Hubal repackaged as Allah or the 'one'

“The source of this (Allah) goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is not a common name meaning “God” (or a “god”), and the Muslim must use another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity.” [Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (ed. Hastings), I:326]

Al-Lah or El-Lah, or i-lah means 'the one' and referenced the 'one true Lord' who governed the universe. It comes directly out of the long post neo-lithic cults which dominated the Near East, including the tribes living in the poor, parched and rather uncivilized Arabian peninsula. The Babylonian name for the 'Lord' was 'Sin' and the moon deity Baal was the 'Sin' which dominated the pantheon of pantheism. Baal or Hubal was worshipped in Mecca for hundreds of years before Muhammad dropped into the scene and conflated Hubal with ilah and destroyed the rest of the pagan symbols – one for each day – formely worshipped by the Arab cult.

We know that Allah is Baal. The proof is obvious. According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, for example, Allah corresponded to the Babylonian god Baal, and Arabs knew of him long before Mohammed worshipped him as the supreme God, or to be more exact, as 'the greatest of the gods'. In other words early in his ministry Muhammad never made the claim that Allah was the 'only' divinity, but simply primus inter pares. When Moslem Jihad, warring and extermination proved successful then the claim to be the greatest was changed to 'the only divine source'. Allahu Akhbar does not mean 'god is great'. It means that Allah is the greatest. But don't expect the PC Marxists and the media to know that.

Long before Islam and the arrival of the rather obtusely insane Muhammad, the Arabs had recognized many gods and goddesses, and each tribe of course had their own deity and their own 'ilah' or 'one' [maybe some even worshipped Obama ?]. Nature deities and celestial veneration abounded, as one would expect in an uncivilized, pastoral and illiterate society. The name of Allah denoted the god of the Meccan Quarish tribe, which was Mohammed's tribe before he invented Islam to lead his people out of their polytheism and cement his dictatorship – one Allah, one Muhammad, one state. Allah was certainly known in pre-Muhammadan times as 'the' Moon God, who had 3 daughters who were viewed as intercessors for the people into Allah. Their names were Al-at, Al-uzza, and Al-Manat, which were three goddesses; the first two daughters of Allah had names which were the feminine forms of Allah. Allat was the consort of the Allah and she is depicted usually as the Sun god. Some scholars reverse Allat and Allah and assign to Allah the title of the Sun god and to Allat that of the moon deity. To be frank I don't think there is a lot of proof or common-sense in this approach.

“The name Allah, as the Qur'an itself is witness, was well known in pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions from North Africa.” [Arthur Jeffrey, ed., Islam: Muhammad and His Religion (1958), p. 85.]

Back to Baal. Hubal was the chief God of the Kaaba shrine or cube [a very simple and crude structure] in Mecca. He was the first among the 360 deities. Hubal was praised as the chief God of the Kaaba and his statue appears in the likeness of a man whose body was made of red precious stones whose arms were made of gold. [See 'Islam' George Braswell Jr.]

“Historians like Vaqqidi have said Allah was actually the chief of the 360 gods being worshipped in Arabia at the time Mohammed rose to prominence. Ibn Al-Kalbi gave 27 names of pre-Islamic deities...Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah was already being worshipped at the Ka'ba in Mecca by Arab pagans before Mohammed came. Some Muslims become angry when they are confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side. Pre-Islamic literature has proved this.” [G. J. O. Moshay, Who Is This Allah? (Dorchester House, Bucks, UK, 1994), pg. 138]

Certainly the Kabaa and the worship of Hubal have a long pre-Moslem history. This fact has been detailed many times before. Sadly for Moslems and their apologists the Kaaba in Mecca was formerly named Beit-Allah meaning House of Allah. We are told it was first built in heaven. This is highly doubtful – to be diplomatic. Anyways the moon deity building a cube in heaven, as rough and tawdry as the ancient Kabaa most certainly was, is in direct opposition to what Moses was instructed to build, something overlooked by the Muslims in their reading of the Bible, even though they tell us that Moses was a prophet of Islam and ordered about by the Allah deity. A theory that would have bewildered Moses, since he was the prophet who opposed the Baal cult and in fact had his Levites hack to death many hundreds of Baal and Golden Calf worshippers.

When Muhammad became the cult's supreme dictator he smashed the other idols in the Kabaa and made one God, with himself conveniently as the only messenger. [This is the same ploy used by L Ron Gore in his leadership of the GlobaloneyWarming Mother Earth cult.] Prophet Muhammad kept the Kaaba as a holy, sacred place and confirmed that the black stone had the power to take away man's sins- in the name of the Allah. Every cult believer was forced to make a pilgrimage to the stone at least once in his lifetime. (Sura 22:26-37). Certainly no Old Testament saint or personality ever ventured near Mecca let alone the Kaaba and none kissed its black stone despite stories that Abraham and Ishmael restored it. Moslem propaganda uses the Goebbels method of lying – make it a big one.

And why not Allah? It was his family's cult idol. The literal name of Mohammed's father in Arabic is Abd Allah – slave of Allah [how nice to be a slave to a moon idol]. His uncle's name Obred Allah – from Allah or follower of Allah. These names show the devotion of Mohammed's families pagan roots, and also prove that Allah was part of a polytheistic system of worship before Allah was made the supreme and only god from the other God's.

We also know that Allah is pagan because the totalitarian Mohammed used the name Allah which was formerly the name of a specific idol, without ever distinguishing it from the idols the Meccan’s were already worshipping. In other words the idea of Al-Lah simply replaces what was already being done. It was a small modification of previous worship and rituals, but never a complete break. The worship of Allah is thus in reality, a polytheistic paganism. There was no demand for the pagan Arabs to replace their polytheism with the idea of a new Judaic inspired anthropomorphic divinity. Nor were they ordered by Muhammad to abstain from their rituals and practices. No such demands were ever introduced into Moslem theology. Muhammad simply took the existing practices, declared them holy and afixed the Allah label to 'god' worship. This is what any politician at the time would have done.
