Dr. Maalouf ‏(@realMaalouf):Did you know? In the early years of Islam, Muslims performed the pilgrimage to Mecca completely naked. This practice was originally a pagan ritual performed in several cities across the Arabian Peninsula before Muhammad. Each city had its own Kaaba to honor the Arabian gods. Muslims eventually destroyed all of them, and kept only the one in Mecca, claiming it was built by Abraham.
