Refutation: Kaa'ba is a relic of paganism.

:salamext:

^ I know where ur coming from bro, that's what I felt like as well when I became practising. But InshaaAllaah try to learn about the religion more, and have a solid ground for your debates. :)
 
While I understand the concept at work here, namely that Islam always existed so therefore it was a Muslim ritual...from an historical standpoint the Kaaba was a traditional gathering place for pagan tribesmen long before the time of Muhammed. Many of the articles and books I've read that discuss the Kaaba mention Christian Bedoins making a pilgrimage there as well. The site became a center of commerce and trade due to the non-violence pact within twenty miles of the Kaaba... As long as people aren't worshipping the meteorite I don't see an issue there. Usually traditional and cultural activities are incorporated into faith.

Spot on.

In addition to that, I would like to mention that circling around a building or a city as a ritual or a prayer is not something invented by Muslims.

All the best wishes,


Faysal
