Asili ya kipagani ya mungu wa Kiislamu
Sio siri kwa wale waliosoma historia na asili ya Uislamu kwamba Muhammad alizaliwa kwa kabila la kipagani lililoabudu miungu mingi ya kike na kiume, mkuu wao akiwa Allah. Kwa mfano, fasihi ya hadithi inasema kwamba wapagani walikuwa na sanamu 360 zilizowekwa kuzunguka Kaba ambazo Muhammad aliziharibu baadaye alipoiteka Makka:
Abdullah alisimulia:
Mtume alipoingia Makka siku ya Ushindi, kulikuwa na sanamu 360 kuzunguka Ka'ba. Mtume alianza kuzipiga kwa fimbo aliyokuwa nayo mkononi mwake na alikuwa akisema, "Ukweli umekuja na Uongo hautaanza wala hautatokea tena." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Juzuu ya 5, Kitabu cha 59, Nambari 583)
Kabila la kipagani la Muhammad liliamini zaidi kwamba mungu wao Allah alikuwa na angalau binti watatu ambao walimwabudu kama miungu ya kike. Majina ya binti za Allah yalikuwa Allat, al-Uzza na Manat.
Zaidi ya hayo, kulingana na vyanzo vya Kiislamu, jina la baba yake Muhammad lilikuwa Abdullah, ambalo linamaanisha "mtumwa wa Allah." Hata hivyo, licha ya jina lake kuwa "mtumwa wa Allah," baba yake Muhammad bado alienda kuzimu kulingana na Muhammad kwa kuwa alikuwa mpagani:

It is no secret to those who have studied the history and origins of Islam that Muhammad was born to a pagan tribe who worshiped a host of gods and goddesses, the chief of whom was Allah. For example, the hadith literature states that the pagans had 360 idols placed around the Kabah which Muhammad subsequently destroyed when he conquered Mecca:
Narrated Abdullah:
When the Prophet entered Mecca on the day of the Conquest, there were 360 idols around the Ka'ba. The Prophet started striking them with a stick he had in his hand and was saying, "Truth has come and Falsehood will neither start nor will it reappear.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 583)
Muhammad’s pagan tribe further believed that their god Allah had at least three daughters whom they worshiped as goddesses. The names of Allah’s daughters were Allat, al-Uzza and Manat.
Moreover, according to the Islamic sources Muhammad’s father’s name was Abdullah, which means “slave of Allah.” However, despite his name being “slave of Allah” Muhammad’s father still went to hell according to Muhammad since he was a pagan:
