It’s not just in the Law of Moses (Torah) that we see God speaking against the idolatry of raising a stone image in the land (Leviticus 26:1) but we also see in the New Testament that keeping in a temple a stone “fallen from heaven” is pagan tradition.
Have pagans not idolized a stone FALLEN FROM HEAVEN before? What Muslims idolize is not different but a repackaging of what the pagans of Ephesus idolized, because Satan keeps reinventing himself variously and in different locations as Baal, Hubal, Zues or Jupiter etc
The temple of Zues in Ephesus also housed a IMAGE WHICH FELL FROM HEAVEN!
“But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: “Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess Diana, and of the IMAGE WHICH FELL DOWN FROM ZEUS (also known as Jupiter the god of the heavens)? (Acts 19:34-35)
Have we not heard this before? AN IMAGE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN housed in a temple with the chant “Great is Diana” and A STONE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN (al-Tirmidhi, 877; Ahmad, 2792) housed in the Kaaba with the chant “Allah is Greatest”?
(the Hajr e aswad IS an IMAGE through which Muslims make bay’ah to their god Allah)
The practice of venerating a stone FALLEN FROM HEAVEN is therefore an ancient trick pulled by Shaitan who himself is FALLEN FROM HEAVEN. It’s happened many times before!
Muhammad sanitized, normalized and moralized Hubal’s pagan Kaaba through name-dropping when QS 2:127 and QS 22:26-27 claimed the names of Abraham and Ishmael as having built the Kaaba. It is a big, big lie!
From the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms there is no evidence whatsoever of these names ever participating in building the Kaaba of Allah.
As they say: ‘Fool ME once, shame on YOU; fool ME twice shame on ME’. Or better still: “When the facts change, I change my opinion. What do you do?”
