Allah Is Not the One True God

<p><em>Allah Is Not the One True God</em> </p><p>In <em>Allah Is Not the One True God</em> Dr. Maxwell Shimba embarks on a groundbreaking exploration into the historical theological and doctrinal disparities between the God of the Bible Jehovah and the deity worshipped in Islam as Allah. Drawing from scriptural exegesis historical records and comparative religious studies Dr. Shimba unveils a compelling argument challenging the prevailing notion that Jehovah and Allah are the same entity.</p><p>The book meticulously traces the origins of Allah exploring ancient Near Eastern and Arabian traditions that predate Islam. Through rigorous analysis Dr. Shimba demonstrates how Allah's historical attributes and representations diverge significantly from the biblical understanding of God as revealed to Moses and the prophets. This detailed historical approach provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the roots of Islamic theology and its departure from biblical monotheism.</p><p>Dr. Shimba confronts controversial topics such as the Quran's omission of God's covenant name Jehovah and the theological implications of this absence. He raises critical questions about why the Quran fails to acknowledge the sacred name Yahweh which appears over 6000 times in the Old Testament. By juxtaposing biblical scriptures with Quranic verses he presents a thought-provoking critique of the theological inconsistencies within Islam.</p><p>With chapters addressing topics such as the anthropomorphic descriptions of Allah his portrayal as a deceiver and the Quran's references to Allah's physical attributes Dr. Shimba challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about Islamic theology. He also examines the Quran's stance on God's love and justice contrasting it with the Bible's depiction of a God who is both transcendent and relational.</p><p>This book delves into the moral and ethical implications of Islamic teachings including its historical practices of conquest and subjugation. Dr. Shimba critiques the Quran's portrayal of divine justice questioning whether it aligns with the biblical principles of mercy and righteousness. He also examines Muhammad's role in shaping the concept of Allah and explores the influence of pre-Islamic paganism on Islamic rituals and theology.</p><p>A bold and unflinching work <em>Allah Is Not the One True God</em> is not merely a critique of Islamic theology but a call for Christians to affirm the unique and unparalleled nature of the God of the Bible. It is a defense of biblical truth a challenge to ecumenical compromises and an invitation to deeper theological reflection.</p><p>This book is a must-read for theologians historians and anyone interested in understanding the theological distinctions between Islam and Christianity. Dr. Maxwell Shimba's work is both a scholarly triumph and a clarion call for believers to stand firm in their faith grounded in the infallible Word of God.</p>
