Abdullahi “Slave of Allah”????

[Wisdom_Seeker]

Quick Question.

 

Abdullahi means “Slave of Allah” and not God. Mohammed’s father was named Abdullahi, he died before Mohammed was born and he wasn’t a Muslim. So how did his name came to be Abdullahi “Slave of Allah” :confused:

Abdullah son of Muttalib, the Prophets (SAWS) father was from the Quresih tribe of Arabia. The Quresih tribe of Arabia were the decendents of Ishmael, son of Prophet Abraham, and as we all know, Abraham was known as Khalil u Allah, or Allah's Friend for his unyielding loyalty and allegiance to his Lord, Allah.

 

Abraham, like prophets before him preached Tawheed ( Monotheism), his legacy was that of a rebel who defied his people's worship of false gods besides Allah to the point he was thrown in a blazing fire for the publics view. But the fire did not kill him, he lived on to deliver mankind from darkness to light through Issac , Ishmael and jacob, from jacob decended most prophets of Judeo Christianity, and from Ishmael, Mohammed SAWS decended.

 

In the beginning, Ishmaelites who decended from Prophet Abraham who resided in Makkah valley intermarried from Arab Jurhum tribe, from there, monotheism was introduced to Arabs, Abraham and Ishmael erected the Kaaba in Makkah for the sole worship of true God Allah SWT. Abraham asked Allah to make this edifice a magnet for mankind for the remembrance of Allah alone and his worship. in The years that followed, Makkah attracted many pilgrims and the decendents of Abraham, the Quresih tribe became the ( Sadana) custodians of the holy Kaaba.

 

Slowly, innovations were introduced in faith, which introduced the acceptance of other dieties in the form of saints to be worshiped with Allah, and at the time of Prophet Muhammad's declaration of Islam, there were 360 Gods (statues) in the holy Kaaba to be worshipe along with Allah.

 

The Quresih knew that Allah was the right god, and the rest, like Laata, Uzza and Manaat ( Daughters of Allah as they claimed, just like how Christians attribute Jesus as son of God) were worshipped as intermediaries who had authority for forgiveness, so polythiesm was born and continues to change colors every age so that man ends up worshipping other than Allah, the trues God.

 

The Qureish used to name their children to dedicate them to their dieties, names such as Abdal Uzza, Servant of Uzza, but Prophet Muhammad father was named Abdallah by his father Abdul Muttalib who was the custdian of the holy Kaaba, as a servant of Allah, to recognize the supremacy of the true God, Allah.

 

Quresih, the tribe of Prophet Muhammad, worshipped Allah, but not exclusively, which is the essence of Islam, hence the name Abdullahi.
