“The name Allah, as the Qur'an itself is witness, was
well known in pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and
its feminine form, Allat, are found not infrequently
among the theophorous names in inscriptions from
North Africa.” (Arthur Jeffrey, ed., Islam: Muhammad
and His Religion (1958), p. 85.)
The literal name of Mohammed's father in Arabic is
Abd Allah. His uncle's name Obred Allah. These names
show the devotion of Mohammed's families pagan
roots, and also prove that Allah was part of a
polytheistic system of worship before Allah was made
the supreme and only god from the other God's. This
should be proof to the pre- Islamic root of the name of
Allah to the Muslim. Remember they were pagans who
used this name. He kept his family name above all the
other names. Mohammad had good intentions in
removing the people from their polytheistic worship
however he did not go far enough in his reform.
Mecca was the place where the idol Allah was located,
so the people would face in that direction when they
prayed. Prior to Islam the people would pray 5 times a
day facing Mecca (The Encyclopedia of Islam p.303)
Prior to Islam's beginning each Arab tribe used Allah to
refer to its own particular high god. This is why Hubal,
the Moon god, (known by other names) was the central
focus of prayer at the Kaabah and people prayed to
Hubal and they used the name Allah. The crescent
moon was the symbol of the moon God Allah (Hubal)
and is still used as a symbol of Islam today (although
they have changed the meaning to be -from Mecca to
the moon Islam will spread). Today there is hardly a
Muslim that knows its ancient origin. History records it
as an ancient pagan fertility symbol that is found
throughout the Middle East. Mohammed smashed all
the idols that led the people into idolatry but the black
stone was kept which Muslims continue to kiss today.
This was another practice that preceded Mohammad.
Mohammed made Allah into a single being who, unlike
the Bible's God who is called Father, has no Son.
Because of this portrayal, there is no fellowship or love
among the godhead before God created man. Creation
and man therefore become a necessity for God to
express His attributes or characteristic's. This God has
never revealed Himself to man but revealed only His
will. This God is so removed from man that it is
impossible to know him in a personal way, he relates
to man only through his will and law. It is a religion of
obedience no different than any other.

To the Muslim God is strictly singular, all seeing, all
hearing, almighty, He is the first and the last. But what
differs is that he has no Son and he cannot be called
Father who relates to His son in a unique way (Son
and Father does not mean offspring in historic
Christianity).
Of the 99 names of God in Islam, not one is “Father” or
has a personal connotation. The difference is not to be
overlooked. The God of the Bible is personal and wants
an ongoing friendship with each of us. Islam portrays
God as one who expects us to do our religious duty or
He angers. There are rules to be obeyed and one can
only please him but not know him personally. No
Muslim would ever consider being able to have a
personal relationship with him, by talking to him, and
loving him. Jesus instead taught Christians to pray “our
Father in heaven” (Matthew 6:9). Throughout the Old
Testament God was real to the prophets who had him
personally speak to them and they to him. “ Have we
not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why do
we deal treacherously with one another by profaning the
covenant of the fathers? ” (Mal 2:10)
In Islam some state that if one memorizes the 99 names
of Allah and repeats them he will get into paradise
because they give the believer power, making them
conscious of God. Neither the Koran nor the Hadith
speak of these names in such a way. The Suras in the
Koran begin with “ In the name of Allah, most gracious,
most merciful. Yet in practice Islam's god is portrayed
as stern, harsh, having compassion on those who do
right and deals severely with those who do not.
To a Muslim the God of the Bible who is described as
triune is offensive and pagan, reminding them of what
Mohammed destroyed. This is recorded in their Qu'ran.
They interpret this as 3 separate Gods and not a unified
one. “ T hey are unbelievers who say God is a third of
three. No God is there but one God. ” While Muslims
affirm Jesus' virgin conception, they deny He had any
pre-existence that would imply He is God. To call a
prophet God is the ultimate in blasphemy to them. “
V erily God will not forgive the union of other gods with
himself .” This is a true statement; however if Jesus is
who He said He is, the true God, then it is they who
are in union with another than the true God.

Muslims claim that the name Allah can be found in the
Bible. This is no different than what the Jehovah's
Witnesses do for the name Jehovah. Allah is not called
Yahweh once in the Koran but neither is Yahweh
called Allah in the Bible. So they can't be the same
God. Neither is the word Elohim which is applied to
Yahweh over 2,500 times in the Bible used in the
Koran. Neither is he called I Am, which He said to
Moses would be His name forever.
The God of the Bible identifies himself as the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacobs name is later
changed to the name Israel, being the father of the 12
tribes of Israel. The God of the Bible calls Jerusalem the
city of David and that the Messiah would descend from
his lineage. Neither does the God of the Bible does not
mention Mecca or Medina but instead Jerusalem 800
times. Yet Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran,
which the Muslim claims as there own.
The God in the Bible is called the God of the Jews, an
impossibility with Allah. They are called his chosen
people, but they are not Allah's chosen. Allah
commands the Muslim to not take the Jews or
Christians as friends, Sura.5:51 disdains the Jews.
Mohammed said, “The last hour will not come before
the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill
them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721,
810-11, 1130). So how could Israel inherit the land or
any of God's promises from Allah, if he is their God.
Clearly he is not the same God of the Bible.
Muslims trying to prove their position from the Bible
point to the Old Testament with the word alleluyah,
interpreting the first portion of the word alle as Allah.
The word [H]alleluyah is not a compound Hebrew
word. It is not two words but a singular word meaning
praise to Yahweh. (alle- praise, lu-to, yah-Yaweh). The
beginning of the word is Hallel meaning praise. This
has nothing to do with an Allah, and the last syllable of
the word is a reference to Yahweh the God of the Bible,
this is hardly any evidence for their assertions. They
are also confusing Aramaic with Arabic. This is not
unusual, as Muslims will often take words and
meanings set in another language and culture and
adopt them for proof of their own book or religion.
This word play only gets more ludicrous as they try to
have Jesus saying the name of their God. When Jesus
was on the cross they claim when he cried out Eli, Eli it
was really is Allah, Allah. The New Testament was
written in Greek, however it points us to him speaking
the Aramaic language, not Arabic. Jesus was quoting
Psalm 22:1 which read in full says, Eli, Eli Sabbathani
“My God, My God why have you forsaken me.” What
makes even less sense for this position is the fact that
they don't believe that it was Jesus on the cross in the
first place, but that another took His place. Some think
it was Judas; so it was Judas crying out Allah, Allah?
The first Arabic translation of the Bible was made
about the 9th century. Nowhere is the name of Allah
found in the Old or New Testament. When Islam
became the dominant political force people were
coerced to use the name Allah for God or suffer the
consequences from the hands of militant Muslims.
Because of Islam's dominance Allah became the
common name of God. The translators of the Bible gave
in to the religious pressures and substituted Allah for
Yahweh in the Arabic Bibles, but this is not the name
of the God of the Hebrews, nor of the creator who
made heaven and earth because of its source in
paganism. His nature and attributes have only a few
basic similarities and many more differences. And the
most important point is that all through the Qu'ran it
says Allah has no son.

... argue what? copy and paste...hell no, i dont even bother to read that gibberish

Why dont you tell robot tofax to answer all those questions you and pope were unable to answer?

Islam is a divine fraud, a misrepresentation of Holy God, Israel prophets began to introduce to the world. Some will claim Abraham was not an Israelite, before Moses' writing, - an Israelite - no record in Islamic world linked Allah and Ibrahim (Abraham).

Allah is a strange god such that if Abraham should wake up now, he would deny any interaction with such a name or being. The heinous crimes now committed in the name of Allah all over the world, all over the ages shows that Allah is not God of Israel. In fact, I put it to any Muslims, is your god JEHOVAH of the Bible? Can you mention the name Jehovah in your prayers?

However, I wouldn't' know if Allah lives in the moon or he is a moon god.

You guys don't know anything about Hebrew and Arabic.Elohim is the Hebrew for God.But Ilah is the Arabic for God.Mohammed combined the phrase All meaning the,and ilah meaning God that is Al-Ilah.This modified to Allah meaning the God.The,is a definite article therefore allah is the God of Mecca.

why do Muslims bother indulging these ppl.they believe what they choose to believe .theybelieve they r the most intelligent of 7billion people.so opinions and beliefs of odas is rubbish.only Theirs count.biko carry on.we serve moon god.has that increased ur bank acct
p.s. I'm a Muslim n my family n i serve the creator.u don't tell me who I serve do u ...i speak for myself n ive pledged my allegiance.rest is to God.fck what u think...speak for unaself maybe y'all worship moongod whatever d FCK that is.oh I forgot.u worship Mary's son

It is worth noting that the crescent moon symbol started appearing in mosques after the time of the prophet (pbuh) and such practices are discouraged by most scholars. The crescent moon symbol appeared during the 15th century, it was used by the Ottoman Empire. The prophet (pbuh) and muslims after him used solid colored flags with no symbol, so The crescent moon is not a symbol of islam as far as I'm concerned.

Yet ur mosque uses it

Some mosques use it, mine doesn't. Like I said, I do not follow the practices of the Ottoman Empire, something that emerged centuries after the prophet (pbuh) died.
