said that Sabeans adopted various beliefs. Some believed that there
had always been a Creator who always created from the pre-eternal
Hyle.
Most Sabeans believed that the universe was created from nothing,
and ref erred to planets as angels whom they worshipped and
built shrines for. They claimed that the Ka'bah was one of these
shrines dedicated to planet Saturn.
Others claimed that Allah should only be assigned attributes of

As for their acts of worship, they claimed that they were to pray
three times a day. The first prayer consisted of eight units with
three prostrations in each unit. This prayer may be performed anytime
before sunrise. The second and third prayers each consist of five
units.
