Mecca

Later, a new religion was born in Mecca. Mohammed preached about the sole God to people who preferred idol worship. It is obvious that Mohamed had a thorough education, rather than being ignorant as described in some records. Many commentators also talk about kabalistic masters and Jewish doctrines. It is no coincidence that Moses is one of the most frequently mentioned names in the Quran. It was terribly difficult for Mohammed to persuade people of the concept of a single, loving God, because these people had very strong beliefs in idol worshipping. They even filled the holy house of the single God, constructed by Mohammed’s ancestor Abraham, with idols.

When Mohammed began delivering his messages, everybody believed he had shifted to the Sabi religion because most of his doctrines were influenced by it. Actually, out of all the holy books, only the Quran regarded the Sabi religion as being monotheistic. The Pillars of Islam—such as worship, fasting, pilgrimage to Mecca ( hajj ), ablution, and sacrifice—come from Sabi beliefs and rituals.

All of these beliefs are rules in the Sabi religion rather than of Arabic traditions as suggested. In fact, worshipping, or more precisely the ritual prayer salat , completely derives from the Sabians. In modern Latin-based languages, Sunday refers to the day when the Sabians worshipped the Sun, and Monday/Lundi refers to when they worshipped the moon. The same goes for Mercredi for Mercury, Saturday/Samedi for Saturn, and so on.

Although there was no such rule in the beginning, Mohammed preferred to pray while facing toward Jerusalem. The reason for this is still unknown, but it is assumed to be out of deep respect for the Jewish belief. After the migration to Medina, he started facing toward Mecca in hope of returning and bringing victory to the ousted people. The new religion, having a name meaning peace and serenity, had its breakpoint through this change. Some Islamic scholars point out the differences between the verses written in Mecca and the ones written in Medina in terms of their content and style. The Mecca messages, namely the Mekki verses, are more universal and about love, whereas the Medina verses, namely the Medeni verses, are more localized and concerned with fear. The Medeni verses contained many regulations about social life, civil law, the organization of the state, and even how women should dress. These verses are the ones that came into use with Omar’s direct intervention.

Mohammed is a well-known historical character whose existence is better documented than that of Moses or Jesus, who delivered his messages directly himself. However, the Medeni verses that came about during the extraordinary circumstances of the Hegira led to new comments emerging about Islam after Mohammed’s death. The Sunnahs and Hadiths established a new form of Islam despite warnings from the Quran and Mohammed himself. As a result, people who defended the love of God moved to an esoteric understanding of Islam, while the masses preferred embracing the fearful messages of the virtual Islam.
