Christians stop fighting over the name"Allah". You can call Him Abba which means father.
1.In Arabic, GOD is called ILAH, not Allah.
e.g In the muslim declaration of faith - the Shahada
- La Ilah [god] Illa' [except] Allah, wa [and] Muhammad Rasool' [messenger of] Allah.
2.Jesus cried out on the cross in Aramaic Matt 27:46 "Elahi, Elahi, Lama Sabachthani"? “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
In Arabic it would have been "Ilahi, Ilahi, Lama Taraktani"
3.Historical evidences, well versed references and all available
circumstantial judgments can very well prove that—(a) Allah name of
deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (b) Pre-Islamic
Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity (moon-god).
Allah’s name existed in pre-Islamic Arab.
4.In ancient Arab,
Allah was considered to be the supreme God/deity (as Moon-God) for the
Qaraysh tribe (Muhammad's tribe) and Arab Pagans worshipped Allah before
Islam arrived. Allah was 1 of the 360 pagan gods worshipped in the
kaaba by arabs before Mohammad united all the arab tribes to worship 1
god (Allah).
5. Allah had 3 daughters
It is an undeniable
fact of history that before Muhammed was born, the moon god Allah had
three daughters named al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. The first two were even
named after their father (Allah). Each daughter had a separate shrine
near Mecca, where Allah's shrine was located. As Muhammad grew weary
from evangelizing his new religion with little success, he was tricked
by the devil into adding a verse in the Koran that commanded Muslims to
pray to Allah's three pagan daughters Lat, Uzza and Manat. The pagan
female trinity was immediately accepted without dissent and the passage
was considered part of the revealed Koran. However some time later,
Muhammad got a revelation from God that the verse should be removed.
After repenting of the error, Muhammad was comforted by God. Salman
Rushdie wrote about this in the book "The satanic verses" &
Ayotollah Khomeini issued a fatwa to kill him.
6.The Qur’an explicitly denies that Allah has a son, and Islam considers the idea of a Christian triune God to be blasphemy.
7.Allah in Islam is an absolute oneness. But God in Christianity is a
triune God. The word 'God' in [Genesis 1:1] is Elohim, and it is a
plural name that signifies plurality in oneness. Elohim in His full
deity is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
8. In the Koran we read
again, and again, and again, that Allah swore by Mecca, swore by the
angel, swore by the Koran, swore by the fig tree, and the Muslim would
not think that this makes god lesser than his creation. But in the
Bible, we have a triune God who swore by Himself, because no one is
greater than Him.
I hope this will help to clarify that Allah
is not the God of Christians. In the Old testament God was called Elohim
& Yahweh (YHWH). In the New Testament Jesus introduced God as our
"ABBA" Father.
This information is only for my Christian brother and carry no offense to My Muslim friends.
