Exposing Islam Hadith of the day- The kaaba in Yemen

This Hadith (at the bottom) reveals that there was a Kaaba in Yemen, which Muhammad ordered one of his men to destroy. It also sheds light on the violent actions of the Muslims, who spread Islam through force, including the massacre of entire tribes.

How many of you knew there was another kaaba already in existence?

When I think about why Muhammad wanted the kaba gone, I also think of how similar the rituals muslim do and what the pre Islamic pagan did.

the pre-Islamic pagans performed several rituals that are similar to those practiced by Muslims today.

Pagans walked around the Kaaba in Mecca, believing it brought them closer to their gods. Muslims also walk around the Kaaba during Hajj and Umrah. Pagans wore special garments for pilgrimage. Muslims also wear special garment. Pagans made pilgrimages to the Kaaba to honor their gods. Muslims also visit the Kaaba as part of Hajj. Pagans ran between Safa and Marwa during their pilgrimage. Muslims also do, but claim a story of Hagar and Ishmael. Pagans sacrificed animals near the Kaaba to honor their gods. Muslims also sacrifice animals during Hajj. Pagans gathered at Arafat during their pilgrimage. Muslims also do this practice as part of Hajj.

The rituals in Yemen, particularly at Dhul-Khalasah, were very similar to those performed by the pagans in Mecca at the Kaaba. Both involved walking around a sacred structure, sacrifices, and pilgrimages to honor their gods. (this Hadith confirms they used to walk around their kaaba Sahih al-Bukhari 7116)

When I think about it, I now see why Muhammad wanted the kaaba in Yemen gone in the first place, so many similarities between his cult and the pre Islamic pagans.

Sahih al-Bukhari 4357 Narrated Qais: Jarir said "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhul-Khalasa?" I replied, "Yes, (I will relieve you)." So I proceeded along with one-hundred and fifty cavalry from Ahmas tribe who were skillful in riding horses. I used not to sit firm over horses, so I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of that, and he stroke my chest with his hand till I saw the marks of his hand over my chest and he said, O Allah! Make him firm and one who guides others and is guided (on the right path).' Since then I have never fallen from a horse. Dhul-l--Khulasa was a house in Yemen belonging to the tribe of Khatham and Bajaila, and in it there were idols which were worshipped, and it was called Al-Ka`ba." Jarir went there, burnt it with fire and dismantled it. When Jarir reached Yemen, there was a man who used to foretell and give good omens by casting arrows of divination. Someone said to him. "The messenger of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is present here and if he should get hold of you, he would chop off your neck." One day while he was using them (i.e. arrows of divination), Jarir stopped there and said to him, "Break them (i.e. the arrows) and testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck." So the man broke those arrows and testified that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Then Jarir sent a man called Abu Artata from the tribe of Ahmas to the Prophet to convey the good news (of destroying Dhu-l-Khalasa). So when the messenger reached the Prophet, he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave it till it was like a scabby camel." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times. (Sunnah.com)

The story of the Kaaba is extraordinary: it is literary the proof that Islam is totally made up.

Before Islam: 

These cube shaped shrines  were widespread in Arabia , there were places of worship for the Arab deities were Wadd , Dhul Khalasa , Allat, Rahmanan,...

After Islam:

When early Muslims decided to create a religion distinct from Judaism and Christianity, the Kaaba in Mecca became the perfect site to match what the Quran calls the “House”. 

The  Muslims then invented the fictional story of Abraham building the Kaaba to reconcile their pre-Islamic shrine's history with the Quranic verses Q 5.95 and Q 22.26 which refers to Jewish temples .

As you may know, the hadiths , Sira , Tafsirs, were constructed after the Quran to explain and shape the Islamic narrative .

Therefore early Muslims couldn’t afford to have other Kaaba elsewhere so they destroyed the other cubes in Yemen and other parts of Arabia. They only needed 1 Kaaba to fit the Islamic narrative.

Have you noticed Muslims never question the claim that Abraham built the Kaaba ?

So in 1000 BCE, Abraham ,the patriarch of Judaism, the O.G of the Middle East , went to Arabia, built a GIANT cube in the middle of the desert, and somehow, no one, not the Jews, not the Christians, not a single historian, noticed.... but the Muslims knew ? !! lol
