Description

Allah – The Most Misunderstood, the fourth book of the Ancient Hebrew Never Died series, brings you the meanings of Allah and ILaha and the reason Allah is confused with a Moon-God, and the connection with the name of YHWH, with plenty of examples of usage in Yoruba, and more than 30 other variations of the title arabicised as Allah. Many Yoruba Hebrews lived in today’s Middle-East and Northern Africa before moving to join other Yoruba people in Sub-Saharan Africa, leaving an impression of their faith, language and culture behind, and the Islamic Quran and Hadiths are full of them – as we will see in this title and later ones in this series. The Arabic we know today is a mixture of at least three languages of which Yoruba is one, in the form of at least two of its dialects. Yoruba Muslims today, are so immersed in the ‘imported’ version of Islam that they completely miss the Yoruba origins of many of the Islamic words they use day-to-day in prayer and sermons, thinking they are purely Arabic. Enjoy!
