Is Satan the Devil another name for Allah?

Question

I know exactly what the term allah means. As rightly suggested it is god. However, there exist many gods in the world. Many are depicted by a given name.

But is Satan really the Islamic god.?

Answer 1

allah is arabic and means god

Answer 2

Al Lah means THE GOD in arabic.Satan is something else.You can call him or it iblis,satan, the devil, lucifer, legion, etc..Allah is not evil.You can not judge HIM according to the workings of mankind.Which most do.And do you really have a right to judge HIM?Not even satan would do that.But mankind would.People fear what they don't understand including myself.No one is excluded from this truth.If allah is satan, then why are all of the holy lands of the prophets islamic.You can not judge by propaganda nor a small portion of islam(al-quida).Islam is all through the eastern hemisphere in peace.From Egypt to Jordan.From Africa to Indonesia.What you see on the news is always the negative side and they dare not show the true beauty of islam on the news.For that is where most of peoples thoughts about islam come from.If they showed the beauty of islam.People might start asking "why?" and coming up with the answers.PEACE!

Answer 3

Satan was created by God (you may call God Allah if you so desire). Satan is within the control of God also. But, Satan has also been given time to make offers. Satan does not have the power to turn anyone except by them giving their own will in the hands of Satan. Then and only then you become a prisoner of the many beautiful chains that he ties you with.

However, those who obey Allah/God, refuse the offers of Satan, and thus not only stay out of his jail, but Satan causes them to move closer to the Lord Almighty, who pulls you closer to him.

Thus Satan becomes a resource to push the good towards God, by making them foul offers that they refuse, where as he catches on and holds those who accepts him as their leader.

Satan or Devil is a great sieve that separates the good from the evil. Freedom is to rise closer to the LORD ALMIGHTY, Satan is there to give you resistance and build your spiritual muscle.

I hope this makes sense to you. =)

Answer 4

Actually mate, allah does not mean God at all!! its an aramaic word that means curse, this is absolutly true. I can speak arabic, aramaic and hebrew so know what i am talking about. Go to the book of deuteronomy in the old testiment of the holy bible, go to chapter 28 and read verses 15 onwards, everytime the word curse comes up replace it with allah (thats what it says in its orginal format) then you will see whats happening today, do it, it will open your eyes a bit.

Answer 5

There is NO god but Allah. None whatsoever, therefore Allah has to be Satan. There is one hundred names for Allah in the Islamic religion, none he is refered to as God. Go figure.

Answer 6

Allah is the God of the Muslims, which is not the God of the Christians.

As for Satan he was once an Angel named Lucifer, who sinned against the living God. He was excomunicated from Heaven taking a third of the Angels with him.

To be a Christian you must believe in Christ, as he said " I am the way the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father exept through me" he was crucified for our sins to reunite us with the Father, we can only come to God with the covering of Christs blood.

Were as Allah does not have a son according to the Muslim faith.

God does not have a million different rules on how to serve him. He sent his Son to die that we may obtain eternal life through Jesus Christ his son, what we do with Jesus Christ will determine our eternal destination.

Answer 7

Look, pal, I despise Islam, but don't be an ignoramus about it. "Allah" is Arabic for "the God" and he has been identified by Muslims with the God of the Old Testament. Find a more intelligent way to oppose Islam than that.

Answer 8

The way Muslims think of Allah is how Christians feel about Jehovah. And in a sense, the way Christians feel about Allah is how Jews feel about Jesus.

Maybe you should ask Jews if Jesus is another name for Satan (if they believed in the devil).

Answer 9

No. Allah is the Arabic term for "God" in Abrahamic religions, and is the main term for the deity in Islam. This is the same god as the Christians have.

Answer 10

I have studied the bible for 25 years and can even translate revelations, I can tell you now, that their is only ONE God and it's not Allah, or anyone else. The original Greek and Hebrew scrolls clearly state that his name is Yahweh or Jehovah and it is his book you follow, the book of life -THE BIBLE
All other religions are governed by Devil/Satan and his followers (check revelations)

Answer 11

There have been several, Islam included along with more recent Mormons, who have had founding leaders make defining statements at crucial moments that later leaders usually gloss over--something like "The Christian God is our devil and our god is the Christian devil." Americans are known for two things: saints and sinners. We export to the world some of the best in Christian experience and example. We also export to the world some of the worst of human vices. It is our individualism and, as one cultural leader named Hugh Hefner used to say, "We can be free to serve the God of our choice or go to the devil if we want." In some parts of the world, although individual choices are always made, there is a more uniform cultural sense and sensibility. That basic cultural identification is more uniform than we in "Western Civilization" tend to think. In Middle Eastern eyes (although not limited to there), one sees the American saint and says America is a Christian nation, which in many ways was and to some degree remains definitely true. With the other eye, the Middle Eastern sees the vulgar and profane and unabashedly sinful. Since one times one is still one, then American Christianity is extremely sinful. "The Great Satan" is a convenient propaganda phrase, but they came about it honestly.

Mohammad saw many gods, Allah was one of them. Abraham came from a Mesopotamian nation to a hodgepodge called Caanan. The generic term for deity there was el and Abraham used that for a generic expression for God, as in the one God that told him to go there. Mohammad did the same with Allah, as in that was the name of the God that spoke to, and supposedly through, him. In his writings, Mohammad spent a large amount of ink on what was called the Jenn or Jinn. We get the stories of a geni in a lamp, that was essentially a captive Jenn who would, could, or sometime perversely did supernatural, as in magical, things for the human possessing them. We have borrowed the term, genius, for someone who has phenomenal mental ability, as in extraordinarily smart. We also borrow some baggage with that term, in that people that are sometimes extraordinarily smart are often extraordinarily stupid or strange, even crazy. Again, this borrows from the geni from the Jenn. Mohammad, spending a lot of time with the Jenn, saying he over came them, even winning some over to him, is an interesting hint. Christians and Jews know of evil spirits, devils if you would, but are directed not to spend time with them or converse with them but either cast them our or leave if they can't--although many today, particularly in Western Civilization, don't like to admit such exist, we are too sophisticated for supernatural things. So there is this demonic, devilish hint.

One of the things that sort of sealed the issue for me, was found in the history of Tamerlane the great Uzbek conqueror. He was a Moslem of renown cunning and cruelty. On his grave he gave a warning not to disturb his bones and on the day they were a worse thing would come upon the people of the one who did. Russian scientist M. M. Gerasimov cracked open the jade cover to Tamerlane's grave in 1941, the exact day when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. If Hitler was the thing worse than Tamerlane (as if Stalin wasn't also), then that makes me feel (just a feeling, you can't take it to the bank) as if the power behind Timor the Lame (which Gerasimov confirmed) was distinctly Satanic.

Jesus said that we know people by their fruit. The fanatical and militaristic champions of Allah in this day do such cruel and barbarous things with such angry and maniacal fervor. They fight against a people that while revelling in their excessive and sinful behavior on the one hand also include those among them that are models of compassion and generousity on the other. I can't say that Satan is specifically another name for Allah, but I can say it is understandable if some can see that it looks that way. Yet, I can also see how some under the banner of Allah can see how Americans appear to worship the Devil too.
