Jesus also reffered to God as Allah…

He would also not have recognised the name Jesus Christ…

You should all use the same name he used for himself and God…

Jesus also bowed to pray, you should all pray in the same way and you should stop all innovations like Christian Rock…

**The Muslim is telling you nothing against your faith. If you keep crying “Jesus, Jesus” all the time but do not do or act like Jesus then you are a hypocrite, a showman.

And if some muslim tells you to follow Jesus, you feel hurt. What is this?? A false love of Jesus??**

How do you say I AM in Arabic?

depends. If you say I am happy we say : Ana saiid.

If you mean I AM as I AM He, it means Ana Huwa.

Ana stands for I am since verb to be does not exist in Arabic.

there is a difference Planten between repeating what Jesus said and turning Jesus into the Muslim Issa.

Jesus did not tell us to bow while praying, for example.

He is telling us how we should pray and what we should like and dislike.
I live my life to the best of my ability to be like Jesus, live by his name and what he TRULY is.
He is not telling me how to follow Jesus, he is defining the fact that Jesus is not the son of God, pointing out Jesus is Jesus and God is God. Basically pointing out Jesus is not the son of God, which you know i totally disagree with.
I pray the Christian way, the way ive been taught.
Again, why would i want to have a Muslim to tell me how to follow Jesus when they dont even believe in Jesus the way i believe in him?
My love for Jesus is not false, unlike your love is for him.

Hello,

Thank you for asking questions you have about Islam.

Ok. The Word Allah is a Name . Its the name given to the God of Abraham in two languages .

Aramaic and Arabic. This word is not invented by Muslims. Nor was Muslims the sole users of thsi word to refer to the God of Abraham.

answers.com/topic/alaha

Some missionaries like to decieve by confusing two things togeather .

There was a pagan Idol in Arabia called ''AllaT . This was one idol among many idols in arabia and all of these idols were worshipped in the concept that they would intercede with the supreme God of Abraham ‘‘Allah’’

Now these are two different things. ‘‘AllaH’’ was not an idol . ‘‘AllaT’’ was !

The Question you should be asking, Is Allah the God of Abraham?

The answer is YES . And this is according to Aramaic language and Arabic language. This is the name that is given to him as a reference.

So the translation ’ There is no god but god ‘’ is incorrect. Allah is a name just like ‘‘John’’ is.

That is why arab christians AND Jews have no problem at all mentioning Allah as their lord as long as they are talking about the God of Abraham.

Its not a name founded by islam although it is the name God ordered the arabs to use as his reference in their language.

I hope i clarified.

salam

Dear Meedo,

Thanks for your explanation. That should explain why it is hard for muslims to understand the Trinity. For you Allah is the name of the entity that human being worshipped. Christian believes that Allah = God = Entity in which human worship. The name of God (such worshipped entity) we believe is YHWH. Some tribe of ancient Israel called the name as Ellohim, some El Shaddai, some by Adonai. So, the difference of YHWH and God, is YHWH is the name of God. Just like, a human being typing this posting is swariffin. Things that need to be aware of that there is only one God and there are many human.

It is like comparing that: (case a : w.r.t human being) swariffin = human, but not all human = swariffin. (Case b: w.r.t God) YHWH = God, and God must be = YHWH because there is only one God. I hope I made my point clear.

Angelos was a Muslim who converted to the Orthodox Church and knows what he’s talking about.

I would not mind at all if you came to me and told what you liked to tell me. You are welcome as long as you are peaceful. You come and teach me something good. That is good of you and I will appreciate. But at the same time do not please tell me anything bad such as the drinking and gambling and free sex that is going on full scale in the christian countries.

You teach me and I teach you peacefully. There is no harm. Such is life.

i still have to read one Christian preaching this. These kinds of arguments can be held against Muslims as well.

We are different to you…

We can react to each other and hate each other or we can act with civility… I must admit the ignorance about Islam on this forum has really “irked” me…

You have a right to hate islam and dislike muslims, there are many muslims who will hate and dislike you back…

But if you attack and insult islam and spread lies then the least a muslim should do is demand that you people atleast try to be moral and decent and stop the innovation and follow the example of Prophet Jesus…

Dont follow what you have been taught, I believe that alot of the bible has been corrupted, yet muslims still are commanded to respect the Injeel (Gospels) because the shadow of the will of God remains amongst the corruption that humanity has created…

But even amongst those words you will find things like the way Jesus prayed, the way he spoke, the words he used…

Muslims seriously attempt to follow the example of the our messengers from Adam to Moses, to jesus to Muhammed, we REFUSE to contemplate any so called renaissance where Gods will is made to fit in with human desire and the demands of society and the state,

At the end of the day you either choose God or you choose to live in a state of disbelief, and if you choose God THEN NO HALF MEASURES

And it seems to me that you people are not only implementing half measures letting society, nation, flag, patriotism to get in the way of belief and then annoyingly telling muslims to do the same.

You muslims come flooding into the west, enjoying complete freedom and religious liberty, yet your ummah cannot give the same benefits to other people.
 
Ask and you shall be given.

The prominent scholar issued a fatwa last week that consuming drinks containing tiny quantities of alcohol that is “constituted naturally through fermentation” did not violate Islamic teachings.

“The fatwa was issued in response to a question from the Qatari Standards and Specifications Autho (QSSA) on allowing 0.05 percent of alcohol constituted naturally through fermentation,” the statement explained.

It stressed that the percentage was not set by Sheikh Qaradawi but rather by the QSSA which considers it the maximum percentage of alcohol naturally constituted through fermentation.

"Qaradawi set conditions for allowing this quantity that it must be tiny and ineffective, especially when it is constituted naturally by fermentation and is not manufactured.

If Allah is the Arabic word for God, how does this phrase “La ilaha illAllah” make sense? ilaha means God in arabic, why don’t Muslims say La ilaha ill ilaha? That would translate there is no God but God. But the phrase La ilaha illAllah specifically names the Muslims God as ‘Allah’. We know from Jewish scripture God’s name is YHWH or Yahweh, not Allah. Allah was one of hundreds of God’s worshipped pre-Islam before Muhammed brought Islam to the Arabian peninsula.

I just found this very interesting as I always heard “there is no God but God”, and just assumed it would translate “there is no Allah but Allah”. I never realized Allah was the name of the Muslims God and not the word for God.

Hello There,

Well let me prove you that Allah is one of the greatest name and Allah preferred this name to be called. While if you see your right hand doing the act of STOP to the tarrific you will see the shape of Allah in arabic words. Please try this act and you will come to know that our right hand shape is cast just like Allah in arabic word. May peace and blessing to all who read my post.
