Assalamu alaikum.

I recently came across the following page describing many practices in Islam supposedly borrowed from pagan origins:

I have read various refutations of some of these points, but not of all of them. Can someone please direct me to a good source discussing these alleged pagan origins of Islam?

JazakAllah Khayran for all of your help in helping strengthen all of our faiths.

dont reply focus on your ibadah. Christians are foolish , even if Isa(A.S) comes and tells them "Pray to Allah", they will teach trinity to him & give our Isa Nabi a free Bible.

Senseless people...they wont listen to Muslim's dawah. Hindus are 100000 times better.

I'm not sure borrow is the right word. Borrow is when you take something with permission and then give it back quite soon or at an agreed time period.

And I don't agree with Islam being taken from the pagans, many pagan acts were abolished in Islam such as bowing down to the statues of God at the kabba in Mecca.

They are a few who published works that, amazingly, are rejected by other orientalists because of their absurd "academic studies" that disregard all other evidences which were accepted by other orientalists for centuries. Personally I think it's just a waste of time to read those absurd "theories" (moon-worshipping, the origin of Ka'bah, multiple version of Quran found in Yemen, and so on). Actually, those examples that I listed have been thoroughly refuted by our brothers and sisters almost immediately after those "theories" surfaced. Actually, it wasn't even worth it to be called "theories". It's more of slanders than theories because of the blatant disregard of available evidences which were already accepted by other orientalists long time ago.

Do people know the kabba site also contained the skull and horns of the ram sacrificed by Ibrahim (pbuh), we don't have them now cos the we're lost in fire. But anyway why would the Arabs keep such an item at their pagan shrine?

Brothers and sisters,

The hatred and malevolence towards Islam from Westerner Christians is NOT based on reason. It's based on prejudice and bigotry. And spreading lies and slander serves to sustain their bigotry.


From the Holy Quran which means 5:42: They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful 21:18:

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe. Today's American Christian groups adopt Americanized Christianity to uphold their prejudices of the world, to sustain their ethnocentric worldview. Hence, to them, Jesus spoke American english and was a capitalist and waved the Red White and Blue!



One of the factors of hatred towards Islam from American Christians is because Islam is based in Arabia, the arabic language, and was sent to Arab tribes. To them, Arabia is a foreign land, the language is alien, and Arabs are seen as 'colored' people. Hence, it is of alien and inferior origins. Take a good look at Mitt Romney and Mormonism.
Mormonism is a deviant sect of Christianity from an American false prophet who emerged solely from America. For many decades, they considered all people of color as inferior. Today, America wages war on all kinds of things: War on Poverty, War on AIDS, War on Drugs, War on Illiteracy, War on Bullying' but they mock the idea of 'jihad'?

And of course the most famous slanderous evil which they spout is against Allah , arrogantly mocking His Names, largely because they are in Arabic, not because they are sensible or thoughtful. These kinds of Christians are bigots and rooted in the same devilry as Iblis.


15:33.34 [ Allah ] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud." Bigotry and kufr go hand and hand, folks.


and Allah knows best.
