Why Allah is not The Lord God

I analyze Surah 46: The Sandhills, and explain how the "god" of the Koran is not the God of Israel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and the Church.

[DuncanWaring]

Easy - the Lord God commands us to love our enemies.

Allah commands his followers to kill their enemies.

[Steven W.]

The name of the one and true God is Jehovah. This other character goes by the name Allah. They are different.

[Delta 21]

According to the New Testament of the Bible the God Elohim of Israel has a Son
- Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

According to the Quran
Allah has no son, isnt male or female.

Therefore, the Biblical New Testament Christian God of Israel worshiped by Christians is not nor can be the ‘Allah’ worshiped by followers of Islam.

[af_vet_1981]

That is an argument from ignorance.

The Arabic word for God is Allah, as the Hebrew word for God is El, Elohim, etc.

When it comes to linguistics, it’s important to remember Arabic is a Semitic language closely related to biblical Hebrew and biblical Aramaic. The Arabic word for God, “Allah,” is closely related to its Semitic cognates El and Elohim in Hebrew and the definite form Elaha in Aramaic. Indeed, Christians need only look to the original language of Scripture itself for evidence of this connection. In Daniel 2:28 we see that the indefinite form of “God” in Aramaic is closely related to “El” in Hebrew and “Allah” in Arabic. The connection to the Arabic cognate is even more apparent when looking at the definite form in Aramaic, such as “the living God” in Daniel 6:26. Indeed, the Arabic form of God is often understood as referring to “the deity” (al-ilah).

These linguistic connections should allay any fears among Western Christians over using “Allah” in Arabic to refer to the God of the Bible, whether in a Bible translation or in theological writings and materials. It’s important in such discussions for Western Christians to guard against dictating to non-English speaking persons what word or words they should use in their own languages to refer to God, particularly if the Westerners weighing in have no knowledge of the languages or cultures they’re critiquing.

Phew! I'm glad I saw that one just in time. I was just this very moment about to bugger a camel, mutilate my daughter's privates and blow myself up.

"By the way they sprinkle a little Hebrew into their evangelical Christian missives ye shall know them."

Golux, Post 7 - 1.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Allah has no power here.

[Truthoverpower]

Islam = evil

Mad mo = Satan

[A strike]

So you say.

Present day real world Allah is the god of Islam and none other.
“Allahu akbar” means ONLY the god of Islam is greatest.

Don’t believe me, take it up with ANY Muslim.

[unlearner]

The God of Islam is not the God of Christianity.

However, the Arabic word for God is Allah. Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use the term “Allah” the same way we use “God” in English. In fact, Allah is the word for God in the Arabic scriptures of Christians and Jews—not just the Arabic version of the Koran.

It is important to understand this and not rant about things in ignorance.

God is the English or Anglicized version of God’s title. The same is true of the name of Jesus.

Otherwise, all of us must learn the original Biblical languages in order to be a true Christian.

But Christians who are not ignorant of where our Bible comes from will know that God chose to provide us scriptures that were originally written in Hebrew AND Greek (Koine, not modern Greek). This shows that the message of Christ is not restricted to a single language.

[nonsporting]

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:22,23)

Muslims don't have God the Son, nor God the Father. What do they have?

[faucetman]

The god of the Koran is a FAKE, made up, god by the pedophile barbarian Mohammed.

NO ONE EVER SAW Allah. NO ONE EVER HEARD Allah except Mohammed, so he said. Allah is totally made up. Fiction.

Islam is to Christianity, what Kwanzaa is to Christmas.

[Secret Agent Man]

And me exercising my self control not to kill my enemies IS me loving my enemies.

[Rastus]

Somebody better let George W. Bush know.

[OddLane]

I think it's complex because Christians living in pre-Islamic Arabia used that term, but this is a good explanation of the differences between Allah and other Gods-including the God of the Bible.

Is Allah the same as Yahweh?

[vespa300]

No Jesus, no God. Even God the Father refers to Christ as God. Hebrews 8:1

[CurlyDave]

...Easy - the Lord God commands us to love our enemies.

Allah commands his followers to kill their enemies...

You really need to read Numbers 31, the whole thing all the way through. It is only a page, maybe a page and a half.

[MHGinTN]

Lighten up francis. The god of Islam is satan, which therefore makes him/it not The God Who created the UNiverse.

[RoosterRedux]

Allah is god, perhaps. But not God.
