What did Muslims control between late 500S and the 1500s?

Answer 1

Between Muslim and Christian there is GREAT DIFFERENCE. While the word "ALLAH" means "GOD" IN A SENSE, Christians would never use it as THE NAME OF GOD. Christians would only use that word AS A GENERIC TERM. Christians BELIEVE The Bible OF THE OLD AND New Testament, WHICH DECLARES THE NAME OF GOD TO BE THE ONE TRUE GOD WHO IS CREATOR OF ALL, AND Jesus Christ HIS SON: JHVH. Christians--who were nicknamed that--believe every word of the LAW AND THE WRITINGS AND THE PROPHETS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS OF THE BIBLE RECOGNIZED AS THE CANON OR LIST OF PRIMARY BOOKS, ALONGSIDE WHICH THERE ARE OTHERS: GENESIS--creation, EXODUS--escape from EGYPT, LEVITICUS--about THE LAW, NUMBERS--ORGANIZING, DEUTERONOMY--MORE LAW, Joshua--replacing THE SINNERS, Judges--government by PROPHETS, RUTH--a picture of the true people of GOD FROM MOAB, 1 Samuel--about to segue from prophet to king, 2 Samuel (some people call some books different names for the same books, Kings and Chronicles AND SUCH)--the beginnings of kings, 1 Kings--starting with Saul AND DAVID, 2 Kings (some folks list 3 and 4 Kings but they are names; the content is the same in all these books)--on down the line of KINGS IN HALF THE KINGDOM, 1 Chronicles--recapping kings from another viewpoint OF THE OTHER HALF, INCLUDING CREATION, 2 Chronicles--on down the line of KINGS IN THAT OTHER HALF OF THE KINGDOM TILL THE CONQUEST BY BABYLON AND END OF CAPTIVITY; THEN WE GET TO THE REBUILDING AND RECAP OF ALL THE PROPHETS WHO WARNED AGAINST CAPTIVITY PRIOR: Ezra--returning eventually from Persia now IRAN, Nehemiah--returning EVENTUALLY FROM SUSA, A CAPITAL OF PERSIA NOW IRAN IN IRAN AND IRAQ, ESTHER--an example of LIFE IN PERSIA ABOUT THAT TIME, JOB--in the area of SYRIA TO JORDAN DOWN TO PETRA/SELA AND LIFE IN THAT AREA, Psalms--the writing from the kingdom-when-ONE prior to conquest of praise and prayer, Proverbs--the writing from the kingdom-when-ONE prior to conquest of WISDOM, Ecclesiastes--writing from THE-ABOUT-TO-BE-DIVIDED kingdom of observations of both wisdom and foolishness, Song of Solomon--the last song by the one who DIVIDED THE KINGDOM BY HIS BEHAVIOUR BEFORE THE DIVISION, AND THE BEGINNING OF THE PROPHETS-NOT-IN-ORDER WHO PROPHESIED AGAINST ISRAEL Isaiah--prophecies of ISRAEL AND ANYONE ELSE WHO IS EVIL OF THE OTHER NATIONS (messiah prophesied here and in all the other books, JESUS CHRIST), Jeremiah--prophecies right at the very end of the kingdom into CAPTIVITY, Ezekiel--prophecies WHILE IN CAPTIVITY IN THE AREA-OF-THE-RIVER-KHABUR FROM SYRIA TO TURKEY, Daniel--prophecies DURING THE CAPTIVITY ENCOMPASSING BABYLON/IRAQ, MEDO-PERSIAN/IRAN KINGDOMS PROJECTING INTO THE FUTURE, Hosea--warning to Israel conquest WAS COMING, BEGINNING WITH THE ASSYRIANS/IRAQ, Joel--more prophecies on into the far future AGAINST ALL NATIONS, Amos--listing of nations, NONE EXCLUDED, WHO WILL RECEIVE PUNISHMENT JUST AS ISRAEL DOES INTO THE FUTURE, FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR, Obadiah--narrowing it down to those of EDOM AND ESAU IN CURRENT JORDAN FAR INTO THE FUTURE, JONAH--an example-specifically-Nineveh-NOW-MOSUL-OF-IRAQ REPENTANCE RESPONSE TO PROPHECY TO AVOID PUNISHMENT, Micah--specifically far-future conquests AND WHO WILL SURVIVE, Nahum--Nineveh-area of IRAQ IF SHE DOES NOT REPENT PUNISHMENTS IN THE FAR FUTURE, Habakkuk--THE WHOLE WORLD TO BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE of THE LORD YHVH, Zephaniah--bad days PROPHESIED EVEN DURING THE TIMES OF A GOOD KING FOR WHAT HAD COME BEFORE IN ISRAEL-DIVIDED, Haggai--the beginnings of hope of REBUILDING AUTHORIZED BY THE KING SUCCEEDING FROM THE MEDO-PERSIAN/IRAN LINEAGE, Zechariah--more in the time of that conquering king who authorized REBUILDING and predictions FAR INTO THE FUTURE, Malachi--rebuke of THE WAYS OF ISRAEL BEFORE THE COMING CONQUEST and identification of THE FINAL JUDGMENT COMING FAR INTO THE FUTURE BEYOND EVEN THE BABYLONIAN CONQUEST ON ALL WHO DO UNJUSTLY IN ANY KINGDOM<3+W--Christians believe every word of these books which precede both their AND MUSLIM BOOKS; not all who claim to be Christian ARE; Christians believe ALL the books AS THE APOSTLES CLAIMED TO REPRESENTED BY THE APOSTLE PAUL and are generally ignorant of MUSLIM BOOKS WHICH THEY WOULD OF COURSE BELIEVE SHOULD AGREE WITH THOSE SCRIPTURES AND UPHOLD THEM IN ORDER TO BE TRUE IN THE WAY THAT CHRIST JESUS STATED WHO CONFIRMED HIS OWN PROPHECY USING THOSE VERY SAME SCRIPTURES AS BEING THE SON OF GOD-THE-FATHER ALTHOUGH AS BEING THE VERY WORD OF GOD HIMSELF HE COULD BE CONSIDERED NOT TO BE A SON AT ALL AND VERY DEFINITELY GOD TO BE ONE
