you will be more than shocked to know that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W ) never told that he has brought any new religion to the world. He only said he is completing the religious started by the previous messager's like Adam, Noah, Abrahim, Musa and jesus.

Good Observation that Muslim's Circumbulate around the holy Kaaba 7 times as part of there Hajj and Umrah rituals.

Again according to you it's an Hindu Tradition prevailed in indian subcontinent from more then 1000 yrs before the advent for Islam.

You are wright but not completedly

First it is not Hindu tradition neither there is any religion started as hinduisium it was always been Sanatan Dharma (Meaning rightous religion) In those days people staying in Indus valley were called hindus.

Sanatan Dharma was the same dharma which has been teached by all the prophets and Messangers in the past.

Secondly the Almight god that Muslims worship is non other than Bhraman which you symbolise as "OM" in every temple most of them visiting temple don't even know about it.

The Quran states that Ibrahim, together with his son Ishmael, raised the foundations of a house^{[Quran 2:127]} that is identified by most commentators as the Kaaba. Allah had shown Ibrahim the exact site by dropping the meteroide"Sangey Ashwet" ( the Black Stone) to the spot , very near to the Well of Zamzam, where Ibrahim and Ishmael began work on the Kaaba's construction in circa 2130 BC.^[39]

After the placing of the Black Stone in the Eastern corner of the Kaaba, Ibrahim received a revelation, in which Allah told the aged prophet that he should now go and proclaim the pilgrimage to mankind, so that men may come both from Arabia and from lands far away, on camel and on foot.^{[Quran 22:27]} Going by the dates attributed to the patriarchs.

So after Kaaba was erected by Abraham god himself advise him how to perform Hajj and that's when the Circumbulation to Kaaba started that's how people use to perform Hajj before the advent of Islam so it's not a new practise introduce by Muhammad (S.A.W) he continued that practise as advise by God.

According to Hindu mytology Brahman created the tri-shakti i:e Brahma (the creator) , Vishnu (the preserver) and Mahesh ( the destroyer).

But in reality he does not need to create any one as he himself is capable of performing those activities so i would say " Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh are actually three qualities of supreme god (Brahman the absolute reality) were he creates, preserve and will destroy everything in the end as he has mention about day of judgement in Quran and also inprevious books like Bible, Torah and P slam.

In Tamil Nadu Kabaalishwaran temple is Lord Shiva's temple and Kabaali refers to Lord Shiva. The black stone at Kaaba is held sacred and holy in Islam and is called "Hajre Aswad" from the Sanskrit word Sanghey Ashweta or Non-white stone. The Shiva Lingam is also called Sanghey Ashweta.

Muslims shave their head and beard and don special sacred attire that consists of two seamless sheets of white cloth. One is to be worn round the waist and the other over the shoulders. Both these rites are remnants of the old Vedic practice of entering Hindu temples clean and with holy seamless white sheets.

Abraham create Kaaba as the god's house and god himself set the rules and it's rituals for man kind including wearing of two seamless sheets of white cloth as Allah (Brahman the absolute reality) does not want any difference between any individual before him, God instructed pilgrims to shave there head after completing hajj and take it as a oath that they will not indulege in any kind of wrong doing from here after.

If Abraham create kaaba as a God's house and Mahesh ( the Lord Shiva ) is also a name of Allah ( Brahman the absolute reality) is also called Kaabali. "Hajre Aswad" is the stone Allah send to Ebrahim while contracting Kaaba, so you can call it Lord Shiva's Embelem.

The black Stone "Hajre Aswad" is also called Sanghey Ashwet by Muslim and you know it by Sanghey Ashweta as it's called in Sanskrit.

Important thing we do not Circumbulate Sanghey Ashweta we Circumbulate the Holy Kaaba built by Ebrahim and we use Sanghey Ashweta as the standing point from were the Circumbulation starts so we use it as a marker.

You in india Circumbulate the Shiv linga which is actually a replica of original shiv ling which we Called as Kaaba the only house of god Allah (The absolute Brahman)

Now let me tell you about the orgin of Zam Zam the actual Ganga on Earth,

Islamic history states that the Zamzam Well was revealed to Hagar (Hājar), the second wife of Abraham^[2] and mother of Ishmael.^[3] By the instruction of God, Abraham left his wife and son at a spot in the desert and walked away. She was desperately seeking water for her infant son, but she could not find any, as Mecca is located in a hot dry valley with few sources of water. Hagar ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwah, looking for water. Getting thirstier by the second, the infant Ishmael scraped the land with his feet, where suddenly water sprang out. There are other versions of the story involving God sending his angel,Gabriel (Jibra'il), who kicked the ground with his heel or wing(depending on which version of the story) and the water rose.^[4]

The name of the well comes from the phrase Zomë Zomë, meaning stop was a command repeated by Hagar during her attempt to contain the spring water.^[1]

^{So you know about a scared river associated with Shiva name Ganga as i have explained you the shiva being one of the name of Allah ( the absolute Brahman) has introduce a Zam Zam well which proper orgin is still unknow and this well has not dried even after 35000 yrs were as the Ganga that we know in India has a orgin which starts from the himalayas getting water source from ice of himalayas.}

So if you go through it properly with an open mind to understand the fact behind the religion we know you will understand that prophet Muhammad only purify the religion started by great saint of the time before him.

God can only be one and if there is only one god then the temple will also be one we called it Kaaba the place which god himself select for human to visit.

Thanks.
