Case Closed: Allah Was Not & Is Not A Pagan Moon God

This video is a response to VonHelton's video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeqVLMS1OLQ
as well as a response to claims made by others in support of the position that Allah was actually the name of a moon god worshiped by pagans.

The pre-Islamic view of Allah appears to that he was the Creator god, as shown by these three verses:

If indeed thou ask them who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law), they will certainly reply, "Allah". How are they then deluded away (from the truth)? (29:61)

If thou ask them, who it is that created the heavens and the earth. They will certainly say, "Allah". Say: "Praise be to Allah!" But most of them understand not. (31:25)

If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust." (39:38)

The moon god worship by the Arabs in Muhummad's times was actually called Hubal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubal
and the pagans who fought Muhummad praised Hubal as their protector, as cited in Volume 5, Book 59, Number 375:

There were other moon gods worshiped in the Arabian region. Notably, Hubal,Illat, Ta'lab and Wadd.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_god

This is what the Quran says about worshiping the moon:

Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. (41:37)

Pre-Islamic use of the Star and Crescent symbol

Case Closed. Try harder next time.

Do u want to know what the differences between your video and VonHelton is?

Here it is, ur video is ur WORD(OPINION) his video provide ARCHAEOGICAL EVIDENCES by historian. Who actually dig up historical evidences.

[ultimatemaijn]

@LatinTaco4u That moon god argument has been refuted by archaeology and history. Yaden Yisrael dealt with the Basalt statue in Hazor.

[Brulluhman]

What your saying with this vid. is that the Turks corrupted the Quran and introduced Hubal again? Either way, it's corrupt.

[Brulluhman]

Allah means "the God", but it's a fact that most Arabs believed in the Paganism. And the top Pagan god was Hubal. Now to create monotheistic God, Mohammed decided to tell people they could keep their "moongod" and told them why need the other 300 or more. One you witness on top of the mosques and most Islamic flags. The star represents the sister. It's Paganism. Next to this there's much old Greek philosophy to be found in the quran that contains the exact same mistakes. All copy, copy.

@LatinTaco4u Nicely said but i wud like to say that OrionSyndicate910 did not say his words only he also quoted verses from Holy Quran.....Quran is not word of any man..

Interesting.

I wish you would have went through the whole video.

I'm reading the coran right now and as hard and dominative as it seems I will go through it.

I'd suggest you did watch it all.

Please understand this not me dissing you in any way.

Please understand I am not undermining your intelligence and thinking I know better.

Maybe if I cut 1h50 video after 25 minutes I'd not "want" but "could experience" from someone advising me to push further.

Peace to you and yours.

Because the Koran says the pagans viewed Allah as the creator, does not mean its fact. The Koran is not a reliable source of information regarding people thoughts or attitudes or history. Allah means "the god" and it was a title ascribed to every Islamic deity, from the big shit turds of Mecca to the littel chicken turds in the village, they were all "Allah"

This is an interesting topic, Orion. I will have to check out this video and Von Helton's video when I have more time to dedicate to it. It's not a theory I've actually heard of before. I'll try to get back to you. Blessings
