The document argues against the claim made by some Christian missionaries that Muhammad called people to worship a pagan god named 'Allah', asserting that 'Allah' is simply the Arabic word for 'God'. It provides evidence from the Quran and historical context to show that Muhammad and the early Arabs recognized Allah as distinct from idol worship, emphasizing the prohibition of idol worship in Islam. The document also highlights that historical figures, including Ezra and Daniel, referred to God using terms related to 'Allah', indicating that the term is not limited to pagan associations.

2. The Christian missionaries claim that Muhammad
called people to worship an ancient pagan god
named” allah”.
The Arabic word for the English word” god” is Allah.
The aim behind this false claim is clear; they always
labored themselves to distract the simple-minded
Christian from the truth.
Did Muhammad really ordered people to worship an
idol god?

3. Refuting this lie by mental evidences
 If Muhammad had called for the moon-god, the
idolaters would have never fought him and they
would have supported him because they
worshiped that idol.
 In the Holy Quran, worshipping idols especially
the sun and the moon is strictly forbidden.
www.knowmuhammad.org

4. The Arab idolaters would have stop persecuting the
prophet if he just said a good word about their idols
but he never did.
They even asked him to worship their idol for one year
and they would do the same next year but he refused.
On the conquer of Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad
sent some people to Taif where the moon-god( Al-lat)
was worshipped to demolish it.

5. In the city of Madina in what we call today "Saudi
Arabia", there were two main religions: the idol
worshiping and Judaism. The name of
the Jewish leader who also was the Highest Priest in
Madina before Islam came was "Abd-Allah Bin-
Saba". His Arabic name was not "Abd-Elohim Bin-
Saba" or "Abd-Elloi Bin-Saba" or "Abd-GOD Bin-
Saba".

6. The Holy Quran refutes the missionaries’ claim
The Holy Quran states that moon is just among God's •
servants:
Do you not see that to Allah prostrates whoever is in •
the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun,
the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the
moving creatures and many of the people? . (22:18)

7. The early pagan Arabs knew well that Allah is not the
moon- god( Al-lat) :
If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and
earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they
would surely say, "Allah." Then how are they
deluded? (29:61)

8. The Holy Quran implicitly condemns and warns
against the worship of the idol-god that was practiced
by the Arab pagans. God says what means:
“And of His signs are the night and day and the sun
and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon,
but prostate to Allah, who created them, if it should
be Him that you worship. (41:37)”

9. The Jesw and the
The contemporary Jews of Prophet Muhammad never
objected to the word Allah being used by Muhammad
as a proper name of Yehwah though they were
keen to find faults with the Islam.
The contemporary Christians who lived in nearby
cities to Madina ( Syria, Nagran…etc) never object
to the proper name” Allah” though they were keen
to find faults with Islam.
Jesus used the word “ Allah” in his Aramaic tongue.

10. There is proof from a Christian source that
supports our argument (Vine's Complete Exposition Dictionary by W.E.
Vine, Merrill F.Unger, William White, Jr., Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, TN, 1996.)
The above book mentions that Ezra and the Prophet Daniel called their God as "Elah". The
passage above is more than enough to counter the allegation made by misguided Christians
about Allâh being a moon god. For, if Allâh is the moon god, then what were Ezra and Daniel
worshipping?

11. •Modern Arab Christians use the word" Allah" in their Holy
Book. Please pay attention to the underlined Arabic word Allah
Here’s the word Allah
in Arabic

12. Please read this lines from the Book of Ezra:
“For some have obtained entrance, who from the
beginning were registered beforehand under this
condemnation: wicked men, who pervert the grace
of Alaha to impurity, and deny him who is the only
Lord Alaha and Maran Yeshua Mshikha”
please note that in Arabic you can’t pronounce one letter twice in one word, it
in Arabic seems that the Aramaic language followed the same role .Note that
sounds like Alaha in the above mentioned lines
