Allah is the same name used in Old Testament and NewTestament
1. ByMagdy Abd Alshafy 2. The Christian missionaries claim that Muhammadcalled people to worship an ancient pagan godnamed” allah”.The Arabic word for the English word” god” is Allah.The aim behind this false claim is clear; they alwayslabored themselves to distract the simple-mindedChristian from the truth.Did Muhammad really ordered people to worship anidol god? 3. Refuting this lie by mental evidences If Muhammad had called for the moon-god, the idolaters would have never fought him and they would have supported him because they worshiped that idol. In the Holy Quran, worshipping idols especially the sun and the moon is strictly forbidden. 4. The Arab idolaters would have stop persecuting theprophet if he just said a good word about their idolsbut he never did.They even asked him to worship their idol for one yearand they would do the same next year but he refused.On the conquer of Mecca, the Prophet Muhammadsent some people to Taif where the moon-god( Al-lat)was worshipped to demolish it. 5. In the city of Madina in what we call today "SaudiArabia", there were two main religions: the idolworshiping and Judaism. The name ofthe Jewish leader who also was the Highest Priest inMadina before Islam came was "Abd-Allah Bin-Saba". His Arabic name was not "Abd-Elohim Bin-Saba" or "Abd-Elloi Bin-Saba" or "Abd-GOD Bin-Saba". 6. The Holy Quran refutes the missionaries’ claimThe Holy Quran states that moon is just among Gods •servants:Do you not see that to Allah prostrates whoever is in •the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun,the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, themoving creatures and many of the people? . (22:18) 7. The early pagan Arabs knew well that Allah is not themoon- god( Al-lat) :If you asked them, "Who created the heavens andearth and subjected the sun and the moon?" theywould surely say, "Allah." Then how are theydeluded? (29:61) 8. The Holy Quran implicitly condemns and warnsagainst the worship of the idol-god that was practicedby the Arab pagans. God says what means:“And of His signs are the night and day and the sunand moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon,but prostate to Allah, who created them, if it shouldbe Him that you worship. (41:37)” 9. The Jesw and theThe contemporary Jews of Prophet Muhammad neverobjected to the word Allah being used by Muhammad as a proper name of Yehwah though they were keen to find faults with the Islam. The contemporary Christians who lived in nearbycities to Madina ( Syria, Nagran…etc) never objectto the proper name” Allah” though they were keento find faults with Islam.Jesus used the word “ Allah” in his Aramaic tongue. 10. There is proof from a Christian source that supports our argument (Vines Complete Exposition Dictionary by W.E. Vine, Merrill F.Unger, William White, Jr., Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, TN, 1996.)The above book mentions that Ezra and the Prophet Daniel called their God as "Elah". Thepassage above is more than enough to counter the allegation made by misguided Christiansabout Allâh being a moon god. For, if Allâh is the moon god, then what were Ezra and Danielworshipping? 11. •Modern Arab Christians use the word" Allah" in their HolyBook. Please pay attention to the underlined Arabic word Allah Here’s the word Allah in Arabic 12. Please read this lines from the Book of Ezra: “For some have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men, who pervert the grace of Alaha to impurity, and deny him who is the only Lord Alaha and Maran Yeshua Mshikha”please note that in Arabic you can’t pronounce one letter twice in one word, itin Arabic seems that the Aramaic language followed the same role .Note thatsounds like Alaha in the above mentioned lines 13. See it yourselfThe word Allah in John, the Aramaic version , chapterone http://www.suduva.com/****1/aramaic_john.htm http://www.suduva.com/****1/aramaic_john.htm 14. The first time the word "God" appears in thewhen it states , (1:1) Bible, it is in Genesis Breshit bara ELOHIM et ha-shamaim, Vet .ha-arets In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth 15.
