Allah is not the name of God.

Allah is not the name of God.

Therefore, Allah is the same as Elohim, Yahweh, Bhagavan, Parabrahma, and so on.

The issue is not that the names are many. The issue is that there is only One.

But there are not a bunch of gods.

Angels (devas/deities) are not gods.

Jesus was merely a human prophet.

Jesus was just a human being, like Muhammad, Buddha, Krishna, and Rama.

Just because people err and idolize someone does not make them God — no one is God, no one is a partner of God.

Worship and veneration do not exist in Islam.

Priesthood, ritual offerings (archana), anjali (salutations), and donation boxes (bhandara petti) do not exist in Islam.

Therefore, there is no point in equating and generalizing Islam alongside all other religions.

Recognize that the state you are in — viewing it that way — is a mistake.

Is it right to take something you somehow misunderstood, then view the correct original through that same mistaken lens — without making any effort to understand it correctly or grasp its true nature — and criticize it by equating and generalizing it?
