When the Prophet Muhammad was appointed as the Messenger (Rasul), and moved to the city of Medina, Ka'ba environment full of sculpture as the embodiment of God of the Arabs when the darkness of thought (jahilliyah). The teachings of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Moses to not worship objects or living things, not adhered to the Arab nation at that time.
