If you still insist that Allah was a moon god,...................?

Question

Then why are the Jews from Pre-islamic name himself Abdullah(Which mean servant of Allah)

For example:Abdullah bin Saba,he was a Jewish High Priest in Madina,long before Islam.

What about your Christians friends in Arabia,are they worshipping the moon god because they refer God as Allah?

In fact I won't blame the Christians,I blame the holy spirit, because that they say that they were inspired by the Holy Spirit

Rossonero,what did you mean,did you mean that Allah will put his spirit in a womb and kill him to forgive the man sins

daysleepernightcreeper I totally agree with you.

For Muslims,I suggest you read the Quran to strenghten our faith

Sura As Shaff 8:"They want to remove Allah's(Islam) light,yet Allah still shone it's light,although the infidels don't like it"

May Allah Guide The Christians

derek b ,look at your Bible, it stated that Your Bible has the death penalty for apostasy.

2 Chronicles 15:13,"All who would not seek the Lord,The God of Israel,were to be put to death,whether small or great,man or women."

This is what you call freedom of religion in the Bible.???????????

Answer 1

How about the fact that the Quran itself commands muslims not to worship the moon, but only to view it as a sort of time telling calendar?

[041:037] Among His proofs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate before the sun, nor the moon; you shall fall prostrate before the GOD who created them, if you truly worship Him alone.

[002:189] They ask you about the (cyclical changes in the) moon. Say, “It serves as a calendar for mankind, and to mark the time for pilgrimage.” Piety is not (a ritual requiring) that you enter your home through its rear. Piety is to (know and) fear Allah. Enter your homes through its front door, and fear Allah. Perhaps, you would prosper!

[006:096] It is He Who causes dawn to break out (from the pitch dark night). He has created the night for resting, and He has created the sun and the moon as measures (for the passage of time). Such is the destiny appointed by the most Powerful and the most Aware.

[007:054] Your Lord, Allah, is certainly the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods of time. Then He mounted the throne (majestically). He wrapped the night over the day that follows it quickly. The sun, the moon and the stars have all been tamed by His command. Beware! The creation and the command (over it), belong to Him (exclusively). Exalted is He, the Sustainer of all the worlds.

[010:005] He made the sun bright; He made the moon lustrous and destined several stages for it, so you may count the years and have a calendar! Allah created all that with a supreme purpose! He expands the significance of His signs for any nation with understanding!

[013:002] It is Allah Who raised the heavens without any pillars, as you can see. Then, He mounted the throne and tamed the sun and the moon _ each is in motion for a specified time. He conducts His affairs and He explains His signs. Perhaps you will acknowledge the scheduled meeting with your Lord!

[014:033] And for you, He tamed the sun and the moon; they are forever on course. He subjected the night and the day to benefit you!

[016:012] For you He tamed the night and the day, as well as the sun and the moon! And by His command the stars are brought under control. Surely, there are signs in it for those who think!

[021:033] And He is the One Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Each is afloat in its orbit.

[022:018] Do you not observe that everyone (and everything) in the heavens and on the earth falls prostrate before Allah: the sun and the moon, the stars and the mountains, the trees and the beasts, and a lot of people, too! Punishment has become warranted for many others (who do not prostrate). There is no honor for the one whom Allah humiliates. Undoubtedly, Allah does what He wills!

[025:061] Blessed is He Who created fortified spheres in the heavens and placed (in one of them) the great lamp _ (the sun) _ and the luminous moon.

[029:061] If you were to put them this question, “Who created the heavens and the earth, and who tamed the sun and the moon?”, they will respond, “Allah!” Say, “So why then, are you being deceived?”

[031:029] Do you not observe? Allah causes the night to take over the day, and He pushes the day over the night. He tamed the sun and the moon. Each of them is in motion for a specified term. Allah is well Aware of everything you do.

[035:013] He wraps the night over the day and He rolls out the day over the night. He has tamed the sun and the moon _ each will stay in motion for a specified period. Such is Allah, your Lord. The empire (of this entire universe) belongs to Him. Those others you call gods beside Him do not own even a flimsy film over a date-stone.

[036:039] And the moon! We destined it to return in stages until it comes back like the dried out branch of the date tree!

[036:040] It is not ordained for the sun to overtake the moon, nor for the night to outpace the day. Each, (the sun and the moon), is afloat in its respective orbit!

[039:005] He created the heavens and the earth with a purpose. He makes the night succeed the day, and He has the day follow the night. He has subjected the sun and the moon (and has pressed them into service) for your sake. Each is afloat for a specified time. Is He not the most Powerful and the oft-Forgiving?

[041:037] The night and the day, and the sun and the moon are among His signs. Do not bow before the sun, or before the moon. Rather, prostrate before Allah, the One Who created them, if it is He Whom you want to worship (exclusively)!

[054:001] The hour (of Judgment) draws closer. The moon split apart!

[055:005] The sun and the moon function (perfectly), as per their schedules.

[071:016] “In the heavens, He created the moon to be (a soft) light, (while) He set the sun up as a lamp _ (a source of light).”

[074:032] No! (I) swear by the moon!

[075:008] And the moon turns lightless,

[075:009] And the sun and the moon are made to run into each other.

[084:018] And the moon when it is full!

[091:002] And the moon that trails (and reflects) its light.

Answer 2

Look.Calling Allah A moon god,and calling Islam worshiping Muslims pagans is easy for people,because when they bow to the giant cube in Mecca it sends off the signal of idolatry.
For Christians,none of them should be worshiping the cross,but the cross should be a reminder of what the risen savior Jesus Christ did for us.
Remember Jesus said"whosoever"that means me and you both and anybody else.Anyone at anytime can call upon the name of the lord and be saved.
Repentance,not decision.
As far as Saudi Arabia,apostasy from Islam is death or life imprisonment.

Answer 3

Arab Christians do use the term Allah, but they are obviously referring to a different entity from muslims because the Christian Allah can do so many things the a*lah of islam can't (the biggest example is put his spirit into a human body and allow that body to be killed).

green_lantern: That's not what I said. If you're actually interested in understanding who Jesus really is you can find info here written for the benefit of muslims:

http://isaalmasih.net/

If you only want to debate then no matter what you believe about Jesus the reality is Arab Christians believe in an Allah who can do things that the muslim one can't. You do not serve the same being although they both are referred to by the same name.

Answer 4

That a hebrew or aramaic word for god and an arabic word for a god are cognate is not unexpected as hebrew/aramaic and arabic are closely related languages.

No one ever claimed that Allah didn't mean 'god'...the contention is that the 'allah' that Mohammed introduced as the god of islam is not the same God that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the Jews) worshipped and historically is an idol from the arabian pantheon of gods that existed prior to Mohammed.

Answer 5

they already know that Allah is God. so don't waste ur time, God knows what's wisper in the people heart. and he knows the believers from the disbelievers.
