John went to and had visions on the island of Patmos, supposedly known for its abundance of psychedelic mushrooms. See also Jakub, whose stories are referenced by the “Nation of Islam.”

Yakub has nothing to do with the Bible though?

It’s just another anecdote of wild “visions” being had on that specific island.

Om the guy who came up with Yakub never went to Greece. It’s bullshit like most of the Nation of Islam’s claims about the origins of things.
