The MYSTICAL World of Arabia Before Islam

In school, these kinds of lessons went over my head and I just couldn't wait for them to end. But outside of school, this stuff is really interesting and I genuinely want to learn more.

"Djinn" is the root word for English "Genie", according to me.
02:54 "Arabian society was predominantly organised around kinship groups": -
Bedouin proverb:-
I against my brother. My brother and I against our cousin. My brother, my cousin and I against the neighbours. All of us against the stranger.
You would be hard-pressed to find any religion that wasn't an amalgam of earlier ones but harder-pressed to find one which can manifest a god.

Imagine you walking on road and a random stranger person looks at you and says "hello brother which religion you follow? Do you know about Islam?" And then you be like either no or little "well let me teach you about Islam" and he starts explaining their beliefs and then if you say "nah i am happy with my beliefs or i am okay without it" then you see suddenly change in their words "oh non-believers going burn in fire of hell, you accept Islam you will be safe or your upcoming generation will accept Islam" like they literally threating you for not agreeing with them

Growing up in a Muslim society, we were always taught that pre-Islamic Arabs were desert savages who buried their daughters alive. This was a narrative deliberately devolope to be used as argument in favour of Islam. In my late teenage years, as I learned more and among other things we were taught about poetry in Mekka before Islam, it all started to not make sense.

the narrator voice is really nice to my ear

I can only imagine how much better it was prior to the “religion of peace” showing up. Somehow it’s so peaceful you can lose your head for drinking a beer or refusing to accept Mohammed as a prophet.

Before Islam Gods and goddesses were workshiped, That shows how women were respected like in every pagan culture and then Islam came and rest is history

In the Old Testament, Genesis, 21:21 it is said: "He (Prophet Ishmael) dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his Mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt."
Psalm 83: 4-6 talks about the enemies of among others Ishmaelites, and Hagrites (Hagar being the mother of Prophet Ishmael).
Psalm 84: 4-6 "4. Blessed are those who dwell in your House; They will still be praising You. 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on the pilgrimage. 6. As they pass through the valley of Baca. They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools."
There are several interesting points in the above verses. The name Baca could be Hebrew whereas the word Makkah is Arabic. Added to this the fact that there is a designated House of God built by Abraham, peace be upon him, in Makkah where yearly pilgrimage was performed from the time of Abraham and Ishmael, peace be upon them both, even to this day. The valley of Baca could indeed be the same as the valley of Makkah. The above verses seem to place Hagar, Ishmael and their children in the valley of Makkah where Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing of God be upon him, was born.

Isaiah, 21:12-17 mentions "12 ... In the forest in Arabia you will lodge ... 15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the distress of war." (Probable connection with the enemies mentioned in Psalm 83: 4-6 quoted above; also settlement in Arabia is confirmed; the verse 16 which follows, also confirms these verses are about Ishmaelites, Kedar being the 2nd son of Prophet Ishmael).
"16. For thus the Lord ... all the glory of Kedar will fall. 17. And the remainder ... people of Kedar will be diminished ... "
Isaiah 42:1-13 - These are very moving verses about "God's elect servant" who will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. A point worth noting is that Gentiles are the non-Jews and it was confirmed by Jesus, peace be upon him, that he was sent to the Jews. Moreover Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him, is consistently named by God as Mustafa which means 'elected' and 'Abd' which means 'servant'. Prophet Muhammad always referred to himself consistently as the 'Servant of God'The Awaited Prophet was to Come from Arabia
Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God's revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa'ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Makkah). Indeed the King James Version of the Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba'ca (another name for Makkah) in Psalms 84:4-6. Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of God. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who "shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement on the earth." Verse 11 connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke'dar. Who is Ke'dar? According to Genesis 25:13, Ke'dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of prophet Muhammad.

Muhammad's Migration from Makkah to Madinah: Prophesied in the Bible?
Habakkuk 3:3 speaks of God (God's help) coming from Te'man (an Oasis North of Madinah according to J. Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible), and the holy one coming from Paran. That holy one who was under persecution migrated from Paran (Makkah) to be received enthusiastically in Madinah was none but prophet Muhammad. Indeed the incident of the migration of the prophet and his persecuted followers is vividly described in Isaiah 21:13-17. That section foretold as well about the battle of Badr in which the few ill-armed faithful miraculously defeated the "mighty" men of Ke'dar, who sought to destroy Islam and intimidate their own folks who turned to Islam.logically speaking, if I wanted to ask about the place where any famous historical figure lived, the most correct information I shall get would be from this figure’s people or tribe and offspring, for they would be the ones most knowing of his history. If I wanted to learn about Queen Elizabeth, where she lived and where she was buried, I would ask the English people, not the Chinese. Since Ishmael P.B.U.H. was the father of Arabs and one of the most famous figures in their history, therefore the Arab tribes are the ones who are most knowing of the place where he lived, not anyone else. As inherited by all Arab tribes, even before the advent of Islam by centuries, Ishmael lived and died in the place they call “Makkah, ” and he built the sacred mosque there with his father Abraham at the sanctuary called “Bakkah.”Blessings of Ishmael and Isaac
Was the first born son of Abraham (Ishmael) and his descendants included in God's covenant and promise? A few verses from the Bible may help light on this question:

Genesis 12:2-3 speaks of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants before any child was born to him.
Genesis 17:4 reiterates God's promise after the birth of Ishmael and before the birth of Isaac.
In Genesis, Ch. 21, Isaac is specifically blessed but Ishmael was also specifically blessed and promised by God to become a "great nation" in Genesis 21:13, 18.
According to Deuteronomy 21:15-17 the traditional rights and privileges of the first born son are not to be affected by the social status of the mother (being a "free" woman such as Sarah, Isaac's mother, or a "Bondwoman" such as Hagar, Ishmael's mother). This is only consistent with the moral and humanitarian principles of all revealed faiths.
The full legitimacy of Ishmael as Abraham's son and "seed" and the full legitimacy of his mother, Hagar, as Abraham's wife are clearly stated in Genesis 21:13 and 16:3. After Jesus, the last Israelite prophet, it was time that God's promise to bless Ishmael and his descendants be fulfilled. Less than 600 years after Jesus, came the last messenger of God, Muhammad, from the progeny of Abraham through Ishmael. God's blessing of both of the main branches of family tree was now fulfilled. But is there additional corroborating evidence that the Bible did in fact foretell the advent of prophet Muhammad?

Hey there, Thanks.
This mystic land can be considered as Ordinary World of Prophet Muhammad in his Hero Journey...

good video. look up what a "de-esser" is and use it on your voice when editing. the vocie is a bit sharp.

[husseinjama]

new to this channel, however, i prefer these thumbnails to the old ones such as 'weird things or did you know" I think like this video they are better and seems more thought through and less generic like videos that you see everywhere. Great work on the video though. keep it up

[dellcoc]

It sounds like they went from some of the most educated and open minded people to the exact opposite in a short amount of time.

[MostlyPonies]

Now instead of tribes killing each other it's religious factions doing so. Imagine attacking someone because they're not the same religion/sect as you. Plain barbarism.

[multiverse-UFO]

Thanks for showing the truth 😊 There're some sources that keep insisting pre-islamic arabia was bad, and islam "enlightened" the people, but reality is not so, and although wars prevailed across the planet, pre-islamic arabia is still a cultured place. The multicultural trading is so vibrant, and the fact that goddesses are worshiped and different ethnic groups (jews, persians etc) and religions (christians, polytheists etc) coexisted proves that it's a rather tolerant society instead of, well, just look at many islamic societies nowadays.
Islam was brought to earth by negative aliens (dracos) aiming to control the people with the easiest way. That's why I say it has nothing to do with Arabs, and one doesn't have to be in any way sorry for criticizing islam, because it dehumanizes no one. And nowadays it's not the Arabs but the Western globalists that are promoting, whitewashing islam, so they deliberately make pre-islam societies look dark, just like how they hide the beautiful Republic of China, or pre-communist China before 1949. The deep state basically hides every light among humanity, but fortunately, we're not bowing down 😉
Many young people in Saudi and elsewhere are now rediscovering the beauty of native Arabian culture, and defying the intolerant societies with truths. Thanks to the internet and truth speakers like you.

This video needs to update its information about "mohammed" in Mecca. Solid scholarship over the past few decades has completely demolished the standard islamic narrative.

[charlesburgoyne-probyn]

A period which has been erased like pre Norman conquest England. Such as what religion was Mohamed brought up as before his visions led to a new creed . It was a place and period of turmoil with Christian Byzantine empire Vs Zoroastrian Persian empire and the Christian Ethiopian empire and the Jewish kingdom?of Yemen which had hardship caused by the collapse of the marib dam. I know he was born during what was known as the year of the 🐘 which refused to damage the 🕋

I wonder what the purpose was of the big tassels that hang down from the blankets throw over a camel's back.
