The Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies and their allies have been call­ing for the destruc­tion of Islam open­ly ever since the advent of the Inter­net. A cur­so­ry glance at these fanat­i­cal and big­ot­ed web­sites will at once give the dil­li­gent read­er an idea of their geno­ci­dal ten­den­cies against the Mus­lim Ummah, unfair­ly equat­ing Islam with ter­ror­ism, and even denounc­ing Islam as equal to Nazism and hence Islam is not a reli­gion”, accord­ing to their big­ot­ed lens­es. While their inten­tion is clear (i.e. the destruc­tion of Islam), some lib­er­al Chris­tians who have tak­en this author to task for the so-called call” for the destruc­tion of Chris­tian­i­ty are bliss­ful­ly unaware of these devel­op­ments. Sad­ly too, some igno­rant lib­er­al Mus­lims from among the ummah are sid­ing with these pas­sive Chris­t­ian lib­er­als and are too caught unawares of this hid­den mis­sion­ary threat. Even more, there are groups who open­ly pan­der to the hid­den agen­das of the kufaar and open­ly side with them in their geno­ci­dal ambitions.

crescent moon in islam

Apart from the claim that Allah” is the name of the moon god, the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies also tend assert this claim by ques­tion­ing why do Mus­lims use the cres­cent sym­bol as a sym­bol for their reli­gion, or why is the moon being used in Islam to mark a new month. They engage into the log­i­cal fal­la­cy of equiv­o­ca­tion, that since Mus­lims use the cres­cent as the sym­bol of Islam, there­fore it fol­lows that Mus­lims wor­ship some kind of moon deity”. This is no more truer than claim­ing that since Judaism adopts the Star of David sym­bol, it fol­lows that the Jews con­sid­ers it as an object for wor­ship, or that Chris­tians wor­ship the Cru­ci­fix since it is used as its sym­bol. This paper would attempt to explain the sig­nif­i­cance of the moon in Islam, insha’allah.
