The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural
world, for Romans 4:13 says that Abraham was made heir of the world by its Creator because he was free born. As a wife, Sarah was also included in the prophecy (Genesis 17:15–16). Sarah’s particular physiological makeup alone would produce God’s ordained nations and kings in the world (verse 16 nkjv: “And she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.”) To Hagar no such promise was ever made. Thus, the children of her son Ishmael, though precious because they are from Abraham, are not children of promise but of slavery (in the spiritual sense). Nevertheless, it is upon this premise that the prophet Muhammad founded his religion. Having a sort of awakening, he evidently discovered he and his people’s destiny in the account of Abraham’s conversion to the one true God that motivated him to abandon his native Chaldean polytheism. Consequently, Muhammed’s religious practices attributed to Abraham were adopted from, and blended with, the Mosaic Law and portions of Christianity. Moses’ law appealed because of its hygienic benefits, and collectively the two give us what today is called Islam. Although Islam is touted as one of the world’s three monotheistic religions, it remains paganistic in that its god Allah was not Abraham’s God. Muhammad may have been or desired to become monotheistic, as the Jews and Christians who know the one true God, but Allah as that one does not exist. Abraham’s God is not the god of Islam’s founding prophet and could not have been because the religion was born after Christ, whose seed birthed the last race of humans to ever be born on the earth. See Matthew 1:17; John 3:3–8; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15. Under this principle, Islam and subsequent religions were left with only two choices for existing; to be a Christian faith or to revive an ancient polytheistic one. Islam’s religious symbol of the lunar goddess Ishtar, the star and crescent, alludes to the possibility that it sprang from the latter. Accounts of how the symbol was adopted by Muslims say that it was taken from the moon goddess Diana who is a martial deity. The star and crescent appeared in the heavens during a great battle where Islamic states were under attack. Seeing the sign, one of its military leaders took it as a token from Allah that they would win the war, and fare well because of their beliefs. All religions—pagan, ancient, monotheistic, polytheistic, and supernatural— recount a spiritual nativity where their god approached their human father and/or mother to announce the god’s new life had been injected into the progenitor’s sperm. This did happen with Ishmael’s seed, but Allah is not the god who did it. It was done by the Jews’ Yahweh. Therefore, it can be said that Islam is monotheistic, but it is the only pagan monotheistic religion. Its universal
