Allah was the name of the principal though not the only deity in pre-Islamic pagan Mecca. He stood supreme over and above all the other gods just as the Ka’ba was pre eminent among the other sanctuaries - also called Ka’ba(s) - of Arabia. He was Lord of Mecca.
That is half true and half false. The arabs used to worship Allah , the God of abraham alone and the Kaba was his house alone after ishmael untill a wealthy arab liked some idols from palestine ad imported them to mecca and persuaded the arabs gradually to worshiip them along side Allah as underservants of Allah in which you have to give the sacrifices so they would be the intercessor between them and Allah. Before this incident and after islam came and corrected this issue, Allah was worshipped alone and the kaba was his house alone . He was worshipped as the God of Ishmael ( the arabs direct father ) and abraham
In reality, Allah is NOT the God of Israel, but the PERSONAL NAME of the ‘divine spirit’ that according to the beliefs of the pagan Arabs,RESIDED in the Black Stone meteorite - embedded in the wall of the Ka’ba - that was VENERATED by the pagan Arabians long before Muhammad and his Quran.
false Allah is the God of Abraham and thus the God of Israel. The difference is that his name is different in arabic and araaic than in hebrew. As for the rest of your paragraph , it is as usual as expected from Christians, wishful thinking and historical manipulation.
The Allah of pagan Arabia was only the NAME (not a TITLE) of the supreme god at the head of their Pantheon of gods and goddesses similar to Jove/ Jupiter or Zeus in the pantheons of the gods of the Romans and the Greeks.
That is true . The word Allah is not a title. It is a name . Arabs at one point in their history imported idols from palestine sadly corrupting the Ishmaelite monothiesm that he left them and also tarnishing the kaba with idols.
Just as Jove and Zeus were NOT the One and Only God of Israel,
neither was Allah.
By understanding this most fundamental of facts regarding the Trinity of: Muhammad, Quran and Allah, everything which is otherwise so perplexing, contradictory, utterly incompatible with the Bible in Time and Space and totally incomprehensible about the Quran becomes CRYSTAL CLEAR.
. Idol-worshippers or polytheists. Most of the Arabs were idolaters. They worshipped numerous idols and each tribe had its own idol or idols and fetishes. **They had turned the Kaaba in Makkah, which according to tradition, had been built by the Prophet Abraham and his son, Ismael, and was dedicated by them to the service of One God, **into a heathen pantheon housing 360 idols of stone and wood.

**Idolatry was introduced into Arabia by 'Amr ibn Luhay, who brought the idol, Hubal from Mesopotamia (Iraq) and placed it inside the Ka’bah. **Later a large wooden dove was also placed inside the Ka’bah and the inside walls of the Ka’bah were also covered with paintings of the Prophets including a picture of 'Eesaa (Jesus) and his mother. Eventually over 360 idols were placed around the Ka’bah as well as altars for slaughtering animals to the idols. During the annual fairs of 'Ukaadh, poetry competitions were held and the seven most outstanding odes were etched in gold and hung inside the Ka’bah.

Prophet Ibraaheem (Abraham) was commanded by Allah to leave his second wife, Haajar (Eng. Hagar), and their newly born son, Ismaa’eel (Ishmael), alone in the un-inhabited and barren valley of Bakkah (also known as Makkah). However, he used to return to visit them periodically. After Prophet Ibraaheem left them, their supplies ran out and Hagar went in search of water. She left the baby, Ismaa’eel, in the valley and she ran between the hills of Safaa and Marwah trying to see if there were any oasis nearby or if any travelers were in the area. As Allah willed it, a spring started bubbling forth from the sand near the feet of baby Ismaa’eel. This spring became known as Zamzam and eventually became a well.
**During one of his visits, Prophet Ibraaheem and his son, Ismaa’eel were commanded by Allah to lay the foundations of the first house built expressly for the worship of Allah which became known as the Ka’bah. In subsequent visits they completed the building of the Ka’bah. **
Allah described the Ka’bah and its building in the Qur’an as follows: And (remember) when we prepared for Ibraaheem the place for the (holy) House saying: Make nothing as My partner and purify My House for those who walk around it and those who stand, bow and make prostration before it. (22:26) Lo! The first house (of worship) founded for mankind was that at Bakkah; a blessing and guidance for all people. (3:96) And remember when Ibraaheem and Ismaa’eel laid the foundation of the House (of worship. (2:127)
In order to make a specific point as the starting point for circling the Ka’bah, Prophet Ibraaheem placed a special stone in its eastern corner. This stone, according to the Prophet Muhammad ( صلى الله عليه وسلم )'s explanation, was originally shining white in color when it was brought down from Paradise, however due to the sins of man it changed to its present color of dull black, hence its name, al-Hajar al-Aswad (the Black Stone).
