(1) Muhammad was born into idol worshipping family: Yes or No? If no, what was the religion of his family before he was born? (2) Muhammad's father's name was Abdullah meaning ''Servant of Allah'': Yes or No? If no, what is the meaning? (3) If Abdullah means 'Servant of Allah' it means the worship of Allah had been in Muhammad's family before he was born i.e before Islam: Yes or No? If no, how was Abdullah serving Allah? (4) Muhammad later introduced Islam (meaning submission to Allah). What is the difference (with proof) between the worship of Allah he met in his family and the Allah he introduced? (5) If the Allah is the same, what was the need for Muhammad to reintroduce Him? (6) If the Allah is different, was Abdullah's Allah an idol and Muhammad's Allah the true God? (7) When Muhammad destroyed the idols in Kaaba, Mecca he left some including 'the black stone' (which muslims are now kissing in Mecca). What is the rapport between Islam and the idols he retained?

@nextpan: by nextpart(m): 1:59pmsome worship idols. examples; his uncle abu lahab was an idol worshiper and died still on that idol worshiping. it maybe possible that someone in his recent ancestry like his father did not as a 'hanifan' in the manner of Ibrahim [as]. do you know that his father died before he [sa] was born, making him a half orphan at birth and within 6 years his mother died making him a full orphan that Allah revealed a verse about that in the Quran, saying He was his Caretaker from the before he began his prophetic mission? (2) Muhammad's father's name was Abdullah meaning ''Servant of Allah'':yes. (3) If Abdullah means 'Servant of Allah' it means the worship of Allah had been in Muhammad's family before he was born i.e before Islam:servant or slave does not mean worship. you of all people should know that much. worship means ibad as in ya ibadIllah [oh worshiper of Allah]. worship i always in a proper process that the One Who is being worshiped laid out for the worshiper. you cant start your own method and think it is acceptable. no sir. you have fallen to innovation if you do that and in spite of all the beauty of what you have innovated, it may actually be rejected in the same way a professor will reject an answer to a question that was through a different method from what was prescribed. (4) Muhammad later introduced Islam (meaning submission to Allah). What is the difference (with proof) between the worship of Allah he met in his family and the Allah he introduced?methods. the shahadah of what he brought is Laailaha ilAllah, Muhammadanr rRasulullah[sa]. the salah is 5 everyday. there is zakat and sadaqah, saum which is 29 or30 days depending on the length of the life of the moon of the month of Ramadhan. there is hajj and ummrah. there are others and Quran from Allah and Sunnah of Muhammad [sa] are the guiding Lights of the completed way. (5) If the Allah is the same, what was the need for Muhammad to reintroduce Him?the very same reason that Yahweh of Moses was reintroduced differently by Jesus; bringing everything back to the Purest State. Purest is the best state, dont you think? (6) If the Allah is different, was Abdullah's Allah an idol and Muhammad's Allah the true God?Olusegun Obasanjo, christian. Olusegun Mebude, Muslim. i am not so sure that the yorubas did not know that Olorun exists, while Oluwasola is an osun worshiper in oshogbo. but the Oluwasola Kasim of Abeokuta is a muslim, while Oluwasola of iyin ekiti is CAC. (7) When Muhammad destroyed the idols in Kaaba, Mecca he left some including 'the black stone' (which muslims are now kissing in Mecca). What is the rapport between Islam and the idols he retained?the black stone is not an idol but a marker, a point of reference on the Kaabah and no one then or after Muhammad [sa] reintroduced the Islam of Ibrahim [as], the hanifan worshiped the "black stone". you know muslims, males and females bear the name hanif or hanifah just like latif and latifah? (cool There was a Moon-god in the pre-Islamic period whose name was Al-illah (sound like Allah?)no moon god named Al-illah. if you have it show us. hilal is a "moon phase", even the birth of a new moon can be said to be hilal. its a word sounding and arabic word can have 100 meaning and one thing can have 100 names and words about it. Queen of England is the monarch of England. Queen of which late gay guy freddy mercury was a leader is a musical band. they are both Queens, but are they the same? Allah is AlHakim, yet He is AlAkim. He is AlHalim, yet He is AlAlim. Each has different meaning from the other Name sounding like it. Allah is Sultan, people may call their king sultan. Allah is AlAli, yet people bear Ali. The god had stars as his daughters.we do not accept any deity that has either a son or daughter or even a partner. What is the relationship between this god and Islam as it (Islam) has symbol of moon and stars,islam does not have moon or and star as its symbol. a dynasty within Islam did and it was the kalifah of Uthman Turks of Turkey. moon calendar,the same way the christian uses weather seasons and the gregorian calender. and the jews use the moon, too. is anyone of these two groups worshiping what they use to identify their own annual cycle? we do not worship the moon even if the christian worships the seasons and gregorian calender and the jews worship the moon. Allah The Almighty Who is Above His Throne, Above The Heavens is Who we in Islam Worship in the way He Prescribes "Worship" of Him. facing the direction of the moon when praying etc?no we do not, but we face the Kaaba our Qibla [direction]. Please answer these questions one by one as numbered to avoid muddle and as short as possible.thank you for asking us about Islam. i pray that our effort will mean something and impact your heart. Amin. |
