Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC. In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah. This Hubal was a moon god. One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of every mosque throughout the world. The moon god was also referred to as al-ilah. This is not a proper name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning the god. Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local tribal pagan god as al-ilah. al-ilah was later shortened to Allah before Muhammad began promoting his new religion in 610 AD. Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the Arabs at the Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms. Regardless of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is derived from paganism that once worshiped a moon-god. Although Islam is today a monotheist religion, its roots are in paganism. There are remnants of pagan moon god worship in the Koran where we have examples of Muslims swearing by the moon. Here is one example: I swear by the moon, And the night when it departs, And the daybreak when it shines; Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes) (Koran 74:32) bible.ca/islam/islam-moon-god.htm So, Islams origins come from Muhammad adapting polytheism to monotheism, and calling Gods name Allah after the name of the moon god, whose cresent moon is a draw back to Islams pagan linkage. Islam is a mixture of this paganism, Christianity, and Judaism. And the Quran is a hodgepodge invented out of these adaptations.
