Quiz 140 – How many idols were in the Ka’abah before Islam?

Correct Answer is :

B) 360

Description:

Before the birth of Prophet ﷺ, the Ka’bah, which was originally built by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his son Isma’il (A.S.) as a place of Tawheed (monotheistic) worship, became filled with 360 idols. Over time, the people of Makkah and surrounding tribes introduced their own idols, each representing different deities.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, upon the conquest of Makkah, purified the Ka’bah by destroying these idols, returning it to its original purpose as a house of worship dedicated to the One true God, Allah. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1342)
