Do make the difference between Islam and the Muslims

[Moonglow]

I am convinced it's a load...

 

[Osomir]

Every verse in the Qur'an is event specific.

If it's not something in the community, it si something about Muhammad's personal spiritual life (peace be upon him and his family).

For example, the first word revealed was "read!". Gabriel said this three times to Muhammad. The rest of the verse is revealed after that, "read in the name of your Lord who created". This happened after Muhammad became extremely holy and sanctified (therefore it is event specific). He used to seclude himself in the cave of Hira, until he became 10000 % holy and sanctified. The very moment it happened, gabriel came to him saying "read!".

The last two chapters of the Qur'an (which are not the last chapters revealed); I am only giving an example, were revealed as Muhammad was bewitched by some people. They are event specific. Every verse in the Qur'an is event specific.

It does not mean the Qur'an is outdated. No. If you believe in God there is no need to talk about this. Indeed, you know that when God says one word, there is in it 1 billion sentences and 1 billion books. The problem is whether or not you know those 1 billion sentences and 1 billion books. It is actually not 1 billion but infinity.

A shame Muhammad was illiterate.

Muhammad, in establishing Islam did so by merging the many pagan beliefs into a single doctrine, unyielding and contemptuous of all that went before them and of those yet to cross their paths.The moon and the star usurped from the pagan gods Sin or Shiva.

Muslims perform pagan worship in many ways. They pray five times while facing Mecca, a pagan practice, this not unique to Islam, the Zoroastrians were expected to to say their prayer, the Kusti, five times a day, while facing east.

Mecca is the holiest place in Islam with the Kaaba at its center. Muslim must go on Hajj (pilgrimage) at least once in their lifetime. Here they must wear white, shave their head and stone the three stone Pillars at Mina with seven pebbles. They must walk around the Kabba seven times, kiss the Black Stone and perform animal sacrifices. These pagan rituals go back hundreds of years before the advent of Islam.

The word Allah is a derivation of the the moon god Al-ailah, also know as Sin, Hubul or Ilumquh. He is the highest ranking god in the pre-islamic pantheon. Another prominent pre-Islamic monument, the Kaaba housed 360 god, in fact the Kaaba was called the house of Al-ailah.
The Pagan Roots of Islamic Worship

 

[Muslim75]

This has nothing to do in this thread.

Nevertheless, Iet me say the following. This is completely false. The beginning of Isllam is the sentence:

"There is no God but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God" (peace be upon him and his family)

Islam has nothing to do with paganism, on the other hand it is the pagans who do not disbelieve in God. Only, they believe in other gods along with Him.

Allah is the Name of God. Some note that it is also a contraction of Al and Ilah ("The" and "Divinity, God"). The magnificent Kaaba's relevance and significance is of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). Thought the Muslims may not know it, they pray towards it, and while praying they talk to God, not to the Kaaba. Turning towards the Kaaba means, "O God, I am coming to you through the example of your beloved" and that beloved of God is Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). The black rock has a history. It is sacred because of that and we kiss it because Muhammad kissed it, teaching us to do the same. It has a history he is aware of. Anything, any object can be sacred, it does not mean its Paganism. The Companions, for instance, would almost fight for the drops of water coming off the hands of Muhammad as he was making his ritual ablutions. Those drops are sacred, it does not mean it's Paganism. Zakariyya prayed God that God grants him a son. he did so in a sacred place, the place where Mary used to pray. That is not Paganism. That place was sacred because Mary would receive sustenance there, out of nowhere. She said it was from God. So Zakariyya prayed there for a son, and God granted him John the Baptist.

There is a difference. Islam is a deranged religion, whereas Muslims are just people.
