Allah says he is the God of Abraham yet all of the scriptures before Muhammad are in disagreement with the Qu'ran. Is there scriptural evidence that the god Allah was in existance before Muhammad?

Aminah, there is no evidence of an Islamic Allah before Muahmmad, The scriptures of the Jews and Christians show and entirely differen't God. It is the reason Muslims call these scriptures corrupt evn though the Qu'ran teaches they are Allah's truths..Muhammad tried to create a god that was the God of Abrham but failed miserably as his Allah is not in agreement with the God that created him.

Knowing, I agree their is one God but I do not agree Allah is the God of Abraham. The God that was before Muhammad is not the Allah of Islam. I am not cursing this false god I am simply stating an obvious fact anyone can compare the scriptures to find that Yahweh Is not Allah compare the scriptures not only this but Allah claims to be this God of Abraham which is impossible in so many ways, this makes Allah a liar or non existant which is the obvious conclusion.

Hello djmantx
If you are looking for written evidence then no, nothing is in existence. There is no evidence of Allah as the God of Abraham from the time before Mohammed. Whatever is written in the Quran from before Mohammed's time, is from Jewish and Christian sources. Allah only existed as a pagan god. Allah can be any god, it simply means God in Arabic.
The term "Muslim", denoting one submitted to Islam, does not appear in any Arabic texts, official or otherwise, prior to the rise of the Abbasids (~750 AD).
Unlike the Bible, the Koran follows no chronological order at all, and it gives no historic backdrop against which to see the picture of Allah's work with man.
What Koranic historic data is given is based on twisted legends from Coptic Egypt and New Testament apocryphal fables.
Whereas the past, in the Bible accounts, is handled with dates, time periods, and detail for accountability. The Bible is full of Prophecies. The Quran has none (well, of course I forgot the ones that are so convenient, like Deut. 18 or the "Comforter") Muhammed couldn't have cared less for such things because, to him, Allah was basically an Arab at heart.
Perhaps the classic case of Muhammed's wrinkle in time is in Sura 19:27-28 where he has Mary, mother of Jesus, addressed as Maryam, "the sister of Aaron." This represents a lapse of about 1400 years between Mary and Aaron!
We can not dare not use Islamic or Arab writings regarding the history of the Middle East.
Our story develops on the record of the Bible and the ancient cuneiform and epigraphic discoveries which pre-date Islam by up to 3000 years.

Allah means God in Arabic or the Universal God. Creator of every single thing!
The entity of God, Indeed, the creator of Seas, Mountains, Forests, Skies, Men, Angels, Beasts and whatever comes to mind also any that does not.

By cursing the Allah you are cursing God, think about what you are doing before you do it.
The testification of faith in Islam is as follows:
"There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God."
Even in English there is power in those words. There is plurality in gods there is just one, God.
Muslims use Allah because this word encompasses all his attributes in one word.

Not ALL of the scriptures are in disagreement.
Let's start with the fact that God promised Hagar that Ishmael's descendants would be blessed and number like the stars.

Allah = God = your maker. They are one in the same. Only difference is the language the name is spoken in.
