Allah is not God. Allah means The Deity.
Abba is God. Abba means Father.
This is not semantics. Muslims don’t believe there is only one God. They are henotheists. This means they acknowledge one God, and ignore the rest (e.g. The Mother of Rain who some say is the bride of Allah). This is why muslims shouldn’t talk about other peoples deities. It can curse them to acknowledge their existence by talking about them. Instead, muslims are to ignore them hoping they will go away and not be a bother. Do not confuse this with polytheism. Polytheism is the worship of many Gods. To many in islam saying ‘Abba’ hints at polytheism since it implies The Son and the Holy Spirit. According to islam polytheism is the worst sin. To Christians the worst sin is generally said to be blaspheming the Holy Spirit. To say ‘Allah’ blasphemes the Holy Spirit by not acknowledging the Holy Spirit or the Son or the Father. It is important for Christians to recognize that islam strictly forbids Christians from using the name ‘Allah’. So, out of respect and as commanded by the Church that is another reason why we do not use it.
jimzz12, welcome!
I have a question - is Abba an Arabic word?
From former muslims I got that they do indeed worship ‘other gods’. Such as the black rock, the koran and mohammed. Ali Sina wrote an email back to me about a question I had about the black rock and he says it is their behavior towards it that shows they worship it. He is an ex-muslim himself. Of course, they will deny it until the veins in their necks pop out, but as with everything in islam - look at their behavior because their words don’t ring true so often due to taqiyya/kithman. As there behavior when hamas attacks on a daily basis into Israel, and when Israel defends itself they have no problem taking to the streets and shouting nasties - and in some instances attack Jews in other countries. Their actions, or lack thereof, speak volumes. …and hamas kills more muslims than any other group.
black rock
We hear Muslims believe the Black Stone circled in Mecca is conscious and will testify for and against them on Judgment Day (though they will deny it, the stone and ritual is based on a pagan deity). Meanwhile Muslims all over the world gleefully bring down ‘un-Islamic’ idols, statues, and figures representing deities in other religions. The physical manifestation of Allah, in the form of a conscience stone, is an important core of Muslims’ connection with deity
also, Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 661:
“We used to worship stones, and when we found a better stone than the first one, we would throw the first one and take the latter, but if we could not get a stone then we would collect some earth (i.e. soil) and then bring a sheep and milk that sheep over it, and perform the Tawaf around it. When the month of Rajab came, we used (to stop the military actions), calling this month the iron remover, for we used to remove and throw away the iron parts of every spear and arrow in the month of Rajab. Abu Raja’ added: When the Prophet sent with (Allah’s) Message, I was a boy working as a shepherd of my family camels. When we heard the news about the appearance of the Prophet, we ran to the fire, i.e. to Musailima al-Kadhdhab.”

"In the book of “the legendary in quran” , page 16,17 it said:{ that nudeness was for a reason, as there were sexual worshiping rituals taking place inside that Makkahin godly house in the ancient epochs }
In the book of" the father of prophets Ibrahim", by Muhammad hosny abdul-hammid, published in Cairo, page 92, he said:{ there was a pagan ritual performed by women, as they were touching the black stone by their menstrual blood, as the menstrual blood for the ancient pagan was the secret of birth, as they believed that, woman gives the blood and man gives the semen and the spirit is given by god They were assimilating the first act done by the moon god (Alh) when he slept with the sun god (Alat) So they were celebrating that occasion as the gods (the moon and the sun) did before, they were doing the same thing again (See also" the legendary and the heritage" by Sayed
Al-Kemny, page 160,162."
