FINALLY! We think we know why Mecca was chosen!

  • The Islamic Traditions have always claimed that the Hajj has only occurred in one city: Mecca.
    Yet, the historical record researched by Gibson now suggests that every one of the stages of the Hajj were practiced much earlier and much further north, in fact 600 miles further north, in Petra.
    What's more, the 'Masjid al Haram' (the forbidden place of bowing) Gibson found also existed in Petra long before Mecca.
    Most significantly, however, Gibson discovered that the reasons behind moving out of Petra to Mecca had everything to do with Politics, and virtually nothing to do with theology.
    The pilgrims were simply following the 'black stone', as they believed that God's presence rested with the black stone; so wherever it went, so did God's presence go, which ironically is still today housed on the Eastern corner of the Ka'aba...in Mecca!
    But isn't that idolatrous, and doesn't that commit the one unforgivable sin "Shirk", the belief that equating anything with God (in this case the black stone) is punishable by death?

Hajj pilgrimage in Petra was continued till 1986 . After it was forcefully discontinued by Jordan and UNESCO . Now please focus your attention on the muhmmad biography which is 90 % fabricated .

    It would certainly not make sense when Hagar leaves Abraham, for her to walk in 3 days the vast distance to Mecca in the Hijaz, and only then having accomplished this astounding feat of walkiing a giga-marathon, to then run out of water and go up Safa and Marwa looking for water. So if this apocryphal tale relating to Hagar and Ishmael is true, it would be somewhere within easy reach of the lands between the Negev and Bethel. Petra would be possible, or other locations. Mecca down in Arabian peninsula isn't feasible.

      Hagar’s story is a re-telling of Leto’s destiny. It’s a reflection of a slave-ideology that usually becomes popular among colonised people.
      Hence, You can find a Dionysos temple in the form of Dhusara and an al-Lat temple in Petra that underline their friendly ties with Rome.
      The confusion or controversy over Abraham’s sacrificial attempt is actually a result of Josephus Flavius’ statement that the Arabs are the sons of Ishmael. This re-tracing of ethnical ancestry was further cemented by Ibn Hisham some 600 years later.

      @J DV There are a lot of the practices borrowed from Judaism. Circumambulation, seven times, at the end of the festival of booths is clearly a parallel. The Hebrew word for festival was called a hagg, which is also where we see the word hajj coming from. Abraham's rock over which the Temple is built is another parallel: they couldn't move that down to Mecca but a random black rock did the trick. The Ark of the Covenant was mobile and where the Jews focused on, so this also allows a similar flexibility around the qibla, hence the lack of fuss over the change in qibla.

    I got that Islam is a political religion. That's a strength because the power in charge is legitimized by religion. In case of a doubt, the ruler is in a position allowing him to decide what the truth about his religion is. His very life could be in jeopardy or simply his power. So declaring that dissenters are in the wrong is tempting. Having dissenters' religious writings burned and killed is seriously tempting. It must have happened because of "fitna". Uthman has been killed if I remember correctly and he is fondly remembered. Then, religious civil wars have happened and must have been ferocious. The "power that is" is defining the truth, not the reality on the field. It allows a lot of variants during Islam's history and the entire rewriting of their faith. Owning a different and "better" Quran is then a legitimization of being independent from the central ruler. Textual criticism is then a non-starter. Historical research is simply dangerous to the faith. In the end, the rulers have to reconcile their needs (sometimes survival) with the faith they teach and are in a position they can modify the faith. I see no reason why they would not have done that in the past. This makes erasing older texts a necessity, destroying holy books with too many differences becomes logical. The idea of "the new is better than the old" is highly convenient. This makes a necessary to destroy opposing parties. This gives meaning to the horrendous treatment the body of Ali has been submitted to. Islam being a political religion makes sense. It's not good. The Roman Catholic Church has some sticky stain on her for that same reason.

      @@canonjean-mignon4985 Since Christianity began among a small group of Jesus's followers in Jerusalem, it could not have "began" as 60 or 70 different Christian communities. The existence of Docetism is totally undocumented until AD 200 (so not the "beginnings" of Christianity), and it is obviously an extreme accommodation to Platonism. At the first ecumenical council in AD 325, every single bishop without exception condemned it as a heresy with no hesitation. In the second century, Irenaeus in his refutation of the Gnostics who created a variety of amalgamations of Christianity, paganism, and Platonism, pointed out that in contrast to the secretive Gnostics all of the oldest Christian communities presided over by bishops who had traceable ecclesiastical lineages taught a uniform and transparent doctrine. The "burning issue" of Irenaeus's era was on which date to celebrate Easter. The uniformity of their teaching indicated the authenticity of their faith. Just the opposite of what some contemporary scholars like to argue based on sparse sources mingled with speculation, or by exaggerating minor differences of opinion that coexisted among the bishops without disrupting intercommunion. Serious divisions emerge not at the "beginnings" of the Christian faith, but later on, which is the same pattern we typically find among new religious faiths that begin around a single teacher: beginning with consensus, with aberrant new teachings emerging only later.

    The narrative make good sense as the Abbasid were a power in East of Iran and took over a period of more than fifty years ended with total victories in 750 ( all drawings then of Abbasids era are slanted eye north Asia people with colourful clothing ) is it possible that the black stone (s) were originally in Asia then moved to Petra then to Mecca ( the perplexing stealing it for 22 years in Persia then been returned after long 22 years ! Bizarre story, Which is very long period then !! And seems totally forgotten - then returned by Shia Fatimid

      If you’re thinking of the Qarmatians sack of Mecca and holding the stone hostage, that was in 930 AD. If you’re thinking of a different story, I’d be very interested to learn about that. By the way, St. John of Damascus talks about the black stone and he was born in the Umayyad caliphate and died by 749 before the Abbasids took over. So it’s kinda hard to see how the black stone could have been Persian or Asian.

      Moving a stone is not a complicated task. Since stone worshipping had been practiced in countless regions, there is nothing exiting about these theories.
      The only interesting stories are about the forgotten red and white stones.

    I spent my life until 40 looking for the truth of God and eternity, because I believed salvation should be for everyone; old, young, smart, mentally challenged, rich, poor, black, white, etc.. it shouldn’t be because you understand chakras or climb a mountain on bloodied knees or ring a bell or march a certain number of times around a box and then throw stones. I was raised Catholic, but never understood that salvation was a FREE GIFT, available to anyone willing to humble themselves and receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. Because he did the ultimate for us on the cross to redeem our sins. More than any mere human could ever do with bells and whistles or fasting. It was done with LOVE. Avoid those who teach hate, they are the offspring of a different god, and you don’t want to go to his dwelling for eternity. God bless.☀️

For instance why did the Abbasids hate the Umayyads. What is the 93000 you are referring to. What is the 7000 which was then reduced to 2000. What is the relevance of a building project in Mecca around 697 and what was its purpose. You are supposed to be world class - please act that way and realise that to some of us this is completely new stuff.

    Facts do not support the claim that Petra or Nabataea was Islam’s birthplace or that the real arena of earliest Islam was Nabataea, not Hijaz. Rather, facts support the opposite.
    It appears that, while Muslims in the early Islamic centuries did not have tools to determine the qibla with precision, the early mosques probably pointed neither at Petra nor at Mecca, but they actually followed astronomical alignments; winter sunrise of mosques in Egypt and winter sunsets for mosques in Iraq.
    While the Quranic qibla is a mind’s focus of attention and therefore not a physical direction, its transformation into a physical direction during prayer is clearly a later development, most probably during the late Umayyad or early Abbasid period.
    Now, on one hand, there is no Quranic support whatsoever for the prevalent Muslim belief that Abraham ever visited Mecca or that Kaba at Mecca is the same as Abraham’s original sanctuary at Bakkah, which he reputedly built with his son Ishmael. On the other hand, in our reading, Bakkah in the Quran is an emblem that refers to the original Sanctuary/Institution (bayt) of security and guidance, ‘built’ by Abraham (3:96-97, 2:125-127, 22:26, 6:79), rather than a physical place. Even the biblical mention of ‘the valley of the Baka’ (Psalms 84:1-12) appears no more than allegorical.
    While it is possible that the current Mecca (accepting it as Mecca of 48:24) used to be less important in the earlier Islamic centuries than it is today, we do not think Petra - which lay in ruins in 7th century since it had declined fast after the Roman occupation and a 4th century earthquake - had really anything to do with the emergence of Islam. Also, there is no evidence in the Quran that ‘Mother of Settlements’ (Ummul Qura, 6:92, 42:7) refers to Petra.
    Finally, it is important to note that the tenets of Islam as found in the Quran are universal and therefore not bound or affected by whether any city or land or direction is accepted as original or not (Quran 2:177).
