Hello there, I have a question.

I ask this because I'm honestly curious.

I know somebody, who is Christian, who presented an argument that "allah" translated to Hebrew means "curse" and something else related to an idol or a demonic figure. He claimed that this piece of information is one of the reasons why Islam is false.

I was curious if anyone here has heard this argument before, if so, how would you respond?

Thank you,

Edit: Wow, thanks for the responses everyone! This was very informative. I'll be sure to bring up these points if he's to mention that claim again 👍
