He says the Islamic people revere God. Is that true? I've always wondered whether Allah was a rock god who mated with some sun god to make stars.
Detractors of this view claim that Allah is the arabized version of the Hebrew God, Eloyhim; however, the Hebrew God is not really named Eloyhim. I can't say the name of that God (my family is Bal T'ushava) but other people on this board know what I mean.
Yahweh- I am . Allah is NOT arabic for god, the word for that is "ilah." Allah is the NAME of their god, and was actually a contraction of "Al ilah ta'ala" (the god most high) This is what the pagan arabs called Sin or Hubal, their chief rock gods. They were "the gods most high" in the ka-aba, which was simply a pile of unhewn rocks piled around a well to keep the sand out, which gradually because a place were travelers put their rock gods.
Hubal had three daughters, which were literaly chips of stone that had broken off the black rock called hubal, they became known as Al Uza, Alat Manat.
