God in the Quran...

The word All�h is the Arabic term for "God".

Although, outside the Arab world, use of the word All�h is most often associated with Islam, it is not exclusive to that faith; Arab Christians and various Arabic-speaking Jews (including the Teimanim, several Mizraḥi communities and some Sephardim) also use it to refer to the monotheist deity. Arabic translations of the Bible also employ it, as do Roman Catholics in Malta (who pronounce it as "Alla"), Christians in Indonesia, who say "Allah Bapa" (God the Father) and Christians in the Middle East who use the Aramaic "All�ha".

Im asking about the concept. I need to hear from someone who is familiar with these claims that other religions have made about Islam. Just like there are ideas about Christianity that people get confused because of what they have heard, so there are those about Islam. as a christian who studies my faith regularly, I am able to find answers to general claims that others have made about Christianity. I did not state anything that is foreign to those who understand theology outside of their religion of islam. It is important for muslims to know what kinds of claims other religions state about Islam so that they will be able to enlighten or explain their belief to non-believers. I didn't make these claims up off the top of my head. please do not anwer if you are not familiar with what I mentioned.

Cicely:

The problem with what you are saying is that most Muslims don't go to these anti-Islamic websites because they are so false and so hateful that we just choose to ignore them.

If someone has a specific question that is different, but to just try to address every false accusation made against Islam would be virtually impossible.

The Quran never states that God is evil in any way. We believe the Quran is the actual word of God revealed to the Prophet Mohammed by the angel Gabriel. Why would God call Himself evil?

The Quran describes God as: the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate, Oft-Forgiving, The Source of Peace, The Protector, The Sustainer, The Bountiful, The Responsive, The Wise, The Loving...all these beautiful attributes plus so much more.

"No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear." (Quran 2:233)

Allah Almighty says in a hadith qudsi, "O My servant! If you take one step toward Me, I take ten toward you."

God is love, forgiveness, and beauty beyond our comprehension.

Assalamu Alaikum AK:

I said most Muslims... there are always some who dare to be different...

Personally I find them tiring. I get enough questions from my family and people on the streets, I don't wanna go looking for trouble.
