For those people who study both Islam and the Bible, it is clearly
obvious that Allah of Islam is not YHWH, the God of the Bible and the
creator God.
Here I will present just ten reasons which should prove to any serious person that Allah is not God.
1.The Name of God
Muslims
say they believe in the prophet Moses, yet they do not recognize
or acknowledge the unique name that God gave to Moses.
When Moses
encountered the burning bush at Mount Horeb, he was told that the name
of God was YHWH forever. [Exodus 3:14-15] Jesus used the first person of
YHWH when he said “I AM”. [John 8:58] The Quran makes no mention of the
special name for God and uses Allah which means “the God”. There were
360 idols in the Kaaba during Mohammed’s time called Allah. Allah is
just a generic name for “the God”.
The names for God can’t be reconciled. Allah is not God.
2. God’s Laws for mankind
Moses
received the Ten Commandments on two stone tablets from God on the
mountain top. These commandments are the basis for laws recognized by
both Jew and Christian. In fact, Jesus stated that : “Do not think that I
have come to abolish the Law. I have come to fulfill the law, and until heaven
and earth pass away, not one stroke of a letter will pass from the Law”.
[Matthew 5:17-18] Sharia Law which is based on the Quran and Mohammed
completely rejects the Ten Commandments and Mohamed broke most of the
commandments on a regular basis.
If you follow Sharia law you
will certainly break the Ten Commandments and this denies the teaching
of Jesus. Jesus went further and said that whoever breaks the law and
teaches others to do the same is considered “the least in Heaven”.
[Matthew 5:19] That makes Mohammed the least in Heaven.
Allah’s laws are contradictory to God’s laws. Allah is not God.
3. God’s Plan for Mankind
God
revealed his plan for mankind through his prophets, starting with Psalm
2 about 1,000BC where he revealed the begotten son, and in Psalm 22 he
revealed details of the crucifixion that Jesus would endure and then in Malachi 3:1 God tells us that the coming Messiah would be He Himself.
God announces a begotten Son; Allah denies a begotten Son
“You
are my Son: today I have begotten you. I will make the nations your
heritage and the ends of the earth your possession”. [Psalm 2:7-8]
But 1600 years later, the Quran denies what is written in the Psalms.
“He
is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have
children when He has no wife? He created all things and He is the
All-Knower of everything”. [Sura 6.101]
So here Allah denies what God has stated.
God announces the Holy Trinity; Allah denies the Holy Trinity
God’s eternally begotten Son is part of the Trinity.
“From
the time it came to be, I have been there, and now the Lord God has
sent me and His Spirit”. [Isaiah 48:16] Here is God the Father, Jesus
the Son and the Holy Spirit as spoken by the prophet Isaiah.
Yet from Sura 5:73, the Quran denounces the Trinity.
“They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah”.
God announces the crucifixion; Allah denies the crucifixion
The
virgin birth [Isaiah 7:14] and birth in Bethlehem [Mica 5:2] foretold
Jesus appearance. Details of the crucifixion were given in Psalm 22 and
Isaiah 53, the betrayal for 30 pieces of silver in Zechariah 11 and that
the sun would go down at noon was in Amos 8:9. However Allah denies all
this in Sura 4:157.
“That they said (in boast), "We killed
Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed
him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them”.
God
announces the sonship and describes the crucifixion about 1000BC and
announces the Holy Trinity about 700BC, but Allah denies each element of
God’s plan. Allah is not God.
God tells us in Malachi 3:1 that the coming messiah would be He Himself...
"Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before ME:
Allah denies that Jesus is God, but states that Jesus was only a prophet. God says that He and Jesus are the same, and Jesus says that He and God the Father are the same.
God and Allah are not the same.
4. God demands separation of church and state
From
Abraham to Moses to Jesus, there was a strict separation of church and
state. Abraham was served with wine by High Priest Melchizedek. [Genesis
14] Moses was served by High Priest Aaron and Jesus acted as the High
Priest and served his disciples with wine. [Matthew 26:26-29] There is a
story in 1 Samuel 13 where king Saul performed priestly duties and God
removed his kingship because of this. God demanded separation of church
and state. Jesus also said to “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God's”
enforcing the separation of church and state. Islam demands
totalitarianism and also has banned wine.
Again, the two are not the same
5. God’s Holy city is Jerusalem
Jerusalem
is the Holy city of God and Jerusalem is mentioned in the Torah over
660 times and in the New Testament 154 times. The book of Revelation in
chapter 21 states that a new Jerusalem will arrive indicating that
Jerusalem is God’s Holy city forever. Mecca is not mentioned once by
name in the Bible.
Mecca is the Holy city of Allah and Jerusalem is not mentioned once by name in the Quran.
God and Allah claim two different Holy cities that can never be reconciled. Allah is not God.
6. The Dome of the Rock
In
637AD when caliph Umar captured Jerusalem he told Bishop Sophronius
that they would build a shrine to Allah’s prophet on the Holy mountain.
Sophronius understood a prophecy of Daniel which called this an
abomination that desolates. The prophecy starts in 583BC, the 23rd year
of Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, when the last group of 745 people were
taken to Babylon, and so the regular burnt offerings ceased. [Jeremiah
52:30] Now the scope of this prophecy is 1290 years of 360 days or 1271
solar years. Coming forward from 583BC by 1271 years we come to 688AD.
Caliph Abdul Malik built the Dome of the Rock between 685 and 691AD, so
688AD is the midpoint of the building program.
So the shrine to Allah’s prophet is called an Abomination that Desolates by God.
Mohammed
is not mentioned even once in the Bible and Jesus said that only false
prophets would come after him. That makes Mohammed a false prophet.
Allah is not God.
7. The Fate of Mecca
Even
though Mecca is not mentioned by name in the Bible, it is referred to in
allegorical language as the harlot city and the Love Peddler of Babylon
in Revelation 17 & 18. Babylon the mother of whores and abominations
is drunk with the blood of the saints and the witnesses to Jesus
[Revelation 17:5-6]. Mecca is the spiritual head of Islam and in her
name millions of Jews and Christians have been slaughtered after cries
of “Allahu Akbar”, and the slaughter continues today. Mecca and Medina
(Yathrib) are the two most Holy sites in Islam, yet strangely in Islamic
eschatology, both are destroyed. Consider now the two relevant
prophecies.
“The final battle will be waged by faithful Muslims
coming on the backs of horses, carrying black banners. They will stand
on the east side of the Jordan river and will wage war that the Earth
has never seen before. The true Messiah who is the Islamic Mahdi, will
defeat Europe, will lead this army of Seljuks. He will preside over the
world from Jerusalem because Mecca would have been destroyed.” [Yawm
Al-Ghadab, Safar Alhwaly]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
The flourishing state of Jerusalem will be when Yathrib is in ruins, the
ruined state of Yathrib will be when the great war comes, the outbreak
of the great war will be at the conquest of Constantinople and the
conquest of Constantinople when the Dajjal (Antichrist) comes forth. He
(the Prophet) struck his thigh or his shoulder with his hand and said:
This is as true as you are here or as you are sitting (meaning Mu'adh
ibn Jabal)”. [Sunan of Abu Dawud Book 37, Number 4281: Narrated Mu'adh
ibn Jabal]
God hates Mecca and will destroy it. Allah can’t stop the destruction of his holy city. Allah is not God.
8. God’s enemies are Allah’s supporters
There
are numerous places in the Bible where God names the nations who will
fight against him and with the Antichrist. In the famous seventy weeks
prophecy, it is the people of the Antichrist who destroy the temple in
70AD. The soldiers of the Roman legion X Fretensis under General Titus
were from Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Arabia. These nations today whose
people destroyed the second temple in 70AD are Islamic. In Psalm 83,
Isaiah 13-24 and Ezekiel 28-32 and 38, the nations named as following
the Antichrist are Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Iran, Saudi
Arabia, Egypt, Sudan and Libya.
The Bible is consistent in naming Islamic countries where people follow Allah as the followers of the Antichrist.
Allah is not God.
9. God created mankind as equals, Allah didn’t
The Bible states clearly that all are equal in God’s eyes, but this is not true with Allah.
Allah describes a hierarchy for mankind.
Arab male Muslims are the best of people (and Arabic is the language in Heaven)
White male Muslims are next in importance
Black male Muslims are next
Women Muslims are the lowest order of the believers
Non Muslims or infidels are the vilest of creatures. [Sura 8:55]
God states all people are equal, Allah does not agree. Allah is not God.
10. God hates what Allah allows
The Bible states clearly in the book of Proverbs 6:17-19 the six things that God hates.
Haughty eyes
A lying tongue
Hands that shed innocent blood
A heart that devises wicked plans
Feet that hurry to run to evil
A lying witness who testifies falsely.
God hates haughty eyes but Allah gives Muslims haughty eyes by telling them they are the best of people and unbelievers are the vilest of people;
God hates a lying tongue, but Allah allows Muslims to lie in Sura 16.106;
God hates hands that shed innocent blood yet Allah demands the killing of unbelievers, apostates, homosexuals, and even Muslims who don’t follow the true faith;
God
hates a heart that devises wicked plans yet Allah approves of Muslims
who want to destroy Israel, blow up infrastructure and plan to undermine
western democracies through lying and deceit;
God hates feet
that hurry to run to evil [/b]but Allah approves of Muslims who murder
poets and filmmakers and try to kill people who draw cartoons about
Mohammed;
God hates a lying witness yet Allah demands that a Muslim lies to protect or advance the cause of Islam.
From these six things that God hates, we see clearly that Allah is not God.
And then, just for good measure, let me add and eleventh one....
11. Let Allah be accursed
In Galatians 1:8,9 God tells us very clearly that if anyone...even an Angle from heaven comes and preaches any other Gospel other then what He preached, let them be accursed.
The Islamic teachings started hundreds of years after Jesus had these words penned. Allah preaches a completely different Gospel, even rejecting the teachings of Jesus all together.
Here I presented eleven of many truths that clearly show the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are not the same.
