Muslims often refer to God as Allah. This is a universal name for God and does not refer to an exclusively โ€˜Islamicโ€™ God. Interestingly, this name is related to the Aramaic and Hebrew names for God, Allaha and Elohim.

Therefore, Allah is simply the Arabic name for God which affirms that He is One singular God with no partners or equals. The name Allah cannot be pluralized or limited to a specific gender, which establishes that God is One and that He is unique from everything He creates.

Muslims continue to use this original Arabic name for God (Allah) since it perfectly expresses His unique qualities.

God is the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe who created everything for a reason. Muslims believe that He created humankind with a simple purpose โ€“ to worship Him.

He sent messengers to guide people in fulfilling this purpose. Some of these messengers include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon all of them.

They all taught a consistent message about God by affirming His greatness as the Creator and guiding people to worship Him alone. This basic concept has always resonated with peopleโ€™s natural understanding of God.

Just a few examples for those who are still in doubt . . .

The images below, with the exception of the first image, were taken directly from The Bible in Arabic. Referred to in Arabic as al-Kitรขb al-Muqadis(i.e. ,The Holy Book), this is the scripture which is used by Arabic-speaking Christians (of which there are still about 15 to 20 million in the Middle East).

So that those unfamiliar with Arabic script have something to compare these images with, the first image below is a verse from the Qur’รขn – which is the Muslim scripture.

In the images, the Arabic word Allah is underlined in red so that it can be easily identified. Upon comparing the images, one should be able to clearly see that the word Allah appears in both the Qur’รขnic and Arabic Bible images.

Indeed, the word Allah appears throughout Arabic translations of the Bible, since it is simply the Arabic name for Almighty God. 

Insha’llah, the examples below will help quell the doubts of those who have been duped into believing that Muslims worship a different god – either by the hostile media or by Christian missionary propaganda.

We hope that this serves as enough documentation for those who still have doubts about this. We could think of no other way to prove this point, except to encourage everyone to do further critical and open-minded research on their own. Please, don’t forget to compare the images . . .
