“Yahweh” the god of Israel:

 

The religious ideology of the Jews is based on the false notion of the chosen nation of Allah. This notion occurs in many of the texts of the Torah.[1]

 

The Torah says: “and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians… And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God.”[2] When we remember that the Torah was written at the time of the Babylonian Captivity, we realize that such writing could not have taken place but for the influence of the Babylonian and Canaanitish and other doctrines on the Jewish Doctrine. All the nations of the region had their own national gods that resided in the temples of the cities and villages. Similarly, after the Jews settled in Palestine they took the Temple as the residence of their gods. [3]

 

Their god Yahweh does not send prophets save from their own race, for “the Jewish doctrine refuses the idea that their own god is Allah Himself in the other Heavenly Messages, such as Christianity and Islam.”[4] Allah’s objective was to save the nation of the Children of Israel after He had chosen them as His favorable nation to the exclusion of all other nations. “……….[5]

Reading the Torah one may wonder amazingly who chose who: was it the Lord that chose His nation or the nation that chose its Lord!![6]

 

Answer: It was the Jews that chose “Yahweh” to be their god. The reader of the Torah will find the name of Yahweh rare in it. Besides, their forged name has several forms: “Yahwehu, Yahweh and Ahyeh”.

 

The name “Yahweh” appeared for the first time on page no. 90 in their Book, which means that Allah had revealed 98 pages, as they claim, without mentioning His Name! The First occurrence of His Name was in the Book of Exodus, Chapter Three. One thousand pages later the name was mentioned for the second time![7] It is unconceivable that Allah mentions His Name so scarcely while they claim that the Book is from Allah!![8]

 

The name “Yahweh” appeared for the first time when the Jews settled in Palestine. They wrote it with the letters (J.H.V.H.) without the consonant letters and without diacritics for they were nonexistent in Hebrew in the Seventh Century A.D. They then added the consonant letters to form the word “Jehovah” (pronounced  ‘Jahweh”). Prior to that time it had been unlawful for them to utter that name and so they used instead of “Yahweh” the name “Adonai” meaning the Lord. The meaning of the name “Yahweh” is a hidden secret and He is the god of the mountain topped by fire.[9]

 

Since they chose their god and chose his name, they felt free to describe him with the attributes that would serve their ideas and desires. Therefore, we find them dare address him impudently saying: “How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?”[10]
