muslims, why you go to Mecca to worship a blackstone, kaaba?

Question

Satan has deceived you all to think that it is not idol worship. As christians, we believe that wherever we gather to worship, Jesus will amidst of us and we need not go for a holy place to have virtue to go to heaven. It is deception of Satan. So muslims come out of it. Let God open your eyes.

Answer 1

we dont go to Mecca to worship a blackstone who told u that we go there because god told us to which is send by prophet muhammad.

Answer 2

look, im not muslim or christian, ive studied too many religions (over 40) and they all have hypocricies, and all have symilaties, and did you know your christian religion actually stems off of another religion Mithraism, which was around 1400 years BEFORE the birth of Jesus, yet has the same story line...hmm. but stop trying to bash other religions, or force your beliefs on people when you dont know much about either religion. It's really immature to tell someone "satan is decieving you" all you are doing is judging a religion you obviously do not know.. and if muslims doing that, how is christians have an idol to.. the cross. HELLO YOURE BEING A HYPOCRITE. you obviously do not know much about either religion bc 1, if you TRULY were christian you wouldnt be saying that satan is doing blah blah blah and judging muslims. and also you saying "let God open your eyes" you are either 1 just trying to start $Hit, or 2 a dumbass bc how is telling them to let YOUR God open their eyes gonna do anything, when they believe in their own God. So stop being the f*ing arrogant @$$ you are and go and actually learn about religions. OK? thanks

Answer 3

Sorry You have wrong conclusion about haj pilgrimage or umroh for muslims by visiting Medinaa,Mecca,Mina and Arafaah.We do not worship the blackstone on the corner of Kabaa.Kabaa is the God's(Allah)house.It is the centre of this world.Adam first built the Kabaa and then rebuilt several times among other by Abraham and Ismael.The blackstone is called hajar aswad came from heaven..We say allah hu akbar (Allah the greatest)if we see the blsackstone.
We muslims worship only to Allah the only one God .No other God than Allah who has no son.It is the principle of monothe ism since Adam up to now.Islam is consistent to this princip
le.So we respect and acknowledge Jesus as the prophet but he was not the son of Allah.It is illogic if Allah has a son.Allah has no wife and no parents too.It is illogic too that Jesus is amidst of you.Jesus did not die on the woodcross.He was saved by Allah .He is near Allah now same like other prophets including Muhammad pbuh..You are tempted by satans that you convince you will automatically go to heaven.All of us including you will be measured in the final and fair judge by Allah after resurrection day.If you do not believe to Allah only and you have more wrong doings than good doings you will be taken into hell..Jesus will not help you because that is your mistakes.You will bear your own sins..Good muslims with a strong faith to Allah can not be tempted by satans.Satans will be afraid if we say la illah ha ilallah.Muslims will go to the holy places in Mecca and other places only once during their lives as fulfilling islamic obligation if we are competent to do that.We worship Allah and make a procession of haj pilgrimage to follow Abraham prophet. our ancestor for you and me too.If you do not believe me please make a comparative study between Bible anmd Qur'an.

Answer 4

Muslims DONOT worship anything EXCEPT the Creator/the Almighty God/Allah.I think to face to Makkah is to show unity and as a symbol that muslims believe in the unity of God.I know Islam strongly rejects idol worship & No idol to worship in the Holy city of Makkah.

Answer 5

Kaaba, is the oldest and the first house built ever for woshiping Allah. It was built by prophet Ibraham. Allah has commanded muslims in the Holy Quran to visit Kaaba once in a lifetime, not to worship a blackstone, but to obay the command of Allah. However, muslims can worship Allah wherever they are.

Answer 6

well my friend i am afraid that your question shows a severe lack of information about islam (no offense ) , anyway , inorder to understand the piligraming to mecca , you have to understand what Islam means ,,,,,

The word Islam in Arabic is taken from the word : (Tassleem) which means : submission . This is actually the core of Islam ; we have a total belief in our prophit (pbuh) and a blind , immaculous and total belief in god ( Allah) . Are you with me , ok ,,,,,, so , the kaaba was built by Ibraham and Ismail someday in the ancient times , and the piligramming to Mecca is not to roam around a black stone , it is to show submission to the great lord ,,,,, during piligramming all the piligrams are dressed the same ( in white clothe , not sewn) and sandals ; most not cover the whole foot .

So , during piligramming all the pilligrams dress the same so that there is total equality . the piligrams are not aloud to argue , call names , hunt , speack provocatively or satisfy their sexeual desires , and many other things that i might have forgotten .

So , all that is actually to plead Allah to forgive our sins , and the person most clean his / her heart from all the materealistic desires and urges and dedicate himself for a period of time only for Allah.

So , my friend , i think it is a mistake to ignore all this and just say that our religion is about roaming around a stone , that is very unjust.

I have nothing against christianity , and i respect all religions , but before giving accusations please be informed about it from a reliable source.

Answer 7

You get the "Ignoramus of The Day" medal.

First of all we don't worship the Kaaba. But it is symbolic to our religion and prayers because it marks the direction we should all face when we pray. Would you face the the back of the church while you pray in one while everyone else is facing forward in respect? Obviously not.

Your logic is just like me saying WHY DO YOU GO TO CHURCH TO WORSHIP WOOD, THE CRUCIFIX.
Except I'm not that stupid as to make such a claim, because I know you don't.

get your facts straight. then maybe i can take you seriously.

Answer 8

WE do not worship a the Kaabah (The blackstone, we love it because it was always touched by the prophet muhammad , read Islamic history, you'll know why) We Pray to that direction ok!?

Answer 9

we don't worship Mecca we pray tords it. Mecca is actually in the bible as well...

The Bible, in Psalm 84:5,6, mentions the valley of Baca:


Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs: the autumn rains also cover it with pools. (NIV)

Answer 10

I wish Christians would realize that respecting another person's religion is much more "Godly" than bashing people. If someone comes to you for help, great; impart your knowledge to them. If not, leave people alone.
