what was the name of the chief deity at the kaaba when mohammad captured mecca?
after mohammad captured mecca. he distoryed all of the 360 gods that had been worshiped there for thousands of years. so what was the name of the main deity being worshiped there and what were the customs of the Meccan moon god?
Hubal was the name, actually, though he was also known as al Lah or the God and the Kaaba was known as Bait’ullah or the House of the God.
It housed the idols of al Lah, al Lat, al Uzza, and al Mannat.
The name of the main deity was Hubal, but, he was better known as al Lah.
The customs of the Cult of the bani al Quraish tribe, who were the Keepers of the Kaaba, to which tribe Mohammad bin Abd’allah al Muttailib al Hashim al Quraish , also belonged and he used to worship this God before he changed and became the Prophet.
The custom of the Tawaf, or walking widdershins, or the witches walk, or walking anti clockwise around the Kaaba was the custom from that Cult, like the practice of kissing the Kaaba Stone, aka al hajarul aswad, and the mandatory Pilgrimage of the Haj, which is named after the meteoric rock which was believed to be the Sign from the Heavens, are all customs that Mohammad brought in to his Islam from his earlier Pagan roots.
Each and every one of these facts are verifiable and are from the details contained in the Sahih Hadiths and Tafsirs of Islam.

Allah means "THE God"
So the Pagan Meccans worshiped "THE God" incorrectly
The muslims worship "THE God" correctly.
