Aadhi Saivam in Ancient Arabia

It looks old and definitely from Arabic literature.

Now, remove the letters. What remains is a pictorial representation of Siva Lingam!!

The square represents the Brahmabaagam - Creation. The diamond square among with the regular square represents the Vishnubaagam - Sustenance. The outer circle represents the Rudhrabaagam - Destruction. The inner circle represents the Bindhu - Seed.

Don't know what the square along with 2 ways inside the Bindhu mean.

There is enough evidence to prove that pre-Islamic tribes were followers of Aadhi Saivam. Islamic Prophet Muhammad himself was a priest at The Kaba (garbha?), which housed about 360 idols including a central figure of a Man with Crescent Moon on His head (😉 - Lord Chandrasekharan - Lord Siva), in his younger days.

🌸 Basic definition of the word Lingam is "Mark"
🌹 Siva Lingam means Mark of Sivan
🍀 Sivan is one who has attained the state of Siva. In other words, a Jnaani.
🍁 A Siva Lingam represents the place where a Jnaani's body is buried. In other words, a Samaadhi of a Jnaani. (Not all Lingams are Siva Lingams. Before the advent of idols, Lingams were used to represent everything - Jnaani, Basic elements, Planets, Stars, etc.)
🌺 All ancient Siva Lingams (ie. ancient Samaadhi Lingams) don't have the usual cylindrical shape we have come to associate with Lingams. This is because our ancestors placed them there to let us know about Samaadhis.
🌼 Later, after they learned to destroy Mother Nature (ie. sculpture making 😉), they placed cylindrical shaped Lingams. In addition to marking the Samaadhis, now they conveyed one more grand truth - Universe! Samaadhi means merging with the Universe!! Entire Universe, both the seen and unseen, is God!!! And, the shape of the universe (seen objects) is in the form of Lingam (the seeable part)!!!!

Now, there was a Lingam at the center of the Kaaba, which is still there on the eastern corner wall of the Kaaba held together by silver strings & nails. Since It's been touched by crores and crores of pilgrimagers all these years, It has lost Its original shape. It's impossible to predict Its age. But, what is possible to predict is Kaaba is a Samaadhi of a Jnaani!!!!

Om Namah Shivaya!!
