Why Samaritan Jews agreed with Islam that Mecca was sacred

According to Samaritan Jews in their sacred book Asatir ( the secrets of Moses ) , Mecca city was built by Ishmael and his older Son Nebaioth , while The Kaaba according to them was built by Abraham when he traveled to the land of Paran

Paran according to Genesis 21:21 is the land of Ishmael

Genesis 21:21 ( Ishmael lived in Paran )

Paran in the bible according to Samaritan is Mecca

Samaritan Asatir :

Chapter VIII-Birth of Mose . 1. And after the death of Abraham, Ishmael reigned twenty seven years 2. And all the children of Nebaot ruled for one year in the lifetime of Ishmael, 3. And for thirty years after his death from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates; and they built Mecca.

I heard many say that Samaritans Jews believe in prophet Muhammad as a prophet for Arabs only not for them

If they believe Paran is Mecca

I wonder if they believe the holy one who will appear from Paran was in fact prophet Muhammad

Habakkuk 3 3 ( God came from Teman , and the holy one will appear from Paran, Selah his Glory reached the heavens )

Deuteronomy 33:2 (

King James Bible

And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them)

Islamic interpretation.say ten thousands saints were when prophet Muhammad opened Mecca with his 10.000 Sahabi ( companions )

I don’t know if the Samaritans interpret it in the same way
