Did the pre-Islam pagans practice Muslim rites back in the day?
The ritual of circulating the Kaaba is certainly a pre-Islamic rite,pagan Meccans practised this a long time before Islam,also the Pilgrimage itself long pre dates Islam. Arabs from all over the peninsula made the hajj performing all the rites over several days Muhammad took the old religion of the Arabs rites rituals etc and gave them a new twist .Its the same in Christianity ,did you know they there was a Easter before Jesus .Which venerated the Roman God Ishtar.This, and much more can be true, because religion is man made,and the evidence can be found in Historical analysis.
