“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience,

and of faith unfeigned: …”

1 Timothy 1:5

Islamism(a “utopian” ideology)

Islam(a faith)

The Qur’an And God

The Qur’an makes Allah and God out to be the same

Allah has a very different personality than the God portrayed in the Bible

Muslims cite three reasons for using the term “Allah”

1.“Allah” is the personal name of God as used in the Qur’an“Allah” has no gender -- “God” can be male or female (i.e. god/goddess)“Allah” is one and literally means “the God” -- “God” can be singular and plural

The Qur’an And God

“Allah” was considered the “high god” of the Meccan pantheon

Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 B.C.

Although monotheistic, its roots are heavily paganistic

The God Of The Qur’an

Most prominent doctrine is the assertion that Allah alone possesses deity

In the Bible, God is three in the unity of one, which is a disgrace to the Muslim

To refer to Allah as “father” is blasphemy to the Muslim

1.The Father is God (John 20:17) -- He is distinct from the Son (John 8:16) and the Holy Spirit (John 14:26)The Son is God (Hebrews 1:8) -- He is distinct from the Father (John 8:16) and the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38)The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4) -- He is distinct from the Father (John 14:26) and the Son (Acts 10:38)

The God Of The Qur’an

For Allah to take a wife to produce a son would require the woman to be deity

The sin of shirk is committed by assigning partners or equals to Allah

Muhammad replaces the Holy Spirit in the Qur’an

5.72 They do blaspheme who say: “(Allah) is Christ the son of Mary.” But said Christ: “O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.5.73 They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah …

4.116 Allah forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).

35.8 Is he, then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So let not thy soul go out in (vainly) sighing after them: for Allah knows well all that they do!

45.23 Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition?

9.36 The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year) -- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.
