Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: Is Allah Baal?

Is Allah Baal?

37:124 When he said to his people, "Will you not fear? 37:125 Do you call upon Baal and leave the best of creators – 37:126 Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

(It is clear in the Qur’an that Allah is not Baal (37:125-126), even so, some non-Muslims keep saying such a lie about Allah)(The Qur’an tells about only worshiping God, and explicitly warns against Baal (37:125))(Allah knows best)

3:2 Allah (al-lahu) - there is no God (ilaha) except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all that exists. 3:3 He revealed to you the Book in truth which confirms that which was before it and He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.

(“Allah” and “ilah” (literally “the God” and “god”), in the Qur’an, use the same Semitic root word than “eloah”, “elah”, “el” and “elohim” in the Bible)(Allah revealed the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur’an. Notice how similar are “elah” in Aramaic (the language of the original Gospel), “eloah” in Hebrew (the language of the original Torah), and “ilah” in Arabic (the original language of the Qur’an))(The word “Allah” has no gender, nor plural in Arabic, because God is One God (2:163), and there is no any equivalent to God (112:4))(Allah knows best)

7:180 And to Allah the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave those who deviate concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.

22:3 And among mankind is he who disputes concerning Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil.

13:13 And the thunder glorifies His praise and (so do) the Angels for fear of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts and strikes with it whom He wills, yet they dispute about Allah. And He is Mighty in Strength. 13:14 To Him is supplication of truth. And those whom they invoke besides Him, they do not respond to them with a thing, except like one who stretches his hands towards water to reach his mouth, but it does not reaches it. And not is the supplication of the disbelievers but in error.

(Words other than “Allah” might have a pagan origin; for example, “God” in English: according to the article “God (word)” in wikipedia, “a significant number of scholars have connected this root (“Gaut”) with names of three related Germanic tribes: the Geats, the Goths, and the Gutar. These names may be derived from an eponymous chieftain Gaut, who was subsequently deified. He also sometimes appears in early medieval sagas as a name of Odin or one of his descendants … Some variant forms of the name Odin such as the Lombardic Godan may point in the direction that the Lombardic form actually comes from Proto-Germanic gudanaz. Wodanaz or Wodinaz is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of a god of Germanic paganism, known as Odin in Norse mythology, Woden in Old English, Wodan or Wotan in Old High German and Godan in the Lombardic language. Godan was shortened to God over time and was adopted/retained by the Germanic peoples of the British isles as the name of their deity, in lieu of the Latin word Deus used by the Latin speaking Christian church, after conversion to Christianity”)(Allah knows best)

40:62 That is Allah, your Lord, Creator of all things, there is no god except Him. So how are you deluded?

(In regard to the word “deus”, (“god” in Latin language), according to the article “deus” in wiktionary(dot)org, deus is “from Old Latin deivos, from Proto-Italic deiwos, from Proto-Indo-European deywós. Cognates with Ancient Greek “Zeús”, and with Persian “div (demon)”, among other words. So, the word “deus” and its derivatives (e.g. dieu in french, dios in Spanish, deus in Portuguese, dio in Italian, zeu in Romanian, etc.) are related to Greek mythology (“Zeus is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter” (source: article Zeus in wikipedia))(The words “deus / dios...” are very similar to “theos” (“god” in Greek language), though dictionaries suspiciously deny that “theos” is from the same source)(Allah knows best)

41:37 And of His Signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and nor to the moon, but prostrate to Allah , Who created them, if it should be Him alone that you worship.

(Some non-Muslims also discuss about the moon or a moon god to discredit Islam, but Muslims do not worship the moon. It is explicitly forbidden in Verse 41:37)(Christians (and other religious groups) are the pagan ones, because they worship the creation (Jesus), and some of them worship carved images made by themselves, while the Bible, in Exodus 20:4, says “you shall not make for yourself a carved image”)(Allah knows best)
