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, (*) 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 al-Fitr.
