Christianity EtcRe: If Muslims Can Just Answer These Questions by Eno38151: 3:52pm On Mar 22, 2017
First of all Allah, is derived from "al" meaning "THE" and "Ilah" translated as God in english.

The Arabs and Isrealis are descended from Ismail (Ishmael) son and Ishaqs' (Isaac) son Yaquub (Jacob) respectively, their father was Ibrahim (Abraham) who was was born in Mesopotamia and spoke Aramaic not Hebrew.

The arabs are descended from Ismail in the sense that he married into their tribes and as he and his brother Ishaq (peace be upon them all) were granted prophethood and lived in different locations (Ishaq lived in Palestine while Ismail lived in Makkah). He had a position of rank amongst the people, also he Ismail and his father Abraham were the first to build the Ka'bah and Ismail was a prophet sent to the Arabs. Now if you say Islam is something new or invented by the Arab people why would Ibrahim peace be upon him help him by building the Ka'bah the first Masjid to be built. Does that not show that even though the messengers were sent to different communities their message was the same and they all worshipped the same God.

You say Allahs name changed in the Bible even though I would be honest with you i dont know the meaning of "Yahweh or Jehovah" I would tell you this, all of Allahs names are descriptions of his attributes like "the​ most merciful" or "Allah meaning The God in English or more suitably The Object Of Worship". it is not impossible for Allah to call himself by another name. if Allah were to call himself "The Most Merciful does he stop being Allah??. If he were to call himself "The lord of Israel does he stop being the Lord of Makkah"huh I hope you get the point.


Now you claim that Islam is an anomaly from Abraham's teachings (even though you presented no points to buttress your claim). And no authentic preserved copy of Abrahams scripture is known to me and in my little knowledge of Islamic sources none is in existence. So you should present the fact​s.
