SIRTee15: Libation of the Polytheists is for gods (plural/polytheism) not God. You can insist for your satisfaction that the aforementioned isn't true. Ask your traditionalist friends or acquaintances if other gods exist as well as the ones they pour libation for? Have you bothered to study the the chain of transmission and the text of hadith that say the black stone grants forgiveness? Please provide the text of the prayer made to the black stone asking it for forgiveness and a report of its response otherwise stop repeating what is untruth. Do you not see how illogical your claim of a black stone being white then turned black due to sins is? When you paint your house with high quality paint does it not darken over years of exposure to natural element? I thought you are a professional of advanced scientific learning? Why is it not called the once white but blackened stone or any other such variant? Give statistically representative evidence of people that saw it when it was white. I figure you have another repugnant untruthful response to this. Why prophet Muhammad kissed the stone has been explained before. His forefather's placed it after it came to earth. Do you not know how certain treasure passed from generation to generation are valued? When footballers win even the world cup don't they kiss it despite replicas being made for tournaments? This stone is the same over several millennia. How is Allah's time shared? It seems you don't know all the rights of hajj are in worship of Allah. Just noticed you repeat the usual slander of the age of Aisha that is definitely a lie. Scrutiny of this by scholars do not agree with this. https://newlinesmag.com/essays/oxford-study-sheds-light-on-muhammad-underage-wife-aisha/#:~:text=According%20to%20Little%2C%20the%20claim,of%20Aisha%20against%20Shiite%20detractors. https://www.academia.edu/37720516/A_Hadith_Scholar_Presents_New_Evidence_that_Aisha_was_Near_18_the_Day_of_Her_Marriage_to_the_Prophet_Muhammad?email_work_card=title It is an over flogged case and has no direct relation with your originally asked question or do you now equate the prophet's marriage to the primary acts of worshipping Allah?

Prove you don't lie by presenting credible report to back your claim. Continue spewing your ignorance. No Muslim worships any stone. All worship is for and to Allah.

Dsimmer: Arabs dominate a region you claim has wiped out the aborigines? How come the original northern Africans manage to retain their unique cultural identity? Today, the Berbers continue to celebrate their ancient traditions and languages. Are the Tamazight and Tifinagh script practices of the Arabs? It appears you no longer understand the phrase wiped out which you use. Despite the influence of the Arabs, the original northern Africans manage to retain their unique cultural identity. Today, the Berbers continue to celebrate their ancient traditions and languages.They also make significant contributions to the cultural diversity of northern Africa, influencing art, music, and literature in the region. The legacy of the original northern Africans lives on in the rich tapestry of cultures that make up modern-day northern Africa. The word "Allat" is a compound word that is often used in reference to one of the multiple gods or deities in ancient Middle Eastern religions. It was commonly used in the pre-Islamic era to refer to a goddess in Arabian polytheism. Allah is the singular, all-powerful God worshipped by Muslims. Allah is distinct from Allat which is a compound word Al-lat. Your bias unfortunately enhances disuse of any intellectual capacity you may have. It is no bother but be sure to support your error with irrefutable proof. I have shown you that neither the grandfather of the prophet pbuh despite his love of his grandson nor Abu Talib accepted Islam like you wrongly claimed. Al-lat idol was destroyed as other idols in the kaaba as well as the temple in Ta'if. When Mecca was conquered by Muslim forces in 630 AD, Prophet Muhammad pbuh ordered the destruction of all idols within the Kaaba, including Al-lat. This event signified a turning point in the religious landscape of Arabia, as it marked the end of polytheistic practices in one of its most sacred sites. |

Dsimmer: Berbers are predominantly located in North African countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Mauritania, Mali, and northern Niger. In Algeria, approximately one-fourth of the population is estimated to be Berber, while in Morocco, Berbers are estimated to make up more than three-fifths of the population. From where have they been wiped out unless wiped out no longer means totally eradicated? Dsimmer: The legacy of colonialism continues to impact Africa’s growth and stability. International control over Africa’s resources and economies has been a significant factor contributing to the continent’s underdevelopment. The exploitation by external powers disrupt indigenous systems, hinder technological progress, and perpetuate economic disparities that continue to affect Africa today. Africa exports raw materials like cotton but imported manufactured goods due to technological stagnation caused by European interference. Various global superpowers and countries provided support to either Nigeria or Biafra, influenced by economic interests, Cold War dynamics, and regional alliances. The key players in this international double play include Great Britain, the Soviet Union, France, China, the United States, and several other minor countries. Africa, despite its abundant natural resources, remains one of the poorest regions in the world. The continent has persistently lagged behind other continents in terms of economic wealth and human capital development. This situation can be attributed to a combination of historical factors, including colonial exploitation and more recent issues such as corruption and mismanagement. You may recall when the past military regime in 1983-85 tried to recover the loot of Dikko from UK and recently how the west keeps allowing their institutions remain safe havens for looted funds which should develop Africa. al-Lat’s temple was in Ta’if and was demolished. I have told you before that the pre-islamic polytheist say we worship them (i.e. the idols) only so that they may bring us nearer to Allah." (Quran 39:3). Worship at the Kaaba and prayers in the direction of the kaaba are strictly towards Allah. Both relatives of the prophet Muhammad pbuh; his grandfather, Abdul Mutalib, and his uncle, Abu Talib, did not accept Islam. So you see your unfounded claims? |

Dsimmer: Backwardness you say. What sort of independence was given to African countries? Were they not made to adopt the practices of their Colonial masters in their pseudo independence? Are they still not subjected to them in the queer guise of world and United government bodies? Tell me which one has been able to design their own governing system as was in the pre-colonised era? Independence has not translated to prosperity or justice for all Africans. It brought challenges such as internal conflicts, ethnic divisions, corruption, neocolonialism, globalization, and the need to redefine and reassert independence in the face of new forms of oppression. Africa’s independence can be viewed as a mixed reality depending on various perspectives. On one hand, most African countries have achieved political sovereignty with their governments, constitutions, flags, national anthems recognized by international community. On the other hand, many countries still face challenges such as legacy impacts of colonialism/imperialism/slavery (ethnic conflicts/artificial borders), external influences (former colonizers/multinational corporations/international organizations), underdevelopment/dependency/poverty which limit their freedom/agency. Thus it is essential to acknowledge both achievements & challenges when considering Africa’s independence today. There is no proof that allat became Allah and you just say what you feel as they seem similar. |

Dsimmer: All the early major Berber tribes including the Masmuda, Sanhaja, Ketama Zenata and Nafusa are described as dark reddish brown like the “Indi’ or as “blacks” or Ethiopians in early documents. The original inhabitants of North Africa, prior to Arab invasions and the trans-Saharan slave trade, were primarily Berber tribes. The Berbers are an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa, including regions such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania. They have a diverse range of physical appearances, including varying skin tones. The Berber people traditionally had a range of skin colors that could be described as fair to olive-toned to darker shades. This variation in skin color among the Berber tribes was due to a combination of genetic diversity and historical interactions with other populations in the region |

Dsimmer: Al-Lat/Allat is not Allah and was worshipped as a separate deity in pre-Islamic Arabia. Your claims on dislike about her ferminity is too far reaching. Did Islam not abolish killing the female child? Al-Lat was considered a chief deity of certain tribes like Banu Thaqif in Ta’if. However, her worship ended when her temple in Ta’if was destroyed on the orders of Muhammad. What tribe is Muhammad pbuh of? The slanderous claims of paedophilia are untrue and unfounded. Also camel urine furnished promising antibacterial activities against gram-positive bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus, as well as gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae. This is from scientific research not the careless statements. |

Dsimmer: I am not in any way exonerating the Arabs; both practices were bad. Simply stating that European practices even over a shorter period were more severe. What is the true skin colour of the Indians. Remember they too were colonised and even much longer than most African countries? Have the Europeans really left Africa or you uphold this pseudo independence that is still colonisation? How many types of South African s exist? |

Dsimmer: Would say comical but the extent of assumption is incredible. Allah, according to several Arabic lexicons, means "the Being Who comprises all the attributes of perfection", i.e. the Being Who is perfect in every way (in His knowledge, power etc.), and possesses the best and the noblest qualities imaginable in the highest degree. Contrary to popular belief, the word Allah is NOT a contraction of al-ilah (al meaning 'the', and ilah meaning 'god'). Had it been so, then the expression ya Allah ('O Allah!') would have been ungrammatical, because according to the Arabic language when you address someone by the vocative form ya followed by a title, the al ('the') must be dropped from the title. For example, you cannot say ya ar-rabb but must say ya rabb similarly Ya ar-Rahman is wrong so it is Ya Rahman. Allah was NOT one of the gods of the pre-Islamic Arabs, but was recognised by them as the supreme, abstract God. There was no idol which they called "Allah". The Quran quotes the idol-worshippers as presenting the argument that: "We worship them (i.e. the idols) only so that they may bring us nearer to Allah." (39:3) |

Dsimmer: I sense a bias in favour of the Europeans. You should note that while both Arab and European slavers subjected African slaves to inhumane treatment, there were variations in how they utilized their enslaved populations. Arab slavers often preferred African women over men for various purposes. Europeans primarily used African slaves for labor-intensive tasks on plantations in the Americas, leading to significant exploitation and abuse. They went as far as padlocking the mouth to prevent consumption of plantation produce. In Arab slavery, body distortions were not as widespread as in European slavery. However, some Arab slave owners practiced castration on male slaves to prevent them from reproducing or to serve as eunuchs in harems. In contrast, European slavery was characterized by a higher prevalence of body distortions among African slaves. Enslaved individuals were often subjected to extreme physical labor that resulted in deformities and musculoskeletal issues. Additionally, some European slave owners engaged in practices such as foot binding or dental mutilation that caused lasting body distortions among the enslaved population. European slavery exhibited a higher incidence of body distortions due to the harsh working conditions and additional practices aimed at dehumanizing the enslaved individuals. |

Dsimmer: The influence of bias on History. Do you not know that The Romans occupied Egypt in 30 BC after defeating the forces of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony at the Battle of Actium. You choose to ignore the Roman origin of the Byzantine army? The Byzantine rule in Egypt had been weakened due to previous occupations by the Sasanian Empire, making it vulnerable to the Arab invasion. The conquest of Egypt was strategically significant as it not only ended Byzantine control but also provided access to the wealth of the region. The Arab conquest of Egypt was a pivotal event that ended Byzantine rule in the region. Amr ibn al-As proposed the invasion of Egypt due to its wealth and strategic importance, despite initial reluctance from Caliph Umar. |

SIRTee15: I have not discussed with the traditionalist but know they say when they poor libation that that is for the gods. Definitely showing a Polytheist belief very different from Islam. Muslims do not attach divine power to the stone. As `Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said: You’re just a stone that does not benefit or harm anyone, and if I hadn’t seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would have not done so. So, we are simply touching or kissing the Black Stone in order to honor us with association the practice of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. It does not imply any reverence whatsoever. In any case the black stone isn't mentioned in the Quran or clearly regarded as having 'godly' powers. All worship is for Allah alone who alone bestows and forgives. Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, I am commanded to worship Allâh (Alone) by obeying Him and doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship; Allah solely forgives sins. 39:14 Say, "Allah [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion Hajj is one of the greatest pillars of Islam if the Muslim has the means to perform this for the sake of worshipping Allah and has numerous benefits including forgiveness of sin by Allah and no other 1 Like |

SIRTee15: When traditional adherents pour libation it is clearly an offering to the deity or spirit. This is clearly different from the act of touching or kissing the black stone in Mecca as all acts of worship for a Muslim is towards Allah and nothing else. The significance of the black stone lies in its connection to Prophet Muhammad pbuh and the pilgrim acts associated with the Kaaba rather than being an object of worship itself. The Kaaba constitutes a point all Muslims face in unity of faith while praying to Allah 2 Likes |

advocatejare: The crescent represents a phase of the moon, symbolizing growth, renewal, and new beginnings. In it's application in Islamic context, it marks the beginning of Ramadan, and other months. Although not originally an Islamic emblem, it became widespread with the spread of Islam due to its association with unity, brotherhood, and the passage of time in the Islamic calendar under the Ottoman Empire. You know very well that pre-islamic Arabs didn't worship Baal. There is no mention of Baal specifically in the context of pre-Islamic Arabian worship. According to Canaanite mythology, Baal was the son of El, the chief god, and Asherah, the goddess of the sea. Baal was considered the most powerful of all gods. Baal worship is well reported in the Bible and probably is a core of the faith of Christianity that Jesus himself didn't preach. The practice of Baal worship infiltrated Jewish religious life during the time of the Judges (Judges 3:7), became widespread in Israel during the reign of Ahab (1 Kings 16:31-33) and also affected Judah (2 Chronicles 28:1-2). The word baal means “lord”; the plural is baalim. In general, Baal was a fertility god who was believed to enable the earth to produce crops and people to produce children. Israel keeps strong presence in agriculture if this superstitious myth is to be considered. Baal of Peor (Numbers 25:3) and Baal-Berith (Judges 8:33) are clear examples of such localized deities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udcamrulh6o?si=ZPwWkEZNXJlTBCHP Allah is the monotheistic God in Islam.

Antilslaam: When Mary the mother of her Jesus took her baby Jesus to show her people was this a court? Is it the people that brought baby Jesus to the location he spoke as a baby? Was the speech of Jesus as a baby actually part of his prophethood or defense of the peculiar situation of his mother? Did Jesus as a baby debate and castigate the religious leaders of the Jews and Israelites? 4.156-162 Maududi - Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi - Tafhim al-Qur'an This is in continuation of the theme under discussion. The calumny against Mary concerning the birth of Jesus has been declared here as "disbelief" because it was not directed against the person of innocent Mary or her son but against Jesus Christ, the Messenger of God. The Jews had absolutely no ground for suspicion about his miraculous birth without father, because God had caused the whole Community to stand as witness to the miracle. When Virgin Mary, who belonged to the noble and well-known religious family of the Israelites, came home with the new-born child, a large crowd gathered there and demanded an explanation from her. But she simply pointed to the child. The crowd could not understand how a child in the cradle could speak, but to their utter astonishment, the child began to speak clearly and fluently and addressing the crowd, he declared, "I am Allah's servant: Allah has given me the Book and made me a Prophet." (Maryam, XIX : 30) Remember the initial tafsir you stand on is on Maryam, XIX : 30 and Ala Madudi tafsir in on verses 30-33 A simple request that you show where Ibn Kathir also says Jesus was taken to court as a baby and subsequently crucified has been repeated and you pretend not to see it or refuse to answer or both.

The verse states, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’” In this context, God is divinely and the verse reflects the use of the majestic plural with God. Your thoughts are extremely far reaching. Sumerian a language of Mesopotamia belongs to an isolated language family, while Arabic is part of the Semitic language family. This difference indicates distinct linguistic origins for both languages. And if you choose Akkadian then you must know that despite some similarities due to their common Semitic roots, Akkadian and Arabic have significant differences in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics. While there may be some lexical overlap or shared features due to their historical connections, the overall structures of these languages are distinct.

advocatejare: The specific year when this practice first began is not definitively documented due to the gradual evolution of architectural styles and traditions in different regions influenced by Islamic culture. However, historical records and architectural studies suggest that the incorporation of crescents on minarets alongside mosques can be traced back to the early centuries of Islam, with notable examples dating back to the 9th century. The crescent moon has been associated with Islam for a long time, although it is important to note that the crescent itself is not a religious symbol in Islam. Instead, it has been used as a decorative motif and symbol of cultural identity. The association between Islam and the crescent likely originated from its historical use in various contexts related to Islamic history. |
