In Arabic, Allah means
literally the one God. It is
pretty easy to understand
how different languages
give the same thing
different names. Is it that
unusual to hear Muslims
call God another name,
like Allah, while you call
him God or Lord? Some
people have no minds; in
the last decade, a growing
phenomenon was seen on
the internet and in
published literature. Allah
is said to be the moon
god that Arabs
worshiped, and Kaaba
(The Muslims holiest place
on Earth) is His temple.
The evidence for this
theory is the crescent that
appears on the top of
many mosques all over
the world plus a fabricated
picture of the moon god.

This idea is very
dangerous. If you believe
that Muslims are
worshiping an idol, then
there is no basis even to
talk to them. They are
pagan idolaters like
Hindus and Buddhists. It is
alleged that although
Islam is a monotheistic
religion, the Muslims' only
God is simply another idol
that Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)
chose (or in some versions
of the story, he made it
up).
To invalidate this foolish
theory, one has to take
the story from different
angles.
The crescent is not a
symbol of Islam, but of the
Ottoman Empire. The
Ottomans are those tribes
that moved to Turkey
from east and middle
Asia. They converted to
Islam and built a huge
Muslim Empire that ruled
the whole Muslim world
for centuries. When they
took Islam as a religion
they started using the
lunar calendar, the
calendar that was used by
Muslims, Jews and early
Christians. Even today, the
flag of Turkey has a
crescent on it. There was
no crescent on any
mosque built before the
Ottomans era.

Prophet Abraham built
the Kaaba for people to
worship God. While pagan
Arabs admitted this fact
and even kept the stone
where he used to stand to
build the Kaaba
(Abraham's station), they
brought idols to the Kaaba
and worshiped them to
get closer to Abraham's
Lord, Allah, God of gods.
Prophet Muhammad
(P.B.U.H.) came with the
monotheistic message of
Islam. Arabs defended
these idols and refused to
give up the religion of
their fathers and
grandfathers. They
offered to Muhammad a
deal, that is to worship
their gods for one year,
and they worship Allah
alone for one year. A
chapter of the Quran came
with the response from
God to this evil invitation:
[Say : O ye that reject
Faith! I worship not that
which ye worship, Nor will
ye worship that which I
worship. And I will not
worship that which ye
have been wont to
worship, Nor will ye
worship that which I
worship. To you be your
Way, and to me
mine. ]109:1-6 *

Later on, the Quran
started calling Allah by
other names. One of those
holy names was Al-
Rahman (the Gracious).
Arabs wondered:is this a
new God? The Quran
responded again:
[Say: Call upon Allah, or
call upon Rahman: by
whatever name ye call
upon Him, (it is well): for
to Him belong the Most
Beautiful Names. ]17:110
It is not a new god; it is
a new name for the same
God. Allah has ninety nine
names in Islam; all of
them are holy and speak
about different attributes
of the same creator,
almighty Allah. As an
example, read these
verses of the Quran:
[Allah is He, than Whom
there is no other god;
Who knows (all things)
both secret and open; He,
Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.

Allah is He, than Whom
there is no other god; the
Sovereign, the Holy One,
the Source of Peace (and
Perfection), the Guardian
of Faith, the Preserver of
Safety, the Exalted in
Might, the Irresistible, the
Supreme: Glory to Allah!
(High is He) above the
partners they attribute to
Him.
He is Allah, the Creator,
the Evolver, the Bestower
of Forms (or Colours). To
Him belong the Most
Beautiful Names:
whatever is in the heavens
and on earth, doth declare
His Praises and Glory; and
He is the Exalted in Might,
the Wise.]59:22-24

When Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) came
back to Mecca, he entered
the city peacefully on the
top of an army of 10,000
men, exactly as the Bible
described him pre-
eminent above ten
thousand. (Solomon
5:10). He did not burn a
single home; he did not
harm a single person; he
just went to the Kaaba
and destroyed all the gods
Arabs had there. He kept
nothing in the Kaaba.
Where is this picture of
the moon god coming
from? I don't know. Did
anyone of the pagan Arabs
have a digital camera by
then?
There is evidence that
the word Allah existed
before the birth of
Muhammad PBUH for
thousands of years. It is
probably the oldest name
man used to call God.
Most likely, Adam used the
word Allah to call the
Lord. On the other hand,
the word GOD was born
with the English language,
less than ten centuries
ago. Can we say that all
English speaking nations
are pagans because they
use the word God?
What about Chinese
monotheists? How should
they call God?

Prophet Muhammad's
fathers name was
Abdullah (The slave of
Allah). This name was
common among Arab
pagans and Jews.
Abdullah bin Salam was
one of the first Jews to
convert to Islam in
Medina. When Arabs call
Allah in prayer they say:
Ya Allah or Allahoma.
Aren't these words
familiar to you? Alleluia
and Elohim are the
words used to call Allah in
the Bible. In Hebrew, the
suffix im means many. So
Elohim literally means
many Allah(s). This is a
known way to express
dignity and respect to
almighty Allah by calling
Him pleural. This
phenomenon is known in
Hebrew, Arabic, English
and other languages. In
Quran, the same pattern is
seen many times. For
example, God says in the
holy Quran:
[ We have, without
doubt, sent down the
Message; and We will
assuredly guard it (from
corruption). ]15:9.

In the English
translation of the Bible,
you read, Let us make
man in our image -
Genesis 1:26-KJV.
The word Allah is used
in all Arabic translations of
the Bible. It was used in
some English translations
of the Bible like the
original Scofield
Reference Bible-
reference: what is his
name? by Deedat. In the
New Testament, Jesus is
believed to cry before his
death ELOI, ELOI, LAMA
SABACHTHANI ? Eloi is the
exact Arabic word Elahi
which comes from the
same root as Allah.
I have no doubt that the
word Allah is the oldest
known name man called
God with. For those who
choose to ignore this fact
and transgress, Muslims
have nothing to offer.
Allah says in the holy
Quran:
[If any, after this, invent
a lie and attribute it to
Allah, they are indeed
unjust wrong-doers.] 3:94
For Muslims, Allah is
perfect. He has no
partners. We worship Him
and Him alone. Our faith
is summarized in the holy
Quran:
[Say: He is Allah, the One
and Only; Allah, the
Eternal, Absolute; He
begetteth not, nor is He
begotten; And there is
none like unto
Him.]112:1-4 *
