Why is there no evidence that Abraham and his family made an exodus to Mecca and built the Islamic Kabba?

Question

If it is such an important place, why was it not mentioned in ANY "inspired" scripture except the Quran? Do Islamic scholars insist it is because there is some kind of anti-Mohammadean cover-up conspiracy?

What a shame if it is true that Abraham DID cross 1000 km of desert to build a holy altar with his son Ishmael, and then Arabs turned it into a shopping mall for idolatry.

The only mention of Abraham's presence deep in the Arabian desert came more than 2000 years after Abraham even lived...in a book containing the recorded words of an Arabic salesman who married a rich widow who had Arabic "Christian" relatives.

Even the Qur'an says that it is a BOOK (before it was composed as a book) which is given in Arabic, so that Arabs can understand God's word.

Does it seem improbable that the story of Abraham building the Kabba might be concocted to shift attention away from Israel and bring it closer to the story teller's home in a way that his people would easily accept?

Answer 1

No, it is NOT true.

But it IS a very funny idea.

Answer 2

The mention of a Ka'ba does not necessarily infer Mecca (as so many Muslims have been quick to point out), since there were other Ka'bas in existence during that time, usually in market-towns.

There has always been doubt concerning the stories of Abraham and the Patriarchs found in the books attributed to Moses, the Pentateuch.
The skeptics maintained that there is no method of ascertaining their reliability since we have no corroboration from external secular accounts. This has all changed; for instance:

According to the historians there were no Hittites at the time of Abraham, thus the historicity of the Biblical accounts describing them was questionable. Now we know from inscriptions of that period that there were 1,200 years of Hittite civilization, much of it corresponding with the Patriarchal period.

Historians also told us that no such people as the Horites existed. It is these people whom we find mentioned in the genealogy of Esau in Genesis 36:20. Yet now they have been discovered as a group of warriors also living in Mesopotamia during the Patriarchal period.

The strongest case for extra-Biblical corroboration of the Patriarchal period is found in four sets of tablets which have been and are continuing to be uncovered from that area of the world. They demonstrate that the Biblical account is indeed historically reliable.

While documentary evidence for the Bible in the form of secular inscriptions and tablets not only corroborates the existence of some of the oldest Biblical traditions, similar and more recent documentary evidence (such as the Doctrina Iacobi, and the Armenian Chronicler) eradicates some of the more cherished Islamic traditions, that Islam was a uniquely Arab creation, and that Mecca, the supposed centre for Islam, has little historicity whatsoever before or during the time of Muhammad.

Both the Jews and Arabs ( Mahgraye') maintained a common descent from Abraham who was known to have lived and died in Palestine, as has been corroborated by recent archaeological discoveries.
Compared to the Biblical archaeological evidence, there is no archaeological evidence for Adam, Abraham, or Ishmael in Arabia!

Answer 3

You're asking as if there is really any evidence for any of religious beliefs.

All that is made up stuff by who knows who.

How can we know that all those people who wrote these books over 100 years were totally sane and had no mental problems, or that they never got drunk and wrote a single word in it?

Answer 4

Since it was not stated in your holy book, then it must be true? And btw your book stated earth is less than 10,000 years.

There is also no evidence of jesus truly existed. You must be a worshiper of satan then.

Answer 6

I'm not aware of any credible historians who say that Abraham actually existed.
