Im going to guide you through my questions one by one, i've studied mind control and Physocology ... I asked the simple obvious questions on purpose to get you thinking and to guide you as i post along.
Frankly ... What hits me the most is ... Moses, Abraham, And all the great prophets and people preached about Yahweh, they NEVER Mentioned Islam or Allah ... Then suddenly ... 600 years after Jesus OUT OF THE BLUE ... Comes a man named Mohammed, who is illiterate, who could not read or write his own mother tongue, who had a disgraceful number of wives (14 wives i think), whose Parents were Pagan's, Who saw a Phoney angel who IMMEDAITELY Denied Jesus as being God and being crucified, and then comes Islam on the world Scene preaching ANOTHER GOSPEL when Jesus told you and the rest of my fellow Muslim brothers that dont let anybody preach another gospel to you? Isa could Do miracles and read other peoples minds/thoughts the Quran even says, and yet Muhammed was greater? He even tried committing suicide several times and married a girl aged 6, and he's the greatest prophet? Come on man i dont buy that garbage, thats insulting peoples intelligence and an assault on Common sense.
I really cant beleive your so fooled and deceived, Satan loves gullible people, 1.6 Gullible muslims out there tonight that dont know they're real history. Im going to show you your history and provide as much facts and evidence i can to back my claims. Those scriptures about Idol worship are only helping to dig the grave for Islam's death, i'll clarify this later in this thread by showing you more about the moon god. Fasten to your seat-belt and listen to what i have to say and what Jesus wants you to know, it will save your Soul, your Immortal Soul.
================ Origin Of The Word Allah ===============
Firstly ... The word Allah is not your god's name ... It is Generic ... The Hebrew for Elohim, is also Generic, Elohim is not the name of God, YHWH or Yahweh is the name of Our God. In the same way, the word Allah is not the name of your god. I want to show you that today.
The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic word, al-ilah. Al is the definite article "the" and ilah is an Arabic word for "god", i.e. the god. We see immediately that (a) this is not a proper name but a generic name rather like the Hebrew El (which as we have seen was used of any deity; and (b) that Allah is not a foreign word (as it would have been if it had been borrowed from the Hebrew Bible) but a purely Arabic one. It would also be wrong to compare "Allah" with the Hebrew or Greek for God (El and Theos, respectively), because "Allah" is purely an Arabic term used exclusively in reference to an Arabic deity.
The Encyclopedia of Religion says: "'Allah' is a pre-Islamic name ... corresponding to the Baylonian Bel" (ed. James Hastings, Edinburgh, T. & T. Clark, 1908, I:326).
Further Evidence:
1 - * "Ilah ... appears in pre-Islamic poetry ... By frequency of usage, al-ilah was contracted to allah, frequently attested to in pre-Islamic poetry" (Encyclopedia of Islam, eds. Lewis, Menage, Pellat, Schacht; Leiden: E.J.Brill, 1971, III:1093)
2 - * The origin of this (Allah) goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is not a common name meaning "God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity" (Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, ed. James Hastings, Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1908, I:326)
3 - * The moon-god was called al-ilah, the god, which was shortened to Allah in pre-Islamic times. The pagan Arabs even used Allah in the names they gave to their children. For example, both Muhammad's father and uncle has Allah as part of their names. The fact that they were given such names by their parents proves that Allah was the title for the moon-god even in Muhammad's day. Professor Coon says, "Similarly, under Muhammad's tutelage, the relatively anonymous Ilah, became Al-Ilah, The God, of Allah, the Supreme Being" (Ibid.).
4 - * This fact answers the questions: "Why is Allah never defined in the Quran?" and "Why did Muhammad assume that the pagan Arabs already knew who Allah was?"
Further Evidence of the Origin of the word Allah from Al-Ilah ...
Allah
The name of God in Arabic. It is a compound word from the article, 'al, and ilah, divinity, and signifies "the god" par excellence. This form of the divine name is in itself a sure proof that ilah was at one time an appellative, common to all the local and tribal gods. Gradually, with the addition of the article, it was restricted to one of them who took precedence of the others; finally, with the triumph of monotheism, He was recognized as the only true God. In one form or another this Hebrew root occurs in all Semitic languages as a designation of the Divinity; from Catholic Encyclopedia @ http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01316a.htm
MICROSOFT Encarta Encyclopedia 2004: Allah (Arab aluminium-ilah: the God), in the Islam name for God . The Islamic conception of God is related to that of the Judentums and the Christianity.
Allah was already admired by the before-Islamic Arabs, however not as only God, but as high God, which withdrew in the cult behind other Gods. This high God, which stood with the Kaaba in Mekka in connection, became frequently simple as?der God? called; and in such a way the name became aluminium-ilah Allah by constant use. Mohammed transferred the name already existing to and only God, when its Prophet he understood itself. From http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... 8%26sa%3DN
In the current Arabic Bible versions, 'God' (myhla) is uniformly rendered Allah, but when 'the Lord God' (myhla hA'hy.) occurs, it is rendered ar-rabbu-l-ilahu, 'the Lord, the Ilah,' where 'the Ilah' is an uncontracted form, retaining its force of a common noun with the article, from which Allah has been shortened through usage. The Muslim, too, who usually derives and explains Ilah as meaning 'worshipped,' uses it and its plural Aliha in the broadest way, of any god, explaining that such is possible because worshippers believe that their god has a claim to worship, and 'names follow beliefs; not what the thing is in itself' (Lisan, xvii. 358). But more ordinarily, in referring to the gods of the heathen, a Muslim speaks simply of their images or idols, asnam, authan. from http://www.dabar.org/Religion/Hastings/ ... Allah.html
Further evidence to shut you up OneGod ...
The Hebrew title of God is "Elohim;" in Arabic it's "Allah." These two words for God have a common bond that most people don't understand. Both of these words have their origin in pagan deities of the ancient past
The Arab Christian's and Arabic Bibles use the word Allah like the Hebrew Generic word for God called Elohim. So for one, the word Allah is NOT the name of your god. It is a generic term.
Further Evidence for you if you still cant see properly ...
Webster’s Dictionary gives the definition and etymology of Allah as follows. Allah is the Muslim name for "the God." Allah is derived from two words "al," which means "the" and "ilah," which is related to the feminine Hebrew word for God, "eloah."
Now the Hebrew title or name for God is 'Elohim' and it is the plural form of eloah. It is made plural by adding "im," which is masculine. This corresponds to adding "s" to make a word plural in English. So the commonality between Allah and Elohim is "eloah" and "ilah."
According the Huston Smith’s book The World’s Religions (p. 222), it states: "Allah is formed by joining the definite article al meaning ‘the’ with Ilah (God). Literally, Allah means ‘The God.’ … When the masculine plural ending im is dropped from the Hebrew word for God, Elohim, the two words sound much alike." Eloah (Hebrew feminine) is similar to Ilah (God). Both Elohim and Allah are titles and not names.
Encyclopedia Britannica Micropedia (Vol. 1; p. 250) states the following about Allah. "Etymologically, Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic al-ilahh, "the God," although the Aramaic Alaha has also been proposed. The origin of the name can be traced to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for god was Il or El, the latter bring in the Old Testament synonym for Yahweh. Know to Arabs even in pre-Islamic times, Allah is standard Arabic for God And is used by Arab Christians as well as Muslims."
Further proof ...
Allah (الله) is the Arabic word for God. It is compounded of "Al" (أَل), the definite article 'the', and "ilah" (إِله), meaning "god". Therefore, Allah literally means "The God"--somewhat parallel to the capitalized "God" in English. It is used by Muslims world-wide, as well as Arabic-speaking Christians, Jews, and others.
From an Islamic point of view, Allah is the special name of God and is the most precious name because it is not a descriptive name like other Ninety-nine names of Allah, but the name of God's own presence from http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Allah

==================== Conclusion ====================
The word Allah comes from Al-ilah and is NOT the name of your god. Period.
