Muhammed addresses concerns about Islamic pilgrimage practices by establishing foundational principles: if the Quran is from God and Muhammad is His messenger, then we cannot argue against divinely revealed commands.

The practices aren't pagan in origin just because pagans later performed them—they trace back to Abraham's teachings, which were corrupted only later when Amr ibn Luhayr introduced idol worship to the Arabian Peninsula.
