YOU ARE LYING.
"When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) returned to his people, he informed them of the great Signs which his Lord had showed him, and they vigorously belied and maligned him.
Abu Jahl, the enemy of Allah passed by him, and on seeing him, came and sat before him, and asked him mockingly:
"Has anything happened?"
He (ﷺ) replied: "Yes."
Abu Jahl asked: "And what is that?"
He (ﷺ) replied: "I was taken on a journey by night."
He asked: "To where?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) answered:
"To Bayt Al-Maqsid [Jerusalem]."
Abu Jahl said: "Then in the morning you appeared amongst us?"
He (ﷺ) replied: "Yes."
Abu Jahl did not betray to him that he disbelieved his words, for he was fearful that if he did so, the Prophet (ﷺ) would deny having said it, if he called his people to hear him.
So he said: "If I call your people, will you tell them what you have told me?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yes."
Then Abu Jahl called out:
"O people of Banu Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy!"
Those sitting around the Ka'bah came over and sat before the two of them.
Then he said: "Tell your people what you told me."
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"I was taken on a journey last night."
They asked: "To where?"
He replied: "To Bayt Al-Maqdis."
They said: "Then in the morning you appeared amongst us?"
He said: "Yes."
The Quraish were stunned and clapped their hands to their foreheads in amazement.
Al-Mut'im ibn 'Adiyy said:
"Everything you have said has been perfect [i.e. believable] except [this] saying of yours.
I testify that you are a liar.
It takes us a month to go by camel to Bayt Al-Maqdis, and a month to return, yet you claim that you went there in one night!
By Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza, I do not believe you!"
Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhu) said:
"O Mut'im! What a wretched thing you have said to your nephew!
You have opposed him and belied him. I bear witness that he is truthful."
They said: "O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Describe Bayt Al-Maqdis to us.
What is the building like? What is its shape? What are the surrounding mountains like?
Describe to us the people who are travelling there."
So he (ﷺ) began to describe it to them, saying:
"The building is such-and-such, its shape is such-and-such, the mountains around it are such-and-such..."
And he (ﷺ) continued to describe it to them until the description became unclear to him and he became in a manner unlike any had experienced before.
They asked him: "How many doors does it have?"
He had not counted them, so he looked at them and counted them one after another, then informed them [how many there were].
Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhu) said:
"You have spoken the truth. I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah."
The people said: "As for your description, by Allah, it is correct."
Then they said to Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhu):
"So do you believe his claim that he went to Bayt Al-Maqdis and came back before the morning?"
He said: "Yes, I believe [what seems] even more improbable than that from him.
I believe that he (ﷺ) receives information from the heaven when he (ﷺ) is coming and going [about the daily affairs of his life]."
For this reason, he (ﷺ) was known as "As-Siddiq" [the Truthful].
Then they said: "O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Inform us about our caravan."
So he (ﷺ) informed them about it, about its outward journey and its return, and he (ﷺ) informed them about the time of its arrival and about the camel which was leading it.
And it later transpired that the matter was just as he had said.
When they came to know this, they accused him of magic and said:
"Al-Waleed has spoken the truth."
So it did naught but increase them in obstinacy, and the wrongdoers refused [the truth and accepted naught] but to disbelieve."

@dextarwilliams4818 You should know that the Arabs before falling into paganism were followers the Monotheistic Religion of Abraham, AND LATER ON when they fell into paganism they kept those idols [which were brought to them] and called upon Allah along with them and attributing those idols to Him.
Ibn Ishaq said:
"It is claimed that the first worship of stone that occurred among the people of Ishmael (alayhi salaam) was that a person would not depart from Makkah until it became burdensome to him.
Then they would seek the open spaces abroad.
None of them would set out without taking with him a stone from among the stones of the Sacred Precincts which he would venerate.
Whenever he camped, he would circumambulate the stone in the same manner in which he would circumambulate the Ka'bah.
Eventually, this led them to worship these stones which they deemed good, and which impressed them.
Then, as generations passed, they forgot the Religion of Abraham and Ishmael which they used to follow, and replace it with another - the worship of idols - returning thereby to the misguidance of those who came before them.
In spite of this, there remain in them some vestiges of the Religion of Abraham (alayhi salaam) to which they adhered, such as veneration of the House of Allah and circumambulation of it, Hajj, 'Umrah, staying at 'Arafah and Muzdalifah, sacrificing a camel and making the Talbiyyah for Hajj or 'Umrah - along with the innovations they added to it."

@ewazizemska781 The Old Testament accused the Creator of loosing a wrestling match against Prophet Ya'qub (alayhi salaam) in [Genesis 32:24-30].
24. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
25. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.
26. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27. The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29. Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.” [Genesis 32:24-30]

The "Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Bible Commentary" makes the excuse that Jacob saw an opportunity to squeeze a blessing out of God and took advantage of God's vulnerability. [JFB commentary on Genesis 32:26]
According to the Bible, he SQUEEZED A BLESSING OUT OF GOD, so he put a condition against God to let him go.
