Q11- If Islam is so against any form of idol worship, why do they bow to the kaaba? Why do they call it God's House? Do they believe He lives there?
The sections of this article are:
1- The House/Temple of GOD Almighty in the Noble Quran and the Bible.
Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.
Notice the "I will"
and "toward"
prophecy:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down
toward
your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:
The forgeries NT was documented 200+ years after Jesus. Christianity is filled with church forgeries. The disciples had conflicts with each other. Paul vs. Peter teams were calling eah other cursed, false, liar, satanic! [1]
2- But aren't Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") still physically bowing down to the Kaaba itself?
(a)- The blood of a Muslim Believer
is more precious than the entire Kaaba!
(b)- In
Christianity, the temple is Holy.
See pictures of GOD Almighty by these infidels!
(i)- The Bible's Holiest Temple has idols of creatures
made of gold in it.
(ii)- The portraits of Jesus Christ and GOD Almighty are also images and idols!
(iii)-
The Kaaba during pagan times, with all the idols that were inside it and around
it, is closer in similarity to the
Bible's Holiest Temple!
3- What is the difference then between the hindu idols and
the Kaba?
4- What about the
black stone
near the Kaaba? How sacred is it?
5-
Is the Jews' wailing wall idol worship?
6- The Islamic Rituals of Worship are all supported in the Bible.
7- Islam is GOD Almighty's One and Original Faith to mankind, even
according to the Bible!

No stone is holy in Islam: 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. It was the pagans who plagiarized Islam's practices, not the other way around. The Bible also declares it. The black stone in Islam is NOT sacred. Prophet Muhammad Said: لهدم الكعبة حجرا حجرا أهون من قتل المسلم "Demolishing the Kaaba completely is much easier upon Allah Almighty than shedding the blood of a single Believing Muslim." (Source)
So what is the black stone, and Why? The black stone was a meteorite that was sent down by Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba. The black stone is placed in one of the corners of the Kaaba, and it serves as a starting and ending point for the Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba, which is also 100% supported in the Bible's previous Scriptures. All of Islam's Rituals are 100% supported by the previous Scriptures. Please visit:
https://www.answering-christianity.com/tawaaf_around_kaaba_supported_in_bible.htm
But as the Prophet said in the Hadith above, nothing is Holy about either the Kaaba or the Black Stone. They are not objects of worship. They are only part of Allah Almighty's House of Worship. Also, Islam, Prophet Muhammad, and the House of GOD Almighty (Kaaba) in the Arabian Desert prophesied in the previous Scriptures: The Bible also called the path to Mecca "THE PATH OF HOLINESS". Also visit: Prophet Muhammad thoroughly prophesied in the previous Scriptures, and even found in the Dead Sea Scrolls by his Prophetic Name. Is the Tale of the Army of the Elephants being bombed/struck by the Sijjeel (سجيل) Stones by the Ababeel (أبابيل) Birds, a mere fable or a True Historical Event, in the Glorious Quran?

The Bible's Sacred Idols praised by both GOD Almighty and Jesus: How is bowing to the Kaaba IS NOT bowing to an idol, thus making Islam pagan?
It was the pagans who plagiarized Islam's practices, not the other way around. The Bible also declares it. |
1- The House/Temple of GOD Almighty in the Noble Quran and the Bibles:
To help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the Islamic way of Worship better, I'd like to first present the following from the Bibles:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.
Notice the "I will"
and "toward"
prophecy:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down
toward
your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:
The forgeries NT was documented 200+ years after Jesus. Christianity is filled with church forgeries. The disciples had conflicts with each other. Paul vs. Peter teams were calling eah other cursed, false, liar, satanic! [1]
GOD Almighty's Holy Temple in Islam is the Kaaba in Mecca.
Genesis 28:16-18
16 When Jacob awoke
from his sleep, he thought, "Surely
the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it."
17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This
is none other
than the House of GOD; this is the gate of
heaven."
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his
head and set it up
as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
Judges 20:18
18 The Israelites went up to Bethel
(the House of GOD in
Hebrew) and inquired of God. They said, "Who
of us shall go first to
fight against the Benjamites?" The LORD replied, "Judah shall go first."
1 Chronicles 6:47-49
47 the son of Mahli, the son of
Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of
Levi.
48 Their fellow Levites were assigned to all the other duties of the
tabernacle, the
House of GOD.
49 But Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings
on the altar of
burnt offering and on the altar of incense in connection with all
that was done
in the Most Holy Place, making atonement for
Israel, in accordance with all
that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
"Behold! We
gave the site, To Abraham,
of the (Sacred) House (i.e., the Kaaba),
(Saying): 'Associate not
anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who
compass it round, Or
stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in
prayer). And proclaim the
Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on
foot and (mounted) on every
kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant
mountain highways;
(The Noble
Quran, 22:26-27)"
As we clearly see, the "House of
GOD"Almighty is mentioned
in both the Bible and the Noble Quran. The Prostration to GOD
Almighty in either His
House or in the direction of His House (if you live far away) is the
most
proper way of Worship according to both the
Bible and the Noble Quran.
As we also clearly see, the House of GOD Almighty was mentioned in the Bible first. The Kaba or Kaaba (the black cube building in Saudi Arabia) is basically the symbolic point on earth (His House) that GOD Almighty Chose to have all of His True Believers meet Him through bowing down their faces in humility down to the ground before Him.
The actual bricks and cement that make up the Kaaba are not holy.
Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.
Notice the "I will"
and "toward"
prophecy:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down
toward
your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:
The forgeries NT was documented 200+ years after Jesus. Christianity is filled with church forgeries. The disciples had conflicts with each other. Paul vs. Peter teams were calling eah other cursed, false, liar, satanic! [1]
They are no more holier than the bricks and cement that we see on regular basis in the towns that we live in.
While it is true that many ignorant and illiterate Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") might incline toward idol worship and do consider the actual Kaaba as a very sacred thing to a point where they would go as far as rubbing their bodies against it to get "blessings", but these people are not representing the True picture of Islam. If a person worships the Kaaba itself, then he/she becomes an idol worshiper:
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred) House (i.e., the Kaaba), (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") (bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"
"God forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed. (The Noble Quran, 4:48)"
"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"
The Kaaba is only the House of GOD Almighty and is the meeting place for us to meet the Almighty LORD by bowing down our faces in humility down to the ground before Him in that direction.
GOD Almighty Chose that spot on earth to be the meeting place with Him, because It is His Grand Temple.
We Worship Allah Almighty in His House/Temple. We never worship the Temple itself.
Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.
Notice the "I will"
and "toward"
prophecy:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down
toward
your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:
The forgeries NT was documented 200+ years after Jesus. Christianity is filled with church forgeries. The disciples had conflicts with each other. Paul vs. Peter teams were calling eah other cursed, false, liar, satanic! [1]
Since Allah Almighty ordered Abraham the father of Ishmael and Isaac peace be upon them to build the Kaaba, people called it the House of GOD Almighty, and it became the direction for us to bow down to Allah Almighty in worship:
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred) House (i.e., the Kaaba), (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
So when Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") prostrate to Allah Almighty, they prostrate in the direction that is as close as possible to Him. It was also prophesied in the Noble Quran that people from all over the world would come to the city of Mecca (where the Kaaba is located) for pilgrimage.
Please visit: The detailed story of how the Kaaba was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael peace be upon them.
It was the pagans who
plagiarized
Islam's practices, not the other way around.
The Bible also declares it.
During the early days of Islam, the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") were commanded to bow down to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Farthest Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem, because it was the Holiest Mosque/Temple to worship Allah Almighty in back since it was not defiled with idols. Allah Almighty then commanded Prophet Muhammad to order the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") to prostrate to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, because it was the House of GOD Almighty which was built by Prophet Abraham peace be upon him (mentioned also in the Bible), and because after the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") liberated Mecca in a 10,000 men army (this event was prophesied in the Bible), they cleaned the Kaaba from all idols.
Isaiah 29:12 mentions the first
Quran-Revelation upon Prophet Muhammad in Cave
Hira by
the name. The
Quran's first revelation upon Prophet
Muhammad inside cave Hira.
Isaiah 29:
Mentions
Mecca's precise
cave Hira
(χιρα),
Jireh, Quran & Muhammad.
Please also visit: The Bible also called the path to Mecca "THE PATH OF HOLINESS".
See also: Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba is also by the exact number in the Bible. The Kaaba and pilgrimage to Mecca were also prophesied in the Bible. Also, there possible proof that Prophet Muhammad's name found in the Hebrew of John 18:37-38 [2]. |
From
www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,2281.msg10296.html#msg10296: Wa Alaikum As'salam, Throughout the Old Testament, all Prophets prayed like Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"). They even prayed towards the Holy Temple of GOD Almighty:
Who cares we got other prophets lolAslamu Alaykum Brother Osama David Wood made a New garbage video Doesn't david also know that Jesus said my father & your father My God Your God FYI He also destroy the trinity lol So Osama How do you reponse this video Full?This stupid garbage can't show me where father was called in the Old Testament.. GOD Almighty in Islam and the Bible is called The Gaurdian (المولى). It is mistranslated as "The Father". But Islam came and fixed that: www.answering-christianity.com/1john2_22.htm www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm This is similar to "Daughters of GOD". You don't find this anywhere in the OT. Only "Sons of GOD". Again, Islam came to also fix this term, because they are not Divine Sons of GOD. They are MUSTAFA. It is interesting that both the Glorious Quran and the Bible agree that Abraham was called the FRIEND (خليلا) OF GOD. Visit the links. Again, the Bible thoroughly foretold about the coming of Prophet Muhammad from the lands of Kedar (modern-day Saudi Arabia), and also the establishment of GOD Almighty's HOUSE there: www.answering-christianity.com/predict.htm
And again, simply put: Christianity
is a false religion of conjecture. |
The Bible Declares:
Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.
Notice the "I will"
and "toward"
prophecy:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down
toward
your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:

Also, Prophet Muhammad Said: لهدم الكعبة حجرا حجرا أهون من قتل المسلم "Demolishing the Kaaba completely is much easier upon Allah Almighty than shedding the blood of a single Believing Muslim." (Source) We worship GOD Almighty in the direction of His Grand Temple/House. We never worship the Temple/House itself. The Bible's Prophets in the Bible also had a "House of GOD Almighty" that they worshiped Him in. Also, the Jews' wailing wall today is a similar example to the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more")' Kaaba, where the Jews pray to GOD Almighty facing the wall. And again, the Bible also says:
GOD Almighty's Holy Temple in Islam is the Kaaba in Mecca. Also visit:
The black stone in
Mecca is not worshiped by Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more").
Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by
Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon
both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to
be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and
Ishmael built
the
Kaaba. The black stone is placed in one of the corners of the Kaaba, and
it serves as a starting and ending point for the
Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba,
which is also
100% supported in the
Bible's previous Scriptures. All of Islam's Rituals are 100%
supported by the previous Scriptures.
The Bible's Sacred Birds and Idols: The Bible's Sacred Idols in the OT and NT praised by both GOD Almighty and Jesus: In Exodus 25:1-40, Exodus 37:1-9, Exodus 26:1-20, Exodus 36:8-19, 1 Kings 6:19-38, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 in the Bible, we read about gigantic sacred winged creatures (birds, lairs or big dragons) being made in the Holiest Temple of GOD Almighty, and were placed in the most holy place and also in the place of mercy! They are so holy that GOD Almighty was going to meet Moses in between them! How is this not idol worship? Jesus also said that they are sacred because they're in the temple (the gold is made sacred because it is in the temple: Matthew 23:16-22). The Arab pagans, before Islam, also had idols that they considered very holy! But Islam came and smashed all of them and cleaned the House of Allah Almighty (the Temple of GOD Almighty) from all of them. The Bible, however, remains paganistic for considering idols made of wood and gold in the temple to be holy. Yet, in Exodus 20:1-6, Deuteronomy 5:1-10 we are forbidden from building any image that resembles any creature, whether in Heaven or on earth! How can anybody explain this fundamental contradiction? Read the article below for ample more verses, analysis and details. Also, visit: The Bible's Sacred Black Stones. Literally, see how stones are so holy, that the Believers were forbidden from even chiseling (edging, trimming) them.
The following is from: How is bowing to the Kaaba IS NOT bowing to an idol, thus making Islam pagan?
Question:
Explain to me how bowing to the Kaaba IS NOT bowing in worship and
adoration to the cubic black building there, thus making Islam an
idol-worshiping religion??? |
2- But aren't Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") still physically bowing down to the Kaaba itself?
We've already seen the "House of GOD"Almighty in both the Bible and the Noble Quran above. We've seen how the Prostration to GOD Almighty in either His House or in the direction of His House (if you live far away) is the most proper way of Worship.
Again, to help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the Islamic point better, I'd like to present the following from the Bibles:
Numbers 24:3-5
3 and he uttered his
oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son
of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God,
who sees a vision
from the Almighty, who falls prostrate,
and whose eyes are opened:
5 "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O
Israel!
Deuteronomy 9:17-19
17 So I took the two
tablets and threw them out of my hands,
breaking them to pieces before your eyes.
18 Then once again I fell prostrate before the
LORD for forty days and forty
nights; I ate no bread and drank no water,
because of all the sin you had
committed, doing what was evil in the LORD's sight and so provoking him
to anger.
19 I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough
with you to destroy
you. But again the LORD listened to me.
Deuteronomy 9:25
25 I
lay prostrate before the LORD
those forty days and forty nights because the LORD had said he would
destroy you.
1 Kings 18:39
39 When all the people
saw this, they fell
prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The
LORD -he is God!"
Even Jesus, peace be upon him, bowed down to
Allah Almighty the Islamic way:
"Going a little
farther, he [Jesus] fell
with his face to the ground and prayed, 'My
Father, if it is possible, may
this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you
will.' (From
the NIV Bible, Matthew 26:39)"
When Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") bow down to Allah Almighty in worship at their homes, they do not for instance bow down to the sofa, or to the pair of shoes, or to the table, or to the wall, or to the door, or to the TV, or to any object that is in front of them in their homes. They bow down to Allah Almighty only, regardless what's in front of them AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT WORSHIPING THAT OBJECT. The Kaaba is the same thing. We do not bow down to it in worship in any shape or form. We bow down only to Allah Almighty in its direction because it is His Appointed House where He symbolically meets His Servants and True Believers.
The Kaaba makes the millions of Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") all over the world Pray to Allah Almighty as one unified community.
The direction of the Kaaba not only unifies the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"), but it also maximizes the Glorification and Praising of GOD Almighty.
It maximizes the Glorification of GOD Almighty, because in the 5-daily Prayers, it is not only the individual who is Praising GOD, but also the millions of the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") world-wide (who are on the same time) are doing it almost simultaneously as if they were ONE CLOSE COMMUNITY.
Now in regards to whether Allah Almighty living there or not, no we do not believe that Allah Almighty lives there. Allah Almighty is unlimited and is every where.
By the way, the Orthodox Jews too bow down to GOD Almighty in worship. Below is a picture of how Jews worship Allah Almighty:
Jesus' Original Name: Prophet Jesus' original name was Eesa, as this is also his Islamic name. The article (Eesa) also gives ample Hebrew references and proofs. Even in Latin, it is Iesu, and in Greek it is Iesus. There is also a great deal of evidence that Jesus spoke and preached in Arabic. Not only that, but Greek wasn't even that popular in Palestine. Islam's claims are very strongly supported. See proofs below.
Did early Christians preach Prophet Muhammad in Rome? Did the early believers preach Prophet Muhammad in Corinth, Antioch, Rome and all other places? Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, was the Jews' Messiah and final Prophet. In both the Glorious Quran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ahmed was prophesied to come. Ahmed in the Quran is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name. Also, see below the Dead Sea Scroll image. The New Testament too predicts the coming of three:
1.
Elijah.
John
1:19-21
and
John
7:40-44.

What we have
today from "gospels" and "New Testament" were
written
100 years to 300 years after Jesus'
departure from this earth. So, the current
writings that we have are not original writings.
Also, to appease the Roman Empire's 3-headed
pagan religion and practices, the pagan 3-headed
trinity was invented [1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5].
Many lies had been fabricated after the original
writings were all lost. The Jews and
Christians of Arabia, however, did have writings
that predicted the coming of Prophet Muhammad.
These were some of the original texts that
survived. The early believers were expecting an Arabian Prophet. The OT thoroughly talks about him and his new Covenant coming from Kedar in Arabia, and the NT talks about him coming after the Messiah: Why wasn't Prophet Muhammad preached by the early Christians in Jerusalem, Arabia, Africa and Europe? Early cities like Antioch, Corinth, Rome and others were never taught the coming of Prophet Muhammad. Doesn't this prove that Islam is false? But he was preached! From Why Jews settled in Arabia section:
Jesus also preached in Arabic: See the clear proofs in the following:
Proofs that early Christian believers'
title was Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more")
from the Jews' and Christians sources themselves. Also,
Greek wasn't even the first language in Palestine, nor was it even hardly
spoken by the natives there. Also, ample proofs
that
Jesus also spoke and
preached in Arabic, and
there were many early manuscripts written in Arabic that spoke about the
coming of Prophet Muhammad in details.
Arabic is estimated to date back
8000 to 20000 years by non-Muslim
researchers, and had always been the first language in the entire lands
of the Middle East, North and Central Africa.
Prophet Muhammad foretold,
by the name,
in the previous Scriptures.
We still have texts today and from
the Bible itself and outside the Bible that tell about the coming of
Prophet Muhammad and Islam as the Servant of GOD Almighty and the New
Religion and Covenant of GOD Almighty, respectively.
Important:
In the Bible,
Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"),
Salamays,
Mushlams, Mushlems,
Mushlimana
are the Believers' original title
[1].
Islam came to restore the original Faith
[1].
Prophet "AHMAD" is found in the
Dead Sea Scrolls: |
(a)- The blood of a Muslim Believer is more precious than the entire Kaaba!
Some anti-Islamics tried to compare the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more")' bowing towards the Kaaba to the hindus' deification and glorification of their stones, by making idol gods and holy temples for these gods out of them. Islam is far from this!
The hindus glorification of stones and rocks is not Islamic. We do not worship neither the Kaaba nor the black stone. In fact Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said in his famous saying that:
لهدم الكعبة حجراً حجراً أهون من قتل المسلم
"Demolishing the Kaaba completely is much more
preferred to Allah Almighty than
shedding the blood of a Believing Muslim." (Source)
Why should this be of any surprise, when Allah Almighty had brought down all of
the Angels under the feet of the human-believers when He commanded them to bow
down to Adam?
So no, we do not worship rocks and stones.
Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.
Notice the "I will"
and "toward"
prophecy:
Psalm 138:2
I
will bow down
toward
your holy temple
and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you
have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:
The forgeries NT was documented 200+ years after Jesus. Christianity is filled with church forgeries. The disciples had conflicts with each other. Paul vs. Peter teams were calling eah other cursed, false, liar, satanic! [1]
(b)- In Christianity, the Temple is Holy:
Matthew 23:16-22
16 "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears
by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple,
he is bound by his oath.'
17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold,
or the temple that makes the gold
sacred?
18 You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone
swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'
19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the
gift sacred?
20 Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 And he who swears by the temple
swears by it and by the one who
dwells in it.
22 And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on
it.
This is another example of why Christianity is full of corruption. No temple should be holy enough to equate it with GOD Almighty. By you swearing by the temple and by GOD Almighty, you are in essence making them both equal. This is a form of idol-worship. Notice how even Jesus himself said that the temple makes the gold that is in it sacred, and for the altar also making the gift sacred.
These verses are some of the reasons why you see 'holy idols' of Jesus, Mary, the Angels, and even GOD Almighty (!) in all of the Christians' churches. The Church, as an object, is a holy place to them - so holy that they could and would swear by it. And these idol-objects become holy by the Church.
Please visit: Allah Almighty delcared the false religion of christianity to be no more than a man-made religion of "conjecture".
It was the pagans who
plagiarized
Islam's practices, not the other way around.

(i)- The Bible's Holiest Temple has idols of creatures that are made of gold in it!
From
www.answering-christianity.com/abrogation_in_bible.htm: 1- Making Idols and even considering them Holy: Allowed or Not? Not Allowed: "1God said to the people of Israel: 2I am the LORD your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves. 3Do not worship any god except me. 4Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky or on earth or in the ocean under the earth. 5Don't bow down and worship idols. I am the LORD your God, and I demand all your love. If you reject me, I will punish your families for three or four generations. 6But if you love me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations." (CEV Bible, Exodus 20:1-6) "1Moses called together the people of Israel and said: Today I am telling you the laws and teachings that you must follow, so listen carefully. 2The LORD our God made an agreement with our nation at Mount Sinai. 3That agreement wasn't only with [b] our ancestors but with us, who are here today. 4The LORD himself spoke to you out of the fire, 5but you were afraid of the fire and refused to go up the mountain. So I spoke with the LORD for you, then I told you that he had said: 6I am the LORD your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves. 7Do not worship any god except me. 8Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky or on earth or in the ocean under the earth. 9Don't bow down and worship idols. I am the LORD your God, and I demand all your love. If you reject me and worship idols, I will punish your families for three or four generations. 10But if you love me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations." (CEV Bible, Deuteronomy 5:1-10) "Respect your father and your mother, honor the Sabbath, and don't make idols or images. I am the LORD your God." (CEV Bible, Leviticus 19:3) "[ Blessings for Obeying the LORD ] [ The LORD said: ] I am the LORD your God! So don't make or worship any sort of idols or images." (CEV Bible, Leviticus 26:1) Allowed with Jesus' Confirmation as well! "1The LORD said to Moses: 2Tell everyone in Israel who wants to give gifts that they must bring them to you. 3Here is a list of what you are to collect: Gold, silver, and bronze; 4blue, purple, and red wool; fine linen; goat hair; 5tanned ram skins; fine leather; acacia wood; 6olive oil for the lamp; sweet-smelling spices to mix with the oil for dedicating the tent and ordaining the priests; 7and onyx [a] stones for the sacred vest and the breastpiece. 8I also want them to build a special place where I can live among my people. 9Make it and its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you. The LORD said to Moses: 10Tell the people to build a chest of acacia wood forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 11Cover it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the lid. 12Make four gold rings and fasten one of them to each of the four legs of the chest. 13Make two poles of acacia wood. Cover them with gold 14and put them through the rings, so the chest can be carried by the poles. 15Don't ever remove the poles from the rings. 16When I give you the Ten Commandments written on two flat stones, put them inside the chest. 17Cover the lid of the chest with pure gold. 18-19Then hammer out two winged creatures of pure gold and fasten them to the lid at the ends of the chest. 20The creatures must face each other with their wings spread over the chest. 21Inside it place the two flat stones with the Ten Commandments and put the gold lid on top of the chest. 22I will meet you there between the two creatures and tell you what my people must do and what they must not do. The LORD said: 23Make a table of acacia wood thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 24-25Cover it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it with a border three inches wide. 26Make four gold rings and attach one to each of the legs 27-28near the edging. The poles for carrying the table are to be placed through these rings and are to be made of acacia wood covered with gold. 29-30The table is to be kept in the holy place, and the sacred loaves of bread must always be put on it. All bowls, plates, jars, and cups for wine offerings are to be made of pure gold and set on this table. The LORD said: 31Make a lampstand of pure gold. The whole lampstand, including its decorative flowers, must be made from a single piece of hammered gold 32with three branches on each of its two sides. 33There are to be three decorative almond blossoms on each branch 34and four on the stem. 35There must also be a blossom where each pair of branches comes out from the stem. 36The lampstand, including its branches and decorative flowers, must be made from a single piece of hammered pure gold. 37The lamp on the top and those at the end of each of its six branches must be made so as to shine toward the front of the lampstand. 38The tongs and trays for taking care of the lamps are to be made of pure gold. 39The lampstand and its equipment will require seventy-five pounds of pure gold, 40and they must be made according to the pattern I showed you on the mountain." (CEV Bible, Exodus 25:1-40) "1Bezalel built a chest of acacia wood forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 2He covered it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the top. 3He made four gold rings and fastened one of them to each of the four legs of the chest. 4Then he made two poles of acacia wood, covered them with gold, 5and put them through the rings, so the chest could be carried by the poles. 6The entire lid of the chest, which was also covered with pure gold, was the place of mercy. 7-9On each of the two ends of the chest he made a winged creature of hammered gold. They faced each other, and their wings covered the place of mercy." (CEV Bible, Exodus 37:1-9) "1Furnish the sacred tent with curtains made from ten pieces of the finest linen. They must be woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. 2Make each piece fourteen yards long and two yards wide 3and sew them together into two curtains with five sections each. 4-6Put fifty loops of blue cloth along one of the wider sides of each curtain, then fasten the two curtains at the loops with fifty gold hooks. 7-8As the material for the tent, use goat hair to weave eleven sections fifteen yards by two yards each. 9Sew five of the sections together to make one panel. Then sew the other six together to make a second panel, and fold the sixth section double over the front of the tent. 10Put fifty loops along one of the wider sides of each panel 11and fasten the two panels at the loops with fifty bronze hooks. 12-13The panel of goat hair will be a yard longer than the tent itself, so fold half a yard of the material behind the tent and on each side as a protective covering. 14Make two more coverings--one with ram skins dyed red and the other with fine leather. The LORD said: The Framework for the Sacred Tent 15Build a framework of acacia wood for the walls of the sacred tent. 16Each frame is to be fifteen feet high and twenty-seven inches wide 17with two wooden pegs near the bottom. 18-21Place two silver stands under each frame with sockets for the pegs, so the frames can be joined together. Twenty of these frames are to be used along the south side and twenty more along the north." (CEV Bible, Exodus 26:1-20) "8-9The skilled workers got together to make the sacred tent and its linen curtains woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. Each of the ten panels was fourteen yards long and two yards wide, 10and they were sewn together to make two curtains with five panels each. 11-13Then fifty loops of blue cloth were put along one of the wider sides of each curtain, and the two curtains were fastened together at the loops with fifty gold hooks. 14-15As the material for the tent, goat hair was used to weave eleven sections fifteen yards by two yards each. 16These eleven sections were joined to make two panels, one with five and the other with six sections. 17Fifty loops were put along one of the wider sides of each panel, 18and the two panels were fastened at the loops with fifty bronze hooks. 19Two other coverings were made--one with fine leather and the other with ram skins dyed red." (CEV Bible, Exodus 36:8-19) "11The LORD told Solomon: 12-13If you obey my commands and do what I say, I will keep the promise I made to your father David. I will live among my people Israel in this temple you are building, and I will not desert them. 14So Solomon's workers finished building the temple. 15The floor of the temple was made out of pine, and the walls were lined with cedar from floor to ceiling. 16The most holy place was in the back of the temple, and it was thirty feet square. Cedar boards standing from floor to ceiling separated it from the rest of the temple. 17The temple's main room was sixty feet long, and it was in front of the most holy place. 18The inside walls were lined with cedar to hide the stones, and the cedar was decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. 19The sacred chest was kept in the most holy place. 20-22This room was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high, and it was lined with pure gold. There were also gold chains across the front of the most holy place. The inside of the temple, as well as the cedar altar in the most holy place, was covered with gold. 23Solomon had two statues of winged creatures made from olive wood to put in the most holy place. Each creature was fifteen feet tall 24-26and fifteen feet across. They had two wings, and the wings were seven and a half feet long. 27Solomon put them next to each other in the most holy place. Their wings were spread out and reached across the room. 28The creatures were also covered with gold. 29The walls of the two rooms were decorated with carvings of palm trees, flowers, and winged creatures. 30Even the floor was covered with gold. 31-32The two doors to the most holy place were made out of olive wood and were decorated with carvings of palm trees, flowers, and winged creatures. The doors and the carvings were covered with gold. The door frame came to a point at the top. 33-34The two doors to the main room of the temple were made out of pine, and each one had two sections so they could fold open. The door frame was shaped like a rectangle and was made out of olive wood. 35The doors were covered with gold and were decorated with carvings of palm trees, flowers, and winged creatures. 36The inner courtyard of the temple had walls made out of three layers of cut stones with one layer of cedar beams. 37Work began on the temple during Ziv, the second month of the year, four years after Solomon became king of Israel. 38Seven years later the workers finished building it during Bul, the eighth month of the year. It was built exactly as it had been planned." (CEV Bible, 1 Kings 6:11-38) "1-2Solomon's workers began building the temple in Jerusalem on the second day of the second month, four years after Solomon had become king of Israel. It was built on Mount Moriah where the LORD had appeared to David at the threshing place that had belonged to Araunah from Jebus. 3The inside of the temple was ninety feet long and thirty feet wide, according to the older standards. 4Across the front of the temple was a porch thirty feet wide and thirty feet high. The inside walls of the porch were covered with pure gold. 5Solomon had the inside walls of the temple's main room paneled first with pine and then with a layer of gold, and he had them decorated with carvings of palm trees and designs that looked like chains. 6He used precious stones to decorate the temple, and he used gold imported from Parvaim 7to decorate the ceiling beams, the doors, the door frames, and the walls. Solomon also had the workers carve designs of winged creatures into the walls. 8The most holy place was thirty feet square, and its walls were covered with almost twenty-five tons of fine gold. 9More than a pound of gold was used to cover the heads of the nails. The walls of the small storage rooms were also covered with gold. 10Solomon had two statues of winged creatures made to put in the most holy place, and he covered them with gold. 11-13Each creature had two wings and was fifteen feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. Solomon set them next to each other in the most holy place, facing the doorway. Their wings were spread out and reached all the way across the thirty foot room. 14A curtain was made of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, and embroidered with designs of winged creatures. 15Two columns were made for the entrance to the temple. Each one was fifty-two feet tall and had a cap on top that was seven and a half feet high. 16The top of each column was decorated with designs that looked like chains and with a hundred carvings of pomegranates. 17Solomon had one of the columns placed on the south side of the temple's entrance; it was called Jachin. The other one was placed on the north side of the entrance; it was called Boaz." (CEV Bible, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17) Jesus' Confirmation of the Holiness of the Idols: "16You are in for trouble! You are supposed to lead others, but you are blind. You teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the temple. But you say that it does matter if someone swears by the gold in the temple. 17You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18You also teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the altar. But you say that it does matter if someone swears by the gift on the altar. 19Are you blind? Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20Anyone who swears by the altar also swears by everything on it. 21And anyone who swears by the temple also swears by God, who lives there. 22To swear by heaven is the same as swearing by God's throne and by the one who sits on that throne." (CEV Bible, Matthew 23:16-22) The sacred gold here is anything and everything in the temple that is made of gold. This certainly includes the Winged Creatures that are made of gold in the temple as well. So what do we see? In Exodus 25:1-40, Exodus 37:1-9, Exodus 26:1-20, Exodus 36:8-19, 1 Kings 6:19-38, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 in the Bible, we read about gigantic sacred winged creatures (birds, lairs or big dragons) being made in the Holiest Temple of GOD Almighty, and were placed in the most holy place and also in the place of mercy! They are so holy that GOD Almighty was going to meet Moses in between them! How is this not idol worship? We also read about winged creatures images and idols used to decorating much of the temple's curtains and places. Jesus also said that they are sacred because they're in the temple (the gold is made sacred because it is in the temple: Matthew 23:16-22). The Arab pagans, before Islam, also had idols that they considered very holy! But Islam came and smashed all of them and cleaned the House of Allah Almighty (the Temple of GOD Almighty) from all of them. The Bible, however, remains paganistic for considering idols made of wood and gold in the temple to be holy. Yet, in Exodus 20:1-6, Deuteronomy 5:1-10 we are forbidden from building any image that resembles any creature, whether in Heaven or on earth! How can anybody explain this fundamental contradiction? It is indisputably clear that the Kaaba during pagan times, with all the idols that were inside it and around it, was closer in similarity to the current Bible's Holiest Temple! |
Isaiah 41:29
See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to
nothing; their images are but wind
and confusion.
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone." (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 23:19)"
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and he was never crucified. Isaiah 53 and Psalm 91 are discussed in great details in this link.
Yet, Christians (Catholics and NON-Catholics) DARE to make images and portraits of Allah Almighty Himself
along with images of Angels, Christ, Mary and others.
Again, please visit: Jesus having long hair is considered stupid by Paul.
(ii)- But the portraits are not images and idols?!
Many many Christians are so superficial in their thinking that they believe that those portraits and graven idols of Allah Almighty and the other creations of Allah Almighty are not the idols and images that the Old Testament verses, above, prohibited.
My response:
This is quite ridiculous and absurd at best! What is it that is impossible to comprehend about whenever you dare to draw or carve a picture or object of Allah Almighty, you are in actuality creating an idol to worship?
Is this how Allah Almighty really looks like?
How are these pictures supposed to be in harmony with these verses:
Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below."
Leviticus 26:1 " 'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God."
I say quit this blasphemy that is called christianity, because it is no more than a man-made conjecture, as Allah Almighty specifically called this false religion in the Glorious Quran!

(iii)- The Kaaba during pagan times, with all the idols that were inside it and around it, was closer in similarity to the current Bible's Holiest Temple!
I honestly don't see how this statement is false!

3- What is the difference then between the hindu idols and the Kaba?
The comparison is an unfair one because while the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") bow down to GOD Almighty and only to GOD Almighty in Worship, the hindus pray to and glorify their idols. They address them as "your divinity" and "your holiness". That's clearly idol worship! You must never confuse the House of GOD Almighty, where GOD and His Servants meet, with the man-made idols and statues. Allah Almighty Said:
"For ye do worship idols besides God, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides God have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from God, serve Him, and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return. (The Noble Quran, 29:17)"
"And he said: "For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides God, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown each other and curse each other: and your abode will be the Fire, and ye shall have none to help." (The Noble Quran, 29:25)"
"And they set up (idols) as equal to God, to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief power)! But verily ye are making straightway for Hell!" (The Noble Quran, 14:30)"
"Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols. (The Noble Quran, 14:35)"
The Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") on the hand are not idol worshipers. And neither were the Bible's Prophets (including Jesus), peace be upon them, who prostrated to GOD Almighty.
There is a difference between worshiping GOD Almighty in the direction of His House, and putting idols and praying to them.
Let's not forget also that the hindus' and the buddhists' idols are statues. The same also for those who worship the fire, sun, moon, stars, etc... Allah Almighty Said:
"Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. (The Noble Quran, 41:37)"
"They ask thee Concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs To mark fixed periods of time In (the affairs of) men, And for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter the houses from the back: It is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses Through the proper doors: And fear Allah: That ye may prosper. (The Noble Quran, 2:189)"

4- What about the black stone near the Kaaba? How sacred is it?
The black stone is like the bricks and cement that make up the Kaaba. It is not holy at all and is not worshiped in any shape or form. The black stone is nothing but a Heavenly object (an asteroid) that GOD Almighty descended on earth to determine the exact location of where His House was going to be built by Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon them.
NASA'S CONFIRMATION: ""Stars" falling from the skies have been known since ancient times; rarely, stones are found that were tied to these "shooting stars". One such rock has been venerated by Islam (in its encased shrine in Mecca) for more than 1300 years. By the 19th Century, meteorites were identified correctly as samples from other parts of the Solar System. They are part of the nearly 500 tons of extraterrestrial rock material that reaches and enters the atmosphere each day. Most of that material is burned up by friction from the high speed of entry but meteoric dust can remain in the air and a very few individual blocks of material survive this passage to fall in the sea or on the ground as meteorites." (Source) "The second city of Saudi Arabia is Mecca which contains the holiest shrine in Islam, a great plaza with a rectangular structure containing a meteorite that is considered to have fallen into the Muslim world directly from Heaven. Devout Muslims make the Hajj, a pilgrimage to this shrine required at least once in a lifetime. Here it is as seen in a Quickbird image:" (Source)![]() |
An AUDIO file from Dr. Zaghlool Al-Najjar:
The black stone was proven to be a Meteorite sent from space.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba. Western Scientists have confirmed that the black stone, which resides near the Kaaba in the Holy City of Mecca, is an outside METEORITE OBJECT!
While Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him kissed the stone before, because it was chosen by Allah Almighty to descend on earth to determine the location of the Kaaba, but that still doesn't make it anything holy.
It certainly makes it a remarkable and noticeable object that is worth visiting and seeing, but anyone who worships it is an idol worshiper! And like I said above, those ignorant and illiterate from the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") who go as far as rubbing themselves against the Kaaba and/or the stone to get "blessings" are not representing Islam's True picture at all.
For more information, please visit: The black stone in Mecca is not worshiped by Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more").
It was the pagans who plagiarized Islam's practices, not the other way around. The Bible also declares it.
5- Is the Jews' wailing wall idol worship?
Are Jews idol worshipers for praying to GOD Almighty while directly facing the wailing wall in a very close distance?
6- The Islamic Rituals of Worship are all supported in the Bibles:
The Islamic Fasting, Prostrating to GOD Almighty in Worship, Doing Pilgrimage are all pillars of the Original Faith, and each one of them is supported in the Bible's Scriptures, and also outside of the Bible's Scriptures.

7- Islam is GOD Almighty's One and Original Faith to mankind, even according to the Bible!
I first of all want to make it clear that in Islam, we do not rely on the Bible. In fact, the Bible doesn't play any role in any of our Islamic Scriptures. But, the Bible does remain important, nonetheless, because:
1- It is mainly used by the Jews and Christians.
2- Islam is written ALL OVER the Book!
3- Islam is the Bible's One and Original Faith of GOD Almighty.
The original believers were called
Muslims: 1- The believers' title was always Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"), Salamays, Mushlams, Mushlemanies. This is also where we get Shalom from. It is SALAM. The Jews' deficient tongue pronounces the S as SH and the soft A as O. This is similar to those who pronounce the W as V in India, and the TH as Z in Europe and elsewhere. 2- Moses' in-laws from Jethro and others were Salamays and Muslimays (video): Also this important video: Believers also during Adam, Noah and Abraham's times were also called Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"). You can think of them as Arabia's Muwahiddeen (monotheists) before Prophet Muhammad became a Prophet. 3- Allah Almighty called Islam SELM or SILM [1] in the Glorious Quran. Because indeed, the religion before Allah Almighty is Islam, as He said, and before Prophet Muhammad it was called also Selm or silm. 4- Jesus also in the Bible called the believer's title Mushlem. The English translators falsely translate it as "perfect". Peace be upon all of the Prophets of Allah Almighty. Please visit:
www.answering-christianity.com/ac.htm#capsule |
8- Conclusion:
As I demonstrated and proved above, Islam and the Prophets are far from promoting any form of idol worship. You must never confuse or mix the Worship of GOD Almighty with the worship of man-made idols. The hindus' and buddhists' worship of idols is far from being even remotely compared to Islam. And as we've seen from the Saying of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, above,
لهدم الكعبة حجراً حجراً أهون من قتل المسلم
"Demolishing the Kaaba completely is much more
preferred to Allah Almighty than
shedding the blood of a Believing Muslim." (Source)
It is clear that the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") today are the only ones who truly Glorify GOD Almighty in the Maximum way. Even Jesus, the polytheist trinitarian pagans' god, Worshiped GOD Almighty and Glorified Him the Islamic way. Even though it was done hypocritically because he only did it once and during his most desperate times, and he has never done it before, but he still nonetheless showed that the Islamic way is the BEST WAY to really Glorify GOD Almighty in. Of course, the reader needs to know that the Jesus of the Bible is not the same as the Jesus of Islam.

Prophecy about Muslims will bow
to GOD in the direction of His Holy Temple.

have exalted above
all things your name and your word.
Also, the path of Holiness to Mecca thoroughly prophesied in the Bibles. Here is an example from many about Arabia:
The forgeries NT was documented 200+ years after Jesus. Christianity is filled with church forgeries. The disciples had conflicts with each other. Paul vs. Peter teams were calling eah other cursed, false, liar, satanic! [1]

Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
-
The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error.

Who was the sacrificed son?
[1]
[2] Here is the short answer: From https://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,3150.msg15747.html#msg15747: Can anyone prove from bible that hazrat ismail (a.s.) was in Arab and Ibrahim (a.s.) was about to slaughter him? Both the Bible and the Glorious Quran agree that: 1- Ishmael's covenant was put on hold (pause) until the Jewish covenant comes to pass, and the latter generations come:
Like
In
Jeremiah and Isaiah verses, below, about Arabia's
Promise to come later, Ishmael's name and Honor were
reserved for Praise for the later generations. Let us
look at Noble Verse
37:108:
–37:108
وتركنا
عليه
في الاخرين–[037:108] and left for him among the later folk Jeremiah 51:33 33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon (Arabia) is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. That is the fruits of GOD Almighty, Islam and Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"), have yet to come from Arabia. The Bible defines "Daughter of Babylon" to be Arabia. There are three Babylons mentioned in the Bible. Arabia was defined as the virgin daughter of Babylon. This is because it never had a Divine Religion with Divine Revelations sent to it yet. Jeremiah 51:33 says that the time of sending the Divine Religion of Islam to Arabia shall come. And Noble Verse 37:108 says that Ishmael's Covenant to Mankind was put for the later generations. Jews' dogs: Jesus ended the Arabs being the Jews' dogs. He said that Arabs have "great faith". This is why he will return from the Arabs according to the Bible and Islam.
2- Ishmael's name means the GOD finally heard the Prayer. Ishmael's name is a great proof that he was the sacrificed son. He was born after long decades of frustration and long waits. He was born after a long time of decades of desperation. Isaac would not have been that big of a deal relatively speaking, because Ishmael was already born, and the long horrid desperation was long gone. And Ishmael at the time was his only son, and for a long time too. Ishmael was 13 years older than Isaac. Peace be upon them all. The challenge wasn't just for Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty. Any mere person can do this, even to pagan deities: [006:137] Even so, in the eyes of most of the pagans, their "partners" made alluring the slaughter of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their religion. If God had willed, they would not have done so: But leave alone them and their inventions. While it was a test for Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty, but I believe it was also more of testing Abraham to give up what he longed for, and was desperate for, for many decades. And it was also to honor Ishmael, the Prophet of Allah Almighty. Peace be upon Abraham and his sons.
It matters not: Let me make it absolutely clear that Islam does not stand and fall on: (a)- Whether Ishmael was
the sacrificed-to-be son or not. None of this matters in Islam. We are only presenting what the Glorious Quran confirms here. If Isaac was the sacrificed son, then it wouldn't matter. We still say Peace be upon all of Allah Almighty's Prophets and Messengers. And Isaac was certainly one of them, and we love Isaac and revere him as much as Ishmael and all of Allah Almighty's Prophets. Peace be upon them all. And again, ethnicity has nearly no value in Islam: [049:013] O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). This Noble Verse is not just to Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"), but to all humans. For more details, please visit:

3- The Jews' accounts and the Bible's credibility are a joke! The Jews fabricated many lies. Ironically, their accounts even admit this. I have thoroughly proven the
above points
at: Quran Miracle: The Jews' and Christians' scribes changed and still change the Words. Proven with images, text and videos from their corrupt bible and books! See how they removed words and altered words.
As to Ishmael being an Arab, again, it matters not. But if you care to know, Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac's father, was from Iraq. Most Iraqis are Arabs. Assyrians and others are a minority. And even Assyrians and Kurds and others speak Arabic, and their bloods are mixed with Arabs. Arabic had always been the dominant language in the Middle East and North and Central Africa for 20,000 years, if not even more. And it's the language of the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty's Perfect and Miraculous Book with 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles [1], and also Prophecies [2]. See literally the 1000s of STUNNING Miracles are listed here. Also visit: But again, it matters not to Islam what ethnicity Abraham was. Take care,
The following is the detailed answer.... 1- Who was the sacrificed son? Ishmael's Covenant was made for the later generations according to both Islam and the Bible. Let us look at Ishmael in great details: 19:54 واذكر في الكتاب اسماعيل انه كان صادق الوعد وكان رسولا نبيا
–
[019:054]
Also mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was
(strictly)
true to what he
promised
صادق الوعد,
and he was an apostle (and) a prophet. Here is Ishmael's Promise: 37:102 فلما بلغ معه السعي قال يابني اني ارى في المنام اني اذبحك فانظر ماذا ترى قال ياابت افعل ماتؤمر ستجدني ان شاء الله من الصابرين [037:102] Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy! ستجدني ان شاء الله من الصابرين"

Ishmael was put on PAUSE
until the covenant of the Israelites comes to an end:
–37:108
وتركنا
عليه
في الاخرين•Like In Jeremiah and Isaiah verses, below, about Arabia's Promise to come later, Ishmael's name and Honor were reserved for Praise for the later generations. Let us look at Noble Verse 37:108: –[037:108] and left for him among the later folk Jeremiah 51:33 33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon (Arabia) is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

And Noble Verse 37:108 says that Ishmael's Covenant to Mankind was put for the later generations. Here are several of the English translations Noble Verse 37:108:
–[037:108]
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later
generations.
–[037:108]
And We left for him among the later folk (the
salutation).
–[037:108]
And We left the following salutation to be bestowed on him
by the latest posterity,
–[037:108]
And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among
generations (to come) in later times.
–[037:108]
and left for him among the later folk
2- The Bible’s Support for Ishmael: Even in the altered Bible, there is strong evidence that support that Ishmael was the son to be sacrificed. Ishmael's name means "GOD Heard", which implies: The Jews from birth are liars?
Bible says that Jews' from their
essence were liars.
From their "birth"
they were liars the Old
Testament declares them.
This is another proof that the
Bible is full of man-made
corruption and fabrications,
especially in the Jews' ancient
history and stories.
Jeremiah 8:8 is thoroughly
covered here. Jews' dogs: Jesus ended the Arabs being the Jews' dogs. He said that Arabs have "great faith". This is why he will return from the Arabs according to the Bible and Islam.
•Ishmael was 13 years older than Isaac, and •Noble Verse 37:102 supports that Ishmael was a teenage boy: [037:102] Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Once
again, we read in Noble Verse
37:108: Jeremiah 51:33 Arabia has not yet met its threshold, and the time of her harvest shall come. That is the fruits of GOD Almighty, Islam and Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more"), have yet to come from Arabia. [2] Jeremiah 31:31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. Isaiah 41:8-13 GOD Almighty assures the House of Jacob that they are still loved and chosen by GOD Almighty. “Do not be afraid (of this Servant).” Never was this said for an Israelite Prophet. THE ENTIRE HOUSE OF JACOB were commanded to not be afraid of him, because he will be a NON-ISRAELITE Prophet. NEW SONG here means a new non-Hebrew Arabic Scripture to come from Arabia (Kedar); the Glorious Quran. Isaiah 41 and 42:6, 42:10-13 The Arabian Prophet will come from the people of Kedar with The New Covenant. Read more...

3- Abraham had no child for almost 100 years. He was completely barren: Abraham was very desperate for a son. Ishmael was the greatest gift from GOD Almighty to Abraham. This is why Abraham named him GOD finally Answered my Prayer. GOD Almighty put Abraham to the ultimate test by Commanding him to slaughter this precious son. Abraham obeyed GOD Almighty by attempting to slaughter his son, Ishmael. Ishmael too was true to his promise. He never resisted, nor disobeyed. He was willing to get slaughtered for the Will of Allah Almighty. GOD Almighty saved Ishmael at the last minute, and Commanded Abraham to slaughter a ram instead.
4- The corrupt Jewish books say it was Isaac: But the name "ISHMAEL" really exposes their lies and gives it all away! The name clearly suggests that Abraham was MOST DESPERATE with Ishmael, and hence, Ishmael's test would‘ve been FAR GREATER than Isaac's. Isaac was the second son, and 13 years younger. The Jewish Law gives double the inheritance to the OLDEST SON when the father dies (Deuteronomy 21:17). This is not a war between Ishmael and Isaac. In Islam, we honor all of the people of Israel's Prophets and Messengers of GOD Almighty. Peace be upon Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. And peace be upon Hagar and Sara. Again, please visit: Again, please visit: Ishmael was put on pause until the Israelites' Covenant passes. See slides 32-38. Both the Bible and Glorious Quran agree on this.
"El" in names as in Ishmael was common among the Jews. Is the GOD of Islam different? Allah Almighty allowed for His Holy Name to be shortened as "El" in Ishmael, and Lillah for Li-Allah in the Quran, as in Alhamdulillah in both Islam and Judaism.
5- Is Elohim Allah? [1, *] [2] [3] The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty. The root Word is "Eloh". And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im. And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah. Jews do call Him: Allah-im. Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah. See the following videos for Biblical references and proofs. Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah". So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh. It is Allah! Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway. Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew. And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician. See the following links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet
6- What about “EL”?
•"El"
was a shortened name for Allah (ALIF, LAMED, LAMED, HEY)
In Hebrew.
Watch above vidoes.
•Allah
is also spelled out with ALIF, LAMED, LAMED, HEY in
Hebrew to be GOD.
•Allah
Almighty allowed for shortening of His Holy Name and Titles
for the Jews. This is where you get Ishmael,
Garbriel, Ezekiel (short for Allah). This is also
where you get Hallelujah, Netanyahu (short for
Yahuwah, or Yahweh)
•Islam
also has shortened Name for Allah Almighty.
–Alhamdulillah
is short for
Alhamdu li Allah.
