Could some list the refutitations like the moon god and so on and then type the answers to them and have it as a sticky that way it will help inshallah the brothers and sisters and they will be ready when people ask them.
I can start it off if you want me:
Proof That Allah Is Not a Moon God
Lately, a lot of Christians on the internet, such as Jack Chick at chick.com, have been spreading around the lie that Allah is only a pagan moon god. But that is obviously no more than a lie, and one parroted all too willingly by Christians who don't bother to find out the facts. What the Koran, the ultimate and final basis of all Islamic doctrine, say about this? The Koran says that God made the moon for the sake of helping us tell time:
It is [God] who made the sun a radiance, and the moon a light, and determined it by stations, that you might know the number of the years and the reckoning.
(- 10:05 -)
Noble Quran
As such, it is subjected to us:
[God] subjected to you the night and day, and the sun and moon.
(- 16:12 -)
Noble Quran
Allah is in full control of the moon as well as the sun:
[God] subjected the sun and the moon, each one running to a term stated. He directs the affair; He distinguishes the signs; haply you will have faith in the encounter with your Lord.
(- 13:02 -)
Noble Quran
If thou askest them, "Who created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they will say, "God." How then are they perverted?
(- 29:61 -)
Noble Quran
As a result of this, the moon worships Allah:
Hast thou not seen how to God bow all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth, the sun and the moon, the stars and the mountains, the trees and the beasts, and many of mankind?
(- 22:18 -)
Noble Quran
The blessed Abraham actually tried worshipping the moon, as well as the sun and the stars, but when he found how temporal they were, and how totally under the control of some higher power, he decided to worship the thing that made them all, and the earth as well, and that’s when that thing, our Lord, revealed Himself:
We were showing Abraham the kingdom ofthe heavens and the earth, that he might be of those having sure faith. When night outspread over him he saw a star and said, "This is my Lord." But when itset he said, "I love not the setters." When he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my Lord." But when it set he said, "If my Lord does not guide me I shall surely be of the people gone astray." When he saw the sun rising, he said,"This is my Lord; this is greater!" But when it set he said, "O my people,surely I am quit of that you associate. I have turned my face to Him whooriginated the heavens and the earth, a man of pure faith; I am not of the idolaters.
(- 6:75to79 -)
Noble Quran
Finally, nothing else is really needed to destroy the "moon god" argument but this verse:
Bow not yourselves to the sun and moon, but bow yourselves to God who created them, if Him you serve.
(- 41:37 -)
Noble Quran
So why is the symbol of Islam the crescent moon with the pentangle? It started during the crusades, but no one knows for sure why the Moors used that symbol. It was probably because, as I've pointed out, the Koran says that the moon is to be used by us for reckoning time. Maybe time was important to the moors, I don't know. Funny how the star next to the moon is never brought up by the people who make the "moon god" allegation. There's a pentangle (five-pointed star) in the design as well as a moon, and yet Christians never accuse us of basing our beliefs on Wicca. Just face it: the whole moon god idea is a big lie, and a really stupid one at that.
Despite all of Christians' attempts to prove the contrary, Allah is unmistakably and undeniably the same god as Jahweh. It does not change a thing that Jahweh is claimed by Christians to be a Trinity despite the Bible saying nothing about that, and even emphasizing repeatedly the oneness of Jahweh (never mentioning a threeness in the oneness--except in 1 John 5:7, which is universally considered a medieval interpolation--say, doesn't the need for such an interpolation to have been put in mean anything to you?), while the Koran rightfully denies the Trinity. It's the same God in both texts who sent the same score of prophets mentioned in both books, and the Koran even says:
Certainly they disbelieve who say; Surely, Allah--He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all those who are on the earth?
(- 05:17 -)
Noble Quran
I used M.H. Shakir's translation there, because Arberry always renders the Arabic "Allah" as God. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but I wanted to show that the allegation here is that Christians claim that the blessed Messiah is Allah, not that he is "their god," but that he is Allah.(Note: soon I'm going to add to my "Bible and Koran" section a series of parallels I have found where the texts agree, so that Christians can see that much of the Bible is contained in the Koran just as much of it is corrected.)
