"Allah" is from the compound Arabic word "al-ilah" or in English "the god." It is an incontrovertable fact that "Allah" was known before Muhammad's time. His name has been found in pre-Islamic writings and other archeological finds. At the Kabah in Mecca, over 350 "gods" were worshipped, but it was built especially for the chief deity - the Moon god. Allah was the personal title of the moon god. Allah was married to the sun goddess. They produced three daughters, whose worship Muhammad would later make the mistake of condoning. The crescent moon symbol of Arabia came from this "god."
Muhammad's family revered this particular god and it is this idol that Muhammad declared to be the only true god. So, Allah - far from being the revealed God of the Bible as Muhammad would have us believe - is nothing more than an amplified pagan idol. Muhammad did not re-make the pagan god, he simply removed the lower deities from the rites of worship. That is why he never had to explain who Allah was. By definition, an idol converted in the 7th century into a new god cannot be the same God revealed thousands of years earlier to (Jewish) Biblical prophets!
Peace.

The moon is a symbol of the Goddess. Many Christians are very confused about the history of religion. Not to mention that they stole and incorporated so many traditions, holidays and symbols for other beliefs, and then twisted it all to confuse everyone!
Blessed Be....

I don't say mood god, but mood goddess......
There are moon gods though. Thoth was the Egyptian god of the moon.
Other than that, I'm not really sure of what you are asking.
