The Name "ALLAH" by motayoayinde: 5:38pm On Aug 27, 2020
ALLAH is the Arabic name of the supreme being and the creator of the universe.
The root word of Allah is "ال اله" , which means The God. The only God that there is.

HIS NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES
Allah's names and attributes are unique to Him alone. Here are some:
The creator, the sustainer of the universe, the provider, the determiner and organizer of all affairs, the one who is alone in His dominion of the universe, the most powerful one who shares his sovereignty with no one, the one who has neither ascendants nor descendants, the everlasting one who never dies, the most merciful and most forgiving, the whole of creation is subservient to Him and under His control, master of the day of judgement.

HIS OTHER NAMES
Allah has other names and attributes in Islam apart from those already listed.

Different people call Him by different names too.
In Hebrew/Aramaic He's called Eli/Elah
In Yoruba, Olorun/Oluwa/Olodumare
In Igbo, Chukwu/Chineke
In Hausa, Ubangiji
In Ebira, Omorihi
In Bini, Osanobua
In Idoma, Owoicho
In Igala, Ojo
In Urhobo/Isoko, Oghene
In English, God.
etc.

USE IN ANCIENT TIMES
It might surprise modern day Christians to know that Arab Christians had referred to God as Allah long before prophet Muhammad (saw) was born.
This is because Christianity came about six hundred years before Islam and had spread to surrounding Arabic-speaking lands. Yemen for instance was an Arab Christian kingdom before the Prophet was born. They had no other word for God but Allah.
Arab Christians till today refer to God as Allah and all the versions of the bible translated into Arabic, have Allah to mean God. The concept of God only differs from that of Islam which believes Allah to be Only One God.
Jewish Arabs and even polytheists have also referred to God as Allah long before the Prophet was born.

A Christian who for instance visits the church of the nativity in Palestine will incur the anger of the Palestinian Christians who live there and could in fact be charged for blasphemy if he insults Allah.

This is meant to caution as well as enlighten those who use unprintable words when making comments in social media about Allah.
Regardless of who you are and what you believe, restraint must be applied when talking about your maker.

A LOT OF CHRISTIANS DON'T SEEM TO KNOW THAT THE WORD "ALLAH," EXISTS IN THE BIBLE (Arabic).

THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW THAT "ALLAH" IS A WORD USED TO REFER TO GOD BY MILLIONS OF ARAB CHRISTIANS EVERYDAY.

TO INSULT ALLAH IS TO INSULT THE CREATOR OF ALL.

I MUST ALSO ADVISE MY BROTHERS IN ISLAM TO REFRAIN FROM SPEAKING ILL OF THE OLD TESTAMENT GOD.

HE IS THE SAME ALLAH. THE ONE WHO SENT THE QUR'AN ALSO SENT THE TAURAAT AND THE INJEEL.

I KNOW YOU'RE PUSHED INTO DOING THIS BY THEIR UNPROVOKED ATTACKS.

ADDRESS THE ISSUES, LET THEM BEAR THEIR SINS.

When Christians call Allah, they are referring to Al-Ilah which means "The God" and not Allah, the idol of Quraysh.

Christians Allah is the father of Jesus Christ


Christians Allah is not confined to one particular direction, you don't have to face any Qibla to pray to Him.

Christians Allah is a holy God and not a sexually immoral god like the Allah who is an idol


Actually Christians are NOT the ones who refer to Allah as an idol, it's Muslims themselves.

Every Islamic sources accept that Mohammed's grandfather Abd-Muttalib was a pagan, an idol worshipper. In fact scholars are of the opinion that because Abd-Muttalib was an idol worshipper, Muslims should not give his name to their children.

What is the name of the idol Abd-Muttalib worshipped? The idol was Hubal/Allah/Baal which is a moon god and whose logo was crescent moon and star the same logo Islam use today on the mosques and on the flags of Islamic nation

To prove his loyalty to his idol, Abd-Muttalib named one of his children after Allah, Abd-Allah(Abdallah) who Islamic source say is the father of Mohammed.

Mohammed simply continued the family business and religion and retained all the pagan practices of the worship of Allah and made only slight modifications to some like women doing tawaf naked(the modification was actually done by Abu Bakr and Mohammed didn't object):

"Narrated Abu Huraira:
On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijja, in the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet (ﷺ) when Abu Bakr was the leader of the pilgrims in that Hajj) Abu Bakr sent me along with other announcers to Mina to make a public announcement: "No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Ali to read out the Surat Bara'a (at-Tauba) to the people; so he made the announcement along with us on the day of Nahr in Mina: "No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba."
-Sahih al-Bukhari 369

And Baal/Allah/Hubal is a god of sexual immorality that is why he has promised his followers a brothel-like paradise in which sex will be the order of the day and also promised to make "young boys made eternal " available for those interested in boys.

"There will circulate among them young boys made eternal"
(QS. Al-Waaqia 56: Verse 17)


"Say, Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allah will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allah. And Allah is Seeing of [His] servants -"
(QS. Aal-i-Imraan 3: Verse 15)


"And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,"
(QS. Al-Waaqia 56: Verse 22)

Even today, all sorts of sexual harassments take place at Islamic 'holiest' site the house of Allah in which for years women are sexually harassed and some of them have started speaking out with hashtag #MosqueMeToo

""It is during the tawaf that many women experience groping, handling and grabbing, says Eltahawy, according to the responses she's heard from women. "It's very crowded. At any given moment, there are thousands of men and women [circling Kaaba at one time].""

Great summation. Every culture has a name for their supreme deity, the Arabs inclusive. The Arabs of all faith call their god Allah because that's their official language and a generic name for their gods. There is nothing strange and special about that, and using Christian Arabs to sell Islamic Allah is very ridiculous.Both the Christian and Islamic Allah are two distinct personalities, having different characteristics. Their only common denominator is answering the same name which is Allah.

It is never on record that the Christians of the 6th and 7th century called their God Allah and the opposite is true. All the old church incriptions, from Syria to Ethiopia, confirms that they called their God Jehovah. Most of them started using Allah, mostly from the 10th and 11th century AD because Islam had gained preeminence and the language of study and commerce is Arabic while most population subconsciously started to refer their gods as Allah.

If the preeminence religion in Arabia is Hindu, most Arabs today will call their God Vishnu. It is just a commonsense.

LET ME BEGIN WITH A WORD OF ADVICE, IF YOU INSIST ON REFUTING AND PUNCHING HOLES IN EVERYTHING SAID BY YOUR "OPPONENTS" (real or imagined), YOU'LL SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT EVENTUALLY AS YOU'VE CLEARLY DONE IN THIS CASE.

NOT EVERY POINT MADE (even by those you hate), IS REFUTABLE.

YOUR DESPERATION TO REFUTE THE FACTS GIVEN ABOVE HAS LEAD YOU AND THE PERSON YOU QUOTED INTO PRESENTING THIS PATHETIC DOUBLESPEAK AS YOUR RESPONSE. AND I MUST SAY THAT YOUR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE EAST, FURTHER GAVE YOU AWAY.

FIRSTLY, THE IDEA THAT THE BOTH OF YOU ARE ADVANCING IS ONE THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN HISTORY.
THAT TWO "COMPLETELY DIFFERENT" WORLD RELIGIONS, WORSHIPPING TWO DIFFERENT "PERSONALITIES" AGREED ON THE SAME NAME TO CALL THEIR GODS.

WHAT SORT OF LUDICROUS COOPERATION WILL THAT BE AND TO WHAT END?

FOR INSTANCE, CHRISTIANS DECIDE TO ADOPT "MAMMON" AS THE NAME OF THEIR GOD BECAUSE IT'S TRENDING, AND PRAY "IN THE NAME OF MAMMON"?

SECONDLY, YOUR CLAIM THAT CHRISTAINS DECIDED TO JETTISON THE AGE LONG NAME "JEHOVAH" (yahweh), FOR A RELATIVELY NEW " ALLAH" BECAUSE ARABIC BECAME THE LANGUAGE OF COMMERCE, IS FALSE.
ARAB JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND PAGANS ALL CALLED GOD "ALLAH" BEFORE THE PROPHET (SAW) WAS BORN.
SEE THIS:

"Allah (/ˈælə, ˈɑːlə) is the Arabic word for God in Abrahamic religions. In the English language, the word generally refers to God in Islam.[3][4][5] The word is thought to be derived by contraction from al-ilāh, which means "the god", and is related to El and Elah, the Hebrew and Aramaic words for God.[6][7]

The word Allah has been used by Arabic people of different religions since pre-Islamic times.[8] More specifically, it has been used as a term for God by Muslims (both Arab and non-Arab) and Arab Christians.[9]"

JUST A FEW CLICKS ON YOUR GOOGLE APP AND WIKI WILL SPILL THIS AND MORE ON YOUR SCREEN.

THIRDLY, YOU LIED WITH YOUR CLAIM THAT 6th AND 7th CENTURY ARAB CHRISTIANS REFERRED TO GOD AS JEHOVAH.

THE NAME "YAHWEH" (the letters y,h,w,h) IS ANOTHER NAME FOR GOD AMONG JEWS APART FROM ELI AND ELAH.
IT BECAME "JEHOVAH" WHEN IT WAS LATINISED WITH THE "Y" REPLACED WITH "J"
THE LATINISATION HAPPENED MUCH LATER
THE NAME " JEHOVAH" WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE ENGLISH BIBLE IN MID 15th CENTURY.
IN A NUTSHELL, ARAB CHRISTIANS DIDN'T KNOW THE NAME "JEHOVAH" LET ALONE USE IT.

FOURTH, ARAB DOMINATION COULDN'T HAVE FORCED THE CHRISTIANS INTO CHANGING THE NAME OF THEIR GOD FOR ANOTHER. THE JEWS WERE CONQUERED AND RULED OVER BY VARIOUS PAGAN CONQUERORS IN THEIR LONG HISTORY. DID THAT MAKE THEM CHANGE THEIR GOD OR HIS NAME?
FURTHERMORE, ENGLISH HAS BEEN SPOKEN IN OUR COUNTRY FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS NOW HAS IT CHANGED YOUR GOD'S NAME? I BET IT HASN'T.

LASTLY, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LABOURING ((in vain) TO PROVE IS THAT ALLAH IS SOME KIND OF IDOL.

LET'S MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR, ISLAM IS A SELF CONFIDENT RELIGION.
IF MUSLIMS WORSHIP IDOLS, WE'D BE FIRST TO SAY SO.
DO HINDUS FEEL ASHAMED TO DISPLAY THEIR IDOLS?
DO BUDDHISTS LIE ABOUT THEIR IDOLS?
WHAT SENSE IS IN DOING SO?

ISLAM IS THE STRICTEST MONOTHEIST FAITH IN THE WORLD.
ALL FORMS OF IDOLATRY ARE FORBIDDEN.
IT IS THE MESSAGE MUHAMMAD(saw) BROUGHT. TO OBLITERATE IDOL AND MAN WORSHIP.

THE IDOLS OF THE KA'BAH HAVE BEEN DESTROYED MORE THAN A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO. THE HOLY HOUSE OF THE ALLAH IS EMPTY OF IDOLS AND PURE FOR HIS WORSHIP ALONE.

STOP LABOURING IN VAIN, SEARCHING FOR IDOLS THAT DON'T EXIST EXCEPT IN YOUR HEADS.
