Steve,

The Pagan Arabs before the revelation of Islam used to refer to three sun goddesses as "Allah." However, Islam destroyed all idolatry. "Allah" in Islam is the One True God and does not refer to any sun goddess. Ask any Muslim if he/she knows anything about "goddesses or gods" and they will answer "no" because they are not in Islam.

So the problem you have identified was that of the Pagan Arabs before the revelation of Islam. Islam does not teach nor has it ever taught the worship of anyone other than God.

Peace be unto you,
norris
