      @@skuffzy there is historical fact along with Islamic tradition in my video, but the main purpose was to show that the Kaaba has zero to do with Judaism or Christianity. The claim of Muslims is that is it has always been a place of worship of the God of the Christian’s and the Jews which is not true.

      @@Women4Theology i mean if youre interested, theres lots of good scholars and places to learn even online. you mentioned the sirah of the prophet saws, which is a great place to start. it is the last revelation (quran) to monotheists so it kinda makes sense to return a place that became corrupted through idoltry back to its original purpose and establish its continuity so everyone could be united in a place of worship. Im not sure as to who youre talking to or where youre researching with your last claim but no worries, this is not the islamic story of the kaaba :)

    first off the Blackstone doesn't secure anything its merely a stone.
    [Sahih al-Bukhari #1597]
    It was narrated that ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Black Stone and kissed it, then he said: “I know that you are only a stone which can neither bring benefit nor cause harm. Were it not that I had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kiss you, I would not have kissed you.”
    so even the companion of the prophet himself knew the stone is useless and it doesn't erase any sin. the sin is erased by Allah. but we kiss it OUT OF RESPECT to it. other than that its not an obligation to kiss it. and Allah forbade the worship of any objects according to Quran 40:66. Submission to Allah only. not the stone.
    And regarding the context of the Kaaba not being mentioned in biblical or Jewish texts. that's the point. we believe they were fabricated and would obviously have no contexts of this but according to Psalms 84:4-6 it references a place called "becca"
    Psalms 84:4-6
    "How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah. How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings. "
    Before assuming its a place in Jerusalem many historians and scholars referenced it as old mecca. even traders that passed by used the term "beca"
    and lets say for example that wasn't the case. then ill use historical contexts. before the pagan tribes of quraish settled in mecca it was controlled by jewish tribes. And when the himyarite king ( Abu Karib ) , i think thats his name came to conquer mecca. 2 jewish sages convinced him to stop. and he was moved by their wisdom. although the story is somewhat a myth. there was a shift of religion in the himyarite kingdom to the jewish religion, making it the main religion of the empire. So he must've been persuaded at least. So i dont see the point of the jews in mecca to defend the Kabaa unless it had some religious significance to it ( which it did ) and keep in mind this took place centuries before islam
    the kaaba existed way before the pagans lol. so when the prophet (pbuh) restored it to monotheism practices it wasnt because it was originally for pagans. it was originally for Jews . Jews were in Mecca long before the Pagans of Arabia.

    • @Women4Theology
      @Women4Theology  29 днів тому

      So 1- not the stone itself but many do believe the hajj rituals in the pilgrimage forgives sins which is crazy there’s nothing in Christian or Jewish writing that God told is to do this…...2 there is no evidence that the valley of baca is in Mecca this is just an assumption and it says in that verse pilgrims passed through baca… the writer of the psalm is not talking about people going TO Mecca for pilgrimage , they are going to ZION which is Jerusalem. It’s known already in Jewish tradition and it’s written all over the Hebrew texts that the pilgrimage was in Jerusalem…. There’s nothing about God wanting his people to go Saudi Arabia and do pilgrimage at a Kaaba that’s a ridiculous argument. You clearly don’t know the Bible or its historical context….3 of course there have been Jews in Mecca , there were Jews all over the world in almost every country.. and let’s say Mohammed’s time they used the Kaaba for worship..well that means nothing really because we’re got atheist Jews, pagan Jews, Buddhist Jews, ect… that has zero to do anything. What the Jews may have done in a pagan temple in Mohammed’s time (which he was also a pagan) doesn’t mean anything. The Jews have been disobeying God and worshipping idols for hundreds of years, we read all about this in the Hebrew Scriptures. You have to go what the scriptures say and what God said. There’s nothing in any Christian or Hebrew texts that say go to Mecca, circle around the Kaaba , touch or kiss a stone, ect ect…that was from Mohammad’s own previous practices he integrated into his new religion.

      @@Women4Theology 1 : yes they do similar traditions though ? such as "pilgrimage to jerusalem" they would offer sacrifices in the temple of jerusalem in the past. christians also pilgrim to jerusalem but its different than what the jews do. nonetheless still similar traditions but different waypoints. Western Wall of Kotel is also similar to hajj. its a major prayer site for jews and they engrave prayers on the wall. a bit similar to how muslims do Tawaf.
      2: bakka is litreally the old name for mecca and ancient traders used to call it that so did the south Arabians ( sabeans). also that's why i said "even if this wasn't the case " the term bakkah being used as a waypoint that's close to jerusalem isn't also confirmed its a Geographical Hypotheses. also it could be a symbolic Interpretation scholars believe the Valley of Baca is metaphorical, representing any place of suffering or trial that believers pass through on their journey to a deeper relationship with God. while you say there is no evidence to support that baca was modern day mecca. there is no evidence supporting baca to also be a place near Jerusalem
      3-sure Jews lived everywhere but i literally see no point in them risking their lives for it. also you say jews were disobeying god and worshipping idols Yet you did the same. the 10 commandments mention Thou shalt have no other gods before me" Or “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” god or should i say yahweh or the " father " never mentioned to worship his other version. and keep in mind the 10 commandments are something jews and christians believe in universally. or Ex. 20:4-6. "
      You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
      God clearly mentioning to not make any images of heavenly or earthly figures or beyond. yet i see Mosaics and tapestries of Christ in your churches you call jews pagans while you deny what god has said. also you mention that neither jewish or biblical texts show any evidence of rituals similar to hajj yet you have traditions in jewish texts like pilgrim to jerusalem for the western wall of kotel were jews would usually engrave their prayers on the walls. Or The red heifer ritual. where you offer a cow with specific features as a sacrifice/ offering. Muslims do the same. except we do it as a symbolism to god stopping Abraham from killing his son and instead giving him a cow to sacrifice instead. also some Christians pilgrim to antiago de Compostela. which was built way after christ and there is no mentioning of it being a pilgriming site in the bible. you just assumed it was a place to pilgrim because it had the remains of Saint James the Great thus making it a pilgrimage site. also you call kissing the black stone part of muhammed's old paganism rituals but you kiss crosses as a way to honour christ's sacrifice. i dont see the bible mentioning anything about kissing crosses. it was a tradition later invented to honour christ. also you say hajj is inspired by mohammed's past paganisim practices. yet muhammed historically CONFIRMED and had witneses with him that he was never a pagan. infact the day he first got revelations was the same day a pagan celebration was going on in mecca. muhammed went to mount hira to avoid it. i dont see why muhammed the pagan according to you would try to run away from his practices??? not only did he confirm he was never a pagan. pagan practices and hajj were different too. i dont get why a " pagan" according to you would destroy idol statues if he was one that literally contradicts him ever being a pagan.

    The video was going okay for a bit but after all those speculations it really ruined the video.
    1. In 9:57 i dont see why its a confusing for you because Ishmael and Abraham were born 2,500 years before Muhammad. And according to hadith tradition.
    2. Also Muhammad was never a pagan before Islam. So he couldnt just 'return to pagan rituals because he wasnt being popular' because if he actually wanted that he would just give into the Qurayshi demands in the first place. On the contrary it would have been BAD PR to turn away from Jerusalem. So it couldnt have been for PR.
    3. NO it is not obligatory to kiss the stone or anything like that. According to Sahih al-Bukhari 1597 Umar - a companion of the Prophet - said that had it not been for the fact that Muhammad showed respect to the stone, he wouldnt have. That stone was only a blessing and no more than that.
    4. The pagan arabs made anything they could into idols at that time. so the black stone being a victim of that isnt proving anything.
    5. If the stone did come from a meteorite or such it wouldn't contradict anything as thats typically how you'd interpret the stone "coming from heaven". Also there is little archeological evidence for most of the life of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac so trying to find evidence for a specific event about them outside scripture is pointless. What we do know is that Ishmael was sent to Arabia.
    I know you have your beliefs and I have mine. But it is my request to please look into things more deeply rather than on the surface before making some content about them. Specifically when the thumbnail is "The Real History of the Kaaba" rather than "My thoughts on the Kaaba". Some things you said were very misleading so i hope you are able to correct this mistake.

      Once upon a time, the Moon God married Shams Al-Shumus, the Sun Goddess; together they had three goddesses: Al-lat, Al-uzza (both named after their father) and Manat, aka, “The Daughters of ALLAH” (Allah itself came from the Canaanite god, Ba’al).
