This thread is garbage, it clearly displays the ignorance of the author in the history of Arabia, and the influence of the Abrahamic religion on the Arabs.
No that just displayed your ignornance.

The paganism of Arabia was merely a corruption that occurred over 2500 years from the original monotheistic tradition handed down to the Arabs by Abraham.
Nice tale but again incorrect.

Without written texts to maintain the orthodoxy of ono theism, the Arabs mostly deviated to paganism over the millennia.

Moses ordered his followers to fast, and even today many Jews and Christians practice some sort of fasting.
Quote:The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
26 The Lord said to Moses, 27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the Lord...29 Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.
- Leviticus 23
Quote:A ta'anit or taanis (in Ashkenaz pronunciation) or taʿanith in Classical Hebrew is a fast in Judaism in which one abstains from all food and drink, including water.

For Catholics Christians, Lent is the major season of fasting, imitative of the forty-day fast of Jesus (peace be upon him).
In the fourth century it was observed as six weeks of fasting before Easter or before Holy Week. It was adjusted to forty days of actual fasting in most places in the seventh century
The Bible says Jesus fasted:
Quote:Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
- Matthew 4:1-2
Quote:Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant--the Ten Commandments.
- Exodus 34:28
So What.
The original post was still correct.
