ALLĀH – A PAGAN MOON-GOD
Since Christians worship Jesus as God, and as Jesus was born of a woman, it would be correct to say that JESUS IS A CHRISTIAN WOMB-GOD. Christians worship a WOMB-GOD.
The Internet has mountains of materials –including an archaeological discovery of a stone deity with an upside down crescent on its chest– claiming that Allāh was the name of a moon-god worshipped by pagans. (Christians even have a comic strip showing Christians “enlightening” a Muslim to the “truth” that Allāh was a pagan “moon-god”).
That Allāh and the God of the Bible are the same. If Christians knew their Bible in the original Hebrew they would know that “Allāh is the same ancient Semitic name of the Supreme Being who revealed and spoke to Adam and all the prophets”–(Professor Abdul Ahad Dawud B.D. –the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect– Muhammad in the Bible, pp. 12-13).
Allāh dates back to “earliest Semitic writings” which appeared from “30th century BCE”. No wonder Christian-Arabs know no other God but “Allāh” –which name predates the Christian-invented Trinity in 324 After Christ.
Hubal was the chief idol-god of the pagan Arabs alleged to be the same as Allāh. Hubal was brought from Iraq to Makkah sometime in the 4th century (After Christ). (It is not certain which of two persons brought Hubal to the Ka’bah).
Molech was a fire-god to whom children were fed–(Leviticus 18:21) and is similar to Malik, a name of Allāh. (Allāh says to not kill our children and He saved daughters from infanticide–Qur’an 17:31; 16:58-59; 81:8-9. Bokhari Vol. 3, #591. How then is Molech Allāh?) If Malik and Molech were the same being, it would seem senseless for God to instruct Jews to avoid Molech.
A stone deity with a crescent moon on its chest was discovered in Syrian Golan Heights. Christians claim Muslims worship a moon-god (because Muslims use the crescent moon to begin our months. Though Allāh says to worship Him, not the moon–Qur’an 41:37).
Whereas this “stone deity” dates back to “11th century BCE”, Allāh dates back to “earliest Semitic writings” which appeared from “30th century BCE”. Obviously, the moon-worshippers must have known about Allāh and applied the name to their moon-god. (Perhaps it is the same with Hubal-worshippers). How then is this a blot on Allāh?
If people should hang the star of David on a jackass and worship it, does this mean Yahweh is an “ass-god”?
Given that Christian-Arabs know no other God but “Allāh” –which is not surprising as Allāh dates back to early Biblical history– non-Arab Christians are charging their brothers-and-sisters-in-faith of worshiping a pagan moon-god, etc.
If Allāh is a moon-god because the moon was on a stone, then, as Christians worship Jesus and symbolize him by a fish, JESUS IS A FISH-GOD (and womb-god as he came from the womb).
Allāh says the (sun and) moon are for computing time–(Qur’an 6:97; 10:5) why then should Muslims abandon the “crescent” because pagans placed it on their stone-deity? Whereas Christians want Muslims to stop using the moon to compute time, Christians also use the sun and moon to compute time.
If Allāh is Hubal, Molech, moon-god and Satan then this Hubal, Molech, moon-God and Satan has given to the world the best Book in Scriptural history. As the Qur’an contains teachings of past Scriptures and teachings not met with in past Scriptures (thus the Qur’an consists of, exceeds and supersedes all other Scriptures.
Hubal, Molech, moon-God and Satan has the wisdom to name religion –Islam– to designate adherents –Muslims– and to name Scripture –Qur’an. The Christian God did not have this wisdom.
Again, Hubal, Molech, moon-God and Satan has the wisdom to clearly define our cardinal doctrines –Unity of God, Prayer, Zakaat, Fasting and Hajj– whereas the Christian God does not have the wisdom to clearly express his cardinal doctrines for his devotees. So that three hundred years after his mission was over his followers had to convene council and decide whether he is One God or one God in three Gods and three Gods in one God.
And two thousand years after his mission his followers are yet grappling and groping in “darkness and misunderstanding” and confusion as to who he (their God) is and his mission:
-whereas some Christians say Jesus is God some say Jesus is only son of God
-whereas some Christians say Jesus is one in a Trinity some do not believe in Trinity (and even say Trinity is from “satan”)
-whereas some Christians say Jesus died for original/ inherited sin some say there is no original/inherited sin, (arguing, rightly, your father being a millionaire does not make you a millionaire)
-whereas some Christians say Jesus was of virgin birth/ immaculate conception, was killed on the cross and was buried and risen, some early Christians did not believe Christ was killed, and even “denied” Jesus was born, that he only “appeared in human form”–(Yusuf Ali Qur’anic comm. #663).
(This is what Christians are laboring to enthrone above Islam. And some Muslims have abandoned Allāh for it).
It is strange Allāh is Satan given that Allāh tells us to seek refuge in Him from Satan and to keep away from Satan for he is our avowed enemy. And there is nothing in the Qur’an glorifying Satan. Satan must be incredibly senseless/stupid to give us a book that rebukes/castigates him.
Allāh tells us He has ordained mercy on Himself, His mercy encompasses all and that Angels ask for forgiveness of mankind –(Qur’an 6:54; 42:5; 66:6. In Islam ‘All Lives Matter’).
If Allāh is Hubal, Molech, pagan moon-god and Satan; this Hubal, Molech, pagan moon-god and Satan has declared His “mercy” to all mankind and also has His Angels ask forgiveness for us which no “genuine” God –Biblical or Vedic– has done.
Christians need to worship this “Hubal, Molech, pagan moon-God and Satan” –as their God/Son of God, Jesus, worshipped– if they want that “mansion” (or bungalow) in God’s House.
(2) So what that the pagans fasted (and for 30 days)? Allāh informs us that He prescribed fasting for people before us (Muslims)–(Qur’an 2:183). Thus, fasting would date all the way back to Noah. And even beyond Noah as, contrary to Biblical narrative, only the people of Noah drowned–(Qur’an 25:37; 29:14; 54:9-12; 71:21-27. Maurice Bucaille has shown in his book The Bible The Qur’an And Science (pp. 32-35) that “there could have been no destruction affecting the whole of humanity, as it appears in the Bible.” Even in our time one area is flooded to roof-tops –New Orleans, Bangladesh, Canada– while next door is bone dry).
As Allāh instituted fasting from the beginning, then fasting dates back to Allāh. The pagans merely imitated it from the devotees of God; (much like Christians imitate the pagans in their “Son of God” belief).
That Muslims wash before prayers much as pagans washed before prayers. Isn’t cleanliness next to Godliness? God instructed Moses to remove his shoes because he was on sacred ground (in the presence of God)–(Qur’an 20:12. Exodus 3:5).
(3) As stated, Christians have a comic strip showing Christians “enlightening” an Arab/Muslim to the “truth” that Allāh was a pagan “moon-god.” And quoting Isaiah 53:3-5 and John 3:16 that Jesus is God who suffered and died for Muslims, and has a place for him in heaven; whereupon the “enlightened” (unschooled/unthinking) Arab/Muslim converts to Christianity and hurries off, even at the prospect of being killed for apostasy, to tell his people about the virtues (correctly crockery) of inherited sin, vicarious atonement, and Jesus’ alleged second coming, and that Arabs/Muslims have been “deceived”: that Allah is a “false” God, Mohammad is not the Prophet of God, and the Qur’an is not the Holy Word of God.
John 3:16 is probably the most over-abused verse of the Bible. Christians are notorious for quoting one verse here, one in the middle, and one at the end in the Bible and tell you that mankind inherited sin from Adam and that God sent Jesus to die for your sins. Not only is John 3:16 used out of context, as already shown, inherited sin and vicarious atonement were invented by Christians three hundred years after Christ. (See Jesus-inherited sin to ascension; Allah and Jesus or Paul). (To beat and scourge someone and even call it “love” is sadism).
If Allāh and Mohammad are “false” it must be the miracle of creation that they have given us the Qur’an that defies human ability to equal; that surpasses not only the Bible in all facets of life but also towers majestically above all other scriptures (as already shown).
The Christian “comic” strip also tries to con Arabs/Muslims to believe in the trinity (which even some of their best men reject) and Jesus as the “BEGOTTEN” Son of God. Both or which, as already shown, are Christian crockery.
Regarding the prophecy of Isaiah 53:3-5 see Jesus-foretold.
(4) Regarding the Christian comic strip “enlightening” the Arab/Muslim that Jesus is the one foretold by all the prophets since the world began–(Acts 3:21-23). This prophet prophesied by all the prophets since the world began could only be fulfilled by the Prophet Mohammad. (See ch. 13. Jesus-light of the world; Mohammad-no man cometh to God but by).
(5) As the Allāh moon-God story goes. The pagan Sabaeans worshipped Allāh as the moon-god; the moon-god married the sun-goddess and they had three goddesses, al-Lat, al-Uzzat, and Manat, and that the worship of these three goddesses is sanctioned in the Qur’an 53:19-21; and these verses are known as the Satanic verses.
It would be a subjugation of reason to cerebrate that Islam which from a majority of one fought tooth and nail against pag-anism would at its triumph with tens of thousands of followers incorporate paganism into its practice. Here are the verses of the Qur’an dealing with these three pagan “goddessses,”: “Have you then considered Lat and ‘Uzza, And another, the third, Manat? Are the males for you and for Him the females?”
The pagan Arabs considered daughters to be inferior; they are here called to reason as to how they can attribute daughters to God Who is the Highest when they consider daughters inferior for themselves?
It is absurd to claim that these verses sanction worship of idols considering that verse 23 condemns idols as the invention of the pagans and their fathers, and Allāh calls them to follow the Qur’an; verse 26 denies even the intercession of angels much less that of idols; and verses 27-28 condemn as disbelievers those who give female names to angels and that “They follow but conjecture;” Muhammad Ali points out: “The Arabs called the angels daughters of Allāh.”1 (Christians cull verses from the Qur’an out of context to support their charges against Islam just as they take verses of their Bible out of context to support their false claim about Jesus).
That Muslims took the name Allāh from the pagans. This goes to show how much Christians know about Islam; but they are to be excused: they do not even know their own religion.
As noted in the beginning, “Allah is the same ancient Semitic name of the Supreme Being who revealed and spoke to Adam and all the Prophets.” And Islam, submission to the will of Allāh, dates back to the beginning of creation: “Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it was a vapour, so He said to it and the earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly (submitting to Allāh, Islam)–(Qur’an 41:11).
(6) That the Sabaeans worshipped Allāh as a moon-God.
Allāh, the Creator of all the worlds, is not only God of the moon, Allāh is the God of all things created! Allāh revealed in His Qur’an that He raised up prophets/ messengers among all people and gave them one common message for their people: “There is no God but Me: So serve Me”–(Qur’an 21:25).
That before the advent of their prophets the people worshipped elements is not uncommon. While those ancient and uninformed people can be excused for worshipping the moon as God, we have people in the enlightened twentieth century worshipping Jesus Christ as God and worshipping his mother, Mary, a woman created by God, as mother of God –making God son of Mary.
Some may argue that this pagan was higher in his worship of God –on account of him worshipping a celestial body that was from the beginning of time and will go on being a “light of the world” to the end of time– than the man-worshippers worshipping an earthly being like himself who needed food and other human amenities and lived a mere thirty-three years and died.
Perhaps this is why Constantine while outwardly professing Christianity (for political gains) died bowing “To the Invincible Sun, my Companion,”2 because it was not conducive to his reasoning that three personages –God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost– could yet be one person (1+1+1=1?) and not 3; and that this one person divided into three is still one and not one–third (1 divided by 3 = 1?); and that to institute the premise that 1+1+1=1 and 1 divided by 3=1 would be to commit mathematicide.
Or perhaps Constantine found the notion of God Incarnating Himself as man –subjugating Himself as son of Mary and exalting her/woman as “Mother of God”– to be a nauseating abomination –that this Creator of the Universe, this Ultimate in Purity and Perfection, would enter as a sperm (and how or whose?) into the belly of a woman He created, spend nine months inside the unclean abode (leaving the universe without a God) nourish on her liquid, pass through the various stages of development, emerge from her vagina, suck her breasts and be circumcised; have Himself wrap in diaper, eat, drink, sleep, and answer the calls of nature; beg “Himself” pitifully to great drops of sweat (in the Garden of Gethsemane) to be spared from the “glory” of death, and arrogantly charge “Himself” (from the cross) as having “forsaken” “Himself.”
Perhaps these revolting scenes –senseless doctrines and that a person of human and ignoble traits could ever be worthy of adoration– must have driven Constantine closer to the “Sun.”
Whatever anyone worships besides Allāh he/she can name it Allāh, but it is NOT Allāh.
(7) Regarding the Sabians, Muhammad Ali notes in his commentary to Qur’an 2:62:
“The Sabians are mentioned in the Holy Qur’ån on three occasions only, here and in 5:69 along with the Jews and the Christians, and in 22:17 with these and the Magians. According to En. Br., the Sabians were a semi-Christian sect of Babylonia, closely resembling the so-called “Christians of St. John the Baptist”. The probable derivation of the name is traced to an Aramaic root, and the root meaning is said to be those who wash themselves, and this is said to be corroborated by Arab writers applying to them the name of al-Mughtasilah. The idea that the Sabians were star-worshippers is rejected; the error, it is said, being due to the pseudo-Sabians of Harrian, who chose to be known by that name in the reign of Al-Mamun, in 830 A.D., in order to be classed as the “People of the Book”. The commentators hold different opinions regarding them, most of them agreeing that they are representatives of a religion between Judaism and Christianity, based on the doctrine of unity, but also maintaining worship of angels. The majority do not include them in the Ahl al-Kitab (AH).”
For six hundred years after the Christian’s God and Son of God, Jesus, came the “semi-Christian” Sabians were unimpressed (perhaps because they knew Jesus was redundant and offered nothing new). But when the Prophet Mohammad came and enlightened them they embraced Islam. Prof. ‘Abdul-Ahad Dawud, B.D. –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– wrote in his book Muhammad In The Bible (emphasis added):
“One of the few religious phenomena I have not been able to explain is this: How is it that the well-known Saba’ites (Sabians), so predominant in the Arabian peninsula and Mesopotamia, did not embrace Christianity if the Prophet John the Baptist had really and openly declared and presented Jesus as the “more powerful” Prophet than himself, and the Messiah whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose? If, as foretold by John, Jesus was the Apostle of Allāh who came to baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire the myriads whom he “dyed” in the water of the Jordan and elsewhere, why did Jesus not baptize them instantly with the Spirit and with fire and then purge of idolatry all the lands promised by Allāh to the seed of Abraham and establish the Kingdom of God by force and fire? It is absolutely inconceivable that the disciples and the believers in the divine mission of John should not follow Jesus if he had been presented to the public as his Lord or Superior on the spot. The followers of John might have been excused for their refusal to enter into the Christian Church if Jesus Christ had come, say, a century later than the Baptist, but happily such was not the case. They were both contemporaries and born in the same year. They both baptized with water unto repentance, and prepared their penitent converts for the Kingdom of God that was approaching but not established in their time.
The Saba’ites, the “Dyers” or Baptists,” were the faithful adherents of John. They may have fallen into error and superstition; but they knew perfectly well that it was not Jesus who was intended in the prophecy of their Prophet. They embraced Islam when Muhammad came.”
If Allāh was a pagan “moon-God” the Sabians that embraced Islam surely must have known it. It must be “One of the few religious phenomena” in creation then that these Sabians would reject the “true” God of the Bible, from Adam to Jesus, and reject the Christians’ God and Son of God, Jesus –even in the face of him being prophesied hundreds of years before his birth, and after all his stupendous miracles and being ‘ransom” for their sins– and accept the pagan “moon-God” of the “false” prophet, Mohammad, and the “false” Qur’an.
“Surely, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (people) from the way of Allāh. So they will go one spending it, then it will be to them a regret, then they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve will be gathered together to hell”–(Qur’an 8:36).
Even if the charges against Allāh, Islam, the Qur’an, and the Prophet Mohammad were proved yet this would not make Jesus God or Son of God or vicarious atoner or that mankind inherited sin. These cardinal doctrines of Christianity have no Divine foundation, no prophetic foundation, no logical foundation, and are repugnant to reason.3
Rather than squander priceless and limited time trying to find non-existent flaws in Islam, Christians should be “wailing and gnashing” their teeth (or gums) over the rank paganism in which they are mired.
While they are alive Christians have the grand opportunity to repent and turn to Allāh; when they’re dead there is no second chance. The scapegoat (Jesus dying for sins) on which they expect to cruise on into heaven does not exist; their only passport into Paradise is “Lā elāha il-lAllāh Mohammadur-Rasu-lAllāh!” “There is no God but Allāh, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allāh!”

1. Ali, Muhammad, comm. Qur’an 53:27.
2. Kamal-ud-Din, Khwaja, The Sources of Christianity, p. 55.
3. –Christianity has no Divine foundation–these cardinal doctrines of Christianity –inherited sin, vicarious atonement, Divine sonship, and Trinity– were not revealed by God.
–Christianity has no prophetic foundation–these cardinal doctrines were not taught by Jesus. These doctrines are assumed and propagated as Divine truths.
–Christianity has no logical foundation–God being the First and Creator of all could not have a mother or be born; God having no consort could not have a son; God being Omnipotent and Omniscient and Omnipresent does not need to take form(s) to accomplish any matter; God being Just would not suffer the innocent for the guilty (even human governments strive not to punish the innocent for the guilty); God being merciful and forgiving does not need any “satisfaction,” least of all human blood, in order to forgive sins.
-Christianity is repugnant to reason –God, the ultimate in Purity and Perfection, would not confine Himself in the womb of a woman He created, spend nine months inside the unclean abode (leaving the universe without a God) nourish on her liquid, pass through the various stages –from a sperm into a clot, a lump of flesh, taking on bones, and into a babe– emerge from her vagina, suckle her breast, have Himself pin in diapers, be circumcise, eat, drink, sleep, and answer the calls of nature, and nail to a “pole” (which is blasphemy of the highest order). Since a son is one that succeeds his father, God being the Creator and the First and Last and the Eternal could not have and does not need a son (or daughter) to succeed Him.
