It seems that the Jews, especially the masses, had no
true conception of God and of religion as the Muslims
have had of Allah and Islam. Whenever the people of
Israel prospered and was successful in its wars, then
Jahwah was acknowledged and worshipped; but in adverse
circumstances, He was abandoned and the deity of a
stronger and more prosperous nation was adopted and its
idol or image worshipped. A careful study of the Hebrew
Scripture will show that the ordinary Jew considered his
God sometimes stronger or higher, and sometimes weaker,
than those professed by other nations. Their very easy and
reiterated relapse into idolatry is a proof that the Israelites
had almost the same notion about their El or Yahwah, as
the Assyrians had of their own Ashur, the Babylonians
of Mardukh, and the Phoenicians of their Ba’al. With the
exception of the Prophets and the Sophis, the Muslims of
Torah, the Israel of the Mosaic Law, never rose equal to
the height of the sanctity of their religion nor of the true
conception of their Deity. The faith in Allah and a firm
conviction and belief in a future life was not ingrained
and implanted in the spirit and in the heart of that people.

What a contrast, then, between the Muslims of the
Quran, the believers of the Muhammadan Law [1] and the
Muslims of Torah or the Mosaic Law!Has it ever been
seen and proved that a Muslim people abandoned its
Mosque, Imam, and the Quran, and embraced any other
religion and acknowledged that Allah was not its God?
Never! It is extremely unlikely that a Muhammadan
Muslim community, so long as it is provided with the
Book of Allah, the Mosque and the Mullah, could relapse
into idolatry or even into Christianity.

[1] . The term “Muhammadan” is used here to distinguish it from the Mosaic Law,
which both belong to Allah.(the author).
