MUHAMMAD ADMITS THAT HIS FATHER IS IN HELL
Dear Reader,
This is a great tragedy for Muslims. Muhammad, whose father’s name was Abdullah (meaning “servant of Allah”), confirmed that his father is in Hell, burning in torment.
These are not my words, nor am I accusing Muhammad’s father falsely—these are Muhammad’s own words.
Read the evidence here:
It is reported by Anas:
“Indeed, a man said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, where is my father?’ He said, ‘He is in Hell.’ When he turned away, the Prophet called him back and said, ‘Indeed, my father and your father are in Hell.’”
(Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0398)
And the question Muslims should ask themselves is: Why was Muhammad’s father, who was a pagan, named ‘Abdullah’?
Since Abdullah means “servant of Allah,” this clearly shows that the pagans of the Jahiliyyah period (the pre-Islamic era) were already worshipping Allah—even naming their children in honor of this deity, much like the Jews named their children in honor of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
For example:
-
Joshua – Yahweh is salvation
-
Jotham – Yahweh is perfect
-
Jehoahaz – Yahweh has held fast
-
Hezekiah – Yahweh strengthens
-
Elisha – God is salvation, etc.
The answer is clear: Allah was a pagan god worshipped before the rise of Islam. This god was the “moon god,” known as al-ilah, also called Hubal. This pagan deity was worshipped throughout the Middle East, not just by the Arabs.
FURTHERMORE:
-
Why did Muhammad admit that his father is in Hell?
-
Where did this Abdullah (servant of Allah) get his name containing “Allah”?
-
Does this mean that Allah—the pagan god—existed before Muhammad?
Indeed, Muhammad’s grandfather Abdul Muttalib almost sacrificed his son Abdullah to Allah. Abdul Muttalib had vowed to sacrifice one of his sons to Allah, and when the lots were drawn, it fell on Abdullah. He prepared to kill him as an offering to Allah, but Abdullah’s uncle intervened, and instead 100 camels were sacrificed in his place.
It is recorded that this sacrifice took place at the Kaaba (as we shall explore later).
We are told:
“The arrow showed that Abdullah was to be sacrificed. So Abdul Muttalib took the boy to the Kaaba with a knife to slaughter him. The Quraysh, his uncle from the Makhzum clan, and his brother Abu Talib tried to dissuade him. They suggested consulting a female diviner. She ordered divination arrows to be drawn between Abdullah and ten camels … finally, the number of camels reached one hundred.”
(Ibn Hisham 1/151–155; Rahmat-ul-lil’alameen 2/89, 90)
This is why the God of the Bible repeatedly warned Israel against the pagan practices of the surrounding nations, especially the worship of celestial bodies—the sun, moon, and stars.
For example:
“And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars—all the host of heaven—you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.”
(Deuteronomy 4:19)
“If there is found among you, within any of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman who has done evil in the sight of the Lord your God by transgressing his covenant, and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden…”
(Deuteronomy 17:2–3)
“For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.”
(2 Kings 21:3)
“And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.”
(2 Kings 21:5)
“He removed the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to make offerings in the high places … those who made offerings to Baal, to the sun, the moon, the constellations, and all the host of the heavens.”
(2 Kings 23:5)
“And they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served and gone after and sought and worshiped.”
(Jeremiah 8:2)
“The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah—all the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to all the host of heaven and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods—shall be defiled.”
(Jeremiah 19:13)
“Those who bow down on the roofs to the host of the heavens, those who bow down and swear to the Lord and yet swear by Milcom.”
(Zephaniah 1:5)
In 570 A.D., the year Muhammad was born, a ruler of the Aksumite Empire of Ethiopia named Abrahah al-Ashram ruled Yemen. Out of jealousy for Mecca, where pagans made their annual pilgrimage (Hajj), he built a great church in Sana’a, hoping to attract worshipers—but failed.
In anger, he decided to invade Mecca to destroy the Kaaba. He marched with a large army of elephants—hence the year became known as “The Year of the Elephant.”
The Quraysh tribes united to defend the Kaaba. Abdul Muttalib (Muhammad’s grandfather) told the people to flee to the mountains while he and a few stayed near the Kaaba.
But, facing Abrahah’s mighty army, Abdul Muttalib said:
“The Owner of this House will protect it, and I am sure He will defend it from those who seek to destroy it and will not humiliate His servants.”
Tradition says that as Abrahah advanced toward the Kaaba, flocks of birds appeared, pelting his army with stones until they were destroyed.
However, note this: At that time, Islam did not yet exist, and the Kaaba was filled with hundreds of pagan idols. So the question arises—Who was the “Owner of the House” that Abdul Muttalib referred to?
Clearly, it was the pagan god—Allah, the moon god—whom Abdul Muttalib worshipped.
The Qur’an recounts this same event in Surah Al-Fil (The Elephant) 105:1–5:
“Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephant?
Did He not make their plan go astray?
And He sent upon them flocks of birds,
Striking them with stones of baked clay,
And made them like eaten straw.”
But this event took place during pagan times, long before Islam existed. Abdul Muttalib, a servant of a pagan god, spoke of the “Lord of the House” protecting the Kaaba.
So who was this “Lord” that the Qur’an refers to? Could there have been two different gods working together—the Allah of Muhammad and the Allah of Abdul Muttalib?
Impossible. Abdul Muttalib did not know Muhammad’s Allah. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that the same pagan moon god worshipped by Abdul Muttalib was the one who “protected” the Kaaba.
Thus, this Qur’anic story does not refer to a new god—but to the same old pagan deity.
In conclusion:
-
The Kaaba is a pagan shrine.
-
Muhammad’s father is in Hell.
-
All Muslims who go on pilgrimage follow pagan practices.
-
Allah is a pagan god.
-
Islam is a pagan religion, proven by Muhammad’s own admission that his father is in Hell.
Therefore, I invite you to believe in the Living God, our Savior Jesus Christ.
God bless you greatly.
