Who Is This Allah?


Book Description

Is Allah the God of the Bible? In any of the one hundred and fifty sects and sub-sects of Islam, the common denominator is Allah. Who is this Allah? Much has been written on the religion of Islam and its prophet; but not much is said about the god of the religion. One reason is the assumption that the god of Islam and the God of Christianity are one and the same. When, on September 11, 2001, some Muslims carried out a well-organized attack, destroying the The World Trade Center and damaging the Pentagon, a letter of last instruction from the leaders of the terrorist network was discovered. Written in Arabic, it says their mission was a service to God. Actually this was a mistranslation. The word the terrorists used is not the Arabic word for God but Allah. The Arabic word for God is Ilah. So they believed they were working for Allah, not God. Who is this Allah? Were these terrorists extremists, or were they serving the Allah of the Qur'an? The war against terrorism goes beyond overthrowing the Taliban regime in Afghanistan or even killing Osama bin Laden. The war on terror may not be won unless we understand the Allah the terrorists say inspires them. Not all Muslims are terrorists. But the terrorists' letter, which is quoted fully in chapter three, gives great insight into the Islamic religion and the motivation for religious terrorism in the world. Why have we shied away from probing the identity of the Allah of Islam? Possibly it is because if Allah is not the God of the Bible, it would force us to face many ugly facts. For example, if Allah is the true God, and the Qur'an, Islam's sacred book, is true, then Christians can be sure they are lost, no matter how zealous they may be. The reverse would also be true. It is necessary, therefore, to provide sufficient information to enable you to determine your own verdict, and answer the question: Who is this Allah? This book will do that.

Allah


Book Description

From Miroslav Volf, one of the world's foremost Christian theologians—and co-teacher, along with Tony Blair, of a groundbreaking Yale University course on faith and globalization—comes Allah, a timely and provocative argument for a new pluralism between Muslims and Christians. In a penetrating exploration of every side of the issue, from New York Times headlines on terrorism to passages in the Koran and excerpts from the Gospels, Volf makes an unprecedented argument for effecting a unified understanding between Islam and Christianity.

Between Allah & Jesus


Book Description

What would happen if Christians and a Muslim at a university talked and disagreed, but really tried to understand each other? What would they learn? That is the intriguing question Peter Kreeft seeks to answer in these imaginative conversations at Boston College. An articulate and engaging Muslim student named 'Isa challenges the Christian students and professors he meets on issues ranging from prayer and worship to evolution and abortion, from war and politics to the nature of spiritual struggle and spiritual submission.




Allah Vs. Jesus


Book Description

This book compares Islamic theology with the Christian theology found in the Bible, and clearly shows which is true and which is false. Islam is the largest religion in the world, and is growing fast. Does this prove Islam to be true, and Christianity to be false? Should you and your loved ones join the crowd and become a Muslim? How long halt ye between two opinions? If Jesus be God, then serve him. But if Allah be God, then serve him. If Islam is false, then its shariah law is Satanic, so oppose shariah law as slavery and tyranny. But if Islam is true, then freedom is Satanic, so opposed freedom as evil and anti-God. This book explains how to understand the Quran by interpreting it in the same manner as Muslim clerics. Islamic doctrines discussed include: Jesus, jihad, monotheism and the Trinity, the Comforter, Heaven, Hell, and the Five Pillar of Islam as they relate to what a Muslim believes he must do to be saved from his sins. Muhammad's role as the final prophet, and his character and sexual practices are examined. Also discussed is how birth control and Bible versions relate to the clash between Islam and Christianity. Should Muslims convert to Christianity, or should Christians convert to Islam? Read this book to find out.




Allah Is the Pre-Islamic Moon-God, It Can Never Be the God of the Jews and Christians: The Quran, a Book That Reflects the Inexistence of the Moon-God


Book Description

This book, takes as reference, books written by renowned orientalist scholars, whose names are mentioned inside, specialized in ancient Arabic language as well as numerous archaeological discoveries. With this work, I try clearly to explain, why the Muslim Allah is the moon-god, therefore an idol, worshiped by the pre-Islamic Arab tribes at the time of Muhammad, and compared forcefully, by the alleged prophet, to the biblical God. In fact, all the ceremonies and rites that are currently being fulfilled by Muslims are, without exception, exactly the same rites and ceremonies, performed by pre-Islamic Arab populations to honor the idols of the Kaaba including the moon-god, Allah. I also write why the Kaaba could not have been built by Abraham. I explain why, since the Muslim Allah is the moon-god, thus an idol, cannot have dictated the Quran which was, therefore, conceived and written by men. In this book I explain why the Ramadan cannot have been ordained by any divine being. In this volume I point out, that, according to some of the greatest scholars of the Islamic religion and the Arabic language, the words "Islam" and "Muslim" are not words that existed at the time of Muhammad, so they could not have been written in the Quran and also that the Quran is a book written in a period far away from the alleged prophet lifetime. I wrote two chapters, to point out some senseless verses as well as different contradictions and assertions that, from what they declare, must necessarily come from human minds, always to show that Allah is the moon-god, an idol. I point out that in the Quran is indirectly asserted that their moon-god, Allah cannot be neither omnipotent nor omniscient. In this work I highlight two surah that clearly prove that the supposed Muslim holy book cannot come anywhere other than human minds and that therefore their god Allah does not exist. In this volume I cited the title of a book, written by an Iranian scholar, which points out how the Quran is a forgery. I also wrote clearly that not even Muslims know who should have dictated the Quran to Muhammad. I expose, in this volume, the reasons why the abrogating and the abrogated, the statement that later verses should repeal antecedent verses dealing with the same argument, cannot exist, whatever Muslims declare. I clearly illustrate why there can be no Muslim exegetes trying to explain incomprehensible Quranic surah. I negate, as clearly as possible, that their moon-god, Allah, a non-existent idol, could have sent something to anyone to confirm the Scriptures. I have also tried to explain the reason that clearly indicates, as written in the Quran, that their god Allah can be neither omniscient nor omnipotent, in opposition to what Muslims declare. I point out why the biblical God could not have nothing do with the self-appointed messenger. According to researches accomplished by scholars, as well as archeological discoveries, it is known now, that the self-appointed messenger, was never mentioned until 60 years after his death. I rebut, in this work of mine, the fact that God, according to what the alleged prophet wrote in the Quran, could forget and make mistakes, while he (the self-appointed messenger), remembered everything and apparently could not make mistakes. I also outlined, in my book, the reason why all the hadiths can be refuted and how.

Encyclopedia of Sciences and Religions


Book Description

"To all who love the God with a 1000 names and respect science” In the last quarter century, the academic field of Science and Theology (Religion) has attracted scholars from a wide variety of disciplines. The question is, which disciplines are attracted and what do these disciplines have to contribute to the debate? In order to answer this question, the encyclopedia maps the (self)-identified disciplines and religious traditions that participate or might come to participate in the Science and Religion debate. This is done by letting each representative of a discipline and tradition answer specific chosen questions. They also need to identify the discipline in relation to the Science and Religion debate. Understandably representatives of several disciplines and traditions answered in the negative to this question. Nevertheless, they can still be important for the debate; indeed, scholars and scientists who work in the field of Science and Theology (Religion) may need knowledge beyond their own specific discipline. Therefore the encyclopedia also includes what are called general entries. Such entries may explain specific theories, methods, and topics. The general aim is to provide a starting point for new lines of inquiry. It is an invitation for fresh perspectives on the possibilities for engagement between and across sciences (again which includes the social and human sciences) and religions and theology. This encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work for scholars interested in the topic of ‘Science and Religion.’ It covers the widest spectrum possible of academic disciplines and religious traditions worldwide, with the intent of laying bare similarities and differences that naturally emerge within and across disciplines and religions today. The A–Z format throughout affords easy and user-friendly access to relevant information. Additionally, a systematic question-answer format across all Sciences and Religions entries affords efficient identification of specific points of agreement, conflict, and disinterest across and between sciences and religions. The extensive cross-referencing between key words, phrases, and technical language used in the entries facilitates easy searches. We trust that all of the entries have something of value for any interested reader. Anne L.C. Runehov and Lluis Oviedo
