Where Did Allah Come From?

^_^ hello, please share your idea on this one.. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1584471.aspx?p=2#1_8754929 thanks..

Mohammad share the previous scriptures. Quran says it is truth and agree with previous scriptures. All previous scriptures also came from Allah and previous prophets were assigned by Allah.

harley009.. ^_^ prove that Muhammad is sinless.. before you go trough with your faith..

As I said, Arabs were using the Word 'Allah' before the arrival of Prophet Mohammad itself, Because previous scriptures specify the name of Allah. The Hebrew 'Eloh', Aramaic 'Alah' sound same as Allah. The pronunciation of aplphabets much differ with English in such languages. Eg. Yeshuwa/Iesa/ Eisa.. There is a letter ? in Arabic which is pronounced from upper throat its sound is a mixture of Y/I/E. The Meccan people those who did not believe in Prophet Mohammad also believed in one God "Allah" and Quran says about it. But those people believed in some intermediaries to reach their request to Allah. Laata, Manata, Uzza was among the intermediaries. Actually Lata, Manata and Uzza were the past spiritual/Social leaders of them, later the people mis-guided and began to pray through Lata, Manata, Uzza etc. They made the Idols of Laata, Manata, Uzza, Prophet Abraham etc. Creation of Idols was actually prohibited the root scriptures of them but they made it. They may have the moon concept, but I don't know about it. Anyway Islams has nothing to do with moon-god. Muslims calls the One and only one God as Allah. moon is nothing but a creation of God. The symbol nowadays used came just as a tradition of keeping the identification symbol for prayer houses, but that symbol is no-where related to any beliefs and no Muslims pray to that symbol and no significance to it as a God.

^_^ read my comment on nadams80 at no. 7..

First of all Abraham was a Jew, by tribe and religion, there is no evidence he was a Muslim. Secondly Jesus is not Issa but Yesuha and Yesuha was a Jew by both tribe and religion. Thirdly, Christian practices started in the Celtic Church in Galica by those that walked the earth with Yeshua. Where is it proven that Paul was a liar? Fourthly, both Paul and Peter yielded authority on matters concerning the Church to Yesuh's brother James the Just. all the best urban

Being their is no "J" in either the Hebrew or Arabic language I suppose it is safe to assume that the name "Jesus" or "Jehovah" would not exist during these Biblical times.

There are 73 different sects of Islam worldwide, so to categorize everyone into the same box is just ridiculous and it is unimaginable that everyone think the same, no matter what the religion. Just as the Catholic, Episcopalian, Methodist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, etc. exist, there exist the Sunni Orthodox. Shiite, Ansaaru, Nation Of Islam, etc...

Whether or not Sin is the same as Syn nevertheless he was a moon god as countless archaeological finds associated with Sin show by the presence of the crescent moon. This god was held to be the chief of the powers divine by Arabs and worship of him was active during Muhammad's lifetime. Although his name was Sin his title was al- ilah (The deity). Even before Muhammad this had become shortened to Allah, indeed Muhammad's father and uncle both had Allah as part of their name. Hope that sheds some light all the best urban

^_^ you just don't want to believe, because the truths hurt.. read the Bible so that you may know.. did the Archaeologist depending on Koran on the History?? of course not.. they are guided by the Bible... so that they can locate or name what place is that or this...

You've missed the whole point! Let me see if I can put this in plainer english. There was a discovery of a moongod in Babylon called Su-en. Another discovery made and assiociated with the Arabs had a similar name and was therefore automatically assumed to also be a moongod. However what my explanation above is saying is that most prominent scholars agree that the Sin accociated with the Arabs cannot in fact be assumed to a moongod. The statue you are referring to with moon symbols is in fact another archeological discovery in Hazor (a large Canaanite and Isrealite city) of a man seated holding a cup in one hand. Again most prominent scholars refer to the statue as a man, priest, king or diety. The reason they cannot be sure is that there is no actual inscriptions (epigraphic evidence much like hieroglyphics) to indicate that it is actually a moongod. Another reason is that it seems illogical that a god should hold offering vessels in his hand as the god is usually the one who receives the offerings. Although Robert Morey claimed in his book that the statue is that of a moongod and regardless of the difference of opinions regarding the nature of the statue, no scholar has ever identified this statue with a 'moongod'. These scholars and writings I refer to are the following: 'Encyclopedia of archeological excavations in the holy land' by Yadin 'The new encyclopedia of archeological excavations in the holy land' by Amnon Ben-Tor 'Treasures of the holy land: Art from the Isreal museum' As you can see I have not just made a claim but supported it with evidence.

But note he is not asking where Allah came from but where their understanding of Allah's nature comes from all the best urban

nadams80.. looks like you don't get want i want to open up.. don't you? ^_^ are you a Muslim? if you are, you should know your History.. you said Allah is like the God in the Bible which is omnipresent etc., well i will said in evidence and proven that you are wrong.. ^_^ (Islam, p. 7) stated that... the moon god has many names.. one of its name is Allah..

Islam p. 7 what book is this? What are you referring to? ALLAH = meaning "the All"

meenn.. you really don't know the History.. back to you later.. if i can finished my task today.. ^_^ i will prove that to you.. please wait..

^_^ meenn you missed the biggest part.. where then Isaac go, the one that God promised to Abraham??.. Ishmael is the son of Hagar who is an Egyptian handmaiden of Sarah.. read the Genesis again bro... he is not the promised one of God.. you still don't know the history... does stoning on your obelisk in mecca can really hit the devil.. ??? try to search what is the origin of the obelisk.. so that you may know..

^_^ [Thousands of inscriptions from walls and rocks in northern Arabia have also been collected. Reliefs and votive bowls used in worship of the "daughters of Allah" have also been discovered. The three daughters, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat are sometimes depicted together with Allah the moon-god represented by a crescent moon above them (North Arabian archaeological finds concerning Al-Lat are discussed in: * Isaac Rabinowitz, Aramaic Inscriptions of the Fifth Century, JNES, XV, 1956, pp.1-9; * Another Aramaic Record of the North Arabian goddess Han'Llat, JNES, XVIII, 1959, pp.154-55 * Edward Linski, The Goddess Atirat in Ancient Arabia, in Babylon and in Ugarit: Her Relation to the Moon-god and the Sun-goddess, Orientalia Lovaniensia Periodica, 3:101-9 * H.J.Drivers, Iconography and Character of the Arab Goddess Allat, found in Études Preliminaries Aux Religions Orientales Dans L'Empire Roman, ed. Maarten J. Verseren, Leiden, Brill, 1978, pp.331-51 ] "South Arabia's stellar religion has always been dominated by the Moon-god in various variations" (Berta Segall, The Iconography of Cosmic Kingship, the Art Bulletin, vol.xxxviii, 1956, p.77). In 1944, G. Caton Thompson revealed in her book, The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidah, that she had uncovered a temple of the moon-god in southern Arabia. The symbols of the crescent moon and no less than 21 inscriptions with the name Sîn were found in this temple.

^_^ yes bro i get your point.. but muslim claims that Abraham offers Ishmael not Isaac.. If that is their claims then we don't have same God coz in Genesis.. Abraham offers Isaac not Ishmael.. you get my point.. if their Qur'an have such claims then the one who wrote it is not worshiping the real and one only true God.. in fact in Qur'an you cannot see the name or word "Ishmael" offered by Abraham.. it only said.. son, no specific name.. its in Surah 37:99-106 so to conclude, it has a probability that it is a collection of books.. to fit their religions..

Arabs did not worship the moon God but they did worshiped idols. But when the God of Abraham chose Muhammad to be his prophet, Muhammad peace be upon him saved them all from idolatry and deliver to them the message of God and that is Islamic Monotheism.

ill just give you a task.. prove that Muhammad is sinless..

^_^ you have said above that my sentence is not ok.. then look at yours.. "Allah in NOT".. is your mouth ok?? before you go in Qur'an examine first your Muhammad... who taught him?? He kissed and caressed the idol of black stone set into the wall of the Kabah. (Muslim vol. II, no. 2912, 2916).. is that idolatry??
