Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Bible vs. The Quran: Surah al-Baqarah Verses 156-158.
Last time on Flippin’ Fatwa Friday, we covered three issues, talking about good works, the Ka’ba, and jihad. Today, we’re sort-of back to talking about the Ka’ba, though we’ll more specifically be looking at another big part of the Hajj. Let’s take a look at this:
156. Who, when a calamity befalls them, say, ‘Surely, we belong to Allah and to him, of course, we return (and in his will is our peace).’ 157. It is they upon whom descend the benedictions from their Lord and his mercy, and it is they who are guided aright. 158. The Safa and Marwah (- the two eminences near Ka’ba) are certainly (two) of the symbols of Allah, so he who is on Pilgrimage to the house or performs ‘Umrah (- a visit to Ka’ba), there is no blame on him to perform Tawaf (- to run between) the two (eminences), and he who remains thoroughly dutiful and chooses to do good deeds spontaneously, the surely (he will find) Allah is Appreciative and rewards ever good deed done. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing.
I’ve already talked about the pagan origins of the Ka’ba and the Black Stone, but one of the things I sadly forgot to mention was how the Hajj also includes running between two small hills, the Safa and Marwa, seven times. This verse is the only time where this practice is mentioned, and it isn’t really elaborated on in the Quran.
The pagan origins of this practice aren’t something that can only be found through spending hours flipping through history books or scrolling on Google. It’s readily admitted in the hadiths that this practice stems from Arabian pagans. For example, Sahih Bukhari 4496 says:
Narrated `Asim bin Sulaiman:
I asked Anas bin Malik about Safa and Marwa. Anas replied, “We used to consider (i.e. going around) them a custom of the Pre-islamic period of Ignorance, so when Islam came, we gave up going around them. Then Allah revealed: “Verily, Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Mecca) are among the Symbols of Allah. So it is not harmful of those who perform the Hajj of the House (of Allah) or perform the Umra to ambulate (Tawaf) between them.”Stange how pagan customs were never absorbed into Judaism or Christianity by God. Why would Allah make a pagan custom something that is mandatory in Islam?
The reason for this has much to do with what I’ve mentioned in previous posts about the Hajj. It was all to gain a following. Muhammad knew that these customs were important to the people groups he knew. It wasn’t something they would give up easily. Thus, he simply absorbed them into Islam to make it more palatable for them.
Until next time,
M.J.

When is Eid ul Adha?
Eid ul Adha is on the 10th of Dhul Hijja, the last month of the Islamic year, starting after the new moon is sighted. It marks the end of Hajj and falls about 10 weeks after Eid ul Fitr.

Die tödliche #Hitzewelle während der #Hajj-#Pilgerfahrt in #SaudiArabien verdeutlicht die #Klimabedrohung für die Verwundbarsten. Temperaturen in #Mekka erreichten bis zu 52 °C. Viele der 1.301 Todesopfer waren unregistrierte Pilger ohne Zugang zu #Kühlzentren. Diese Pilger, oft aus ärmeren Ländern, wurden von Betrügern ausgenutzt. Die extreme Hitze führte zu Notfällen und Todesfällen. Offizielle Maßnahmen wie reflektierende Straßenbeschichtungen halfen wenig.

Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, is always dangerous, but topping 50°C and over 500 deaths is astonishing.

@AnnaAnthro
Reading this ⬆️ i was wondering how hot it was in #Mecca just now - I don’t really have a sense of “normal” temperatures during the #Hajj or indeed of what kind of #ClimateAdaption or #HeatActionPlans are in place for this already, but it’s made me think more about wider social, cultural impact of #ClimateChange - might events like Hajj or #Juneteenth in #Houston (where rapper #BigPokey may have died of #Heatstroke during performance) become untenable? #ClimateDiary -
Indonesia’s Ministry for Religious Affairs announced that the fee for hajj that people will bear will be raised to Rp69million, a significant increase from the previous cost of Rp39 million. With the full cost being Rp98 million, the government will subsidize the remaining Rp29 million.
69 million, huh?
