Atheist asking a Muslim about Rituals of Pilgrimage= Hajj.

Why the Rituals of Pilgrimage= Hajj are Paganistic?

Are there any Pagan Rituals in Pilgrimage= Hajj in Mecca?

An atheist friend of mine asked me, what is the benefit of turning around the Kaaba = The Black stone in Mecca, a sly smile spread across his face while talking,

and I found the answer in the book of Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud titled “A dialogue with my atheist friend.”

Do you not notice with me that your Islamic rituals of pilgrimage known in Arabic by Hajj are explicit paganism, that Black stone structure that you call the Kaaba= The Black stone in Mecca and you circumambulate around it, sweep around it and roam around it?

And the stoning of Satan symbol, jogging seven times between Safa mountain and Marwa mountain in Mecca, kissing the Black Stone, and the story of circumambulating around Kaaba = The Black stone in Mecca Seven rounds known by

tawafs, the Seven Stoning of the Stan symbol, and the Seven Jogs represent Hajar the wife of Prophet Ibrahim you have been talking about, which are remnants of the myth of Talismanic numbers in ancient oddities.

And the Ihram garment that you wear on the meat

Do not be blamed if I hurt your feelings with my blunt and frank questions, but there is no shame in asking to find out your Islamic view on all these apparent pagan rituals.

Muslim Response to the athiest claims:

As I a Muslim I say this:

Do not you also notice with me that in the laws of the Physics which I have studied

The smallest circulates around the largest

An Electron in an Atom revolves around the Nucleus

And the Moon around the Earth

And the Earth around the Sun

And the Sun around the Galaxy

And the galaxy is around a larger galaxy

Until we reach the greatest absolute, which is Almighty Allah

Do not we as Muslims say Allah Akbar= Allah= God is the Greatest

Which means Almighty Allah is greater than anything and everything else.

Whether you like it or not, you are also circumambulating around something whether that your idol of atheism or a person you love or a habit, sport, or anything else you are addicted to

You as an atheist or scientist might think that you have the lead and the initiative, but you are not.

Vast majority of science is diagnosis and reaction-based approach. In other words, Almighty Allah in the Noble Quran has challenged anyone to create even a fly. Word “create” here means come up with a fly from NOTHING without using any existing material or component.

Almighty Allah created all these planets, galaxies, atoms in all these ways that circumambulate around each other as evidence that the creator of all these things is the same one, Almighty Allah the

creator. He is the same one ordering us to circumambulate around his house in Mecca or what is known by Kaaba= the Black box in Mecca.

Almighty Allah is king of kings, and everyone is in motion around.

And this is the smallest and largest law that I have learned in physics

As for us, we circumambulate around the house of God= Kaaba= The black Box in Mecca, which is the first house that man took to worship God, and it became from that early date a symbol and a house for God.

Do you not wander around a mummified man in the Kremlin glorifying him and say that he has benefited mankind?

If you knew a grave for the famous English poet and writer

Shakespeare, you would compete to visit him more than we would compete to visit Prophet Muhammad’s grave peace be upon him.

Wouldn't you put a rose bouquet every year on a stone monument and say it symbolizes the Unknown Soldier?

So why do you blame us Muslims for throwing a stone at a symbolic monument that we say symbolizes the Devil?

Do not you live in a jog from your birth to your death

Then after your death your son starts jogging again

It is the same symbolic journey

Safa word (which Safa mountain in Mecca was named after) in Arabic comes from serenity, serenity, emptiness, or emptiness is a symbol of nothingness

To Marwa word (which Marwa mountain in Mecca was named after), which means fountain that symbolizes life and existence

From nothing into being, then from being to nothing

Is this not the pendulum movement of all creatures?

Do you not see in the rituals of Pilgrimage=Hajj a deep symbolic summary of all these secrets?

As for number 7 that you are mocking

Let me ask you what the secret of number7 in the musical tone ladder?

After the seventh step, the answer of the solemn comes again

We do not find 8 on this musical tone ladder but we go back to another seven degrees and so on.

Also the degrees of the light spectrum 7, as well as the electrons revolving around the nucleus of the atom in ranges 7 and the

embryo does not complete until the 7th month and if it is born before that it dies and the days of the week 7

Does not that indicate anything

Or are all these sciences also talismanic oddities?

Do not, you accept and kiss a letter coming to you from your sweetheart ... Are you a heathen?

So why do you blame us Muslims if we kiss that Black Stone?

What our Prophet Muhammad blessings and peace be upon him, carried in his robe and kissed

There is no pagan in that at all.

Because we do not go in the rituals of worship towards the stones themselves, but towards deeper meanings, symbols, and memories, the rituals of Pilgrimage =Hajj are many occasions to stir the mind, inspire feelings, and stir up piety in the heart.

As for the Ihram garment that we wear just on our skin with bare minimum clothes, and it is required that it not be sewn, it is a symbol of going out of the adornment of this world and of complete stripping before the Creator, just as we come to this world in the lap

And we get out of this world in a similar cloth and enter the grave in the same cloth namely the shroud= the white cloth a Muslim dead body is wrapped up in, in preparation for burial.

Do not you require that you wear formal suits to meet important persons you get an invitation to meet, such as kings, government officials, bosses or even your potential employer?

And we Muslims say: There is nothing befitting the majesty of God except impartiality and taking off all adornments because He is greater than all kings and because it is not suitable in standing

before him unless we are in complete humility and impartiality, and because this simple dress worn by the rich and the poor, the Maharaja and the millionaire before God.

This dress or white cloth we wear while doing Pilgrimage=Hajj in Mecca has another meaning which is: symbolizes, strengthen, and embolden the Brotherhood feelings between all Muslims from

around the world who come to Mecca, regardless of ethnicity, race, color, geographical background, nationality, ranks, positions or wealth. This is the beauty of Islam, there is NO racism in Islam, Islam encourage the dissolution of racism between All people and Muslims in particular.

Pilgrimage=Hajj in Mecca is once a year is a great meeting for attending Muslims from around the world. It is like an annual conference, Similarly to weekly Friday prayer, which is the small conference in which we meet every week.

They are all beautiful meanings for those who think and contemplate, and they are far from pagan

And if you stood with me on Arafa mountain in Mecca among several million saying Allah Akbar = God is greatest and recite the Noble Qur’an in more than twenty languages ​​and chant ((Oh God, God bless you))

and cry and melt with longing and love, you too would cry without realizing and dissolve in the great crowd of creation and I felt that mortality and reverence before Almighty Allah.

Allah knows Best.
