Is Allah GOD

Lets delete confusion first from our mind and then go to the basics referred in Torah, Zaboor and Injil comparing to what is in the Quran. There is NO absolutely NO contradiction between these three Books regarding the Name, Character or teachings of GOD Almighty.

Note: Muslims are told that all three books have been changed, without proof. So it is an unproven allegation even after 1500 hundred years since Quran was introduced.

Lets go to the point under consideration. This is only Quran tells us that Allah is the name of God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob....Muses....Jesus. Quran also mentions Three daughters of Allah (though Muhammad taken back issue of three daughters). It simply proves that Pagans at that time were worshipping Allah and his three daughters for the last many centuries. Name Allah is completely an alien name of God to All the Prophets and Books. And it is evident from Islamic sources that Quran started to reveal in the month fo Ramadan, which was a pagan holy month and not a Jewish or Christians.

Furthermore, it is more astonishing that even after 23 years of Quranic revelations the receiver i.e Muhammad (Prophet of Islam) did not complete or compiled these revelations and not advised any one of his followers to compile and introduced to Islamic umma. It was Usman (3rd Khalif) who got it compiled with the help of so many others, made corrections, changes and burned every piece of original evidence spoken by his own prophet. It is sad, isn't it. So today we have Usmanic Quran and not the Muhammadan Quran.

Usman has left Muslims with the responsibility to prove that every other book except Quran has been corrupted and every other prophet was guilty of not mentioning the name of Allah as their God except Muhammad. Our Muslim friends (?) are also left with the dilemma of proving Quran right despite all sorts of historical, Philosophical, Spritual, Mathematical etc etc errors and contradictions of the Quran.

So what we are left with. One prophet (Muhammad) verses all other prophets (40+) and one book Quran) verses three Books (actually 66+ in fact). As an un-baised reader I am intended to believe majority of the Prophets and Books given by them rather than one man and one book which doesn't even carry his seal of approval. Rest I leave to the pious and GOD fearing readers what they want to believe. Thus Allah is and can NOT be the same GOD in whom Prophet Abraham, Issac, Ismail, Jacob, Moses, King David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jermaih.... and Jesus believed in and some of them gave their life for HIS Glory.

A well wisher!!
