I agree with your first point that Muhammad continued many of the pre-Islamic practices followed by his contemporaries. What I would argue, however, is that Muhammad was more interesting in establishing a political and economic kingdom than in giving "a new and true spirit to the same practices followed from heavinly religions."Quotable Quotes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10875865758846571469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385205961037530446.post-50476860229293110062012-01-02T01:26:56.343-05:002012-01-02T01:26:56.343-05:00The overall emphasis of the writer has been on pra...The overall emphasis of the writer has been on practices followed in days before Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) started preaching openly to Arabs, and also assuming that everything that was done at that time was incorrect which to me seems to be the major issue in this arcticle. I have just two general points to make here<br />1) Not everything that was done pre Prophet PBUH was overridden by Islam as some of the practices were being followed from Ibrahimic relegion which were also from the same God so Prophet's teaching did not have to be in total contrast to them.<br />2) Prophet PBUH gave a new and true spirit to the same practices followed from heavinly religionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
