Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word โAllah.โ For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since โAllahโ is simply the Arabic word for โGodโ โ and there is only One God.
Let there be no doubt โ Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus โ peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians, and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. For example, Muslims โ like Jews โ reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation.
This, however, does not mean that each of these three religions worships a different God โ because, as we have already said, there is only One True God.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all claim to be โAbrahamic Faithsโ, and all of them are also classified as โmonotheistic.โ However, Islam teaches those other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas.
First, it is important to note that โAllahโ is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word โAllahโ being used where โGodโ is used in English.
This is because โAllahโ is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word โGodโ with a capital โGโ. Additionally, the word โAllahโ cannot be made plural, a fact which goes together with the Islamic concept of God.
It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word โElโ, which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word โAllahโ than the English word โGod.โ This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are โElโ and โElahโ, and the plural or glorified form โElohim.โ
The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins. It should also be noted that in translating the Bible into English, the Hebrew word โElโ is translated variously as โGodโ, โgodโ and โangelโ!
This imprecise language allows different translators, based on their preconceived notions, to translate the word to fit their own views. The Arabic word โAllahโ presents no such difficulty or ambiguity since it is only used for Almighty God alone. Additionally, in English, the only difference between โgodโ, meaning a false god, and โGodโ, meaning the One True God, is the capital โGโ. Due to the above-mentioned facts, a more accurate translation of the word โAllahโ into English might be โThe One -and-Only Godโ or โThe One True God.โ
More importantly, it should also be noted that the Arabic word โAllahโ contains a deep religious message due to its root meaning and origin. This is because it stems from the Arabic verb taโallaha (or alaha), which means โto be worshipped.โ Thus, in Arabic, the word โAllahโ means โThe One who deserves all worship.โ This, in a nutshell, is the Pure Monotheistic message of Islam.
Suffice it to say that just because someone claims to be a โmonotheisticโ Jew, Christian or Muslim, that does not keep them from falling into corrupt beliefs and idolatrous practices. Many people, including some Muslims, claim belief in โOne Godโ even though theyโve fallen into acts of idolatry. Certainly, many Protestants accuse Roman Catholics of idolatrous practices regarding the saints and the Virgin Mary.
Likewise, the Greek Orthodox Church is considered โidolatrousโ by many other Christians because in much of their worship they use icons. However, if you ask a Roman Catholic or a Greek Orthodox person if God is โOneโ, they will invariably answer: โYes!โ This claim, however, does not stop them from being โcreature worshippingโ idolaters.
The same goes for Hindus, who just consider their gods to be โmanifestationsโ or โincarnationsโ of the One Supreme God.
Before concludingโฆ there are some people out there, who are obviously not on the side of truth, that want to get people to believe that โAllahโ is just some Arabian โgodโ, and that Islam is completely โotherโ โ meaning that it has no common roots with the other Abrahamic religions (i.e. Christianity and Judaism).
To say that Muslims worship a different โGodโ because they say โAllahโ is just as illogical as saying that French people worship another God because they use the word โDieuโ, that Spanish-speaking people worship a different God because they say โDiosโ or that the Jews worship a different God because they sometimes call Him โYahweh.โ
Certainly, reasoning like this is quite ridiculous! It should also be mentioned, that claiming that any one language uses only the correct word for God is tantamount to denying the universality of Godโs message to mankind, which was to all nations, tribes and people through various prophets who spoke different languages.
We would like to ask our readers about the motives of these people.
The reason is that the Ultimate Truth of Islam stands on solid ground and its unshakeable belief in the Unity of God is above reproach. Due to this, Christians canโt criticize its doctrines directly, but instead fabricate things about Islam that arenโt true so that people lose the desire to learn more.
If Islam were presented in the proper way to the world, it surely might make many people reconsider and re-evaluate their own beliefs. It is quite likely that when they find out that there is a universal religion in the world that teaches people to worship and love God, while also practicing Pure Monotheism, they would at least feel that they should re-examine the basis for their own beliefs and doctrines.
Allah Knows Best.
