There were several
    religious practices in Mecca before Muhammed and the start of Islam. For example, some people
    followed a polytheistic religion. Arab polytheism involved worshipping deities such as Hubal at
    the Kaaba in Mecca. The Kaaba, a granite cube that is Islam's holiest site, was, in the time
    before Muhammed, the location of hundreds of idols, according to some historians. 
In addition, various forms of Christianity were practiced in Mecca,
    including Miaphysitism (which maintains that Jesus Christ, humanity, and God are one), and its
    rival sect of Christianity, Nestorianism (which maintains that there is a separation between the
    human and divine forms of Jesus Christ). Judaism was also practiced in the region, as Jews had
    migrated to the area since the Roman era, as was Zoroastrianism, the religion practiced in Iran
    before Islam.
