Section Two: Jewish Doctrines

The Jewish Doctrine about Allah:

“Allah” in the Torah is a god devoted to the Children of Israel exclusively and not a god for all human beings. The Children of Israel did not know the Only God, the God of all creation. They worshipped a national private god who would not accept the worship offered by anyone other than the Children of Israel.[1] The Torah says: “An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever.”[2] In Exodus Allah addresses Moses concerning Pharaoh: “And thou shalt say unto him, the LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness.”[3]

The Jews claim that they are monotheists, i.e. believing in the Oneness of Allah, but their approach to confirm and perfect monotheism in the Torah is not an approved one, for their Books do not refer to the Only God except through His dominance over and destruction of other gods. The first commandment does not refer to a universal ever-existing God, but refers to the god of Israel alone: “I am the LORD thy God…Thou shalt have none other gods before me.”[4]
