- The Polytheistic Origins Of Islam: From Stone-Preaching-Polytheism to Allah | [Documentary]
There once was a time in which all imaginable religions were being practiced, in Arabia: from Animism to Polytheism, from Zoroastrianism to Judaism and Christianity, Arabia was a land of diversity, fragmented into hundreds of tribes, mostly at peace among each other.
Religious diversity was so intertwined and chaotic, though, that at one point, the Kaaba, today the most important pilgrimage site in Islam, was said to have been surrounded by hundreds of idols and images of polytheistic deities.
Inside the Kaaba, on its walls, a pair of ram’s horns and paintings of Mary holding Jesus, of Abraham, of angels and of polytheistic tribal deities from all over Arabia, could be found.
…
When Muhammad (ﷺ) returned to Mecca from Medina with his army of Muslim followers, he defeated the ruling tribe of Mecca, the Quraysh. He demolished the idols of the deities that surrounded the Kaaba, and in some accounts (In As-Sirah an-Nabawiyyah by Ibn Hisham), it is said that he spared the paintings of Abraham, Jesus and Mary for a while, as a sign of respect, but later removed them to not confuse the focus of muslims, on any other than Allah.
Years later, the Muslim armies would continue in Muhammad’s (ﷺ) intents, spreading Islam from Mecca and Medina to the furthest corners of the Arabian peninsula. Temples of pagan deities were destroyed, sacred trees were cut, sacred rocks were smashed, and the books mentioning them, burned.
Entire civilizations’ histories and cultures went forgotten in the span of a decade. Animism and polytheism were eradicated… Many were forced to convert, many others willfully chose to do so, with some even happy to let the past go... Monotheism had prevailed.
The Jahiliyyah, or ‘’Age of Ignorance’’, how the early Muslim authors would later write in their books to refer to this period, a period in which humans ‘’willfully’’ chose to pray to statues rather than to the only God, Allah, had come to an end.
Muhammad (ﷺ) achieved to do what nobody else achieved before: the Union of Arabia, with Islam, as its glue.
Islam became the dominant religion of Arabia, and in the span of a few centuries would be destined to spread tenfold to the remotest areas of our planet.
Fast forward to today, the followers of Islam amount to almost 2 billion, and growing…
Though… while writing the script for this documentary, I couldn’t help but notice in amazement that while Muhammad (ﷺ) united so many people under one belief…
…So little, at the same time, has Islam actually changed from that period of supposed darkness and chaos.

Hello everyone!
Did you learn something new from our video?
We create comprehensive summaries of our religious and mythological history with in-depth analysis that is easily understandable for people of any education level. Unfortunately, these videos are very expensive to produce and take a lot of time; this particular one took over six months and several thousand dollars. It's especially challenging when you have a dream, but you’re broke in your twenties! :/
So...
If you believe our work deserves to reach a wider audience to spread knowledge on these topics, please help us grow faster. Your support will not only help with our ongoing work but also cover the costs of translations and narrators in other languages. We already have a Spanish channel, and we aim to produce our videos in Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Indonesian, and more.

@VladRacovitaEN I've learnt that Islam is probably the dumbest of the Abrahamic religions. No one in their right mind would take such a religion seriously.
Yes and thanks also bro Lloyd de jongh is also an youtuber talking about origins of Islam but you went only surface and you took a deep dive . So thanks
Yes that Yemen was a Israelite state ...Islam always took in Jews and the so called beef is fake
How about you get some other religious leaders to talk about this subject other than someone with no educational religious background on Islam.
@@Mre05 Because the religious leaders are full of shit like all Abrahamic religions.
I appreciate how this comment section is not filled with hate
Yes. It is unusually very peaceful. Not even a typical mention of Palestine + flag lol
@@underappreciatedlowquality4240 And not even one of those ragebait "free israel"
I'm Somali and I grew up in a strict Muslim family. The God in Islam is called Allah yet my grandmother would always exclaim, "Yahu!", when I would say or do something extraordinary or outrageous. When informally referring to God we would call God, EL (IL) or ELah (ILah). EL, (IL) also means, eye in Somali. We would call the sun, Qor-Rah, which literally means the neck of Rah. Even the country of Djibouti in northern-most Somalia is the Egyptian name for Thoth. When someone or something is either very extraordinary or very disastrous we call it Baal-layo. In ancient Caananite, Baal is the title for Lord. Most if not all Somalis do not realize the history of these words. Could all these words in the Somali language be remnants of our ancient Cushitic/Caananite/Kemetic past before Islam destroyed all knowledge of it??
Edit: I just read that the word bhaga means lord in Sanskrit. In fact the name Baghdad (bag-dad) means "lord given." What is surprising is my grandmother would exclaim, "Bhaga, Bhaga" when astonished or surprised. I never knew what the hell she meant by that but now I do!
Hey! That's an incredibly, incredibly beautiful comment. Possibily, for me, the most beautiful comment of my channel, as it proved how cultures develop, evolve and spread their knowledge/influence through their words.
I never expected, whatsoever, Somalia would he so influenced with words so common to the Levant and Egypt. They retained these words travelling there for thousands of years!!!
Thank you for your comment. It's a great contribute for those who read under this video.
If you want, there is the video in my channel called: God's insane evolution: From Mesopotamia to Modern Times. It mostly focuses on Mesopotamian mythology and words to prove how the idea of god expanded into modern times, a bit like what you're doing here.

@@slimmoe isn't God in Arabic illah?
You have shared something very exciting. In India, we use the word 'Bhagwan' for God. Sadly, Saudi Arabia is no more a land of religions. Many Muslim nations have no history before the arrival of Islam!

The history of Islam and Mesopotamia is a beautiful and fascinating history. I wish we lived in a world where discovery of knowledge was the driver of society more than profit as it's primary value.
Why would they not know this? Is there origin being suppressed in some manner for some purpose?
Well, actually the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would say that this video is hogwash and that it is nothing but an invention and that everything started with Islam. The pre-islamic Arabia period is almost never covered, or at least, never in detail beyond the ''They were polytheists''. Data is extremely hard to find because the early Muslims destroyed most of the proofs. I read some articles online of students who started some movements in Saudi to push the government to allow some changes, like create Museums of pre-islamic history, (which also cover in detail the traditions present in this video) because they said it would promote tourism to the country. And it would indeed, but pre-islamic history is very at odds with modern islam so their will won't come at an easy cost.

@@mikethomp1440It’s an unfortunate part of most religions, particularly monotheistic ones.
Compounding doctrines over time inevitably lead to direct conflict with the historical elements of the religion. Christians, for example, wholly deny Kollyridianism (the worship of Mary, mother of Jesus as a goddess). Jews deny their henotheism and the fact Canaanites also worshiped Yahweh. Muslims deny the original polytheistic nature of the Kaaba. The list is endless.
The further a religion gets in time from its roots, the harder it works to try and present its current beliefs and doctrines as the way things have always been. So they work very hard to suppress their own history and assail evidence to the contrary as heterodox and blasphemous.
That’s why it’s crucial to keep history and religion separate. Religion has a tendency to try and change or erase history and is unreliable as a record of reality.
Wow what a great lecture & I'm also a historian nut when it comes to religion & others. Great video and thanks for making this (love this channel)👍🙏😇❤❤❤
Hey!
Very happy that you liked it! We bring very few videos on this channel, once every 1-3 months, but we strive to make the best we can. The next video is going to be about the origins of the Kaaba of Mecca and about the other Kaabas, + their gods inside and stone fetishism. It's a 50 mins documentary. Later we consider covering other topics such as the Manna that Yahweh gave to the Israelites during the Exodus, the Origins of Yahweh, the origins of hell, the purpose of prophets, the historical context of Jesus' period and much more. We've got many topics to cover. So don't forget about us! They are all very big like this one.

It's a really interesting history that made me wonder for months!!! It's worth going through it. Because, while there are so many Muslims, actually almost none of them know anything of that period, nor how that period later influenced their religion. It's a very hidden chapter of history, especially to them.

@@waseemaqrab8872 O really, I didn't know there was a difference I thought you could pray in any direction, especially in a secret place, seeing that God is everywhere
allah set a direction for Muslim to pray in unity, there is nothing idol about it, kaba is regarded as a holy place for Muslim since Abraham who built for worshiping allah@@geraldlatchman4583
@@geraldlatchman4583God Himself decided the only right and proper way of praying to Him.

Ive heard Jews chant al haddah before and Christians also. That gave me chills when you mentioned The Himyarite kingdom started persecuting Christians and I noticed we these religions whenever they become the majority or in charge of police everyone else suffers. So glad that Ethiopia helped out - probably where the Prester John myth came from
Wtf are you talking about. Jews believe the Old Testament Christians believe the old & new
Wait, I was not informed of this. In which case do they chant ''Al-Haddah''? Wew, so from Rammanu, Rimmon, Raman, Rahmanan, Harachaman, Ar-Rahman, we also have something from Baal Hadad, Haddam, Al-Haddah left in our languages to this day! How impressive?

Hopefully more Muslims see this video❤
there was one Pagan middle eastern religion that in fact survived into the 1960s in Iraq ,this was the Shamisyah religion who worshiped the sun or Shams . The last practitioners of this religion were in the 1960s converted by the Mir or Prince of the Yazidis ,with whom they shared many things .
really interesting video, i watched videos from esoterica on the origin of Yahweh, and it seems like most religious history is the evolution of gods and super natural beings to meet the requirements of the local people, until at some point certain promises, covenants, or contracts are created towards some political aim, which necessitate the formalisation of localised beliefs into frameworks of moral or ethical jurisprudence, basically religions.
there seems to be a common historical thread that runs through all the belief systems, punctuated by periods of intense formalisations, i.e. rabbinic era of judaism, the compilation and collation of the gospels, and finally the creation of the quran. perhaps it would be interesting to see whether there are some socio-demographic commonalities between conditions which preceded these eras.
I watch videos of Esoterica and Religion for Breakfast too. But, while very useful, especially Esoterica makes me sleep
Fun fact: Tylosians (Ancient Bahrainis) sacrificed to a Shark Deity before embarking on voyage. They also had their own Greek Olympics.
I just looked it up and got no relevant information. Where do I find more about these tylosians you speak of?
Can you further explain? I can't find details around what you describe
Excellent job. Now go detail one by one in a series by detail comparison of each point of Islamic fundament with pre Islamic beliefs and religions.
Islamic beliefs vs pre-Islamic beliefs…can you not see how those are two different things? Islam is in no way, shape, or form paganistic- it actually speaks against it! Christianity on the other hand, has retained some pagan practices following the conversion of the Roman Empire.
@@RNMom19 You didn't watch the video.
@RNMom19 Islamic is very much pagan. Almost all of its rituals are Bedouin Pagan in orogins. And Islam stole from Christianity and Judaism as well.
@@RNMom19It can speak against paganism all it wants. Doesn't mean it didn't originate from or get influenced by paganism.

This is my favourite words of Allah
O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ˹and if invited˺ for a meal, do not ˹come too early and˺ linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ˹on time˺. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ˹believers˺ ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah.
That's one of my all time favourites too :D
@@VladRacovitaEN You do know that this got "revealed" to Muhammed during his marriage to his adopted son's wife, right? Because the guests stayed for too long and he didn't want to wait to "consummate the marriage", and he didn't want to say that directly so he got a "revelation". You know that, right?
I misread your comment for a while. Yes I'm absolutely aware of that. I read the Quran and I'm familiar with these passages. This is one of the main critics against the Quran NOT being a revelation, for many
@@VladRacovitaEN Oh, alright man. I have to say I am extremely impressed by your knowledge and the video is very well done. Thanks for making a video such as this and interacting with the comments also. :)
I saw you wrote several comments. I'll be reading and answering them soon. Thank you very much for the compliment! The next is a documentaty is a 50 mins video titled: The Original Kaaba & The Other Kaabas: The Houses of Gods Made of Stones Above Wells.
Later I'm considering also documentary on the full summary on the Quran. Like trying to understand what Arabs needed or desired most based on the promises of Allah to the righteous. Like one of the most recurring promises is that he's rewarding the righteous with gardens under which rivers flow (water, milk, wine, honey).
Which says a lot about a people such as the Arabs in the desert
W vid, hope more people see it

What about making one about Hinduism which existed way before the 3 religions that were invented in the desertic lands west toIndia.
Might be an eyeopener
Hinduism is basically paganism. Just like many African religions
Hinduism originated in Europe: *Rig Veda 10.96.8* "At the swift draught, the Iron One with yellow beard and yellow hair"
*Rig Veda 1.100.18* “Indra attacked the Dasyus and the Śimyus; won the land, sunlight, and water with his white-complexioned friends”
*Rig Veda 1.103.3* “Armed with the thunderbolt, he has gone on destroying the cities of the Dasyus, and augment the strength and glory of the Ārya.”
*Rig Veda. 2.20.6* "Indra, the slayer of Vrittra, has scattered the Dasyu sprang from a b______ womb."
*Rig Veda 9.73.5* “They have roared in unison, burning up riteless men, Blowing away the b______ skin which Indra hates.”

Debat ayo.. Islam bukan agama yg dimulai dari nabi Muhammad. Karena Muhammad bukan nabi pertama dalam islam, tapi nabi terakhir.
Gw belum nonton ni video sampe selse. Tapi kalo video ini buat klaim banyak praktik islam mirip penyembah berhala sebelumnya, itu karena penyembah berhala itu yg memang ikuti cara nabi Ibrahim yang ditambahkan berhala. Muhammad hilangkan aspek berhala dan kembalikan praktiknya seperti cara ibrahim
Im also indonesian. I dont feel anyone push islam to anyone here.. What i feel is the people who hate islam is Becoming more vocal now, they bring the West islamophobe narative here. Those lies will never win
The more scientific we become, the more islam will make sense. Your imagination of a scientific Society won't be the way you hope.
No need to debate random users who simply came here for knowledge. Debate those who actually have expertise in the matter.
The idea that Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba, and that Islam has existed since the beginning of time, is purely an Islamic faith-based narrative, supported only by the Quran and Islamic literary sources on the basis of "They did it, let's not argue about it." There is zero historical evidence to support this claim.
Historically, pre-Islamic Arabia was predominantly polytheistic. The emergence of Islam is the result of Arabs striving to resist Jewish and Christian expansion in their region while preserving their own rituals, such as Hajj, Umrah, tawaf, and Ramadan. Islam represented an effort to unite Arabia under a new religious framework because the previous one of religious acceptance and polytheism was cracking and failing rapidly.
Abraham and Ishmael are most likely mythological characters. If you really believe that a 2000 B.C. figure, probably Akkadian or Sumerian in origin, left Ur after a debate with Nimrod, traveled to the Promised Land while listening to Yahweh and somehow became "Jewish," then supposedly ventured 1000 km into the Hijaz to build a rudimentary cube with his son on the orders of "Allah" (the same god who somehow changed his name), and now Abraham is Ibrahim and "Muslim," that’s beyond fiction.
Prove that Abraham existed. Prove that he’s not a mythological concept created to explain the rise of monotheism in the Middle East or as a symbolic ancestor like his name suggests, “father of nations,” from whom the Israelites and Arabs claim descent. Prove that Ishmael existed. Prove that the Kaaba was built by both. Prove it without the Quran. And convince non-Muslims, because if you convince Muslims alone, it means, that you're convining people who already were trained to have a bias towards stories like that.
Even if Abraham and Ishmael were real and not just a “sequel” of figures adapted by different peoples ''Jews'' and possibly Sumerians and Zoroastrians before them, that wouldn’t prove that Islam is true or that Allah exists. It would only prove that two humans built a cube in the middle of nowhere.
Sorry mate, science has almost already got rid of Christianity and Judaism. Islam is showing its cracks too and may not live another century. The more science spreads, the more people will ask questions, and your faith-based narratives, unsupported by any shred of evidence, will eventually fall apart.
How can you know the Pagans performed Hajj/tawaf, believed in shaytan/Jinns, ran from Safa to Marwa, fasted during Ramadan and so on and still think Islam is unique? Islam clearly took ideas from Judaism, Christianity and Arab Paganism. Hell even Allah is a pagan god that stems all the way to Cananite god El and Sumerian god Enlil and other gods that have "IL" or "EL" in their names. As a Muslim you would have to be blind not to see the paganism within Islam. But I mean so does Judaism and Christianity.
Islamic story about the Hajj and Abraham is purely made up.
@@AizenIsKubo those pagans in Arabs before islam, took Inspiration from what abraham practice..
Islam didn't start with muhammad, because muhammad is the last prophet. In quran, God give the name islam to his religion that start since Adam.
So Judaism and Christianity is a religion name made up by human. Judaism took the name from their ancestor. Christianity took the name of jesus. Never in their Books, God give the name of their religion.
Only in quran, god give a name to his religion, The religion that start from Adam. The name was given in one of the last verse revealed.

Walking in circles is the easiest way a community can worship together too, apart from walking, It unites the people without any training (let's say ritual dances). There's also the hypothesis, for this reason, that the tawaf in its earliest origins may have been a rain dance.

Very interesting and informative, but have you come across evidence for a place called Mecca in now Saudi Arabia before the 8th century not just what was in the Hadiths and the Sirah which were written much later?
Have you any evidence that hadith were written many years later
@@farooqkhamidogli4557According to 'the science of Hadith', sayings of Muhammad were transmitted orally, from generation to generation. The largest, and one of the earliest, collections of _ahadith_ were written down by Inb Ishaq about 100 years _after_ the death of Muhammad. A century later, Ibn Hisham took Ibn Ishaq's writings and comprehensively edited them (rejecting most). Also in the 9th Century, and later, other writers of Hadith literature (Bukhari, Islam, etc) continued to compile and record the sayings of Muhammad, Aisha and his Companions.
These _ahadith_ were supported by lists of Hadith transmitters or _Isnad_ .
Therefore, according to traditional Islamic sources, there is much evidence to support the claim that Hadith sayings were written long after the events they claim to describe.
But as a Muslim you should already know this.
I see where you are going with this, but you can apply the same argument to other cities as well. For example, before the Romans invaded Britain, the area that is now London existed. But it wasn't until the Romans' records called it Londonium that there was more solid evidence that it existed. The natives have always known it as the city of King Lud prior to the Roman invasion. Likewise, Mecca had existed for some time, but it was only until the arabs under islam became more diligent of record keeping that the name got cemented. Also worth mentioning Mecca had different names In the past, most notably Al Balad. This is the name that the Quran refers to it as.
@@adnaanu If I may say, your example of Lundinium isn't comparable to Mecca. As you write, London/Lundinium _was_ a known, named settlement before the Romans established a presence on the North bank of the River Thames.
Mecca, on the other hand, wasn't mentioned (other than Qur'an 48:24) until the 8th Century CE, and wasn't located on any map before 741 CE. Although the Byzantine Romans had mapped most of Arabia, including the city of Ta'if, the never mentioned Mecca.
By the way, Al Balad refers to the original settlement of Jeddah, not Mecca.
@gavinjames1145 you missed the point of my statement. Just because it wasn't mentioned until the Quran stated it doesn't mean it wasn't around before then. Also, London is a good example because the reason it was a known settlement was that the Romans recorded its existence. Prior to that, there was little in the way of written evidence. We do, however, know it existed before then because of archaeological evidence. Al Balad means "the town" and is also used to describe both Mecca and Jeddah. In fact, the existence of Jeddah can give evidence that Mecca was mentioned prior to the 8th century. Excavations in the old city have been interpreted as that Jeddah was founded as a fishing hamlet by the Yemeni Quda'a tribe (Arabic: بني قضاعة), who left central Yemen to settle in Makkah after the collapse of Marib Dam in Yemen in 115 BC.
Very interesting information of the Middle East and it people’s.
I wonder what my ancestors were doing in Ancient Greece at this time 🤔
Well. For the greater part of time (3000 BCE - 500 BCE) There were bedouins all around, with some quite big kingdoms being established in Yemen which could be on par with Greece for architecture and agricultural production. From 500 BCE - 500 AD many kingdoms are starting to arise even in modern day Saudi Arabia. In 500 AD, while Greece part of tìhe Eastern Roman Empire if I'm not wrong, Arabia was already established in kingdoms, but was suffering religiously and politically due to the very strong influence of Christianity and Judaism in the region, prompting the Arabs to choose a side to fight for, or do something that could save them as a people. The Arabs, under Muhammad, found a third way out of this, which is Islam!

Great video. There are also some influences from zoroasterian believes in islam, such as praying 5 times a day, the creation of the world, one kind and merciful Creator, the concept of heaven and hell and also some minor things.
Thank you very much Lilithus! I should have really mentioned that. But for some reason it didn't cross my mind. Thank you for adding your comment. Hopefully it will be seen by many people! ❤
@@VladRacovitaEN you are very welcome. I have read Avesta, the holy book of zarathustra, and I have seen so many similarities. And another one that comes to my mind is the bridge that after death, your spirit has to pass through. That is in Zarathustra teaching. If you’re a good person that bridge will widen for you. And you will have no problem passing. But if you are a bad person, it will become very, very narrow. There is the same bridge in Islam. Salman the Persian was one of Mohammad’s close friend. And could be a source of all this information. But also the Persian empire ( with Zartosht as their formal religion ) had quite an influence on the neighboring areas like Arabia.

Hey!! Re u Vlad who own Vlad Racovita ID channel? This channel have some same video like in Vlad Racovita ID but in English version.
Hai Slothy! Iya, ini aku, Vlad dari Vlad Racovita ID, atau sebelumnya Suara Eropa haha. Kalau mau balas komentar ini, balas dari notifikasi, jangan klik videonya, karena kalau dibuka, waktu tontonnya akan berkurang dan merusak statistik videonya.
Aku memutuskan untuk mendedikasikan waktuku sepenuhnya untuk membuat konten dalam bahasa Inggris dan Spanyol sebagai percobaan, dan ternyata kontenku, untuk saat ini, lebih cocok untuk penonton Barat daripada Indonesia. Karena itu, dengan uang yang akan kukumpulkan seiring berjalannya waktu, aku akan menggunakannya untuk kembali dengan format baru, dan nanti menerjemahkan semua video ke dalam bahasa Indonesia, mungkin dengan mencantumkan wajahku. Saat ini, aku belum punya cukup dana untuk mengurus saluran itu.
Kami memang sangat jarang membuat video, karena antara riset, penulisan, narasi, dan penyuntingan, itu butuh waktu yang lama, dan semua itu adalah langkah yang sangat mahal. Tapi, setidaknya dalam bahasa Inggris dan Spanyol, video-video ini menjadi terkenal dengan cukup cepat.
@@VladRacovitaEN Kebanyakan orang Indonesia hanya tertarik untuk mempelajari sejarah abad 20 keatas (terutama sejarah Indonesia dan perang dunia ke 2) dan sejarah dari kaum mereka sendiri (sejarah Indonesia dan kaum yang masih seagama dengan mereka, misalnya zaman keemasan Islam dan sejarah agama mereka sendiri berdasarkan cerita di kitab mereka masing masing), aku juga pas awal nemu channel kamu pun agak bingung kenapa kamu lebih memilih membuat video berbahasa Indonesia daripada bahasa Inggris padahal kamu bukan orang Indonesia (apalagi kontenmu tentang sejarah dan negara, kebanyakan konten yang dibuat oleh bule yang terkenal adalah vlog, kuliner, komedi, kesehatan, dan kebersihan)? Padahal orang yang bisa bahasa Inggris didunia ini lebih banyak daripada orang yang bisa bahasa Indonesia. Sama sekali tidak bermaksud menyalahkan ataupun mengatur kontenmu tapi memang kenyataannya video berbahasa Indonesia biasanya cuma bisa mencakup penonton dari Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, dan Melayu yang tinggal di Singapore sedangkan video dengan bahasa Inggris dan Spanyol bisa mencakup lebih banyak negara.
Tapi ya itu kembali pada dirimu sendiri maunya buat video apa dan pakai bahasa apa (ikuti apa kata hatimu saja). Tak ada yang salah dengan membuat video berbahasa Inggris, Indonesia, Spanyol, Jerman, Prancis, Portugis, dll.
@@slothybaka2259 Aku tidak setuju kalau orang Indonesia lebih tertarik pada sejarah abad ke-20 dan ke-21. Menurutku, itu karena mereka sudah diajari dari kecil untuk fokus pada bagian sejarah itu, jadi mereka otomatis lebih memperhatikan bagian itu daripada yang terjadi sebelumnya.
Namun, kita bisa mengubah itu. Dengan memberikan materi tentang apa yang terjadi sebelumnya, orang-orang pasti akan lebih penasaran dengan hal-hal yang belum pernah mereka dengar, seperti video ini. Berapa banyak orang Indonesia yang kamu kenal yang tahu tentang Arab pra-Islam? Padahal, itu sangat penting karena mempengaruhi kehidupan sehari-hari mereka, jadi mereka pasti akan datang dan mencari konten yang serupa.
Ini soal konten apa yang tersedia.
Alasan aku mulai di Indonesia sebenarnya karena kekurangan yang kamu sebutkan tadi. Ketika aku pindah ke sini, aku merasa ada kekurangan informasi yang sangat besar, dan kadang bahkan informasi dari saluran atau media Indonesia yang punya reputasi baik itu setengah benar dan setengahnya lagi salah besar.
Baru-baru ini, aku mendengar seorang RUclipsr Indonesia yang sangat terkenal menjelaskan asal-usul orang Ibrani dan kemudian berbicara tentang Goliath (kamu tahu kan cerita Daud lawan Goliath?), dia menyebut Goliath itu "Orang Palestina Kuno". Ketika mendengar itu, aku langsung merasa tidak enak. Orang Palestina kuno mana yang dia maksud? (jelas maksudnya orang Arab), apakah yang dia maksud itu "orang Filistin kuno"? Orang Filistin itu orang Yunani!!!
Kebanyakan orang Indonesia hanya berbicara bahasa Indonesia, dan sedikit yang bisa bahasa Inggris, jadi negara ini agak terisolasi dari interaksi dengan dunia luar. Kalau ada orang Indonesia berbicara omong kosong kepada orang Indonesia lainnya, tidak ada yang bisa memeriksa fakta untuk mengatakan bahwa dia salah. Indonesia seperti gelembung tertutup orang-orang yang berbicara kepada diri mereka sendiri, dan beberapa dari mereka yang ingin mencari konten pendidikan (yang jumlahnya terus bertambah) harus bisa bahasa Inggris dan menonton konten bahasa Inggris karena meskipun ada konten pendidikan dalam bahasa Indonesia, jumlahnya sangat sedikit dan tidak terlalu mendidik.
Lalu, keterkejutan aku melihat orang-orang yang percaya pada segala macam hantu, ilmu sihir, ilmu hitam, agama, dll., membuat aku semakin bertekad untuk membantu beberapa orang Indonesia yang ingin menemukan pendekatan yang lebih ilmiah terhadap kehidupan, untuk mengetahui bahwa mereka tidak "bodoh" karena berbeda dari kebanyakan orang, dan dengan begitu, mengembangkan pengetahuan ilmiah di Indonesia untuk merangsang rasa ingin tahu dan pertumbuhan. Aku cinta Indonesia. Indonesia sebenarnya alasan utama aku membuat video seperti ini :).
Oh, soal orang asing lainnya dan saluran RUclips mereka di Indonesia... yah, aku tahu. Kalau mereka tidur di malam hari sambil berpikir mereka telah melakukan sesuatu yang baik untuk dunia, baguslah buat mereka. Aku tidak bisa menjadi salah satu dari mereka.
@@VladRacovitaEN Masuk akal, mungkin karena hampir semua sejarah yang ada di sekolah adalah sejarah Indonesia bukan sejarah seperti yang ada di videomu.
Ya aku pikir Indonesia juga memiliki banyak propaganda misalnya katanya candi Borobudur masuk ke 7 keajaiban dunia, sekolah yang terlalu menekankan murid-muridnya untuk mengikuti pandangan politik / kaum tertentu, dan menjelekkan budaya dan bangsa lain terutama barat.
@@VladRacovitaEN Soal sejarah pra Islam biasanya orang Islam cuma tau sejarah Islam berdasarkan dari agama aja yang sering diceritakan oleh para pemuka agama dan buku cerita para nabi, sayangnya jika mereka menonton video ini mereka kemungkinan besar tak akan mempercayaimu karena mereka sudah terlalu mempercayai sejarah yang berasal dari para pemuka agama dan buku cerita para nabi.
Doesn’t Judaism also have polytheistic origins? That YHWH was just the chosen God of the first Israelites used from the ancient Canaanite pantheon
Yes. As of now, we're expecting to work on a documentary about this exactly, and to publish it the next year though.
This is mentioned in the video
All religions transition from animism to polytheism to monotheism while evolving their Rites.
The three Arabian Goddesses resemple the main three godesses of Hindus, namely Saaraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati.

Well the Arabs called themselves ignorant before Islam because they used to worship idols.
Hey Vasukinagabhushan! Thank you very much for the input! Unfortuantely I had zero preparation on Hinduism while writing the documentary, which is a big downside to it. Thank you for mentioning it! Several other people mentioned the trio too. Hopefully your comments gets read by many people!

Thank you for your comment and for liking this video! I wish I could, unfortunately I'm not informed about Hinduism to make a video about it. The topic is very large and I'm not familiar with the religion per se. I was recently informed that the trio of the sisters Allat, Al-Uzza and Manat representing creation, sustenance and destruction is also present in Hinduism! If I only knew about that, my video would have been way better! Surely pre-Islamic Arabia was deeply influenced by Zoroastrianism, which too, was hugely influenced by the Indian culture of the nearby kingdoms.
Hi Vlad, some people are convinced that Muhammad never existed. What are your thoughts on the subject of Muhammad's existence? Thank you.
Well...
He participated in the Battle of Badr, in the Battle of Uhud and in the Battle of the Trench, which are historical;
His enemies wrote about him, the Jews disliked him;
The Hadith collect all the stories surrounding him, and wewww if they present him in such a honest way, even to the point that he's being reported/written while he pees, while he makes mistakes, while he gets angry, while he gets mocked or attacked by other people.
There is his tomb (which I guess we cannot explore due to religious restrictions.)
So, my very sincere opinion, that's a 99.9%, while I have more doubts for Jesus (around 90%). But prophets like Abraham (etimologically ''Father of Nations'', who you can find in this video too), only like 10%. Most likely they represent an idea, or a trend of thoughts. Ishmael , for example, is most likely a set of tribes coming from the borders of Babylonia, called Shumu'Ilu, as reported in the Annals of Senacherib.

It wouldn’t make any sense, then how Islam came to be so dominant in that area. It’s like saying Julius Cesar didn’t exist. The proof is in the worlds and countries that exist today.
@@kulashkng7059 Mythical figures have had a profound influence on human civilizations. Julius Caesar's existence is supported by diverse sources whilst Muhammad's existence is not directly documented. First written account of Muhammad is about 125 years after his death. First coin depicting him is 60 years after his death.
M did not exist. The title was not a name and was in use in jewish sects and also used for the messiah. Any early Arab leader could have been claiming his title and power to be the "M". "M" was based on the early Arab leaders who started calling themself after what originally they called any potential jewish rabbi/king/leader. Abbasids invented M prophet and created the back story to match their linage. All empires that rise in that era/part of world needed a divine right to rule also. Cements their control. Odon Lafontaine new book The Great Secret Of Islam is great professional academic work.

38:11- the three sisters concept, with each representing creation, preservation and destruction (past, present and future) reminds me of the Hindu Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva respectively.
1:07:30 whilst i agree with the fundamental point, i think there needs to be some mention that the nature of the god of the israelites changed over time, yahweh's characteristics from a localised god of the israelies, to an omniscient, omnipotent god who has more in common with a supreme diety like allah. whilst there may be some semantic differences, i believe in their most evolved iterations the god of the israelites and allah are essentially the same.
I wish those old gods are build again
They may never be built again, but hopefully, through time the original history of Arabia may be brought up again and make at least these gods to be remembered as they deserve! There are some movements in Saudi Arabia, by the way, that want to bring the history of Wathanism (imagery/polytheistic past) back into Museums and schools, so there is hope ahead!
Allat could be both, wife and daughter of a high deity
I dont think Muslims are known for holding up history to scientific scrutiny or respecting others beliefs - Christians are historically famous for doing anything possible to lead ppl to the one true God - thats very apparent in the Qran - as for the Jews, well if we went by what the bible itself says no wonder ppl were kind of terrified to have Jews in the majority - they brag about killing every man woman and child even the goats so they could move on in - that doesnt have anything to do with the vampires from Eastern Europe who came marching back after converting and picking up an ancient dead language, the supremist ideology mixed with the European scientific revolutions attitudes that had a pretty high idea of themselves - funny how much these monotheistic nightmares have in common - theyre so nice when they are in the minority or there are laws that protect others rights to worship as they please. Muslims are just fine debating someone elses religion but somehow cant see for themselves when the actual proof is shown that no, muslims dont know everything and like the rest of us have a lot to learn. Ppl are good despite their religions not bc of it - it is orobably a lot easier for most ppl to hear please be modest than hey you put your headwrap on now! Thats the most innocuous example I could think of - heres an expert who has read more Qran and Bible than most ppl and have some zort of knowledge that most Christians and Muslims do not have - I wish I had a nickel for every Muslim or Christian who doesnt know either book besides a few popular phrases - the other extreme is the holy roller blockhead whose entire education was from a book written 1500 years ago - if it were up to these super orthodox pinwheel yarmulke brigade slavery would be reinstated along with a lot of ill stuff - to be a servant of God you make the decision to help those more unfortunate - disabled, old, sick, poor - they do that and its great but then ppl get in on the action and start trying to create empires and control others - taxing someones beliefs lol thats not freedom of the soul at all - pigs never made good pastoral animals especially in a desert so it makes sense that a statute would be decreed to outlaw a wasteful tradition and it would become part of the culture - but once you go down this road with arbitrary things that get banned it always comes to past that eventually knowledge itself gets banned - there may have been poets and schools but what did they teach and was it common, was it an open ended research school to examine the way the world works or was it a set of expectations which kept society in line so that these new rulers could establish an easier to control population - when the trade they controlled became too full of stuffy bloated sultans full of religion which treated traders with contempt as they did to anyone who wasnt the same as them - I know Islam is supposed to be tolerant but maybe tribalism was harder to kill than even Mohamet thought itd be - that supremist and tribal stuff is the main reasons why a lot of ppl cant stand Jews - they may be pious, wash their butts good and pure and even rich but it is done with a nasty attitude towards others - between scientific racism and the religion how can you make a worse racist who also thinks everyone else is dogmeat? Im throwing that in there because Judaism is considered Islams spiritual ancestor - I used to think the same way being a Christian until I learned history and realized that Christianity has its own beauty and has more in common with Greek and Persian philosophy than with anyhing Jewish even though a lot of the players were Judaites - theres so much history that has been wiped not because its wrong but bc it looks at things we love in an unfavorable light - like how ppl say they dont recommend meeting your heroes bc youll be disappointed - it seems the same is true for institutions like our religions - we find out they were written by men in order to control other men - this is why it is a slippery momma to begin ornamenting the rulers with a religious cult of personality bc it will not stop until they have everything - and that is what monotheistic traditions are - a way to condense power into fewer individuals so that theres less confusion who is in charge - Christianity started off golden when it had the patronage of caesars who kept up a tradition of pope but it didnt really grow theologically until ppl were allowed to have different views without being cut in two with swords or burned at the stake. Its crazy but some ppl actually believe that men couldnt control their passions without some made up story about having to obey some arbitrary invisible thing with a bunch of strings attached - you dont need religion to be nonmurderous, to tell the truth, to be faithful to your wife, to make an oath and keep it etc etc etc I used to laugh at different religions and pick out one for being funnier than another as if what Mormons believed was any goofier than another cult was doing since they were all holding back mankind from being honest and going farther and further - like what Katt Williams pointed out about the learned being like a powerful locomotive engine and the superstitious masses being a unlimited beavy cabooses which keep the train from leaving - one day that engine will go and leave all the superstitious bebind to beat each other over the head for imaginary stuff some person made up in order to control their family, their tribe, their city state, their nation etc - there is peace, contentment, faith and piece of mind for the adherents to religion and sometimes the best ppl will be he faithful - but theres a good reason it is kept free of government - the same reason why the United States is somewhat of a Jewish puppet state shedding blood to keep elites in power - going to wars in place of Jews defending themselves. At the close of the American civil war negroes were given their freedom, males were given the vote long before even white women were - the govt gave each man land according to their needs - up to 40 acres and the tools to farm with seed etc - standing at the ready with cash were jewish agents who offered far below market value for severely cash poor ex slaves - it worked and many, many were robbed of their birthright - along w usury the system is evil and the same attitude that allowed those ppl to rip off others is the same spirit which infects many religious today - l know what Abe, Moses,Jesus or Mo would do back then but not today - we must forge a path based on a much larger world 1L Proper Education Always Corrects Errors
Yes, as covered in the video, she was most likely both.
Allat (the Goddess) was probably the wife of Allah (the God), from whom all the pre-Islamic deities were born.
While Allat is almost always referred to as "Allat," Allah may have been considered the main god for each tribe. For example, the Allah of the Quraysh might have been Hubal, while for the Himyarites, it was Almaqah, and other tribes considered different gods as their Allah.
In the earliest form, she was most likely his wife, but as Islam spread, this idea was seen as the utmost form of shirk (associating partners with Allah), so it was immediately dropped.
A similar thing happened with Yahweh. Initially, as Yahweh was separating from the High God and father El Elyon, he inherited his wife Asherah. I once read an article that mentioned there were statues of Yahweh and his wife Asherah in the Ark of the Covenant (in the early origins).
Eventually, she was also removed because a monotheistic god, needing to be omnipotent, does not need a wife.

There’s been great building works around Makka, there’s not much archeological evidence to suggest that it was a central point of any trade routes, as it was too far out of the way.
Hey Lokn! Ancient Makkah was likely a very small stop along the incense trade route where merchants would stop to refill their water and supply tanks. Unfortunately, no archeological evidence of the period has been discovered, mainly because the kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not want to do any diggings to discover it's past, finding the past ''shameful'' to the current Islamic way of seeing the world.
Based on the literary evidence we have, Makkah was most likely a small village because the Romans and surrouding powers never cared of going too far down from Petra to conquer it not put it in any maps.

Sorry Brahman has no connection with Rahman, the root words of both words are different the meanings are also different.
The Satanic Verses (Gharaniq incident) was an incident where Prophet Muhammad acknowledged Allat, Manat, and al-Uzza, the goddesses of the Pagan Meccans in a Qur'anic revelation, only to later recant and claim they were the words of the Devil.
The Satanic Verses incident is reported in the tafsir and the sira-maghazi literature dating from the first two centuries of Islam, and is reported in the respective tafsīr corpuses transmitted from almost every Qur'anic commentator of note in the first two centuries of the hijra.
It seems to have constituted a standard element in the memory of the early Muslim community about the life of Muhammad.[1]
"Al-Lat was also called as a daughter of Allah along with the other two chief goddesses al-'Uzza and Manat. According to the 'BOOK OF IDOLS,' the Quraysh were to chant the following verses as they circumambulated the Kaaba: By al-Lat and al-'Uzza, And Manat, the third idol besides"
Shahab Ahmed is the main Islamic scholar in this area. He summarizes his research as follows:
The Satanic verses incident constituted a standard element in the historical memory of the Muslim community in the first 150 years of Islam, and was recorded by almost all prominent scholars working in the fields of tafsir and sirah-Maghazi. (Shahab Ahmed, The Satanic Verses Incident in the Memory of the Early Muslim Community - An Analysis of the Early Riwayahs and their Isnads, A dissertation presented at Princeton University, 1999, p. i)
[We have] repeatedly dated the reports of the Satanic Verses incident to the late 1st and early 2nd centuries; in other words, to what seems to have been the earliest period of systematic collection and organization of historical memory materials in the Muslim community. As regards the discourses of which these reports formed a part, we have found that all the reports were transmitted by late 1st/early 2nd century sirah-maghazi and tafsir scholars (Shahab Ahmed, 1999, p. 258)
The Satanic verses were being transmitted in almost every important intellectual centre in the Dar al-Islam: Madinah, Mecca, Basrah, Kufah, Baghdad, Missisah, Rayy, Balkh, Samarqand, San'a', Fustat and Qayrawan. (Shahab Ahmed, 1999, p. 260)
Observations:
When Islam starts to write its history, the Satanic Verses are universally part of that history. It is not a later development, but in the earliest Islamic sources.
The event is recorded in multiple independent sources. This is what historians call multiple attestation. Multiple attestation makes a report more reliable.
All the major Islamic centres transmitted the story. It had wide acceptance and was not a story that developed in one location.
It was a standard part of how the early Muslims told the life of Muhammad in the first two centuries of Islam. That is, it had the consensus of the early Muslim community.
In Islamic theology, false Angel Jibril, creates Islam in a cave and tries to steal the identity of The Holy Spirit and his action (see Luke 1 v 35), to create Islamic 'Isa', see Surah 66 ayat 12 (Qurandotcom and Sahih International).
However, In the Bible Angels are not allowed to create or impregnate humans, only God can create, this is plagiarism and shirk...see Genesis 6:1-5, Jude 1 v 6, 2 Peter 2 v 4, Matthew 22 v 30.
The Quran gets the Trinity wrong, mentioning Jesus and Mary and not mentioning the Holy Spirit, because the false Angel Jibril was trying to steal the identity and action of the Holy Spirit and create Islamic Jesus (Isa). Three Quranic verses may directly refer to this doctrine.4:171, 5:73, and 5:116-118.
So... Allah got it wrong because false Angel Jibril is allowed to masquerade as the Holy Spirit for Islamic theology, that is why Jibril then created a false Jesus that was not divine or crucified in the Quran.
Galatians 1:8 KJV
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
John 4 v 22, additionally says salvation is of the Jews, NOT the Ishmaelites!
One thing, which now I can't search that because I'm on the phone and short of time, is that while referring to Allat, Al'Uzzah and Manat, in their chant Arabs use to call them ''exhalted'', which is a common form that existed also later in Islam, among the other things that evolved from polytheism into modern Islam

First recorded by Jacob of Suarag in the 5th century in Syriac, then into Latin in the 6th c/y by Gregory of Tours in his work “The Glory of the Martyrs”. The story was slightly altered by the authors of the Koran from Christians being persecuted by Romans for not following their Gods, to Muslims being persecuted for not following Pagan gods.
b) The New Testament Apocrypha is a collection of “extra canonical Christian writings.” The Koran plagiarizes many tales of Jesus (like making a clay bird come alive and speaking as a new born) and Mary straight from these. I.e. Surah Al Maeda 5:110 and Surah Al E Imran 3:49.
In roughly June 2021, on his show let the Quran Speak, entitled Did The Quran copy from the Infancy Gospels, says 'Historians in looking at pre historic accounts for The Quran for infancy stories of Jesus see there must have been elements and traces and stories from which the Quran developed from,' sadly he said "Muslims celebrate these stories" and shamedly Muslims 'boast of these as a source of pride'.
Even worse though is that Shabir Ally then goes onto say, 'is that even if you say from a historical perspective there is a connection between this and that Allah only guided Muhammad (in plagirizing from these non canonical absurd sources) to retain only that for The Quran which is compatible for Islamic theology, so stealing from the core but adapting the rest.
c) The Korans “heaven” is plagiarised from a cycle of Christian Hymns called “Hymns of Paradise” written in the 4th c/y by St. Ephrem of Syria, 300 years before the time of Mohamed.i.e Q76 (Al Insaan) , Q77 (Al Mursalaat) , Q 78 ( Al Naba) , Q 83 ( Al Tatfeef)
d) The Story of Solomon and Bathsheba: Q 27: 17-44.
This exact tale comes from an earlier Jewish story from the “Second Targum of Esther” , “Targum Sheni”
e) Abraham Being delivered from the Fire: Q 2:260 is the same as “Midrash Genesis Rabba” from the 5th c/y. Genesis 15:7, but with an interesting twist. When originally translating this story from Hebrew to Aramaic, which says Abraham was brought from” Ur of the Chaldeans”, Jonathan Ben Uzziel in his Targum wrongly rendered the Babylonian word “Ur” , which means “City” into the Aramaic word “fire”. , confusing it with the Hebrew word “Or” meaning light or fire. The original story still found its way into the Koran without Allah spotting this error.
Note: Nimrod did not live at same time as Abraham. (5000-4500) BC Q21:50/70+ Q37:95
f) The Quran maintains that Jesus was not actually crucified and did not die on the cross. Despite these views and no eyewitness accounts, most modern scholars have maintained that the Crucifixion of Jesus is indisputable.
The view that Jesus only appeared to be crucified and did not actually die predates Islam, and is found in several apocryphal/gnostic gospels such as The Second Treatise of The Great Seth, the teachings of Basilides, The Gospel of Matthias and The Coptic Apocalypse of Peter.
Ibn ‘Abbas (d.68/687) a paternal cousin of Muhammad and esteemed by many Muslims as the “father of Quran commentary” and “the Ocean [of knowledge]” commented on Quran 4:157-158, that they slew Tatianos, a Roman soldier instead of Jesus.
Ibn Kathir, follows traditions which suggest that a crucifixion did occur, but not with Jesus. After the event, Ibn Kathir reports the people were divided into three groups following three different narratives; The Jacobites believing 'God remained with us as long as He willed and then He ascended to Heaven;' The Nestorians believing 'The son of God was with us as long as he willed until God raised him to heaven;' and the third group of Christians who believing; 'The servant and messenger of God, Jesus, remained with us as long as God willed until God raised him to himself.
Ibn Ishaq stated: 'that Jesus was replaced by someone named Sergius, while secondly reporting an account of Jesus' tomb being located at Medina.'
Al-Masudi, reported the death of Christ under Tiberius.
Tabari, divided the early reports regarding Jesus crucifixion into two groups. According to the first, one of Jesus disciples volunteers to take the form of his master and is crucified. According to the other, the Jew mistakenly carried only an empty resemblance to the cross.
Al-Tabari also records an interpretation transmitted from Ibn Ishaq Bishr: "God caused Jesus to die for seven hours".
Ibn al-Athir forwarded the report that it was Judas, the betrayer, while also mentioning the possibility it was a man named Natlianus.
10th and 11th-century Ismaili Shia scholars Ja'far ibn Mansur al-Yaman, Abu Hatim Ahmad ibn Hamdan al-Razi, Abu Yaqub al-Sijistani, Mu'ayyad fi'l-Din al-Shirazi and the group Ikhwan al-Safa affirm the historicity of the crucifixion, reporting Jesus was crucified and not substituted by another man as maintained by many other popular Qur'anic commentators and Tafsir.
Shabir Ally, Muslim Apologist states:
‘I have followed the thinking of many who feel that it is not necessary to have the belief that someone else was substituted for Jesus. I distinguish between two meanings of crucifixion. One means simply “to hang on a cross”, but I believe the word crucifixion as used in the crucifixion as used in the Koran means to “kill a person by that means”.
Shabir Ally in effect, admits that Jesus was put on the cross, but that he did not die on the cross, and therefore the koranic and biblical accounts are, to some degree, in harmony. He goes on to support his contention, saying: ‘There is a subtext, which points to the fact that Jesus could not be verified to have died on the cross. He may very well have been taken down while still alive.’
Shabir Ally points out that Jesus wasn’t on the cross for very long, whereas crucifixion normally took days to kill a man, noting Pilate’s astonishment that Jesus was apparently dead before nightfall. In this respect, Ally subscribes to the ‘swoon’ theory of the crucifixion: that Jesus passed out on the cross, but later revived.
So, after years of denying plagiarism by the Koran, Dr Shabir Ally , one of Islam’s foremost debaters now admits to plagiarism giving the laughable explanation that “Allah wanted to convey his final message by using stories already familiar to us,” mistakes and all.

Truly fascinating
Thank you very much Justin!
Where is falak mentioned in the quran, I've never heard of this?
Hey Hasan!
Thank you for writing.
You most likely watched the part about how Allah created the world according to the early islamic scholars, right?
The first part is a representation of the world with parts mostly taken from the Quran and some bits from Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Here there is no mention of Bahamut, Kuyata and Falak.
The second part of the presentation, is actually trying to match such points with the Islamic cosmography from Early Islam to Medieval Islamic cosmography. Zakariyya' al-Qazwini, is a bit far in time, but presents the three mythological animals in great detail in ''Aja'ib al-Makhluqat''. Other geographers and cosmographers of different time periods such Al-Damiri, Al-Kisāʾī, al-Tha'labi, Ibn al-Wardi, Yaqut, all agree through time that the world is sustained on a giant fish (Bahamut), on top of which there is a bull (Kuyuta), on top of which there is a ruby and on top of which is an angel above that holds the earths and the heavens.
What they don't agree on, is the names of the creatures, some call them Bahamut, some Bahmut, some Balhut; the Bull is often called Kuyuta or Luyatan, but Al-Damri from Egypt for example calls it Rakabouna.
All these authors also disagree heavily mostly on the details, like some say he has 40 horns, others say he has 40000 horns and 40000 legs, while others say he has 70000 horns and 40000 ''limbs''.
Regardless, Falak is mentioned in their works of authorship and can also be found in the ''One and One Thousand Nights'', where it keeps its mythological main component as the giant serpent similar to the Leviathan and other giant sea serpents of the same time period.
The compilation of "One Thousand and One Nights" spans from the stories of the early Islamic age (around the 8th century) to the medieval period (around the 14th century), making it approximately 700 years of cultural and literary development. We can say it's a corpus of centuries of history and oral tradition put together. The incorporation of Falak like that of other creatures, illustrates the continuity and evolution of mythological beliefs within the cultural and religious contexts of the Islamic world which was still holding on many of the core beliefs of early Islamic mythology.

Some of the best Yahweh idols were found in Arabia.
Correct. And for very good reason. One of the origins of Yahweh, apart from the Mount of Sinai and Mount Seir has been proposed to be in the inlands of Jordan or Northern Arabia. During the period of idolatry in Arabia, which is called ''Wathanism'', you'll hear many scholars saying that Yahweh was part of the pantheon, and his name was Yahwah. I avoided to mention this in the documentary because it would make things unnecessarily complex and longer, as we're planning to make a documentary about the origins of Yahweh in the future.

Why don't you talk about Yahweh who was a Pagan God??? Or for the Jews before the arrival of Mohammed s.w.s they were Pagan, they believed and prayed in the Temple of Aschera = Goddess of the Sea, otherwise she were also the darling /Wife of Yahweh? How Yahwe was a friend of God Baal=Cannanit??????
Are you talking with me? Yes, we're going to make a video about the pagan origins of Yahweh and Judaism too making a video similar to these. All religions have pagan origins. There is a clear evolution from animism to polytheism to monotheism. So... Yes, we will, it's already a planned video
Significant biblical records also describe how Asherah was worshiped in the Temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem. It is also described there that a statue of this goddess was found in the same temple, which was only guarded by women. The mention of a “Queen of Heaven” in the Book of Jeremiah most likely also refers to this goddess.
Aschera was wife of Yahwe ,
These are intended to testify that Asherah was worshiped together with Yahweh (or Jehovah).
@@VladRacovitaEN
Allah has no Wife, Darling,, Children: Son or Daufhter l, No Mother or Father ! Allah is ONE , Minotheist's religion is Islam, other Religions, Gods have MOTHERS,FATHER, WIFE other Gods Friends !!!!!!
In many situations, monotheism, offered by figures like Muhammad appeared to be better alternatives to more intricate & multilayered structures of class stratification & domination.
Having different deities allowed for the formalization of hierarchies among clans, &or an anarchic ecology of all these different deities with strange & upsetting demands.
The 'prophets' proposed that u don't gotta worry about the anarchy of deities & that no man has authority over except for the so called 'One True God' aka 'the Only God' aka Allah aka Yaweh etc etc.
It was quite rational for the time. But I'm not sure which way I'd go if I was a citizen of a period such as that. Would I be one if those who converts to Islam to escape my whacko polytheistic cult? Or would i be one of those who was threatened to convert & had to forsake all those deities I held dear.
From what I noticed, like in the story of Abraham, whenever a civilization would conquer another one, the defeated civilization would feel like their gods were fake, because if they were true, they would have survived, or even triumphed over the invaders, which prompted them to find new gods, or with Abraham, only one god which is all-powerful, which is like the frontier of all final bosses lol.
In fact, one of the most recurring things a civilization would to when defeating another one, is either to destroy their temples to prove that their gods are superior to the defender's or to clean them from the statues of their gods, then replace it with their own to show who's gods were really the true ones. So ''true gods'' survived with victories, while ''fake gods'' vanished alogn the defeats.
Same happened with pre-islamic Arabs. Christianity and Judaism were converting massively the Arabian peninsula, as such, the Arabian identity was being threatened to disappear and Arabs were increasignly skeptic about their gods being true. As such, they opted for Muhammad's version of monotheism, an evolution of the arab pagan faith, to maintain the tradition, and not go for foreign faiths, christianity and judaism.
@@VladRacovitaEN Feeling ashamed by Jews and Christians (and wanting to impress all the girls), Allah's Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) copied and stole from Jewish and Christianity theology - monotheism, Abraham, Jesus - and perverted them, in a botched attempt to legitimize his Quraysh Moon God, one of 360 idols in the BIG, Black idol in Mecca, which itself came from the Canaanite god, Ba’al.

@farook and the ancient peoples that your pedo grapist prophet destroyed were also content with their religion. Islam brought destruction and hatred to everyone.
The more I learn about Islam, Mohammed and pre-Islamic Arabia, the more I conclude that Mohammed was a prominent figure in the Quarish tribe and that he fulfilled the need to unify the diverse society of mono- and polytheistic peoples. He tried to religiously unify these beliefs, combined with forced conquest, which made the victims of the subjugation more easily accepting of their subjugation because they could all see some theological similarities in the religion that was imposed on them compared to the past religion.
That's the most possible outlook on the period, historically speaking. Very nice comment!
Just because a cucumber and a banana might have the same shape doesn't mean they taste the same.
Examine the revelation of the Qur'an chronologically. Since the second surah, when Islam consisted of only a few people, the Qur'an made a prophecy that no one took seriously, which was fulfilled during the lifetime of the Prophet SAWS, along with many other prophecies. After he (SAWS) died, his prophecies have continued to come true to this day. Those who know have no doubt that the revelations are the words of God. You just don't have the heart to admit it because you love sin so much; you don't want to accept the truth and instead invent lies for yourself and others. This is similar to the charlatan "historian" who made a clip pulling "facts" half from taken-out-of-context hadiths and half from his imagination.
This clip is no better than the book by David Icke claiming a reptilian race from ancient Babylon.
By the way, the Qur'an also explains what this "race" of "successful reptilians" is. They are not reptiles, but people who learned occult knowledge and magic from the angels Harut and Marut, who taught it as a test from Allah SWT. These people who used this forbidden knowledge are what David Icke refers to as "reptilians."

Excellent work. Well whether Muhammad existed or not (although I believe he did exist), Islam took advantage of both political and religious divisions especially among Christians. Islam arouse at the weakest time when the Roman Empire was almost fallen and the Christians were fighting each othèr (not with swords) doctrinally. Muhammad was a war lord who understood if he can unite the warring Arabs in a single religion, he can topple the great powers. That was what happened but since he was no prophet, by any measures, his later followers had to paint him with the Character of Jesus Christ. It took almost 200 years before Islàmic System fully developed based on supposedly "chain narration."
Thanms to internet now islam has no place to hid its man-made origins.

@@araizkhan221then why are almost all terorists came from your riligion?
Vlad - definitely investigate the Kaaba deeper, you’ll realize it was in fact in Petra and the original direction of prayer was actually Petra (Stone) 🤷
Hey, I do not really understand what you mean by the Kaaba being in the Northern Part of Arabia, in this case, Petra, Jordan.
Because:
1) Hisham Ibn Al-Kalbi in his book already speaks of other Kaabas, such as the Kaaba of Najran, the Kaaba of Sindad, Ghaiman and Dhu-l Khalasa that could be found in Arabia, apart from the Kaaba in Mecca.
2) In the Biography of Prophet Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq, es edited by Ibn Kathir and Ibn Hisham, they both say that in the period of Muhammad people used to call the Kaaba of Dhu-l Khalasa as (Southern or Yemeni Kaaba), while the Kaaba in Mecca was also called (Northern/Syrian/Shami Kaaba). Which means that at least for Meccan Arabs, outside of Mecca, Dhu-l Khalasa was the second most important Kaaba to them. In the whole two books you do not find mentions of Petra.
Moreover, the migrants and traders would mostly come from the South, Yemen, to the North to the Levant and Egypt. Therefore, while Petra undoubtely was a trading point between Syria, Levant and Egypt, it was not famous to the Arabs so down into the Hejaz near to Mecca to mention any Kaabas there. In fact, it's name to the Nabateans was Raqmu. Petra is how the Greeks called the Area, and then how the Romans called it when they conquered it into "Arabia Petrea". Only later the Arabs renamed the city once they got indeoendet from Roman rule into Al-Batra to sound like the Roman version of its provincial name

No Muslim scholar of law would be surprised by the fact that Arab customs and Jewish practices became Shariah as unless the Prophet condemned a thing explicitly it was taken to be so that he permitted it. Early on it was very clear that Muslims prayed towards Jerusalem as well and not the Kaaba. Pre-Islamic Arabia was pagan and this is widely known, and the Islamic seerah literature and even the Quran clearly states this as the text is responding to and talking to these persons often. There were Jews and Christians in Arabia as well.
In fact, Quranic verses were traditionally speaking, revealed in response to questions asked by Jews (the ayah on Jews and Ezra for example was traditionally seen as a response to a Jew who said this).
Thats not what the video is about. The video compares Islamic and Pagan rituals. Which are verbatim the same. Islam simply co-opted pagan rituals.
@@AizenIsKubo this is said by the Islamic tradition’s texts itself so it’s not like it’s anything that Muslims didn’t already know.

@@SilentTears-xn4mgyes. But the fact is. As long as you can't prove that Abraham and Ishamel Built the Kaaba and hence that monotheism existed somehow before, polytheism is the only logical possibility. Islam Evolved from polytheisyic roots

A little correction, Allah doesn't just use the plural pronoun.
In Passages where the text emphasises the Oneness of God, Allah refers to himself with the singular pronoun, while in passages that emphasise the Power of God, Allah refers to himself with Plural pronouns.
Thus, it is an accepted theory that the use of plural pronouns is a Royal usage.
Hey, nice add. But doesn't this actually is like a theological "post" interpretation that could try to justify these transitions from polytheism to monotheism?
It doesn't make sense for someone to call a creture like god at the plural out of nowhere, especially since Hebrew exists since thousands of years. To my mind, it makes more sense that the word Elohim was first used to mean the pantheon of the Canaanite gods, then used for Yahweh alone when he Remained the only god after the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity
@@underappreciatedlowquality4240
Yes, but you are assuming an Arab Bedouin from Hijaz is familiar with the Theological developments of Judaism from 1500 BC all the way to 610 AD.
What is more likely?
Muhammad Knew the modern consensus on the development of Monotheism in Judaism, or did he simply use the common tool of Royal Plural in certain situations to emphasise something.
Nothing suggests that Muhammad had the Hebrew Codeces from which he could extrapolate that Elohim used to refer to an actual plural and not a royal one, let alone that he could read Hebrew.

Quran 2:143 literally says it was a big task not to face the kaba but to face Jerusalem instead .
Impressive video whoever ❤❤
Hey. Thanks for the commentary, but I happen to disagree on some points, especially some details, so I think it's a good thing to share! :)
1) ʾIlāh = is god in Arabic, but ''god'' in lower case, which can mean any god. The Arabic evolution of Al + ʾIlāh with the determinative article into ''Allah'', simply means ''The + God'', which in English we render with capital ''God'' to distinguish between random gods and the monotheistic God of Abraham. As such, Al + ʾIlāh becoming Allah, I agree it's the name of ''God'' for Arabs, but it's important to show how the process of selection through grammar works, from the gods to ''The God''. Grammar reflects a lot on how Arabs developed the theological concept through time by discarding what they perceived as the ''useless and fake gods'' into the ''One and Only True God''.
2) Almost everywhere you search online, the topic is almost known as ''The 99 Names of Allah'' not ''Attributes''. But the names, denote Allah's attributes, to be precise, so it would be precise to point that out. When doing my research, though, I noticed that some of these names/attributes are common also to the pre-islamic gods. Like for example Ar-Rahman, which has already been explained in this video to the epithet of Baal Hadad ''Rammanu''. But we also have Al-Aziz (with the ancient pre-islamic god Azizos), or the name of Al-Hakam, with the God ''Al-Haukim'', al-Quddūs with the Canaanite deities ''Qodosh'', etc. What I mean, is that each name tends to be a praise that was given to the ancient gods of the Middle East at large, showing ''an evolution'' internal to the Middle East at large.
3) About Q:2:143-144 is probably the one I disagree the most. (By the way, good job, most people don't know actually that the Qibla was changed with this ayat; I'm taking for experience as I lived in Indonesia for some time and I mostly interacted with Indonesian Muslims, so when I show surah al Baqarah they get shocked xD). It is important to take into consideration Q:2:142 too, probably the most important to understand the historical context. Surah al-Baqarah is a Medinan surah. Before the Hijrah it seems that Muhammad had a very positive view of Jews and Judaism, and expected he would be accepted open-hand by Jews as the last prophet in their tradition. But when the Banu Nadir, Banu Qurayza and Banu Qaynuqa refused him, and mocked him and refused to fight on his side against the Meccans during the battle of the Trench, Muhammad sieged the tribes, one after the other, and probably it is in that moment that he first turned against the Jews. Some Jews, especially Yemenite Jews, often even embraced Muhammad as the last prophet, like Mukhayriq ibn al-Nadir, that Muhammad, after his death in battle called ''The best among Jews'' but that was kind of very rare actually. So scholars attribute the change of the Qibla from Jerusalem to Mecca to the unexpected refusal of the Jews of the prophethood of Muhammad.
Much love to you, and hope to see you again! ❤

@VladRacovitaEN indeed
I agree with the first and second points I didn't know that some of these names had pre islamic roots. As for the third point its important to point out that when in mecca muhamed would pray towards jeruslem but do that while also facing the kabba so he would stand south of the kabaa and both the kaba and jersuslem were in the same direction as mentioned in sirah ibn ishaq .
So when he went to medina he had to pray towards jeruslem and consequently put the kabba behind him . And that was a big burden on muslims as they held the kabba to a hight regard as mentioned in quran 2:143
And surah al baqarah was revealed 5 years before the battle of the trench as after the battle there was no anymore jews in medina so how could they say what is they said in quran 2:142. And yes it most likely really contributed that the jews didn't belive in him and Mock him. Thank you for replying brother (exmuslim from syrai)
Well, now to be honest is more clear what you were trying to convey, and it also makes a lot of logical sense that they felt discomfort in praying that way, so I actually agree and will put it in the next videos regarding this topic.
Thank you mate!
@VladRacovitaEN thanks for that my friend. I just connected surah baqarah was revealed in 622 AD and the hijrah(migration) happened in 622 AD . 👍👍👍🙏🙏
You’re sort of correct. The name “Al-Lah” actually means “God Lah” in Arabic, not “the God”. “Al” for God and “Lah” which is the name of the God. This is the Islamic God’s true name. Even Allah’s daughters have similar names, like Al-Lat and Al-Uzza.
The kabba was a large tent originally, before they made it out of stone.
no Kaba was already building built by our Prophet Abraham Pbuh. With the passage of time people used to put idols in the Kaba!!!!!!
That's a stament of belief, you can believe that. But you cannot prove it. Check the scientific community and research on Abraham and him and his son building the Kaaba. It's like a 0% of probability he did. As long as you can't change the mind of the academic consensus, arguments like this are invalid.
Well. Listening to the video, it was Built on a well, therefore it was the cover of a well no? It was just 4 walls Surrounding the well, so it was a cover
@@myounas4456that's a statement of religion. You cannot prove that.
@@underappreciatedlowquality4240 Prophet Abraham Pbuh with his son Ismael Pbuh built Kaba!!!!
There is so much similarities between Vedic culture and old arabic culture we call rainbow Indra dhnush meaning thunder God bow 🏹
Wow! I was not aware of that because I'm not knowledgeable of Hinduism/Vedic culture. Did you spot other similarities apart from that?
Islam spread by the sword will die by the internet
ur dream, it will spread no mater how much propaganda u people make!!!! Remember the more u people tried to defame Islam the more it will grow 😊❤
Islam grows only demographically because it is common in poor countries, and people in poor countries tend to have many more babies per capita than developed countries. That's sex, not Islam's arguments being valid.
Whaaat?
Inqusition? Reconquista? Witch hunt? Crussade? Colonialism? WW1? WW2? Nazi's camp? comunist revolution? Nuke on human? That what muslim do?
And now US military complex just waging war in every corner on earth, direct or by proxies, for money.
Europe become region where the most war happen in recorded history, america (north and south) and australia is become region with no native language and culture survived.
And make africa from oldest human civilization to most less developed civilization.
Not just human, you even genocide everything that walked on earth, emu in australia and bison in a america.
@@VladRacovitaEN idiot UAE, Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and egypt can buy you, your ancestors and future generations to come.
A display of power does not make your point about Islam valid. Islam will remain regardless a religion developed from pre-Arabian polytheism.
Then, maybe you don't know. But just two states of the US, California + Texas (60 million people in total) by GDP are worth as much as the whole Muslim world (2 billion people), or as much as France and Germany. In your position I would not feel so sure about who buys whom. As long as Muslim countries don't develop, nobody will take them too seriously internationally, they are a threat only to themselves and their citizens.
Also, GDP Israel with 9.6 million people, 525 Billion USD.
Egypt GDP 477 Billion USD with 111 million people.
Egypt is terribly poor. Your perspective about the world is terribly uninformed.

Quran 68:1 says:
Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe, You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman. And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.
Verse 65:12 says:
It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge.
Your descriptions are not correct idk where you got that these verses were about the about the origin of creation...
Informative video but this is just flat out false
Further more the narration of a whale is attributed to Ibn ‘Abbaas not Muhammad
Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to engage with the content of our video. I'd like to clarify some points and provide further context based on your feedback.
Our video mentions Quran 68:1 to introduce the concept of the pen, which is foundational in many classical Islamic interpretations of creation. This verse emphasizes the importance of the pen and knowledge, setting the stage for a broader discussion on Islamic cosmography. It's important to note that our discussion reflects the interpretations of early Islamic scholars and their views on the origins of creation.
We referenced Quran 65:12 to discuss the creation of seven earths, a concept found in Islamic cosmology. The detailed description of the earths being laid out flat and stacked comes from specific Tafsir literature, such as the works of At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, Ibn Kathir, and Jalalayn. These interpretations provide insight into the early Islamic understanding of the world's structure.
The narrative involving the whale (Nun) is indeed found in the interpretations by early Islamic scholars like At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, and Ibn Kathir, and Ibn Abbas. This story is attributed to these scholars' exegesis and is not a direct Quranic statement. We aimed to present these traditional interpretations to highlight how early Islamic cosmography was perceived.
Our reference to mountains acting as pegs (Q:78:6-7; Q:31:10) to stabilize the Earth aligns with traditional interpretations of these Quranic verses. This concept is widely accepted in Islamic exegesis.
To address your concern, our video does not claim that the cited Quranic verses provide a detailed creation narrative. Instead, we use these verses as starting points to explore early Islamic cosmography based on classical interpretations. The whale narrative, attributed to Ibn ‘Abbaas and other scholars, is presented as part of these traditional interpretations rather than a direct statement from the Quran.
To be precise:
The first part of the video about how Allah created the world is a representation of the world with parts mostly taken from the Quran and some bits from Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Here there is no mention of Bahamut, Kuyata and Falak.
The second part of the presentation, is actually trying to match such points with the Islamic cosmography from Early Islam to Medieval Islamic cosmography. Zakariyya' al-Qazwini, is a bit far in time, but presents the three mythological animals in great detail in ''Aja'ib al-Makhluqat''. Other geographers and cosmographers of different time periods such Al-Damiri, Al-Kisāʾī, al-Tha'labi, Ibn al-Wardi, Yaqut, all agree through time that the world is sustained on a giant fish (Bahamut), on top of which there is a bull (Kuyuta), on top of which there is a ruby and on top of which is an angel above that holds the earths and the heavens.
What they don't agree on, is the names of the creatures, some call them Bahamut, some Bahmut, some Balhut; the Bull is often called Kuyuta or Luyatan, but Al-Damri from Egypt for example calls it Rakabouna.
20:13 makes sense
Lol. Rotating around balls of earth with goat milk sprinkled on it!
You can either say that Islam is a mixture of everything or that Allah is indeed The God of all & everything…. I loved watching this, thank you.
Thank you too for being here!

I think you can only say Allah is just as made up as the rest of the Abrahamic gods, Jesus and Yahweh. He came from similar Semitic pagan origins. and it is pretty obvious that it is.
The way Islam was created, via intolerance and killing of pagan, by force is proof that this was purposely designed for power and nothing more. I also find any religion birthed by violence something that should not be followed.
so no Allah is not the god of everything. but he was inspired by all the pagan gods before him
Of course Islam has parts from polytheistic religions , how could it not when the Koran was taken from all over the middle east and assembled by Mohammad ? If Mohammad didn't know the names he used origins , why would you expect him to know these things were pagan ? Of course it's going to contain things that are polytheistic . Persians were polytheistic . He just erased every other name and wrote in Allah and placed him self where Jesus would be in Christianity. It's kind of obvious .
Look at the comments here below and you'll find that to many is not as obvious as it is to you

Jesus is god in Christianity no ? Muhammad SAW is not god lmao. 😅
@@kulashkng7059 r.i.f. reading is fundamental . Mohammad does not claim to be God . He claims to be a prophet . Huge difference . Christ does not claim to be God either but rather the office and authority of God . Now many people will contort words to try to prove they are right , but if you were right you wouldn't have to lie to make a point would you. Don't be angry at the bearer of bad news , just accept it and respond accordingly .
@@Mr.E-gi5rq The Quran mentions Jesus numerous times, yet Muhammad is not mentioned in his own holy book. In the English translation, they try to cover up this embarrassment by putting Muhammad’s name in brackets. It’s so obvious that the Hadiths were created to change the narrative of Islam to benefit kings and rulers. Even Muslims follow the Hadiths more than they do the Quran. Without the Hadiths, Islam will lose all its identity and practices.
@Kulashkng Muslims literally kill people for blasphemy against mohammed. Not even Allah, but for mohammed. Mohammed is definitely a demi-god within Islam..you can claim he isn't all you want. But you don't kill people for blaspheming against a human.
