Question

Al-Bara’ ibn Malik compared this place to Muhammad’s face in one hadith. A miracle concerning this location is dismissed as “transient magic” in a text named for it, Surah 54. The temporary destruction of this place prompted a Tamil king to convert. A god of this domain has one golden hand, and arrows were thrown in front him for divination; that god, (10[1])(*) Hubal, was depicted as the most important idol in the Kaaba. Robert Morey and Pat Robertson argued that Allah is merely a god of this place. The sighting of this entity begins Eid (10[1]-5[1])al-Fitr. (10[1])This symbol and a star appear on the (10[1])flags of (10[1])Pakistan and Turkey. The Islamic calendar, for 10 points, is determined by what celestial body’s phases? (10[1])■END■
