This addresses anyone that believes that the God of the heavens does not have a name, or that it doesn't matter what we call him.

**Imagine, we the creation giving the creator of the whole universe a name or not addressing him by the personal name he has giving us**

My Arabic friends say Yahuwah.

If God is all-knowing and powerful and has created the many diverse cultures that exist today, why would God care what name they call him especially if the name is meant for him and him alone? I agree with Hayfa that you cannot sit there and refute Islam or the name Islam calls God simply because its different than the book that was 7,000 years old. Heck! if you call Yehovah or Jehovah Jesus in a synagouge Jesus would laugh at you! (I'm assuming) fgor they don't even believe in Jesus let alone the Christian interpretation of scripture. Seriously this is a pitiful argument for a pitiful thread.
 
Actually the 7,000 came from this:
THE divine name is found more than 7,000 times in the Holy Scriptures, from the topic starter Wink

So then we agree that his name is Jehovah, history show and prove all the prophets in the Bible used it. You will agree that all is what matters.

No we are not agreeing to anything.. just commenting on the inane, pointless topic. I am not A Christian. I do not follow the Bible as we have today. Muslims do not.  That is okay. Believe what you want. If you want to call God Jehovah. Go for it.

How important is God�s name? Consider the model prayer that Jesus Christ gave in the Gospel. It begins this way: �Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.� (Matthew 6:9) Later, Jesus prayed to God: �Father, glorify your name.� In response, God spoke from heaven, saying: �I both glorified it and will glorify it again.� (John 12:28)
Clearly, God�s name is of the utmost importance.

Nice post Nur.. good information

Language is just language... Allah created us from different nations so we can leanr from one another. As long as there is One God being worshipped the name is not all that relevant. Considering some people do not even have the capacity to speak it seems like a very minor point.

There are thousands of languages. We are all descendants of Adam and Eve. We are all brothers and sisters.

Guess I don't get your point. Must be me.
