Hi everyone and welcome, this is the apostate prophet
I want to talk about an important matter that I have briefly brought up in two videos before
as a former Muslim I think it is one of the strongest arguments or even proofs against Islam
and although it is about Islam in the Bible
It's not only relevant to Christians, Jews and Muslims
it is relevant to anyone who thinks about Islam's authenticity
or anyone who believes in it without ever having questioned it
I explained before that The Kaaba is the most important religious site in Islam
The Quran itself announces its holiness and tells Muslims to face it and to visit it
Muslims pray toward the Kaaba whenever they pray
and the Quran and Muhammad alleged that it was built by Abraham and Ishmael
The black stone at the corner of the Kaaba is also of great importance and considered sacred
so much that it will speak in heaven
A stone
Now according to Islamic belief
According to the Quran and Muhammad
Allah is the same God who also sends the biblical prophets
and the Torah, the psalms and the gospel
This is already in conflict with Christianity and Judaism because according to both religions
Even according to the books. The books were not sent by God
They were written by the prophets and apostles with inspiration from God
Many Muslims don't even know this
Especially the Psalms are songs and hymns
Imagine Allah writing songs for himself and sending them to the believers,
Like yo, check this out, I just wrote this new song.
I had this question very early around my apostasy
Is the Kaaba not mentioned in the holy text before the Quran? If not, why not?
Did Allah not care about the Kaaba back then?
although in the Quran he says
That the Kaaba was built by Abraham as the most important altar for Allah
or the first one
or did Christians and Jews secretly corrupt the Bible
and removed all the references of the Kaaba
for some weird reason like traveling to hell all together voluntarily
In the Quran, Mecca is even called 'the mother of cities'
and is an extremely important site where most biblical events allegedly took place
but once we take a look at the Bible
We see that something is heavily wrong
about the Quran and the whole Kaaba, Mecca thing
first off, the Kaaba is nowhere mentioned in the Bible
secondly, Abraham built more than just one altar according to the Bible.
most importantly, there are four altars that he is believed to have built
The Altar of Praise in Shechem, which is here
It's even mentioned that the Canaanites were there
who did live in this region
the second altar is The Altar of Prayer, built in Bethel
which is located to the north of Jerusalem, around here
in the bible, it's even described that he went to Egypt after building this altar
and came back to the altar from there
The third altar; The Altar of Peace
Not to be confused with the religion of peace
is in Mamre near Hebron, which is here
and the fourth altar is The Altar of Provision
the most important one, where he was tested to sacrifice Isaac
according to the Bible
That altar was on the Mount of Moriah in Moriah,
which is here right next to Jerusalem
of course Islamic apologists believe that it was here instead
Abraham just walked from here to here to make a sacrifice
Sure
They might have been more altars according to Christian and Jewish belief
But these are the four altars, the important ones mentioned in the Bible
As you can see, all of them are in this region
Which is no surprise considering that locations where Abraham went
according to the Bible are also in these regions
But Islamic apologists take references from the Quran
and suggest that all of that actually took place here
Which is of course totally believable and reliable, very legit
This is also an example of how Islamic scholars deceive you
especially how they deceive Muslim believers
while making explanations on how the Kaaba is holy
and taking short references from the Bible
They ignore all the surrounding clear details,
which completely prove them wrong
another aspect I want to add to the discussion
is that Mecca and Kaaba were of no importance to the Christians and Jews at all ever.
Christians and Jews are also religious people
who believe they will be saved if they believe in God and follow him properly
So if the Kaaba was that God's most important site on earth
Why would the Christians and Jews just abandoned that and never care about it?
Why would they change their own Scripture as Muslims today believe
and corrupt their own religion, their own faith
Their own afterlife, because they all wanted to go to hell?
Makes no sense
The only explanation we have is that the Kaaba and Mecca
were never of any importance to Christians and Jews and the Bible
Because they were never mentioned in Christian or Jewish texts
Mecca was a nowhere before Islam turned it into the center of their faith
It was a pagan settlement of no importance to the world
and the Kaaba was a regular pagan, Arab pagan artifact
and so was the black stone which is attached to it
Abrahamic religions don't revere old holy stones,
but pre-Abrahamic semitic religions are did
And Arab paganism was a pre Abrahamic Semitic collection of beliefs
It looks like Islam just adopted those pagan qualities
But since we are here
Let's also refute a common suggestion made by Islamic Apologists
about Mecca in the Bible
as if there is any chance left to still believe in such a thing
Mecca is mentioned nowhere in the Bible
How could it be Mecca doesn't appear in any written text
any literature until the eighth century, one century after Islam and Muhammad
this should be a big surprise to Muslims
and yet it is a very easy, a very clear fact
that you can easily check
Some Muslim apologists suggest that Mecca is mentioned in the Bible
in the Psalms, in a song
as the Valley of Baka, since Mecca is also called Becca in the Quran
But this could also be considered a joke
since the chapter talks about the pilgrimage to God's house
Jerusalem and the Valley of Baka mentioned here is a place close to Jerusalem
Which is definitely not this place
Jewish commenters always described it as the valley of the tree
which by the way is the literal translation of the Hebrew verse
The same word bakka is even used in the books of Samuel and is a place
again a place of the tree very close to Jerusalem
You realize how funny this Islamic suggestion is
when you also realize that interpreting this verse as pointing to Mecca
was first introduced by
Muslims
Mecca is not mentioned in the Bible
As you can see while Muslims believe that the Kaaba is the house of God
The most important place on our planet
the first altar, the focus of the world and of God
None of that is found in the older texts at all.
Islam is not reliable and its account of history and faith are unauthentic
even its appeals to the Bible are heavily lacking and flawed
Islam can't even properly copy the religions it claims to be based on
How can it be accurate in any other way
Islam is false
