Nebonidus (also spelled Nabonidus) was the last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, reigning from approximately 556 to 539 BCE. He is a significant historical figure for several reasons:
Key Aspects of Nebonidus:

    Reign: Nebonidus ascended to the throne after the reign of his son, Belshazzar, who is often mentioned in historical and biblical texts. His reign marked the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which fell to the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great.

    Religious Reforms: Nebonidus is known for his religious reforms, particularly his promotion of the moon god Sin (also known as Nanna) over the traditional Babylonian god Marduk. This shift caused tension with the priesthood of Marduk and the Babylonian populace, as Marduk was the chief deity of Babylon.

    Exile and Archaeological Significance: Nebonidus spent a significant portion of his reign in the Arabian desert, where he conducted archaeological and religious activities. His absence from Babylon during this time led to unrest and dissatisfaction among the people. He is often considered a precursor to the later Persian rulers who would also engage in religious and cultural reforms.

    Historical Records: Nebonidus is known from various inscriptions and archaeological findings, including the "Nabonidus Chronicle," which provides insights into his reign and the events leading to the fall of Babylon.

    Fall of Babylon: His reign ended when Babylon was conquered by Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE. Nebonidus was captured, and the transition to Persian rule marked a significant shift in the region's political and cultural landscape.

Nebonidus's reign is notable for its religious controversies and the eventual decline of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, making him an important figure in the history of ancient Mesopotamia.

The one true GOD only swear by "himself"?

The true God only swears by himself.
Remember, all of the Quran is supposed  to be, the God of the Bible, right?

Well, if he’s the God of the Bible, then the  God of the Bible does not swear by anything.

He only swears by himself.

For when God made a promise to Abraham,  because he could not swear by no one greater, He swore by himself.

God only swears by himself.

Surah 84:18.

A part of an evergreen song by All-4-One:

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
'Cause I stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes, I'll never break your heart

The five-pointed star is not an official symbol of Islam, but it is often associated with Islamic culture and art, particularly in certain regions and contexts. Here are some reasons why the five-pointed star may be used in Islamic symbolism:

    Cultural Significance: The five-pointed star has been used in various cultures and religions throughout history. In Islamic art and architecture, geometric shapes, including stars, are commonly used to create intricate designs and patterns.

    Representation of the Five Pillars: Some interpretations suggest that the five points of the star can symbolize the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the foundational acts of worship and practice for Muslims:
        Shahada (faith)
        Salah (prayer)
        Zakat (charity)
        Sawm (fasting during Ramadan)
        Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca)

    Connection to Nature: The star shape can also be seen as a representation of the natural world, with its points symbolizing the elements or directions, which are significant in various cultural and spiritual contexts.

    Historical Use: The five-pointed star has been used in various Islamic flags and emblems, particularly in the Ottoman Empire and in modern national flags of some Muslim-majority countries, such as Turkey and Algeria.

It's important to note that while the five-pointed star may be used in some Islamic contexts, it is not a universally recognized symbol of Islam like the crescent moon and star, which are more commonly associated with Islamic identity.
