"Who is Allah? What is the origin of belief in Allah?"

ALLAH is an Arabic word that implies "God" or, more definitely, "the God." In Western culture, it is normally assumed that the word Allah is used just by Muslims to depict their God, yet this isn't truly bona fide. The word Allah is used by Arabic speakers of all Abrahamic convictions (tallying Christianity and Judaism) as implying "God." However, according to Islam, Allah is God's suitable name, while Christians and Jews know Him as YHWH or Yahweh. Right when Arabic-speaking Christians use the word Allah, it is regularly used as a piece of blend with the word al-Ab. Allah al-Ab connotes "God the Father," and this utilization is one way Arab Christians isolate themselves from Muslims.

Before the start of Islam, most Arabs were polytheistic skeptics, having confidence in a savage, proficient fate that couldn't be controlled or changed or influenced by people. Muslims consider Muhammad to be the last and most vital prophet, and they recognize him for restoring to the Arabs the monotheistic certainty of their antecedents. Islam and Judaism both take after their powerful heredity to Abraham, yet the God-thought of Islam is one of a kind in connection to that of Judaism and Christianity in some critical ways. Yahweh and Allah are both seen as otherworldly, pervasive, omniscient, and kind. In any case, in both Judaism and Islam, God's generosity is dependent, at any rate not entirely and conventionally totally, on man's exercises. The Islamic thought of Allah and the Jewish thought of Yahweh both block the triune nature from securing God. They discard God's Son, Jesus, and they in like manner murder the Holy Spirit as an unmistakable Person of the Godhead.

Without Jesus, there is no provisionary salvation—that is, salvation relies upon man's effort rather than God's ease. Without the Holy Spirit, there is no gift, no peace, no open door (Romans 8:6; 2 Corinthians 3:17). Christians expect that by Jesus' passing and rebuilding, close by the indwelling of His Spirit, sin is pardoned, the still, little voice is flushed, and the human soul is freed to look for after God and goodness without the fear of teach (Hebrews 10:22).

A Muslim may love Allah and wish to please Allah, yet the request in his mind will unendingly be "is it enough? Are my works enough to legitimize salvation?" Christians assume that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to give a reaction to the request "is my work enough?" The fitting reaction is, no, our work isn't adequate (Matthew 5:48). This is staggering to any person who has been endeavoring without any other person to appease God. Regardless, this was the motivation behind Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1– 48). The Jews that Jesus tended to, much the same as the Muslims who take after Allah, were discovered by the discovering that nothing they did would ever meet God's optimal standard. In any case, Christ's optimal life, offering reparations downfall, and rebuilding met God's standard (Hebrews 10:10; Romans 8:1– 8). Jesus' message to the Jews and His message now, to Muslims and each other individual, is "give penance and trust" (Mark 1:15). This does not connote "quit failing" and "assume that God exists." It means "turn from transgression and quit endeavoring to please God by your own ability" and "assume that Christ has completed the process of everything for you." The assurance to the people who trust Christ is that they will wind up being the posterity of God (John 1:12).

ALLAH offers no such assurance. Muslims trust Allah will be considerate to them in perspective of his appraisal of their execution. In any case, salvation is never sure; it is never a certification. Exactly when the Western world looks with ghastliness on things like jihad and exhibitions of Islamic mental mistreatment, they get a glance at the exceptional fear that Allah imbues in his an impressive parcel of his followers. Dependable Muslims are looked with a repulsive choice: consent to the savage summons of an incomparable god whose benevolence is offered just to the most fiery and gave followers (and perhaps not by any methods by then), or surrender themselves as pitiably lost and set out toward teach.

Christians should not regard Muslims with abhor, but instead with sensitivity. Their god, Allah, is a false god, and their eyes are blinded to reality (see 2 Corinthians 4:4). We should appeal to God for Muslims and asking for that God exhibit to them reality, revealing His certification of consideration and opportunity in Christ (2 Timothy 2:24– 26).
