Yeah I accept he was a Muslim, Will ou also accept that he never prayed 5 times in a day and he offered sacrifice to his God... If that’s the truth, then it’s logical that his Islam was different from ours... Why is the Islam of adam different from ours of today.

Al istislamu li Awamiri llah(Islam is the total submission to the will of Allah) why was it different



Technically, Islam is not different. 5 times daily prayer was given to the last Prophet. Adam has his own ways of worshiping Allah as well as other Prophets. They all believed in Allah and never joined partners to Him in worship.

God Almighty, the creator of Allah, does not have pleasure in worship, rather, it has pleasure in science, which is the only method that can explore the nature of Existence. Islam is just a personal philosophy of Allah who existed some years back, died and is being worshipped today. Go and read the Book of Universal History, there it is recorded how Allah began and how he died and hoe his philosophy was propagated by Moh Ahmad and his mates who killed thousands of people to establish this philosophy.

How does it distinguish you when others also use the same terminology? Like I am out on the streets of Paris and some people keep repeating 'Allah' in their conversation, won't it be silly to assume that they are Muslims instead of an Arab?

I don't need Arabic to understand basics that God is Allah or vice versa. Perhaps, you will need more than Arabic knowledge to understand that you don't get to tell others especially natives that they shouldn't be using a word because you want it to be yours. I guess non-muslim Arabs don't understand their mother tongue too, why don't you go and explain it to them?

You haven't been convincing, the whole you don't understand Arabic is cheap but it will not fly.

Rashduct4luv:


Anyways. I am a Yoruba too and i stand on the fact that Allah is the appropriate name for the one true God worthy of worship by all Mankind and Jinn.
Oluwa/Olohun as i said can be used in discussions with beginners to clarify and expatiate things. Yorubas too have the concept of Olorun/Olohun/Oluwa/Olodumare before. And if we go in to the linguistic meaning of this translations for God we may be discussing Kufr.

But what the Muslim should use in his worship, his du‘aa’ (supplication) and all other circumstances when referring to Allah, may He be exalted and glorified, is the word “Allah” as it is, because that has become a symbol for the Muslims and something that distinguishes them, and it helps to avoid any confusion between what they mean and what others mean when they say “God”, as others may sometimes be referring to Allah, but sometimes they may be referring to something else.

Everything that you have mentioned above applies to one who does not have a good knowledge of Arabic; as for the one who has a good knowledge of Arabic, it is permissible for him to use the translated words in order to explain Islam and help others to understand it. But when offering du‘aa’ or swearing oaths, he has to avoid doing that with words other than the known Arabic words for the divine names and attributes, as they are confirmed in the Qur’aan and Sunnah.

And Allah knows best.

That means if I worship the way he(Adam) did by only showing compassion to the beings around me, I have practiced Islam. Meaning if I seek to see Allah like Musa and Abraham did, I’m still on the right path ... So this is the real explanation of an atheist. They seek to see Allah by the way of Adam, Abraham and many other prophets. Your holy book recorded that they saw Allah. As I seek to see Him let him show himself. I can’t be brainwashed to know him.


Walahu Ahlam. If this statement is true as believed, let him show himself to atheists. I will not want to worship a partial God who made some people Christians by being born into a Christian family and some Muslims by being born a Muslim and you are here claiming only Muslim will be going to ur envisaged Paradise.

you are almost correct. El is a title, it can be ascribed to angels as well as God, it is not a name. Jehova is a title to, means Lord.

the God of israel is definitely not the Canaanite gods.

the Canaanite gods were worshipped through sexual perversions, immorality and burning of babies. if Israel's God and Canaanites god are the same, israel wouldn't have spelt out fornication and murder as sins...get it? good.

the name of God is Jesus
So the Israelites God is not a murderer and Immoral?

From above you said Ismail and his mother mixed with Hebrew with what tribe?

And what about the thought that the word Allah is derived by contraction from al-ilāh which means "the God".
Anyways. No point arguing Allah is the one true creator of everything. He is without son, partner or helper.

I can't say what tribe they mixed with but there's no argument that they did.

good, al-ilah means the God, just like el-oah(ilah sounds like eloah).

God doesn't have partners nor helper. He showed all the prophets that he was coming in the likeness of a man, Jesus. All the scriptures testify of Jesus. He's not a partner of God, He is God in human flesh that came to save mankind. that's why the ignorant Jews accused Jesus of blasphemy, because He was telling them He is God

One person or seven people did not defeat millions of people. It was a movement beginning from Moh Ahmad, then gradually, he began to have supporters. Then like groups of terrorists, they continued to kill people anyhow. They killed the Zoroastrians and the polytheists the most. They had more and more followers, the Kharijites, the Shiites, the Sunnis etc arose from these terrorist sects. They continued to kill and kill till these days. The BOOK OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY recorded it all and I will have a thread dedicated for this purpose because here cannot contain everything about how Islam started and expanded. I will mention you once I open the thread. Thanks.


And thats how they continue to kill till the billions population started to believe in the killings and there were no other terrorists in the universe that can conquer them till today and all the countries across the world that practices Islam see the beauty of the killings and accepted Allah as the superior god of killings ?


And Satan that you are following couldn't prepare his own terrorist just to defeat the Mohammed movement ?

And Mohamed started to hav supporters all around the world just for killing ?

The world has evolved in their brains beyond killing and Bloodshedding, only Islam hasn't grown beyond that, because killing was in their foundation.

Did you just say that I don't believe that there is Allah? Pls I never and I will never say such. I have seen Allah several times as he lay helpless in his spiritual cage, so why will I say that he doesn't exist?
Allah will remain caged for 997 years more, having completed about three years out of 1000 years he was to spend in his spiritual cage.
Go and read the Book of Universal History and you'll see my position concerning Allah. Peace.

Imagine someone who is trying to teach Muslim who Allah is doesn't even hav clear understanding of his religion


Jesus is God in human fletch ?
And not son of God again ?
And he preaches that you can only get to his father through him ?
The message should be that you can only get to him through him why to his father if he is the God ?

Why do Jesus had to fast and pray if he is the God ?

I was in service when 2 pastors started argument during a fellowship in my PPA as one pastor was preaching that pupila ahould close there eyes for prayer nd the other step forward to correct him that they should open their eyes while saying the prayer nd it degerate to serious confusion during the fellowship
How do you get it so confusing that even pastors couldn't stand on one doctrine but ur consine is about who Muslim calls Allah



In Islam all Muslims are worshiping in the same way
Islam is practice the same way all across the world
Only on Quran for all Muslim and no old or new testament bcs its perfect from beginning to the end

In Islam you dont create an image of Muhammed or Allah and hang or paste it in Mosque as Christians do hav different images or photos of different Jesus in their churches

In Islam there will never be any strange God just as some pastors hav started selling tickets to heaven, commanding their followers to eat grass, worshiping in naked nd bold enough to create church of Satan and Christians turn blind eyes to all these but prefer to brainwash Muslims that Allah is deity



Go and preach to church of satan, those who worship in naked, those who eat grass in church, those who worship different image of white people as Jesus in their church

Yahweh/El is the creator of Adam, this is written in the Jewish original mythology, there are no records of Allah creating Adam until when Muhammad came with his plagiarism. There's nothing like Adam in the yoruba religion mythology.

I think what you meant is that your God became man. He entered in to the womb of one his creation and then passed through the birth canal of his creation. He then became a baby crying "wen, wen wen". He sucked breast, shit, laughed like any other baby. Your God's parents were afraid the evil king will harm your God hence they fled because your God was still a baby. Even your God was circumcised and a dove was killed in what looked like a naming ceremony.

Your God was baptised by John. And then another voice came from heaven saying " this is my beloved son...."

And your acclaimed God said he was sent by a father many times in the Bible.

I will never worship a man born of a woman! Far from all this is the one and true God Allah! The creator , cherisher and sustainer of the whole universe.
