The name of God and muslims?

Question

If muslims know that the God who Abraham and Isaac, and Moses and Noe, was (and is) Jehovah, how come the say His name is Allah.

Answer 1

Muslims have no interest in following bible commands.

It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". If we want a familiar and close relationship, however, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Answer 2

Who is Allaah?

Very often one will here the Arabic word "Allaah" being used in regards to Islaam.

The word "Allaah" is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God, and is the same word used by Arabic speaking Christians and Jews.

If one were to pick up an Arabic translation of the Bible, one would see the word "Allaah" being use where the word "God" is used in English. Actually, the Arabic word for Almighty God, "Allaah", is quite similar to the word for God in other Semitic languages - for example, the Hebrew word for God is "Elah".

For various reasons, some non-Muslims mistakenly believe that Muslims worship a different God than Jews and Christians. This is certainly not the case, since the Pure Monotheism of Islaam calls all people to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all of the other prophets. However, even though Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God -since there is only one God - their concepts concerning Him differ in some significant ways.

Answer 3

first of all, Allah is just a name for God. like how some bibles say that God's name is Jehovah.
The word "Allah" literally means itself, "The only one worthy to be worshipped".
-Take into consideration that the Arabic Bible uses Allah as a translation for God.

The Glorious Qur’an says in chapter 17 verse 110

"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....‘"
[Al-Qur’an 17:110]

You can call Allah by any name as long as you are calling God who is one, eternal, who does not beget, neither is he begotten and there is nothing like unto him. but it should be a beautiful name, it should not conjure up a mental picture, and should have qualities that only Allah possesses. For example, Most gracious, Most merciful.

"The most beautiful names belong to God: so call on Him by them;..." (7:180)


Now, where does the word Yahweh come from? In bible, When Moses ask God about His personal name, God replied,

Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Its like saying to Moses, "What do you mean by my name, I am what I am" This reply is in harmony with quranic verse (Quran 17:110) that call God by name but it should be the most beautiful name. From this saying "I am", the word Yahweh has derived, which means " He is". In fact, nobody knows the exact pronunciation of this word, because it has been derived from tetragrammaton [YHWH]. The vowels, 'a' and 'e' are added to pronounce as Yahweh. Some people also pronounce this as "Jehovah" Where does this "J" has come from?

Allah is NOT a moon god. Moon is the creation of God. Allah is another name of God.

Quran proves - "Allah" is NOT a 'moon god':

"And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to "Allah" Who created them, if you (really) worship Him." [Quran 41:37]


and Crescent is not the symbol of Islam, Islam has got no symbol.

-Take into consideration that the Arabic Bible uses Allah as a translation for God.

Answer 5

We are taught this name by Allah the Almighty himself and all prophets used to call him by this name only including Jesus (peace by upon him).

NOBODY is allowed to know the name of God. He is known by many "names" around the world...none of which are His true "name". Read the Bible.

Allah is 'a' name of God...there is but one 'entity' which is nameless...and is called by many names...confusing, maybe...but made clear through faith.

Answer 8

because allah is different. he is the moon god. that's why the crescent moon is a symbol for islam.

the moon god was named "sin." but his title was "al-ilah" which means "the deity." al-ilah --> allah.
