The postulation that Allah (the\xa0name\xa0of\xa0God in\xa0Islam) historically originates as\xa0the moon deity\xa0Al-Lat (who was\xa0worshipped in\xa0pre-Islamic Arabia) originates\xa0in\xa0early 20th-century scholarship, most prominently advocated by American evangelicals from the 1990s.\xa0In mythology, a\xa0lunar deity\xa0is a\xa0god\xa0or\xa0goddess\xa0of the Moon, sometimes as a personification. These\xa0deities\xa0can have a variety of functions and traditions depending upon the culture, but they are often related. Some form of Moon worship can be found in most ancient religions.
