What was the belief of Mohammed's father/grandparents?

Question

Islam was born 600 years after Christ, before Islam, what is the beliefs/religion of the people in the middleast?

Answer 1

When exposing occultism in the family of Mohammed, we are not showing prejudice or unfairness to Muslims; rather, we are simply presenting the truth, as recorded in Islamic literature. Unfortunately, the Islamic historians, who recorded such occult phenomenon, failed to recognize that such occultism is directly contradictory to: the nature, the call, and the word of the true God.

Will our Muslim friends today fail to continue to be able to discern the real spiritual forces, which under lied Mohammed and his family? An honest study of the life of the members of the family of Mohammed will help us to clarify this problem. We will begin with the grandfather of Mohammed, Abu Mutaleb, who was known as the worshiper of Asaf and Naelah.



What was the True Religion of Abdul Mutaleb?

Asaf and Naelah were two Kuhhan, priests of the Jinn-devils. Tradition asserts that the gods transformed them into two stones, because they committed fornication inside the Kaa’bah of Mecca.

The statues of Asaf and Naelah were also placed on the well of Zamzam. Ibn Hisham, who edited the oldest book on the life of Mohammed, says these statues were worshipped at the well of Zamzam. He tells us the worshippers sacrificed their animals to the statues there. This suggests to us that the well of Zamzam was dedicated to the worship of the two priests of the Jinn, which the statues represented. It was Abdel Mutaleb, the grandfather of Mohammed, who dedicated the well of Zamzam to the two venerated Jinn priests and their statues. We draw this conclusion for many reasons. First, Abdel Mutaleb dug the well of Zamzam. Second, Abdel Mutaleb was one of the worshippers of the statues of the two Jinn priests. He was so consumed by occult worship that he wanted to sacrifice one of his own sons at the feet of the two statues at Zamzam. That son was Abdullah, the father of Mohammed. When Abdel Mutaleb was at the point of killing Abdullah with his knife, Abdel Mutaleb's brother rescued the boy.

The idea of sacrificing one’s son to the Jinn or their representatives, the venerated leaders and priests, is known, not only in Arabia, but also in other parts of the ancient world. Even to this day worshippers in the occult religions sacrifice children to devils. The fact that Abdul Mutaleb chose to sacrifice his son before these two statues reveals that the religion of the Jinn of Arabia was the religion to which he was most attached.

The third reason for concluding that Abdul Mutaleb dedicated the well of Zamzam to the statues of the Jinn priests who were venerated in Mecca is that Abdul Mutaleb showed he had a close relationship with the representatives of the Arabian Jinn religion. Those representatives, or priests, were called Kuhhan, the singular of which is Kahen. Abdul Mutaleb consulted the Kuhhan when he faced a problem. They were his counselors, and he used to travel great distances in order to meet and consult a famous Kahen. When a dispute between the tribe of Quraish and Abdel Mutaleb occurred because of the well of Zamzam, Abdel Mutaleb chose a famous Kahinah of Jinn to rule in the matter. This Kahinah was the one who appointed two dangerous Kuhhan of the Jinn, Satih and Shak', to be priests of the Jinn after her death. Al-Halabieh says about these two Kuhhan of the Jinn:

They were the chiefs of the Kuhhan and the ones with knowledge about occultism and the priesthood to the Jinn.


Ibn Hisham mentions about this Kahinah, “She was the Kahinah of the clan of Saad Hutheim.”When a dispute arose between Abdel Mutaleb and Beni Kilab, which means the clan of Kilab, Abdel Mutaleb went to a Kahen of the Jinn called Rabiah Bin H'thar al-Asadi to judge the matter. Consulting the Kuhhan of the Jinn was something that the grandfathers of Mohammed practiced. Hisham, the father of Abdel Mutaleb, was known to consult a main Kahen of the tribe of Khuzaa'h. Many examples such as these shed light to the affiliation of the family and the ancestors of Mohammed to the religion of Jinn in Arabia.

As if this were not convincing enough, two more considerations prove that Abdul Mutaleb was a leader in the Arabian Jinn religion. When Abdel Mutaleb dedicated his son Abdullah, who became the father of Mohammed, he did it through a Kahinah, a female Kahen, under the instruction of the Jinn to whom she was connected. The biographers of Mohammed, including Ibn Hisham, Mohammed’s most authoritative biographer, tell us that Abdel Mutaleb took Abdullah to a Jinn priestess named Khutbah. She lived in the city of Khaybar located in north central Arabia. When he visited Khutbah, Abdul Mutaleb expressed his readiness to kill his son if the priestess of Jinn ordered him to do so. It is clear that children born to the followers of occult sects were to be sacrificed to the malignant spirit connected with the medium or priest of the occult community. The spirit may ask that the child be killed as a sacrifice to the devil, or the priests may ask the child’s parents to present dogs or other animals to the malignant spirit as sacrifices. It is clear that, in the case of Abdul Mutaleb, we encounter the same occult phenomenon which is practiced among various occult sects. The spirits of Jinn-devils rule over the destiny of children who are born within the occult community. This was the reason many children were sacrificed to the devil.

We see the dedication of Abdel Mutaleb to the religious system which Khutbah represented. Abdel Mutaleb was ready to obey the decision of the Jinn-devil to whom Khutbah was a medium and a priest, in whatever the Jinn decided for his son. Ibn Hisham reports the answer the Jinn priestess gave to Abdel Mutaleb’s request: “Return to me after one day until the one to whom I am connected comes to me.” By this she meant the Jinn-devil. The Jinn-devil came to her and told her that camels should be sacrificed instead of Abdullah, who became the father of Mohammed.

Answer 2

It was very similar to that of the Hebrews before Abraham; a combination of polytheistic (many gods) and amimistic (a belief in particular personalized, spirits that live in natural objects, like rocks, trees, fire, bodies of water...) There were many sacred stones, which were considered to have divine power. By rubbing, kissing, or stroking them, it was thought that some of that power was transferred to the person. Trees and springs had particular spirits. These were less important than the gods of heaven; the supreme being Allah, which literally means THE god, who was the creator of the world. Also important was Allat, a moon goddess, who was somewhat like Astarte and Isis in other parts of the Middle East. Other goddesses were Uzza, the planet Venus, and Manat, the Goddess of Fate, who controlled the fortunes of people. Al-Uzza wa a goddess associated with stone pillars, who required human sacrifice. The Quraysh, the tribe Mohammed belonged to, was especially devoted to Al-Uzza. She was also associated with the Kabah, a center of pilgrimage. It is a cube-like structure built over a sacred black stone. At that time it was associated with many gods and goddesses, but not Allah. Every year there was a 4 month truce, which allowed people from many tribes to gather peacefully at the Kabah. The rites included running a race between two hills, which carried over into Islam after Mohammed dictated the Quran, and established a monotheistic (one God) religion. There was also a little Judaism and Christian influence brought in by settlers in the north, where Yemen is, and about half the population of Medina was Jewish. Nestorian and Monophysite Christians were big in Mecca.

Things were pretty barbaric. People felt no obligation to anyone outside their tribe. Resources were scarce, and so there was a lot of inter-tribal theft, warfare, and blood feuds that lasted generations. Gambling was rampant and out of control, there was a lot of drunkeness, and the gods and godesses didn't provide any check on this behavior. Most spirits that lived in objects were demons called jinn. They were terrifying, but had no attributes that modified people's behavior. Women were treated as property, like your horse or your cow,and had no rights at all. This was the environment that Mohammed grew up in. Islam, pretty obviously, was a great improvement.

Answer 3

some people were still believing in the religion of Ismael (pbuh) they were called Hunafa' .. (Ismael the son of Abraham was a prophet who lived in Mecca) But almost all the others were Pagans ..However they still believed that Allah is the only creator .. they worshipped idols only to make them close to him and as intercessors.

- They serve, besides Allah, things that hurt them not nor profit them, and they say: these are our intercessors with Allah. say: do ye indeed inform Allah of something he knows not, in the heavens or on earth? Glory to him and far is he above the partners they ascribe (to him)

- If indeed thou ask them who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law), they will certainly reply, Allah. How are they then deluded Away (from the truth)?
