About this sermon

Drawing especially from Matthew 7:15-20, 2 Corinthians 11:14, Galatians 1:8, Revelation 12:7-17, the teaching emphasizes that Islamic claims and biblical revelation present incompatible accounts of God and salvation. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that faithfulness in the home requires instruction, loving correction, protection, and a consistent Christian example.

[Music] foreign [Music] good morning everyone sorry about that didn't have a mic on this morning good morning students and also I think we're going to be broadcasting this to YouTube if uh Kevin if you can you can share that on Facebook that we're going to be with broadcasting this on YouTube we had some requests this morning for uh this class on Islam uh Mohammed and Satan so this is apologetics class 13. of course by no means are we going to be able to cover everything on the subject of Islam today but we're going to cover quite a bit so let's get into this a little bit here this morning first of all we're going to deal with is that it is very very clear from history from archeology from everything we can see improve that uh Allah is really ancient Moon God from the Kaaba there in Mecca but original name was who ball or Hubbell however you want to say it the moon God of Kaaba uh this little excerpt here says what is quite certain is that the Pagan Arabs in Mecca worshiped a moon God called Hubbell or hubal at the Kaaba um who all was the lord of the Kaaba being the highest ranking god of the 360 Gods worshiped in the Kaaba now here is the amazing thing Allah was also worshiped as the lord of the Kaaba so which one was the lord of the Kaaba well it's interesting because Allah is really kind of a general name for God so anyway so you have these two names who ball and Allah who were both worshiped as the moon God but also the Lord or supreme god of the Kaaba yet Allah was never represented by any Idol of physical nature to suggest that the polytheistic Arabs never created an idol to represent Allah is simply unreasonable and unbelievable we suggest rather that hubal or Hubbell was who the Pagan Arabs addressed their prayers to Allah through in other words Allah was hubel Muhammad came along and smashed the idol of Hubbell or who bald and now the Arabs had no Idol of Allah to pray through anymore and who all was forgotten there are stories in the Sera of pagan meccan praying to Allah while standing beside the image of who bought and this is documented in Muhammad's Mecca by W Montgomery watt chapter 3 religion in the pre-islamic Arabia so we suggest that

the Arabs Stood Beside and prayed to him referring to him as Allah now you some might say that speculation but it gets to be pretty obvious that who ball the moon God Allah also uh is a representative of the Moon God which is why of course you will see in a minute the the Muslims use the Crescent Moon as the symbol for their religion of Islam but let's look at the origin of the name Allah the word Allah comes from a compound Arabic word illah Al is a definite article the and Eli is an Arabic word for God the God we immediately see that this is not a proper name but a generic name rather like the Hebrew L which we have seen was used of any deity and that Allah is not a foreign word as it would have been if it had been borrowed from the Hebrew Bible but purely an Arabic one it would also be wrong to compare Allah with the Hebrew or Greek for God El or Theos respectively because Allah is purely an Arabic term used exclusively in reference to an Arabic deity now this is something that we need to get a hold of because Allah we're going to find out there's many sources that say Allah was before this before Muhammad came along before Muhammad was pushing this God Allah it was well known in uh pre-islamic time so let's look at this here the Encyclopedia of religion says Allah is a pre-islamic name corresponding to the Babylonian Bell and we're going to see that in a minute or the god sin the god Nana or you'll see that in a minute this person here goes on to say I know that Muslims will find it's hard to believe so I'm now going to make many citations to present the archaeological evidence to prove conclusively that this is true although this data will be painful for many of our readers it's necessary to face the truth facts are facts unless you're willing to Desert all logic and reason and Common Sense the evidence of your eyes they must be faith so here we go the Encyclopedia Britannica Allah is found in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam the Arabs before the time of Muhammad accepted and worshiped after a fashion a supreme god called Allah Encyclopedia of Islam says that the Encyclopedia of Islam also says Allah was known to the pre-islamic Arabs he was one of the meccan deities so this is pretty strong here we're

going to keep going I promise you it's going to get even more clear now here is just to show you here's the reference down here from the Encyclopedia of Islam went to it directly Allah as you see I highlighted in red for you was known to the pre-islamic Arabs he was one of the meccan deities and there's the citation Allah the Encyclopedia of Islam second edition so this is a well-established fact illah as it is appears in pre-islamic poetry by frequency of uses was contracted to Allah frequently attested to in pre-islamic poetry that's from the Encyclopedia of Islam uh the name Allah goes back before Muhammad of the Encyclopedia of world mythology and Legend uh the origin of this Allah goes back to pre-muslim times Allah is not a common name meaning God or a God and the Muslim must use another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity this Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics scholar Henry uh I don't know preserve Smith of of Harvard University stated Allah was already known by name to the Arabs so this is the Bible in Islam his book and so on says the name Allah is also evident in archaeological and literary remains of pre-islamic Arabia so uh just establishing the fact that this is well well known issue um here in this book this is uh Islam bye Caesar pharah PhD here I believe that's his now anyway yeah Caesar Farah in his book Islam on Islam concludes his discussion of the pre-islamic meaning of Allah by saying there is no reason therefore to accept the idea that Allah passed to the Muslims from Christians or Jews so what he's saying is that this word Allah or as a reference to a general reference to the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob or the god of the Christians as well that this didn't pass this is a uniquely Arab Arabic reference to a particular deity that they worship before Muhammad at the Kaaba in Mecca so he goes on to say according to Middle East scholar E.M wary whose translation of the Quran is still used today in pre-islamic times Allah worship as well as the worship of bell we're both astral religions and that they involve the worship of the Sun the moon and the stars now I want to read that again because we need to get a hold of that according to Middle East scholar Ian weary whose translation of the Quran is

still used today in pre-islamic times Allah worship as well as the worship of Baal Who was the the supreme god of the Canaanites and all these different ones out there were both astral religions in that they involved the worship of the Sun the moon and the stars the comprehensive commentary on the Koran so this is again pretty clear and we're going to see it in archeology and in their symbols let's look at this right here some archaeological discoveries up top you see who ball the chief Idol of Mecca is linked to Baal also known as tamas in ancient Arabia the Sun God was viewed as a female goddess in the moon as the male God as has been pointed out by many scholars as Alfred gilauem or however you say his name the moon God was called by various names one of which was Allah the name Allah was used as the personal name of the Moon God in addition to other titles that could be given to him Allah the moon God now listen to this this was what was believed back then and this is we're going to show that that Muhammad this is proof that Muhammad knew that Allah was the moon God because all of the Moon God was married to the sun goddess and together they produced three goddesses who were called the daughters of Allah these three goddesses were called all a lot al-uzzah and manat the daughters of Allah along with Allah and the Sun Goddess were viewed as high gods that is they were viewed as being at the top of the pantheon of the Arabian deities now I'm going to show you in a minute but these uh Moon Gods here and their daughters Muhammad mentions in the Quran and then later he removed it from the Quran these These are known as The Satanic Verses when he referred to these three daughters of Allah by these specific names and said that they were the the exalted Birds of intercession right cranes but uh yeah it's crazy but then later he had to take that out but as you see in these ancient artifacts that were found who all linked to Baal you see what the Crescent Moon and the Sun God you see it right there there it is and this this bottom picture is from ancient Babylon in its inter this is the god sin or Nana and look the three women the three daughters the Moon so this actually Allah can be traced back to
