Who Is Allah, The Conclusion

In my two postings, Who is Allah, Parts I and II, I said that Muhammad was the prophet of Satan and gave evidence (using Islamic scripture) to support my claim. But you may ask, how do Muslims see Allah? Since they worship him, how do they describe who he is? Since that’s an excellent question, let’s do some research and find out what Muslims say about their god.

A quick google search of “names of Allah” will turn up a whole list of Muslim Web sites that list the ninety-nine names of Allah. Ninety-nine names you may ask? Why does Allah have ninety-nine names? One of the reasons why is because in the Hadith of Abu Hurairah, Muhammad said that Allah has ninety-nine names. If you're wondering why Muhammad would say something like that, let me explain; or better yet, I’ll let Muhammad explain: Bukhari V4B56N732, “Allah’s Apostle said, I have five names: I am Muhammad and Ahmad (the most praiseworthy); I am Al-Mahi (the obliterator) through whom Allah will eliminate infidelity; I am Al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected after; and I am also Al-Aqib (there will be no prophet after me).” Tabari VIII: 182-183, “The people assembled in Mecca to swear their allegiance to the Messenger in submission. He received from them an oath of allegiance to himself, to heed and obey…Now go for I have accepted your allegiance and praise.” Qur’an Surah 48:10, “Verily, those who pledge allegiance with you (Muhammad), pledge allegiance with Allah.”

So now that we know that Muhammad must be praised and adored, then it makes sense that Allah should be praised and adored even more. So if we take a look at the ninety-nine names of Allah (which the majority of them are some variation of how great Allah is) there are a few of them however, that should grab your attention. Since the Arabic spellings on these vary, I’ll just list the English translation. Those names are: the Abaser, Afflicter, Destroyer, Distresser, and the Humiliator. If you’re a Christian, you’re probably seeing something like big red flashings signs going off in your head saying: warning, warning, danger, danger! Especially that destroyer name: where have we heard that before? Revelation 9:11, “They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon” (destruction), “but in Greek he has the name Apollyon” (destroyer). Oh yeah! That’s where.

So again, that brings us to the same question: is Allah really Satan? Well, let’s look at one of the most well known verses in the Bible that refers to Satan and see what it says. Isaiah 14:12, “How you have fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning!” The phrase translated as “Lucifer, son of the morning” from the Hebrew text is “helel ben shachar” which means: shinning, son of the dawn. Is there somewhere in the Islamic scriptures that refers to someone of the dawn? Actually there is. If we turn to Qur’an Surah 113:1-2 we find, “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Dawn, from the evil of what he has created.” Well now, Lord of the Dawn, creates evil, seems like we have a match.

But just to be sure we have this right, lets turn to Matthew 5:34-37, and see what Jesus said when He was talking about swearing, “But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet…But let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” That’s funny, because in Qur’an Surah 91:1-6 we find Allah swearing by: the sun, the moon, the day, the night, the heaven, and the earth. Not to mention throughout the Qur’an we also find him swearing by such things as: the angels who violently tear out souls (79:1); the planets (81:15); the after glow of sunset (84:16); and of all things, the fig and the olive (95:1). Allah just can’t seem to stop swearing can he? “But let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” Yes, the evil one indeed!

So now we know why every time there is a teaching in the Bible, we seem to find the exact opposite in the Islamic scriptures. Here are a some more examples:

Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Qur’an 9:5, “Then when the sacred months have passed, then kill the disbelievers wherever you find them.”

Luke 24:47, “that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Qur’an 8:39, “And fight them until there is no more disbelief and the religion will be all for Allah alone.”

Mark 16:16, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved.” Qur’an 9:111, “Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties for (the price) that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah’s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed.”

Acts 2:38, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” Qur’an 61:11-12, “believe in Allah and his Messenger and strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives…if you do so he will forgive your sins.”

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Qur’an 5:72, “Surely they have disbelieved who say: Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. But the Messiah said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Verily, whosoever sets up partners with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode.”

Titus 3:2, “to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Qur’an 3:61, “Then whoever disputes with you concerning Him (Jesus) after knowledge has come to you [meaning Jesus is not the Son of God]…then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie.”

Matthew 5:44, “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Qur’an 33:60-61, "If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts are a disease, and those who spread false rumors in the city do not cease, we will urge you on against them…Accursed, they will be seized where they are found and slain with a terrible slaughter."

Matthew 26:34, “Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Muslim C19B035N6581, “When you listen to the crowing of the rooster, ask Allah for his favor as it sees angels.”

I Thessalonians 4:16-17, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.” Bukhari V4B55N657, “Allah’s Apostle said, by him in whose hands my soul is, surely (Jesus) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly, he will break the cross and kill the pigs” [pigs interpreted to mean Jews, Qur'an 5:60].

As we have discovered in these three postings, Muhammad was Satan's prophet, proclaiming Satan's message to the world. Thus, everything written in the Qur'an and Hadiths are the antithesis of what's written in the Bible. I’ll close this series with what seems like a Freudian slip from Muhammad: Bukhari V4B55N544, “Allah's Apostle said, Shall I not tell you about the Dajjal a story of which no prophet told his nation? The Dajjall is one-eyed and will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell.” Qur’an Surah 33:21, “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the last Day.”
