What did Muhammad worship before receiving God’s revelations at the age of 40? This seems like a simple question with a simple answer so let’s look at what is known and do not stray away from the question. This is about … What did Muhammad worship before receiving God’s revelations at the age of 40?

Muhammad was born in Makkah in 570 CE. His father died before his birth. As an infant, Muhammad was put in the care if a Bedouin wet nurse to be brought up by her in the healthy atmosphere of the desert. At the age of five, Muhammad returned to the care of his mother, Aminah bint Wahb, but she died a year later. Muhammad then went to live with his paternal grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib. Abdul-Muttalib died when Muhammad was eight, and the boy was then brought up by his uncle Abu Talib. At the age of twelve, Muhammad accompanied his uncle in a merchant’s caravan to Syria.

1. Muhammad was a member of the Quraish tribe.
2. Quraish tribe worshipped the Kaaba (not God/Allah).
3. All of his family was part of the Quraish tribe.

  • So did Muhammad worship the Kaaba as his family did from birth to the age 40? Most if not all worship what their parents do at least when they are young.
  • Did Muhammad not believe in any gods … atheist?
  • Did he believe in a higher being of some kind like Jack … agnostic?
  • Or something else?
  • If you can shed any light to these questions please feel free to do so. We know what he worshiped after Islam was …
