Who Is Allah? answers the specific question, and logically explains what historians and comparative religion experts have hesitated to reveal. The circumabulation behavior, slogans, symbols, cultural practices, prayer mats, prayer beads, and other minutia such as turbans and cassocks point to a surprising origin even a simpleton would recognize. These similarities are reflected in Freemasonry, and other secretive networks and societies. The shrine at Makkah (Mecca) originally contained 360 deities, reflecting a close kinship with eastern cultures and the worship of the heavens.The practice of circumambulation, the crescent & star, the shape of the shrine, the black stone object and its relationship to the opening of metal at the corner are among many distinctive traits associated with the worship of the Hindu deity Shiva. This book investigates what the shrine was all about prior to Muhammad, and how much was carried-over into practices and ritual objects used today.
