practices. Original Islam got lost for a while in Arabia after Abraham and Ishmael, peace be upon them, built the Kaaba in Mecca:

[034:044] Although, prior to you We did not give them (the pagan Arabs) a book they could study, nor did We send a warner towards them.

[002:127] And remember the time when Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the house (Kaaba in Meca), praying, `Our Lord, accept this from us; for thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing;

[002:136] Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

All previous Divine Books were prone for either getting lost or badly corrupted. The Glorious Quran is the only exception according to the Glorious Quran's Divine Claim in the Quran. Please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/which_book_recited.htm.

The Glorious Quran is filled with STUNNING Numerical and Scientific Miracles and Prophecies:

Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]

Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind. For example:

1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. See detailed listing here.

Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).

Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

Stunning Prophecies [2] [3]

2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.

3- Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

       -  Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
       - Is rotating around itself.
       - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
       - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]

As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples [1].Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

Islam also thoroughly rejects as man-made lies the Trinity and Crucifixion [2]. Jesus was also thoroughly called slave of GOD [1] in both the OT and NT.

Quran: All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1] قول (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed). See also the 39+ members of trinity. Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.

John 5:30 "I cannot do anything on my own." (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!). I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!! I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!

John 5:31 "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!"

GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses. GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient! Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40) Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.

They (the pagans) had Islam during the times of Abraham and Ishmael, but that Islam later on got lost with time. So pagans took over and injected idols and took what is not theirs and turned it into pagan practices. Similar to hinduism. It wasn't pagan, nor is worshiping the cow and idols and gurus is part of it. Dr. Zakir Naik proved this in several of his lectures before.

Allah Almighty sent our Islam to the Arabs, 1400 years ago, because they had no religion, no Divine Books, no corrupt books like the people of the Book, and they (the pagan Arabs) were fresh and ready for a new Prophet and Islam. Please visit:

The pagans plagiarized Islam:

It is also worth mentioning that it was the pagans who plagiarized Islam, and not the other way around. Allah Almighty made Ishmael a Prophet after the Kaaba was built. So Ishmael and Abraham, peace be upon them, taught the Arabs then how to do the circumambulation (tawaf) around the Kaaba, and to Pray towards the Kaaba, because it is the House of Allah Almighty.

Similarly in the Bible, we find the people, who even pre-dated Judaism, did circumambulation around Jerusalem. Also the Bible prophesied that GOD Almighty will established His House in the desert of Kedar, who is Ishmael's son. This is the Kaaba today.

Muslims and Islam were the believers' original title and religion before Islam.

The Bible's holy stones. They even get anointed with oil.

The black stone is not holy in Islam. It was no more than an asteroid sent by GOD Almighty to determine the location of where the Kaaba to be built by Abraham and Ishmael, peace be upon them. And today, it is placed in one of the Kaaba's corners to mark the start and finish of the 7 circumambulations (tawaaf) around the Kaaba.

Question:

someone said the hajj, tawaf and safa and marwa are pagan? can some refute this? may allah bless!
