Why not Allah?

Question

There are hundreds of man-made gods, the creations of different cultures from around the world and throughout history. Allah is one of the most recent ones heard of and popularized mostly through the prophet Muhammad. Why would you think that Muslims are so willing to believe that Allah is a true god and that Muhammad wasn't just spinning yarns...?

...and if Allah is merely a made up god, could the same be true of Jesus and the god of Abraham? ... could it be, is it even possible, that they are all made-up creations, mere fantasies out of the minds of men?

... if not, why not? Please explain. (...and try to stay on the topic, won't you?)

Is it at all _ POSSIBLE_ by even a remote chance that God is only a man-made idea?

Answer 1

One only needs to begin study of the religions of the Egyptians and Ahkenaten to begin to see the foundation for present-day religions.

Add in influence from Hindus and it becomes even more clear.

Every culture has it's own creation stories, it's own "God". A combination of remnants of childhood memories under a powerful, all-knowing parent, and natural curiosity about the origin of life.

Study astrological connections to the "Jesus" story with Sirius, the morning star, arising at the winter solstice (Dec 25), bringing new life and defeating the darkness. (Days get longer and spring follows).

Put it all together and voila! It becomes crystal clear. Yes, God, Allah, Yahweh, etc. are all in the minds of men.

As for the people who say the Bible is scientifically correct, I say the Bible is not a science book. In the Bible the earth is flat, held up by pillars (like a giant oceanic oil-rig) and the sun revolves around the earth. The sky is a mirrored dome with the sun, moon and stars affixed to the underside. The moon creates it’s own light. Above the dome, God sits on a throne in heaven. God, who’s as strong as a unicorn, rides cherubs and came to earth to show his “back parts” to one man and wrestle with another. The Bible tells of unicorns, cockatrices, and satyrs. Snakes, trees and donkeys talk.

Add in the two different creation stories (apparently God forgot how he created things when he wrote the Bible).

A divine or alien being may well exist somewhere, but it is NOT the God of the Bible. (Judaism, Christianity and Islam describe the same God - the God of Abraham.) And it certainly is not concerned with whether Chrisitanity, Islam, or Hinduism is the CORRECT religion.

Answer 2

Allah would also be made up in a mans mind too right?

Personally my 2 things that keep my faith in one true God and Jesus is because of a #1I seen a healing and #2 I looked into the eyes of someone while playing on a oiji board and I seen her eyes glaze over with darkness and I called out to Jesus and it went away that was my experiences. So, that is why NOT Allah for me.
Hope you don't have to experience something like that.

Answer 3

Because God would not bring His Saviour into the world after 2000 years of preparatory instruction and messianic prophecies, providing a hugely expensive and full atonement. Then 600 years on go and contradict Himself and say "no, he was just a prophet, I failed to get the message across; humans corrupted what I inspired men to write."

The gift of the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God) is proof to christian believers (inter alia) that the message wasn't corrupted. You get evidence when you believe, in a way that is not possible with Mohammedanism, as the Holy Spirit is sent from the Father and the Son, and is given to honour the Son. Jesus' identity as God and Saviour denied by a person => Holy Spirit denied to a person.

Apparently Arab christians use the word 'Allah' for God.

Answer 4

Almighty GOD is ONE, call HIM by any name. But it should be a Beautiful one WITHOUT any Mental picture.

What we say that there is ONE GOD means HE is the same GOD for Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Athiests, Buddhists and all mankind.

Because GOD is ONE and for all mankind.

Therefore, if you say ALLAH, ELI, ELIAH, BRAHMA, all refer to GOD. We can best understand this from the Hindu Scripture example.

Hindus say GOD is Brahma. Which if translated into English means 'The Creator' and if translated into Arabic means 'Khaliq'

Therefore if you call Almighty GOD as 'The Creator' OR 'Khaliq' OR 'Brahma' it is ONE and the SAME.

BUT...

The trouble arises when the Hindus ascribe features to GOD that are NOT worthy for GOD. For example, they say Brahma is the GOD who has 10 heads, so and so hands, etc...

And this goes against the fundamentals of Islam, Judaism and Christianity (As per the Gospel of Barnabas) and even True Hinduism itself (Vedas are against this)...

Therefore, All religions speak about Monotheism BUT the True essence of Monotheism has now remained in Islam only as...

1. The Church has fabricated the Trinity and mis-lead the Chirstians from the True message of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him)

2. The Hindus do NOT read the Vedas and practice Idol worship which is against their own scriptures.

So my friend, Muhammed (PBUH) never fabricated 'ALLAH'. infact he was an illiterate man...

how could an illiterate man with no basic education 'write' a book that has NO parallel in Arabic literature???

'Write' a book that has information which is 100% in agreement with Modern Established Scientific Facts???

'Write' a book that explained about Future events (the victory of Roman empire over the persian empire.. etc...) that happened exactly as the Quran predicted???

Its ONLY one answer dude, Muhammed was a prophet and he got thi by Divine revelation from GOD. Again the same ONE and ONLY GOD....

Answer 5

Lets see now. You have Joseph Smith inventing mormonism, David Karesh pushing 7th day Adventism to new lows, Jimmy Jones making Koolaid famous, Mohammid creates Allah.
But Jesus made Christianity. Jesus helps us get holy in a way and to a degree that no other religiion can.

Answer 6

The God of the Bible revealed to Moses so many truths that only God could know for example ; the stars are to numeral to count; the heavens were stretched out; the earth is round;the sun, moon and planets hung on nothing to name just a few.

Answer 7

I do not think Allah is a man made god, created from a culture.

How could Muhammad, peace be upon him, have possibly known things that are being discovered only recently and that had already been quoted in the Quran centuries ago.?

Answer 8

i m a muslim n i see what u r trying to say.... good step u taking but it wont effect many ppl and bring em to acctually thnk abt it.... i'll tel u evidence abt Allah... sometimes u cut a tomato and thr it says "ALLAH" with seeds in arabic, u travel in space and see "ALLAH" written by the gysers of hot and cold water , u eat gava and see it there , few yeard back a man exposed his chest and there it was , written on his chest , what more can we get as proves for his existance?? nasa uses the holy book Quran for reference for many things..... so yeah Allah it is the creator and the benifitor

Answer 9

You look at logic and you decide for yourself if there is more than one god than the universe will not be going on such a perfect way. Such as, life, death, weather, feelings,planets, animals, circumstances that leads to right answers are all a plan from one God. Just use your mind.

Answer 10

All "gods" are the product of mans mind. We are, indeed, adrift in a godless universe. That's okay with me....judging from some of the tyranical imaginary gods people seem fond of following.
