Who built the kaaba that is in Mecca?

SHAKIR And even if you bring to those who have been given the Book every sign they would not follow your qiblah, nor can you be a follower of their qiblah, neither are they the followers of each other's qiblah, and if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, then you shall most surely be among the unjust.
From my POV, the verse 2.144 clearly shows that you must point toward a physical location on Earth. Unless "bayt-al-haram" is not on Earth
-
You mean everyone should have his own qibla?

The truth is consistent with reality...but is reality what you perceive?

Yes of course thats why you know its consistent with truth..........

Nuh-uh!
Where reality does not meet "truth", we find that "reality" is not so!
Take this thread as a prime example.
Let me rephrase - we must break this idiotic notion that what we see is gospel truth and that all else are wrong, and commence a truly objective and unbiased study of "reality", and of course, the Quran. Oh, and the hadith. The last has been done. But that was "the easy bit".
Edit Damn, highly off-topic, apologies, people...

no, reality always meet the truth..............when we are unable to understand reality and truth we become confuse........confusion is the result of inability to unerstand truth or reality...........

For pilgrimage? none of his close family member/decedents i.e. LUT, ISHAQ, YAQOOB, YOUSAF came to Mecca for pilgrimage?Rajah-If it is not in Quran then you are relying on history or am I wrong?
If on history then what makes your history more reliable then main stream? Give us proofs for it!The above mentioned verses are my proofs.
None of the verse above say that LUT, ISHAQ, YAQOOB, or Yousaf did not travelled to MEcca!

Now according to my understanding?.it is clear that the people to whom Mohammed is addressing did not receive any Warner/messenger before him?.neither did their forefathers received any warning before Mohammad.
Yes! So where is the problem?, I too am saying the same, Meccans did not recieved any Warner/Messanger before
Muhammad as Abraham was not assigned for Meccans, he only visited and with help of his Son purified/rebuilt the KAABA that is in Mecca and returned to his assinged land.
In the particular verse which we were discussing it was regarding story of Moses.Agent XXX
This grave is acknowledged by Muslims to be under the Mosque of Abraham in Hebron. since Ishmail was not living with Ibrahim when Ibrahim died, so Ishaq had to send a messenger to Ishmail (in Paran) to inform him.
If Ishmael was living in Mecca How many days it would have taken for a messenger from Hebron to Mecca and for Ishmael to make it to Hebron? The body of Abraham will be rotting very badly by then.
Unless Ishaq had a cell phone to inform Ismail about the death of their father and Ismail had a chopper service or a land cruiser ready to take him to Hebron?.I don?t think he would have made it to Hebron from Mecca in time to attend his father?s funeral either on foot or on a horse.
So it is more probable that Paran was just at the southern boundary of Canaan, from where Ishmail could make it within a day or two?Stop making fun out of yourself.
When I visited some of the Mummies of Pharoah's, they were not rotting badly even after thousands of year. And what do you know? There is no Paran in southeren boundary of Canaan.
Further acting funny Agent XXx
Mount paran is the chain of mountains in kharian, Punjab. Which the local Punjabi call Pubbian
The Arabs can call it what ever they like?.it serves their purpose .
There are people who say ?Murree? the hill station near Islamabad is named after Mary ?mother of Jesus? and she is buried there?.there is a Kadam gah of Ali in haiderabad, sind??.there is a foot print of Mohammed in ?Pakpattan??.there is a place kohkaf near ?Chitral? where they say the fairies live?am I to believe all this without any solid evidence?
Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. (From the NIV Bible, Galatians 425)"
Larry Williams a prominenet scholar has written a book arguing that the biblical Mt.Sinai is not in the Sinai Peninsula but rather in Saudi Arabia. We know of no serious scholar that has argued this.
Another prominenet Scholar, Frank Moore Cross, a very prominent scholar indeed, sees Mount Sinai
as located in Arabia.If we can rely on the Bible for its geography here, then Sinai/Horeb is associated with
Midian, Paran, and Seir. These areas all appear to be east of the Rift Valley in what is
today modern Jordan and Saudi ArabiaMount Paran is the chain of mountains in that same region which the Arabs call the "Sarawat Mountains". Muhammad (pbuh) received his first revelation in the cave of "Hira'a" located in these mountains.

Wonder why? Jesus, Zikria or Yahya were least interested in this house of Allah
very very significant evidenceHow do you know they were least interested in house of Allah??
If you have any credible proof, then present it and the discussion might have ended long ago, what are you waiting for??
We will discuss it in detail.

After I told the truth to bro agentxxx, he seemed quite satisfied Alhamdulillah....
Wonder why? Jesus, Zikria or Yahya were least interested in this house of Allah Wink
This is another misconception that they never visited. We should only say Allah never told us if they visited! But alhamdulillah as a Muslim we all believe that they all definitely visited it for sure with great passion. MashaAllah.
bro agentxxx please consider the following as well.....As I mentioned earlier as a Muslim we all believe that they all visited that place, the last prophet before prophet Mohammed was Jesus and when he visited there wasn't any idol inside the Kaaba, so meccans were not worshipping any idol. Some of the prophet tried to warn the meccans but they clearly said to them "you are not warners to us dudes, so perform your hajj thing and go back from where you have come". It was only after the last visit of Jesus that meccans started idol worshipping because they were sure then that no prophet was going to come now to perform hajj. But it was only their bad luck that this time the prophet was born among themselves to destroy their idols. Alhamdulillah.....
I hope it helps...

If meccans were not worshipping idols, and prophets came to mecca for hajj, I presume meccans, too, performed hajj to God, and thus believed in Him. So, why would any prophet want to warn them?

Ok no problem, because hajj is a part of Deen not the all Deen itself. So those meccans didn't know anything else and thus needed a Warner and also they started idol worshiping after the last visit of Jesus so surely they needed the prophet. Now they couldn't say to God that previous prophets came and went after performing the hajj and didn't warn us......no excuses for them after the prophet mohammed. Alhamdulillah
I hope it helps...

After a few centuries Ismail and Abraham these people forgot all the teachings and the way of their elders and gradually adopted all those wrong practices which were rampant among the other ignorant communities. Hundreds of idols were installed in that very Ka'ba which was built as a centre of preaching and exhortation for the worship of one God, and, ironically enough, idols were made of Abraham and Isma'il themselves whose whole lives were spent in exterminating the practice of idol-worship. The descendants of Abraham, the upright, made idols called Lat, Manat, Hubal, Nasr, Yaghus, Uzza, Isaaf, Naela and God knows what others, and worshipped them. They also worshipped Moon, Neptune, Venus, Saturn and so many other stars. They further worshipped jinns, ghosts, angels as well as the spirits of their dead ancestors.
This condition lasted for more or less than two and a half thousand years as i have pointed out before No Arab prophet was born during this long period nor did any prophet's genuine teaching reach the people of Arabia. Ultimately the time arrived for granting the 'Dua' of Abraham which he had invoked while raising the walls of Ka'ba, i.e. " O Lord ! raise up in their midst a messenger from among them who shall recite unto them Thy revelations, and shall instruct them in the Scripture and in wisdom and shall reform their morals". (Al-Qur'an 2129)
The root of Isaac had many Prophets and they prospered and they were not assigned for Meccans or Arabia, but from root of Ismail Muhammad was assigned for Meccans and Arabia and for all of Mankind.
Therefore, along with the renewal of Hajj, all the customs of the time of ignorance which, had become rampant during the last two and a half thousand years, were completely exterminated.
The names you mentioned of prophets are from the line of Isaac and you may know where they lived and what were their duties further more they were not bounded to visit Mecca by Allah.
Hamsa you try to make fun of word "Alhamdulillah" without even knowing the meaning of it? Well who you are trying to impress with your non sense any way?
If you have any thing positive to contribute we are waiting but with solid evidence?Quote from agentxxx on Yesterday at 025842 PM

Ok, they were very much interested actually, but they were not bounded to visit mecca so they prefered not to visit it.....subhan Allah

peace Rajah,
Rajah- If you have any credible proof, then present it and the discussion might have ended long ago,
The discussion should have ended when I posted the other two verses to prove that ?being the first Warner for the Meccans? has nothing to do with the story of Moses WHICH WAS YOUR ORIGINAL STANCE.
You haven?t answered most of my Questions from the previous post and have yet to present any evidence from Quran to prove Ibrahim and Ismail were in Mecca. But instead you keep on asking others for credible evidence?.what about your credible answers buddy?
Can you show from the Quran where Ishmael settled?
Can you produce one single verse from the Quran stating that he settled in Mecca?
Can you even find a single verse where Becca/puran is said to be an alternate name for Mecca?
In what direction was the original Qiblah pointing?
What is the location of the sacred mosque i.e. masjid al-haram?
If you claim that it is Mecca, can you produce a single verse stating that the sacred mosque is located there?Rajah- What are you waiting for??
I was waiting for a logical explanation from you. But it seems to me that you don?t have any?
Rajah- After a few centuries Ismail and Abraham these people forgot all the teachings and the way of their elders and gradually adopted all those wrong practices which were rampant among the other ignorant communities.
why can?t these people forget the teachings centuries after Mohammad?
Rajah- This condition lasted for more or less than two and a half thousand years as i have pointed out before No Arab prophet was born during this long period nor did any prophet's genuine teaching reach the people of Arabia. Ultimately the time arrived for granting the 'Dua' of Abraham which he had invoked while raising the walls of Ka'ba, i.e. " O Lord ! RAISE UP IN THEIR MIDST A MESSENGER FROM AMONG THEM who shall recite unto them Thy revelations, and shall instruct them in the Scripture and in wisdom and shall reform their morals". (Al-Qur'an 2129)
Now we are classifying prophets as Arabs and non Arabs.......after the construction of Kaaba, for 2400 years it was even ignored by the almighty confused. And it took almost 2400 years for the ?Dua? of Ibrahim to take effect and for the lord to raise a messenger from among them?
Rajah- The names you mentioned of prophets are from the line of Isaac and you may know where they lived and what were their duties further more THEY WERE NOT BOUNDED TO VISIT MECCA BY ALLAH.
Where is your evidence for such a claim?? is this the reason why the other prophets were least interested in the house of Allah in Mecca?
Rajah- Therefore, along with the renewal of Hajj, all the customs of the time of ignorance which, had become rampant during the last two and a half thousand years, were completely exterminated.
PILGRIMAGE AND CIRCLING KABA 7X
Pagan Origin - Each local tribe of Arab pagans walked 7 times around their own kaba that housed their own black stone.
Pilgrims circle the Kaba, claiming Abraham did such.KISSING BLACK STONE.
Pagan Origin - Each local tribe of Arab Pagans kissed their own tribal black stones.
Pilgrims today kiss black stone but say it was a divine meteorite that fell at Adam?s feet and was rediscovered by Abraham."THE STONE THROW" AT MINA
Pagan Origin - Wide spread custom among Pagan Arabs.
Pilgrims today do it claiming the custom was started by Abraham when he threw stones at the devil."THE RUN" SAFA AND MARWA
Pagan Origin - Pagans ran between two idols, Isaf and Na?ila
Pilgrims today perform the same running but redefine the meaning to be Hagar running between hills, looking for water for Ishmael.None of these rituals were exterminated, only the reasons were redefined.
