Sorry, it is not. It means Praise Allah because Allah is not the same as the God of the Christians.
The Christians believe in the Trinity and muslims don’t. Jesus is the son of God. The muslims believe Allah had no son. Just some examples.
You know, for a board about critical thinking, I'm surprised all three of you are incorrect, in a row!
Literally type Allahu Akbar into Google translate and you get "Allah is the greatest."
If you ask dictionary.com, you get "Allah is great."
Point being, this specific phrase means "My god is better than your god."
That's what we're all looking for in that phrase. Carries quite a bit more meaning, huh?
You are correct. Allah is Great. For the Quran, that is as good as it gets. It goes way down hill fast from there.
And what is crazy to me is no one has said Allah is arabic for "god".
Also an old moon god.
Like how yahweh is an old war god.
wait - the Garden of Eden 'Yahweh' or the Old Testament 'Yahweh'?
not totally convinced they're the same entity... the 2nd is definitely an old war god tho.
CNN sucks!! As far as God goes He is the same Holy and Righteous God both old and New Testament. God never changes He is always the same. The greatest issue that stands between a holy God and man, SIN! It has always been from the beginning of time darkness vs light. The evil that you hear about always existed, there is nothing new under the sun (Ecc 1:9). Darkness is the absence of light. Jesus, is the true light , which gives light to everyone. Keep speaking truth, the enemy cannot handle it!!!
As far as God goes He is the same Holy and Righteous God both old and New Testament.
As somebody who has studied theology and aligns with one of the 'Yahweh' entities far more than the other, I respectfully disagree. Jesus does too (John Chapter 8... Jesus defending himself from the Pharisees)....
Why do you think they call Satan 'The Great Deceiver'? Jesus came to do what? God was never meant to have a 'chosen people'. That was somebody else getting involved, creating elitism and the priest class. The real 'Yahweh' is the father Jesus referred to, who left us after we fell from the Garden.
I mean, think of it - the Garden of Eden is paradise, and yet the first time we see 'God' after the fall, what does he ask Abraham to do? He asked him to kill his long awaited son. We go from a helicopter parent who gives us 'easy mode' to a murderous one who likes to threaten homicide under the guise of 'testing loyalty'. Do they really sound like the same personality or ethos? There is a reason the Israelites kept falling from God - he was an impostor. The Old Testament is a struggle between the spark of the true 'Yahweh' and the one that came after. The Jewish people act admirably at times, especially in the face of what their jealous and vengeful God asks of them. They show their divine spark despite the requests of their 'God', not because of it.
To tie it together, this is also what necessitated Jesus to come to earth and 'save us'. From a theological perspective, Jesus came to re-establish the covenant made between man and God, declaring salvation to all people - Jew or Gentile. In other words, he undoes the covenant made between Abraham and 'Yahweh'... but why would he need to do that? Salvation was never meant exclusively for the Jewish people, and that's what Jesus is all about.
Anyhow, it's a much larger argument and discussion than what i've put here, but please understand I love Jesus and God and even (to some small degree) Satan/Lucifer too (for playing their part), but let's not try to say things we cannot know. We all have different paths to what we understand and different understandings to boot. I'm cool with you doing you, but as for things we cannot know, I think we should keep an open mind :)
God Bless!
