Talk:Hubal

message: I've added the reference to "Henryk Dobrzanski" which is usually known in Poland under his pseudonym, Hubal. I felt it should be not in see also, but before, so people searching for him would have easier time. However, i do not think he was important enough for making disambiguation page.

replies: text: Well, we would like you to see the article on Hubal in the Encyclopedia of Islam too. Read it first, then argue. We imagine the Encyclopedia of Islam will be a splendidly neutral source. Wetman 03:51, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  Encyclopedia of Islam is a non-Islamic scholarly source, so of cource it's splendidly neutral source. I would let you know if I find out what it says about Hubal OneGuy 04:03, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: Many historical facts are "offensive" to some cult or another. There is an Arabic Wikipedia for this kind of apologetic falsehood. --Wetman 19:43, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: The article was written by Wetman who apparently got all these claims (and he calls it "historical facts") from a Christian apologist site (see the external link section). The article claims positively that Hubal was a moon god. What's the source for that? Even if one source does say Hubal was moon god, this is still  disputed and contradicted by other sources. The article also contradicts itself by claiming in one place that Hubal and Allah are the same, but yet the battle of Uhud incidence contradicts that  OneGuy 22:46, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  For the record: before correction, this said: "According to Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar, Muhammad The Holy Prophet (1969), "About four hundred years before the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin Lahyo bin Harath bin Amr ul-Qais bin Thalaba bin Azd bin Khalan bin Babalyun bin Saba, a descendant of Qahtan and king of Hijaz, [more usually called Amr ibn Luhayy] had put an idol called Hubal or a moon or crescent on the roof of the Kaaba. This was one of the chief deities of the Quraish before Islam and the God of Muhammed's father Abdullah or servant of Allah of the Kaaba." false quotes in italics. - Mustafaa 23:02, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Ba`al has an Ayn consonant in the middle of its name, while Hubal (if the spelling used in this article is correct) doesn't.  That just about destroys the plausibility of the Ba`al etymology (unless you posit a borrowing from Akkadian Bel!).  Furthermore, this definite article thing would be a lot more plausible if there were a shadda over the ba. AnonMoos 05:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: How can Hubal be related to Ba`al??

message: I have removed teh following bizarre claim:
: One etymology of the Arabic word al-Lāh "God" identifies ilh as the term Jāhilī Arabs used for  images used in ancestral worship. With the advent of Islam, Hubal was elevated from the status of ilāh "ancestral spirit image" to al-Ilāh, meaning "God". (Natural language change caused this to be eclipsed as al-Lāh. ) (F._E._Peters, Muhammad and the Origins of Islam, "The Gods and the Shrine".)
because Google Books has the alleged source and does not have any book containing the words "ancestral spirit image".  The quote must therefore be fraudulent, or at best misunderstood. - Mustafaa 00:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it seriously suggested that the name "Hubal" is to be found in the Enuma Elish?  If so, source please? - Mustafaa 00:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Enuma elish?

message: If find this following statement very interesting. But it would be more hulpful to cite the source:
Arab Christians refered to God as Allah before the arrival of Islam.

thread_title: Allah to the pre-islamic christians and jews

message: The first couple of sentence in this section were remarkably biased, giving the impression that the author thereof looked to put forth a particular argument of his/her own to refute the claim. It did not acknowlege a counter argument, and took the one given to be a conclusive piece of evidene rather than an infered opinion. I have since editted it to  create neutrality

I removed "Cristian apologist" from the describtion of the american clergyman, as apologist is a deragotory term.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.61.253 (talk) 14:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it?  I think you may be misunderstanding the word.  Apologist doesn't mean "one who makes excuses [for something wrong or evil]".  It means "a person who argues in defense or justification of something, such as a doctrine, policy, or institution" (American Heritage, 4E).  It's one who makes an apologia, not one who makes an apology in the modern sense.  :)  Elmo iscariot (talk) 12:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hubal and Allah 

message: There is no info in the article regarding the relationship of Hubal and Anatolian mother-goddess Kybele, who was also symbolized as the Moon, anyone has any references about this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.54.242.37 (talk) 15:13, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hubal and Kybele 

message: This page is in serious need of a rewrite. Most of the text is based on spurious, unsourced and unlikely speculations formulated by Christian apologists such as Dunkin and, now, discarded theories from almost one hundred years before the present date that have been taken up by Christian Fundamentalists to try to fabricate evidence that the Arabs worshipped a "moon-deity" and that he is one and the same as "Al-ileh" or "Allah" (meaning "the god" and according to Arabic and Islamic mythology the creator deity), Sorry this article is a disgrace and doesn't conform to any of the standards Wikipedia claims and wishes to up hold.
This needs a rewrite using valid unbiased sources; especially works by actual, modern scholars of this subject. Sigurd Dragon Slayer (talk) 13:48, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: And now the tone has gone the other way, and the In modern culture section in particular, reads like an exercise in Islamic apologetics. Is an NPOV tone really too much to ask? In addition the word evangelical is being used here in the manner of the American popular press, who should read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism#Usage for the diverse meanings of the appellation. For instance Evangelical simply means Protestants in general to most Europeans. Remember that the english wikipedia is international, and words that cater solely to a local bias should be avoided.

thread_title:  Needs rewriting 

message: In a christian society, maybe the sheer irrationality of claiming "Allah is a moongod" is not visible? And even the most superficial reader will find verses against moon-worship, and verses that are similar to how the Bible decribes God. It is the same God. Allah is a shortened form of Al Ilah. Which means "The God", as we would use "The Lord" today. Anyone who knows idolatry knows it is about amoral values. The Quran is very moral, and very decent. And refutes idolatry. This indeed says more about the irrationality of these christians. In discussions with such christians I have made these verses clear to them, and they still go on claiming the same, without any interest in what the texts says, or rational thinking. Ofcourse the christians are just as irrational as the extreme sects they claim are muslims. Who are also behaving similary. Do note that arabic-speaking christians also use "Allah", and that El, (God) is used in the Bible aswell. Mika-El, using a suffix that means the same. The Arabic "Abd Allah" or "Abdullah", meaning "servant of God". What "Mika" means I am not going to claim for certain.
Peace Be With You.
:Frankly, these are people that misunderstand the meaning and purpose of their own faith most of the time. The only interest they have in Islam is a negative one; to cherry-pick a verse here and a verse there so as to create a caricature of Islam and Muslims that suits their own ends. The less time you waste thinking of them, the better, just don't think them typical of any group, Christians, American, et cetera. Peace be with you, as well.--172.129.21.223 (talk) 08:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
