Arabs include Christians and Jews who speak Arabic language as their mother tongue. In the Arabic-Bible the name "Allah" is written wherever "God" appears in the English-Bible. The Arabic-Bible printed in the U.S. also uses the name ''Allah'' on the first page of Genesis. Does that mean that Arab Christians are also worshiping the false moon god like the Muslims?

What you have mentioned is an example of tricks used by missionaries who claim to follow Jesus, peace be upon him, in order to deceive non-Arabic speaking followers.



If an American Christian Missionary were to tell an Arab Christian or Jew that the they worship a moon god, they would be instantly discredited as liars.

Allah is the arabic phrase for God. I feel it is the simplest phrase for God. So any God might be known as that during Arabic. Anyway, I do not htink it is unhealthy that Muslims and Christians do not suppose within the identical God. There's not anything unsuitable with that. One may also be simply as actual as the opposite. Muslims must have extra satisfaction of their possess God and accomplishments, alternatively than attempt to get Christians to receive their God as being the identical because the Christian God. Anyway, I nonetheless feel so much Muslims are well persons, so take care.

Muslims , Arab Christians and Jews dont believe in Moon God - They believe in God - who is the Ruler of the universe. Hindus and some other religions do believe in Sun God and Fire Gods.



Muslims dont fit in with Christians and Hindu religions because they have faith in ONE .



The defaming compaign against Muslims and the sufferings as a result has Upgraded their Standings in the after world.

The old Arabic (and other Semitic) word 'lah' means god. Similar to the Akkadian 'el' or 'elu', from where the name Babel (bab-elu = gateway to god) comes from.



al-Lah adds the definite article, meaning the one god.



This is a linguistic description - it says nothing about how the term has been used or interpreted over the ages.



Edit:

If you're referring to the common Islamic symbols of Crescent Moon and Star, this comes from the Ottoman Empire, who themselves took it from the Byzantine symbol of Constantinople when they captured the city in 1453 AD.



The symbol was in use while the city was called Byzantion. By tradition, it was founded in 667 BC as a Megaran colony, before later name changes to Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul.



The crescent represented the Greek god Artemis and was also associated with Hecate by some cults, and the star was added to represent the virgin Mary when Emperor Constantine I changed the official state religion to Christianity.



So, you could describe the symbol as representing Artemis, and has long been used by Greek pantheists and Christians before Muslims. It is still used by the Orthodox church in Jerusalem.



How you choose to interpret any symbol now is up to you.

Dude, you quote the Qu'ran in your profile but ask inflammatory questions as if you're a 700 Club fan. Muslims worship the same god of the Christians and the Jews, as you should know. No cross as a symbol, that's all. That is a Christian thing.

No. Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God, the "Abrahamic God" or "God of Abraham" as they say. These three groups worship the same one God each in their own different way.

ok u may not knwo that but allah is NOT the moon god. Muslims dont PRAY TO THE MOON. its just a symbol to represent it. like cristians have a cross. they dont pray the cross, they pray jessus. Allah we believe is a light. well anyways Allah to muslims is god, i dont think that jews and cristians should be using the name allah. But in arabic allah means god so, maybe thats why



gud luck

The name of the moon god was Hubal, this myth of Allaah being the moon-god originated from a Christian site:

See Hubal, not Allaah:
