The people of Mecca worshipped many pagan gods at that time. They had hundreds of Idols in the Kaaba which they worshipped, along with their ancestors. Some people also believe that they worshipped the Moon God and called him Allah, though Muslims deny this vehemently.
This period of time before Mohammed’s revelations is referred to by Muslims as Jahiliyyah or “the time of ignorance.” Muslims believe that the Arabs had no knowledge of Allah at that time (remember this, it is important).
Mohammed’s revelations would later be written down in the Koran. Muslims believe the Koran to be the verbatim word of God which is eternal and perfect in every way (remember this, it is also very important).
Many of Mohammed’s contemporaries were sceptical of his claims to say the least. No-one knew where the Sun went to in those days of course, so they asked Mohammed.
This put him in a bit of a bind. Of course, Mohammed had no more clue than anyone else where the Sun went to. He could have been honest of course, and told people that he just didn’t know. Unfortunately, they would then have known that he wasn’t really a prophet at all.
Instead, he invented the following revelation from Allah, which is recorded for posterity in the Koran chapter 18 verses 83-86 (as well as other parts of sacred Islamic doctrine):
So he followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water.
So there we have it. To be a Muslim we have to accept that the Koran is perfect. The Koran tells us that the Sun sets in a muddy pool. From this, we can further deduce that the world is completely flat. Most Muslims are unaware of this stupidity of course.
There was the incident in 1993 when the supreme religious leader of the University of Medina (one of the two holiest cities in Islam) published a book declaring that, “The earth is flat, and anyone who disputes this claim is an atheist who deserves to be punished.” MORE
Well! Good to know the “science” IS finally settled on that one.
Except…when the sun is ready to rise, how does it get out of that “spring of black muddy (or hot) water” in the West and get back over to the East?
Make sure you have enough magazines.
@Czar OD: Simple – it trots over to the edge of the (flat) Earth, goes over it, and rolls along the bottom of the world (gravity being reversed on the underside, don’cha know) until it gets back to the East, where by then it is time to rise once more.
Geez, I hate it when I have to explain basic science.
😉
Geez, it looks like an orange slice in a mud puddle to me. But what do know since I believe in what I see and if it’s an orange in a mud puddle it must be an orange in a mud puddle and nothing else. You know the old sayings, A tiger is a tiger is a tiger. And if it swims like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s a duck.
Who knew mojamed was as good as L. Ron Hubbard at making things up?
Thanks for clearing this up for me.
I guess this is also (Vietvet’s explo) on how the Cowboys in my old westerns returned to fight another day after riding into the seting sun.
When the first nuke hits mecca, it will probably look very much like the sun setting in a muddy hole. Sorry, mohammed, that’s the best we can do to make your dream come true.
Makes me wonder what their beliefs are concerning Global Warming… ooops, I mean Climate Change. Its important that we all know.
Islam does not believe that man is made in the image of God (this is very important as well).
Here’s the heart of Muslim belief that everyone – especially those knowledgeable about the belief system – miss: Being a “perfect Muslim” means emulating Mohammed who is considered the “perfect man”. Mohammad was a murderous, pedophile, psychopath warlord. Every jihadist is admired by Muslims when they murder non-Muslims – even when there is collateral damage.
In Christianity, believers are encouraged to follow the teachings of Christ and saints are revered for being as Christ-like as humanly possible.
The two examples of perfect human behavior cannot be more different and, until this is fully exposed, understood and changes made to Islamic belief, Muslims will pose a threat to anyone who does not share their ideology 100%.
Being a muslim means ANY and ALL time is a “time of ignorance.”
The Muslims must have invented man made global warming!
To kill one another over what imaginary friends supposedly said. . . if mankind doesn’t outgrow the fairy tales of our collective childhood we will destroy ourselves because of them.
“To kill one another over what imaginary friends supposedly said….”
True. We should only kill each other over what self-serving politicians and progressives say.
The Earth isn’t flat and Allah can’t do shit about it.
Paul warned us about this, the Mormons and the Scientologists; “If we, or an angel from heaven, preaches a gospel contrary to this gospel, let him be accursed.”
“Some people also believe that they worshipped the Moon God and called him Allah, though Muslims deny this vehemently.”
So how do they explain the crescent moon being the symbol of their fake religion?
Tony R,
They were late to the party and all the good shapes were taken.
Not to be left out of dihimmi blind faith, some celebrities are in lock step with flat earth stupidity; http://people.com/celebrity/flat-earth-celebrities-world-not-round/amp/ .
BTW, The following is what The True and Living God thinks about Moon worship;
Isaiah 1:13-15
“Stop bringing meaningless offerings!
Your incense is detestable to me.
New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals
I hate with all my being.
They have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.”
Your hands are full of blood!
It’s appalling, but He was talking to believers. Imagine how pissed He is with heathen antics.
Mohammned’s “revelation” was that he observed how the Jew’s were united because they only had one God, and the Christians were united because they had one God, whereas his tribes and people were always infighting and killing each other over who’s god (idol) was more powerful (instead of banding together to kill Jews and Christians). So he decided which one of those idols would become their god, and proceeded to destroy all the other idols, and any villages or people who weren’t willing to go along with the plan were slaughtered. Then he and his followers created their own “religious” book, and to make it appear legitimate, pirated prophets from the Jewish and Christian texts. Subsequent earlier imams added to the koran to fit whatever atrocities they wanted to commit. If you ever read even a little bit of the koran, you will notice that so called “first hand” accounts are described as something like “ ahmed’s mother’s sister’s cousin’s husband’s brother” witnessed blah blah blah.
I particularly like the part where mohamhead flew to Jerusalem and back in one night on a flying horse. This is the basis of their claim to Jerusalem. And I can’t begin to tell you how pissed I am that there is no longer a single Christian in Bethlehem. I don’t understand why Israel doesn’t expel every koranimal from their country.
Can you imagine the uproar if they did that, RottyLover?
There’s also the time that Mohammad reportedly drew his sword and cut the moon in half.
It got better, I guess.
