Allah is not the Jehovah of the Old Testament. In fact, Allah is a version of the Moon-god, a pagan god in Arabia who was worshipped during pre-Islamic times. That is why the Crescent moon is the symbol of Islam, and the month-long Ramadan fasting begins and ends with the crescent moon.
The evidence of this can be found in the extensive archaeological digs in the Middle East over the last 100 years. A temple of the Moon-god was excavated in Ur by Sir Leonard
Woolley.
Woolley.
The examples of moon worship that he found can now be seen in the British Museum. In the 1950s, a temple to the Moon-god was excavated at Hazer in Palestine. Two idols of the Moon-god were found. Each was a statue of a man seated on a throne with a crescent moon carved on his chest.
Also in the 1950s, archaeologists excavated sites at Qataban, Timna, and Marib. Thousands of inscriptions from walls and rocks in Northern Arabia have also been collected. Reliefs and votive bowls used in the worship of the "daughters of Allah" have also been discovered.
The three daughters, al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat, are sometimes depicted together with Allah the Moon-god represented by a crescent moon above them. The archeological evidence demonstrates that the dominant religion of Arabia was the cult of the Moon-god.
The oldest name of the Moon God was Sin, of Sumerian origin.
Hence, Sinai, or the wilderness of Sin. While the Arabs worshipped 360 gods at the Kabah in Mecca, the Mood god was the chief deity. The Moon-god was also called Il or Ilah, which eventually became Allah.'
