Moon-god in a Black Box?

It might sound ridiculous, but this is only one of many "Harsh Questions" we Muslims face today.
Here is the answer from - www.GodAllah.com

Answers to the Question by Yusuf Estes - He tells us...

The Most Fundamental Belief in Islam - is "There is only One God," the Creator, the Sustainer of everything.
In Arabic the word for this One Almighty God - is Allah.
Allah is not a foreign god, nor an idol. Arabic-speaking Christians use the same word for the Almighty.

The fundamental pillar of faith in Islam is to declare that "there is no deity worthy of worship except the One True Almighty God" (in Arabic: "La ilaha ill Allah").
God's Nature In the Qur'an, we read that Allah is Compassionate and Merciful.
He is Kind, Loving, and Wise.
He is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Healer. He is the One who Guides, the One who Protects, the One who Forgives.
There are traditionally ninety-nine names, or attributes, that Muslims use to describe Allah's nature.

A "Moon God"?
Some non-Muslims mistakenly think that Allah is an "Arab god," a "moon god," or some sort of idol. Allah is the proper name of the One True God, in the Arabic language used by Muslims all over the world. Allah is a name that is neither feminine nor masculine, and it cannot be made plural (unlike god, gods, goddess, etc). Muslims believe that there is nothing in the heavens nor on earth that deserves worship except Allah, the One True Creator.

Tawhid (Monotheism)
- The Unity of God Islam is based on the concept of Tawhid, or Unity of God. Muslims are strictly monotheistic, and fiercely reject any attempt to make God visible or human. Islam rejects any form of idol worship, even if its intention is to get "closer" to God, and rejects the Trinity or any attempt to make God human.

Quotes From the Qur'an
"Say, 'He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, and neither is He begotten; And there is nothing that can be compared to Him." Qur'an 112:1-4
In Muslim understanding, God is beyond our sight and understanding, yet at the same time, Allah is:
"nearer to us than our jugular vein" (Qur'an 50:16).
Muslims pray directly to God, with no intermediary, and seek guidance from Him alone, because:
"...Allah knows well the secrets of your hearts" (Qur'an 5:7).
And:
"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them). I respond to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on Me.
Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me, that they may walk in the right way." Qur'an 2:186

Signs of Allah
In the Qur'an, people are asked to look around them for the signs of Allah in the natural world.
The balance of the world, the rhythms of life, are "signs for those who would believe."
The universe is in perfect order: the orbits of the planets, the cycles of life and death, the seasons of the year, the mountains and the rivers, the mysteries of the human body.
This order and balance are not haphazard nor random.

The world, and everything in it, has been created with a perfect plan, by the One who knows all. Islam is a natural faith, a religion of responsibility, purpose, balance, discipline, and simplicity.

To be a Muslim is to live your life remembering God and striving to follow His merciful guidance.
