The Muslims claim:
‘THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER.’
Who is Allah?
Many people mistakenly say Allah is just another name for the Biblical God. They say it is the same God Abraham worshipped and we worship, except they call him Allah.
Comparing the two shows us Allah IS NOT the same as the God of the Bible!!!
ALLAH chose Hagar and her son Ishmael for his covenant. (A covenant that appears not to need a Savior, but is based on man's doings)
THE GOD OF OUR BIBLE chose Abraham's other son, ISAAC, the son of promise, as heir to His Covenant. Gen. 17:19-21 (A covenant based on God's Promises, in which Christ is the true Israel, and all who are in Him are Abraham's seed.[Gal. 3:29])
ALLAH is singular, aloof, and says the biblical teaching that Christ is the Son of God is blasphemous. In fact they go so far as to say,
"for the Christians to call Christ the Son of God is to imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. God's curse upon them." (Sura at-taubah, 30)
The Qur'an Says:
"Those who believe that Allah has a son must be admonished since this is a monstrous blasphemy and falsehood (18:4-6).
Allah has never begotten a son and there are no deities beside him (23:91).
Jews say that Ezra is the son of Allah while the Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah. May Allah destroy them. They are both perverted. They worship rabbis, monks and the Messiah, the son of Mary, as Lords besides Allah in opposition to the monotheistic command given them (9:30, 31).
Allah is only one. He is too transcendent and majestic to have a son. The Messiah is not ashamed to be a slave of Allah (5:72,73).
THE GOD OF OUR BIBLE is "ONE GOD" yet it is not singular, for He revealed Himself through the Son Jesus Christ, who is declared as God. (Heb. 1:1,8) "Let US, make man, in OUR image, in the image of God. (Gen. 1:26,27)
ALLAH advocates salvation by works
THE GOD OF OUR BIBLE pays the atonement price with His own Blood and writes His laws upon our hearts.
Allah is not the God of heaven.
History records that Allah originated as a purely Arabic Deity. Allah already existed in Mecca before Muhammad. The god Sin, "The Controller of the Night," had the crescent moon as his emblem, and the lunar-based calendar, which became the primary religious symbols of Islam, was worshipped in Arabia as AI-Ilah Lord of the Ka'aba. So the tribe to which Muhammad belonged was already worshipping AI-Ilah – the moon God. Allah is still associated with the crescent moon of the lunargoddess.
ALLAH was represented by a black stone which was believed to have come down from heaven. This black stone is supposedly a sign or symbol of being the corner stone in the Kingdom of Allah. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?” (Matthew 21:42); “The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof” (Matthew 21:43). The Moslems, understand these verse to mean that Jesus (who they say was a prophet like Mohammed) made it clear the rejected stone in the prophecy (21:42) meant a rejected nation and that this rejected nation was none other than the Ishmaelites which have now been given what the Israelites (21:43). History, they say, has shown this to be the case.
Yet, the Bible tells us that Christ is the cornerstone!
Eph.2:20 "Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone";
