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 (15[1])it, Surah 54. The temporary destruction of this (-5[1])place prompted a Tamil king to (15[1])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 (-5[1])a god of this (-5[1])place. The sighting of this entity begins Eid al-Fitr. This symbol (-5[1])and a star appear on the flags of Pakistan and Turkey. (10[1])The (10[1])Islamic calendar, for 10 points, is (10[1])determined by what celestial (10[1])body’s phases? (10[1])■END■
