About this listen
In this episode, we talk about the groundbreaking theory that Islam’s original holy city was not Mecca, but Petra. We cover archaeological data showing that early mosques from China to Egypt all pointed to Petra for the first 100 years of Islam. We explain how historical records, pre-Islamic pilgrimage routes, and early mosque architecture align with Petra, not Mecca. We unpack the timeline of the qibla change, the political conflict between the Umayyads and Abbasids, and how the Abbasid dynasty allegedly rewrote the origin story of Islam, including the Quranic mention of Mecca. We also examine the destruction of early Islamic texts, the manipulation of historical records, and the implications this has for over a billion Muslims today.
