Why do Jews not love Allah?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Jews surely do love "Allah" for the term's translation in English is GOD.

Allah in Arabic = God in English = Dios in Spanish= Elohim in Hebrew.

Answer 2

The underlying supposition of this question, namely that Jews do not love God, is not only inaccurate but completely contrary to actual established Jewish practices. Religious Jews pray to God three times a day, a devotion that costs them 80 minutes (approximately) every week day and nearly 4.5 hours (approximately) every Saturday. During this time, God and his virtues extolled as well as the love he expresses for the Jews and Jews reciprocate.

As for the actual name "Allah", Allah is not a Name of God in either Islam or Judaism, but merely the word "God" in Arabic. (This is as opposed to "Jehovah" in certain Christian Sects being the actual name of the God they worship.) When worshiping Jews address God by a variety of titles befitting the aspect of God that they are trying to invoke. (This is similar to the Islamic Concept of the 99 Names.) In common parlance, Jews use the word "God" in whatever language they are commonly speaking. This lead to Jews in the Arab World (Mizrahim) using the word Allah often in common speech to refer to God and using many of the same Allah-based phrases that the Moslems use (like "Bismillah" or "Hamdullah" or "Inshullah" etc.).

Jews specifically love God because, in their view, God brought them out of slavery in Egypt and gifted them the Mosaic Law, which they see as the true Divine Law. In the Jewish View, this was an incredible act of Divine Compassion and the fomenting of a relationship with the Jewish People. Throughout The Bible, the relationship of God and the Jews is viewed as a love affair between a husband (God) and a wife (the Jewish people). This view of the Divine-Jewish relationship persists to this day.

The one difference that Jews have with Moslems is accepting the prophecy of Mohammed. Jews do not believe that it is possible to prophesy after the Biblical Period and as such, Mohammed clearly could not have received prophecy in the 7th Century C.E. Some Jews regard Mohammed as someone similar to Mohandas Gandhi in that he brought a new understanding, moderation, and union to a divided and repressed people. Some Jews regard Mohammed as a trickster, liar, and a thief because he defrauded people into believing that he received prophesy when such a thing is impossible. Most Jews hold an opinion closer to the former than the latter on that spectrum. Regardless of whatever opinion a Jew may have of Mohammed, almost no Jew loves him.
