Mohammed was exposed to several different faiths in the Arabian peninsula, and each of them contributed something to Islam. From Judaism, he took the concept of monotheism, from Christianity the concepts of heaven and forgiveness, from Zoroastrianism fasting and multiple daily prayers, from the Pagans, the holy shrine of the Kaaba (possibly constructed by the Hindus) and the veneration of the Moon from the cult of Sin, the Mesopotamian Moongod.
