Allah is a satanic fabrication.

False; Allah is an Arabic word construct equivalent to Hebrew El/Elohim. Are you ignorant of the Arabic language ? Do you willfully, and with malice in your heart, blaspheme "The God" of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob of your Arabic speaking brethren ?

This article is about the Arabic word "Allah". For the Islamic view of God, see God in Islam. For other uses, see Allah (disambiguation).

The word 'Allah' in Arabic calligraphy Allah (English pronunciation: /ˈælə/, /ˈɑːlə/ or /əlˈlɑː/;[1][2] Arabic: الله‎ Allāh, IPA: [ʔalˤˈlˤɑːh]) is the Arabic word for God (al ilāh, literally "the God"), referring to the God in Abrahamic religions.[3][4][5] The word has cognates in other Semitic languages, including Elah in Aramaic, ʾĒl in Canaanite and Elohim in Hebrew.[6][7]

It is now mainly used by Muslims to refer to God in Islam,[8] but is also used by Arab Christians since pre-Islamic times.[9] It is also often, albeit not exclusively, used by Bábists, Bahá'ís, Indonesian and Maltese Christians, and Mizrahi Jews.[6][10][11] Christians and Sikhs in West Malaysia also use and have used the word to refer to God. This has caused political and legal controversies there as the law in West Malaysia prohibits non-Islamic uses of the word.[12][13][14][15]

We have been through this quite a few times. “Allah” in the Qur’an does not have The Name YHWH. The use of The Name YHWH is what separates Jews and Christians from the other false religions who invoke the general “god” or “God” term.

And I am pretty sure our Arab Christian brethren know the above distinction.

There’s one sure fire way to resolve if we are talking past each other.

Is the God or ‘Allah’ revealed to Muhammad YHWH? Meaning did YHWH reveal Himself to Muhammad? I will take your emphatic ‘no’ in advance.
