In greek, it's hamartia in the abstract (he sinned, that is sinful) and hamartema in the concrete (that is a sin)
In latin, it is "culpa"
In Hebrew, it's complicated - there are several words in the Hebrew texts that have been translated as sin, the most common is ra'ah, "evil" or "bad" with implications of "contrary to god." The word is a cognate with the Arabic word, "haram", "unclean". Hebrew also has "het" which is more along the lines of "missing the mark, to err." In Aramaic the word is "hobha" meaning both "sin" and "debt"
"Sin" is a thoroughly Germanic word, inherited from the Old English synn, itself a derivative of an older Germanic root "sunjo"
NABONIDUS HI, B

sorry to burst your bubble but please refer to a reliable sources before accusing another religion of worshiping something you think it does.
prophet Mohammed never told us to worship the moon GOD , that is false , correct your information please, you have been mislead , in Islam GOD ( Allah ) he who created the moon :
[6][96] (He is the) Cleaver of the daybreak. He has appointed the night for resting, and the sun and the moon for reckoning. Such is the measuring of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
another one from the Quran:
[7][54] Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!
another:
[10][5] It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light and measured out for it stages that you might know the number of years and the reckoning. Allâh did not create this but in truth. He explains the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail for people who have knowledge.
again :
[13][2] Allâh is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then, He rose above (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He has subjected the sun and the moon (to continue going round), each running (its course) for a term appointed. He regulates all affairs; explaining the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.
[14][33] And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and the day, to be of service to you.
[16][12] And He has subjected to you the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His Command. Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.
[21][33] And He it is Who has created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in an orbit floating.

The tribal deity of Muhammad's family (or tribe, rather) was Hubal. Sin may have existed in the Ka'aba separate from Hubal (although I don't know), but Muhammad's tribe didn't worship anything by the name of "Sin". "Il-Ilah" means "the deity", and wasn't the name of any god in the Pre-islamic arabian pantheon. Every deity may have easily been referred to as "Il-ilah". "Allah", however was a distinct and unique from the moon god, or any other gods that existed in the ka'abah at that time.

Dr UAE was using Islamic sources to explain how God in Islam is not what the previous poster was alleging. I fail to see how whether the Quran is the word of God or Muhammad's personal invention is relevant to this.
I think you misunderstood his post (or what Circular Reasoning is).

I knew most of this already, and it was all accurate, until you came to the point "The Arabs referred to "Hubal" as "Allah"". Neither your link, nor any other verifiable source confirms such a thing. Instead, in (and out of) the Islamic sources, Hubal and Allah are seen to be 2 separate entities.

I don't see how "And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through." (76:25-26) "confirms" Allah's lunar or night-sky status, as according to the text, muslims are instructed to worship him throughout the day.

Seeing how muslims are clearly instructed in the Quran NOT to worship the moon, and have it's use mainly as a marker of time, I'm confused as to how you got this impression.

The second line from the Wikipedia link says:
"Hubal (Arabic: هبل) was a moon god worshipped in Arabia, notably at Mecca before the arrival of Islam."

Of course you don't see, you are a Muslim.
You ignored this point:
The name of Mohammed's father in Arabic is Abd Allah. His uncle's name Obred Allah.
Abd Allah means servant of Allah .
Which Allah was Mohammed's father serving?

Using the kind of logics that have been expressed here, Christians worship Norse gods. The word God comes from Norse and was a title given to all deities, among them Odin and Thor. Just as little as Christians don't worship Odin and Thor when they use the word God to express the power and might the Christian God represents, and just as little as Christians worship Ba'al or Bel, which both means Lord, when they call upon their God, calling him Lord, just that little does a Muslim worship all allahs or eloahs or gods in this world, but Allah himself. Arb. Allah is the same word as Heb. Eloah, so get over it. It may be translated God, and like I said, the word God is of Norse origin and means deity. Allah is not a name. Elohim is not a name, they are proper words discribing the different aspects of the One God. Elohim means Forces [of the Universe]. Allah is singular as far as I know, skipping the plural intensive form we see in Hebrew, but the etymology of both words end in the same origin. Up through the ages, Eloah and Elohim has been used as general terms to discribe many different deities in Hebrew, just as Allah/allah in Arabic, and exactly like you would call Sin a god. So much for circular logics
