Christian Arabs call God Allah, why do I see christians here saying Allah does not exist?

Answer 1

Mainly because of ignorance, arrogance, and because they are fed with Islamophobia by many of their preachers who excel in spreading myths and lies against Islam. They want to distance themselves from Islam as much as possible. Even if that means denying the historal facts of the word. Some have even claimed that Islam is a pagan religion, even though Islam is as monotheistic as Christianity could ever be. No holy book emphasizes on the oneness of God like the Quran does.


From wikipedia:

Allah is the Arabic term for "God" in Abrahamic religions, and is the main term for the deity in Islam.

Most Arabic-speaking Muslims, Christians and Jews (including the Teimanim, several Mizraḥi communities and some Sephardim) use "Allah" as the proper noun for 'God.' "Allah" is found in the Qur'an and in Arabic and Indonesian translations of the Bible. In the Qur'an, it refers to The Only God.

Outside the Arab world, Allah is associated with Islam, and is used to refer specifically to the Islamic concept of God. It is the same as the Jewish conception of God [1][2] , but differs from the Trinitarian Christian conception of a single God.

Islamic scholars often translate Allah directly into English as 'God', especially Qur'an Alone Muslims. Other scholars feel that Allah should not be translated arguing that Allah is the term for "The God" in a glorified pronunciation. This is a significant issue when translating the Qur'an.

Answer 2

Allah is the arabic name for God. If you "see Christians saying Alla does not exist" they are just misinformed or uneducated about Allah and God. My husband calls God Allah and I call God, God, but we both know that the other means the same when speaking.Maybe you should consider your sources of those who say Allah/God does not exist, maybe they don't believe at all.

Answer 3

If one is truly of The Christian Faith they would not say allah instead of God... if a muslim converts it is at great risk for their life... They would have to have had a personal experience with God to be truly of The Christian Faith. Converting, for the muslim is not something to be taken lightly... any Christian knows that God is not allah....

there is certainly a danger for the converted muslim... if there is a need it mey well be that the term allah is used to keep the conversion secret in some way... There are many ,many True Christians around the world who must keep their faith secret for the time being... May God protect them.

Answer 4

Why would any Christians say that? Allah is the God of Abraham. He is the same God they worship, though other than that the beliefs of Islam vs Christianity are wildly different.

Answer 5

Because the meaning of the word is different in the arabic liturgical languages than how most Americans understand the word. They understand Allah as a name, which of course, as I understand it would make it an idol and forbidden in Islam.

Americans don't read or travel much so they don't really understand that the world works in different ways in different places.

It has never occured to most of them that they might be wrong at times.

Answer 9

Because most Christians are ignorant of the history of their OWN religion... it is therefore unreasonable to expect them to know anything about anybody else's religion. Of course, Allah is the same old jealous, petty, capricious, mass-murdering psychopathic Abrahamic death-cult diety of desert monotheism that is described in the Old Testament... Yahweh... Jehovah... whatever.

Christians seem to think that around 2,000 years ago, this diety developed some kind of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), in which he manifested a hippie-like personality (Jesus... spent some time on earth... now can be eaten in the form of a cracker), and a Casper the Ghost-like character with pedophilic tendencies (suspected of having impregnated a 12 or 13 year-old virgin... and being venerated for it).

Moslems, however, do not share that belief; they see him as his same-old psychopathic self, essentially unchanged since his old-testament days... except that he seems to have updated his reward system about 1,500 years ago, when he started handing over virgins (in heaven) to be defiled by insane zealots, as a show of gratitude for them having carried out mass-murder and killing themselves in his name. (I think that's what happens to Catholic nuns, after they die. Where else would they find enough virgins?)

I find him very interesting to note that most Christians... including Christian preachers... haven't got the slightest clue about the historical roots of their own religion, let alone any other religion.

Answer 10

Your attitude toward God is what you think the quality of God is and is how you worship God. If people think that God is not Love they are in error.

Your beliefs cannot be described by a simple name but doctrine is discussed further to examine beliefs.
