"The Ka’ba, called ‘The House of God,’ is supposed to have been built by Abraham with the help of Ismael. It occupies the most sacred spot in the Mosque of Mecca. Incorporated in its wall is the stone here referred to, the famous Black Stone, which is obviously a relic of the idolatry of the pre-Islam Arabs."
St John of Damascus witnessed mohammedism within 40-50 yrs of big moe's death. Interesting rebuttals to the mohammedists. One could use them today!

Thanks for posting this. I read John of Damascus many years ago, and was very impressed. In fact I wrote a paper about this work, which if I could sift through my old files I could maybe find. John’s importance is difficult to overestimate.

His explanation of the contents of the Ka’ba is fascinating.
