Warned: Wrong section. (Moved to Religion)
I dont wana go to deep down the rabbit hole, but if Allah seemed non existent before Islam, then is it possible that this could have been a modernised name for a pre-existing god/God?

The question should be WHAT is allah, not who.

Reason: no personification of what is described as ' outside of human paradigm'. Which means that if you take all human knowledge on all levels of being and all areas known to mankind, that thats not allah.

It also means that when one experiences something new, the old dies, but allah doesnt change and still is outside of human paradigm.

True.
I wrote that, cause the surge for allah in history made me realize that.

Lets put it different when allah is beyond human, a creator god who has created several universes and rules them at allahs own term, dont you think it was allah, the Nameless One, the Invisible One all along?

And doesnt it make sense for a human to name anything, as allah ordered us so.

Our body is our veil, our roots are our glasses. Look at what calls you behind the veil of the name allah. Those are the old gods.

I've been wondering about this too especially since part of my practice is doing stuff from sufism. :rolleyes:

I spoke to some sufis who had completely different opinions than the majority.
One of them was sure that Allah is just a deity. Another thought it's nothing but a group of spirits.

There are some who think it's just an egregore.

Whatever it is, it has pretty strong hot and powerful energy.

The Quran and effects that come feel like a powerful magical system with distinctively different spirits than any other system. Great purifying effects, peace of mind, harmony, excellent spiritual states, all kinds of results.

Allah was existed before Islam, as Mohamad father's name was (Abdullah), even people warshiped to Allah before Islam beside Allah daughters (LAAT, MANAT, OZZA)

Its always good practice to ask the people practicing the religion what they worship instead of trying to historiographically or culturally point to some other diety as the true identity. Muslims claim "Allah" is the one true god of Abraham. The word Allah means "The God". As magicians we believe in intent. So if Muslims claim that Allah is the one true God of Abraham then that's what they're worshiping.

A false god with no reality. A typical thought construct from a common primitive metaphysical model of reality with an imagined transcendent god at the pinnacle of it.

Neoplatonism, ideas big enough to hold everyone and everything. The more esoteric Muslims are our Neoplatonic brothers, just in another cultural context.

This one is really good.

Illuminating the Divine: The Influence of Neo-Platonism in Islamic Philosophy
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!

"Illuminating the Divine: The Influence of Neo-Platonism in Islamic Philosophy" explores the profound synthesis of Neo-Platonic thought with Islamic intellectual traditions, a fusion that has shaped the contours of Islamic philosophy, theology, and mysticism for centuries. This work delves into the lives and legacies of seminal Islamic philosophers who, inspired by the rich tapestry of Neo-Platonism, embarked on a quest to understand the divine and articulate a vision of the cosmos that bridges the finite with the infinite. Through their engagement with Neo-Platonic principles, these thinkers developed sophisticated metaphysical frameworks, ethical theories, and models of knowledge that continue to resonate within the Islamic world and beyond. This book invites readers on a journey through the intellectual endeavors of these philosophers, illuminating the paths they carved in the pursuit of knowledge and the universal quest for understanding the divine. Keywords: Neo-Platonism, Islamic philosophy, metaphysics, theology, mysticism, Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, Suhrawardi, Ibn al-Arabi, emanation, unity of being, intellectual history, cross-cultural transmission.

Allah is a demonic force. If you're from a buddhist background and become somewhat sensitive, you'll be repelled by Islam.

Purifying effects? Their goal is an eternal fuckfest in heaven, with the same words to describe beautiful serving boys as they use for the houris. How do you define purity? Freedom from lust? Even old Mohammed did not have that.

Ananda, I get what you're saying - and I will never try to erase you're lived experiences!

From a Vajrayana Buddhist perspective, every religion can have the good and bad manifestations, the cool and the hot, the kind and the aggressive, the peaceful and the warlike. We humans take The Infinite and make it to be good or bad. In my view, we are That which creates meaning itself and who have free will.

I feel we also need to engage with those who are making evil spirits (or spirits turned evil), as well as the systems of oppression who make them feel they need evil on their side. and encourage them to make kind and gracious manifestations. It will be a very long journey, sadly, I also feel.

Isn't that just the Arabic word for God or something?

To understand what is allah, i suggest looking up 2 theories. The first is about egreggores . When humans put faith and power into something, it can create something that would seem like a deity. The 2nd theory is a persona is created, and another being takes on this persona to feed off humans. This is also mentioned in a translation of the demonic bible, what is a god or deity but another fallen angel or devil however you want to call it. Humans defining allah and believing about allah in a specific way despite what the word means, allah isn't the god if you are able to sense. While i have experience to go into far more detail, i would end up banned if i were to mention it even if it doesnt break the rules.

All deities humans worship require sustenance, they dont have raw strength to win against anyone strong, but any deity with sufficient sustenance can affect people. Human faith is stronger than humans realise but it is not the end all be all, not even human souls. So while some will proclaim that deities can be easily defeated, it is entirely ignored that for as long as deities are worshipped, they will respawn immediately for as many times they are defeated, and thus trying to kill a currently worshipped deity is a terrible and inefficient way to fight it.

As far as supernatural standing goes with other beings, allah is very familiar with djinns, one could say commands a vast army of djinns. This is because of the association and practice of working with djinns by muslims in the past. Islam's supernatural beings dwelled in the sky realm, a location of multiple layers consisting of interconnecting cities where you can view the surface of the earth from the sky. (this location has description and significance in scripture, including a supposed location and description of the throne of god)

What really makes allah more of the 2nd theory is because of the concept of submission. A lot of worship and giving your soul is an anti divine concept, hence allah cannot be the god because of this core concept within islam. Hence written inscription does not work out if the majority of belief of something is different i.e. how allah looks like based on sensing vs scripture.

The Source has no names, but the Muslims call Him Allah. Allah is the same thing I call Source or The Universe. My best advice is to verify it for yourself. Don't believe a word I say.

Allah is just a generic name for God that both Arabic speaking Christian’s and Muslims use. But the energy of Islam in particular is markedly different from Buddhism, the Vedic religion and even Christianity.
