Remember the red ring we keep seeing?
I saw it IRL today and asked the name of the stone.
It's Aqeeq stone
Very close to the name of a animal sacrifice performed at the birth of a child, in the Islamic religion
"Aqeeqa" (alt spelling , see picrel)
It's said they use goats, one or two depending on gender of child born.
Girl child only deserves one goat.
Think of this.
Didn't Abraham substitute a goat when "God" demanded a child sacrifice of first son?
And angel intervened?
Where was Abraham born?
It's disputed, but if you look into it you'll find it was likely present day Turkey and not Syria.
Urfa.
originally called Udessa.
" Urfa, the locals don’t just claim Abraham’s birthplace as a dusty old tale—they live it. The Cave of Abraham, tucked in the Mevlid-i Halil Mosque complex, isn’t some tourist trap cooked up recently; it’s a pilgrimage site where Muslims, Christians, and Jews have been showing up for centuries. The story goes that Abraham’s mom hid him there from Nimrod, who wanted all newborns dead after a prophecy. Then there’s Balıklıgöl, the Pool of Sacred Fish, where they say God turned Nimrod’s fire into water and logs into carp when he tried to burn Abraham. These aren’t abstract myths—people feed those fish today, believing they’re holy descendants of that miracle. The vibe’s tangible: families, pilgrims, kids tossing crumbs, all keeping it alive."
Şanlıurfa (Urfa), south of the Black Sea region, where local tradition strongly claims Abraham was born. It’s about 25 miles north of Harran, southeast of Turkey’s Black Sea coast
