Who Is Allah?

We know today that Islam worships a god named Allah. But who is Allah?

In an interview done by Charles Gibson, President George W Bush said we all worship the same God. Here are his words:

Gibson: "Do we all worship the same God, Christian and Muslim?"
Bush: "I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty."
Gibson: "Do Christians and non-Christians and Muslims go to heaven in your mind?"
Bush: "Yes they do. We have different routes of getting there."


Later, on Arab television, President Bush also said:

"I believe in an almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God."
"I believe there is a universal God. I believe the God that the Muslim prays to is the same God that I pray to. After all, we all came from Abraham. I believe in that universality."

WOW. It might sound nice on the surface, but do we all worship the same God?
Is Allah the same as Yahweh?

HISTORY OF ALLAH

The people of Arabia (prior to Islam) were known to worship a moon god. This moon god has had several names over the years (and depending on whether in Arabia or elsewhere).





























The names of this moon god are known to have been: Allah, Hubal, Sin, and Wadd. Notice the crescent moon on the front of the statue? Have you seen that crescent moon anywhere else?
What religion do these countries serve?











Why do mosques (Islamic “churches”) have the crescent moon symbolized at the top of their minarets?







































Islam is worshipping a moon god- NOT the God of the Bible!




An interesting section of scripture can be found in Judges 8:21-
“…And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.”
Examining the Hebrew roots of “the ornaments”, we see:

Pronunciation:
sah-har-one'

noun masculine
In Hebrew:
Mynrhvh 2, Mynrhvhw 1
In NET:
crescent-shaped ornaments 2, crescent shaped ornaments 1
In AV:
ornament 2, round tires like the moon 1
Definition:
1) moon, crescent1a) as ornament

We can conclude that these were crescent shaped ornaments found on the camel’s necks. This is further evidence of the moon worship found in the region prior to Islam's "revealing".

God gives clear instruction regarding the worship of the moon:

Deuteronomy 4:19
“And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.”


HOW CAN WE KNOW THAT ALLAH IS NOT THE SAME AS YAHWEH?

Jesus said:

John 8:20
…"If you knew me, you would know my Father also."



John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.



John 14:17
"If you knew me, you would know my Father also."



John 14:9
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?



John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.




Jesus makes it clear that you must accept Jesus as the Son of God in order to know the true God, Yahweh.

Islam is clear about it’s belief that Jesus was merely a prophet, and NOT the Son of God. They also do not believe that Jesus was crucified nor came back from the dead. They even believe that it is an utter BLASPHEMY to say that Jesus is the Son of God, or to believe in the Trinity.





















ANTICHRIST SPIRIT

1 John 4:2-3
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.



1 John 2:22-23
Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.



2 John 1:7-8
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.





Muslims have been fooled by the deceiver. Once again, I will leave you with the warning:
8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.
