[HUBAL HAD THE CRESCENT AS ITS SYMBOL]
Which is used by muslims usually but historically speaking it was something that was popularized by turks.
Which I don't think so because
verse 37 of Sura Fussilat: "Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Allah, who created them." says this in the quran
Also why does moon sighting is of so importance in islam you can't celebrate eid because you cannot see the moon a night prior. Is allah Muhammad's tribal moon deity or this is a kafir/infidel psyop?
It is very likely that the Mecca-Medina region was host to a very strong Moon cult before Islam. For example, in the middle of the 1st millenium BC., the Oasis of Tayma (just north of Medina) was one of the 3 major centres of Moon worship in the Middle East, along with Ur in Iraq and Harran in Syria. In 552 BC, Nabonidus, last king of Babylon and son of the High Priestess of the Moon God in Harran, took up residence in Tayma for about a decade. During this period, it seems he attempted to reform Babylonian religion into a quasi-monotheistic cult of the Moon God. It is unclear what relationship this event had with the later rise of Islam, if any, but it suggests a connection of some sort.
So, in any case, there are very good reasons to believe that there were a lot of worshippers of the Moon in Western Arabia up until the appearance of Islam. Also, Allah, in Arabic means "the God" and in seems that, in pagan times, it was often used to call the main god of any given place, which would have been the Moon God in certain places, the Sun God in others, Haddad in Lebanon, or even Yahweh among the Jews. What is likely is that this word was used in early Islamic times to blur the border between paganism and the new religion, so that pagan worshipers could continue to address the deity in the way they were accustomed to. In the Medina-Mecca-Tayma region, it would have been the old Moon God and, because of the centrality of this region in later Islamic history, many attributes of the Moon cult were retained, including the crescent symbol and the Moon-based calendar.
This kind of assimilation of Pagan elements into monotheistic religions also happened in Christianity, with for example, the "day of the Lord" (
Dominus Dei in Latin) being called "Sunday", i.e. "the day of the Sun God" in all the Germanic world (
Sontag in German). There are many other examples.
The comparison of the permeability between paganism and monotheism in early Islamic times with the rigorous monotheism of the Quranic verse quoted above shows that, as is many other areas, theory and practice often differ.
