When two faiths have so many similarities, it is likely that one evolved from the other. Hinduism being older than the Quran, it is likely that Shiva tatvam is what is accepted in the Quran for Allah.

MECCA STANDS AS A TESTIMONY OF KING VIKRAMADITYA'S INDISPUTABLE LOVE FOR LORD SHIVA
According to archeological surveys and historical evidence, Arab was under the reigns or kingship of Vikramaditya. Vikramaditya's love for Lord Shiva is well known. Hence, he built a Shivalingam at Makkeshwara (now called Mecca).
THE NAME ARAB A DERIVATIVE OF SANSKRIT WORD "ARAV"......
Before Muhammad came up with the religion Islam, Arabia was under the rule of Sanatan Dharma (Vikramaditya). Arabia was center of the Vedic civilization. The word “Arab” is derived from a Sanskrit word “Arav", which means the horses. Hence, Arab is known as the land of horses.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S UNCLE WAS AN ARDENT FOLLOWER OF SHIVA
Prophet Muhammad's uncle (Chacha) Umar-bin-e-Hassham (also known as Abu Hakam or Abu Jahl) was a well known poet whose famous Arabic poem in praise of Lord Shiva is included in Sair-ul-Okul and cited on a column in the (fire worship pavilion in the rear garden of the) Lakshmi Narayan Temple in New Delhi.
A poem written by Labi-Bin-E- Akhtab-Bin-E-Turfa, who lived in Arabia around 1850 B.C., mentions all four Vedas. This verse can be found in Sair- Ul-Okul which is an anthology of ancient Arabic poetry. It was compiled in 1742 AD under the order of the Turkish Sultan Salim.

LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE IN OF ARAB IN HISTORY...
The language of the land was Sanskrit and it later gave way to Arabic.
Many Arabic words have Sanskrit origin.
All the four Vedas find mention in Arabic literature.
Thousands of words that were derived from Sanskrit still survive in Arabic.
Some poems have been written which mention Hindu rule in the area and also mention famous kings like Vikramaditya.
A noted scholar of history, W.H. Siddiqui says that "The Arab civilization grew up intensively as well as extensively on the riches of Indian trade and commerce. Nomadic Arab tribes became partially settled communities and some of them lived within walled towns practiced agriculture and commerce, wrote on wood and stone, feared the gods and honored the kings."
TO ESTABLISH SUPREMACY OF ISLAM, PROPHET MUHAMMAD BROKE DOWN 360 IDOLS OF SAINTS, GURUS, KINGS, AND AVATARS... There were 365 idols Hindu Devi, avatars, saints and kings broken down by Muhammad to establish the supremacy of Islam in Kaaba. Archaeological findings prove this.
The Kaaba was a Hindu shrine that was captured by Muslims. The black stone which is a symbol of Lord Shiva is still found in Kaaba (now known as SANG-E-ASWAT meaning ashweta stone or black stone). According to encyclopedia Islamia Muhammad’s grandfather and uncles were priests at Kaaba temple which had 360 idols.
All other Vedic Idols could be found buried in the precincts or trampled underfoot in labyrinthine subterranean corridors if archaeological excavations are undertaken. In fact, the names of the holiest of Muslim cities Mecca and Medina come from the Sanskrit words Makha-Medini which means the land of Fire-Worship. Vikramaditya's inscriptions are still found in Kaba.
INFLUENCE OF SANATAN DHARMA ON ISLAM-
SEVEN CIRCUMAMBULATION OR SAPT-PARIKRAMA: The practice of taking seven circumambulations known as Saptaparikrama has its origins in Santana Dharma. Since "Makka" comes from 1008 names of Shiva ie:
"Makkeshwara" which is of Tamil origin..... The 7 circumambulations at Mekka is nothing but a Vedic ritual followed by Muslims even today. Since Muhammad copied many things from Hinduism and made it opposite.... the circumambulation was copied in an anticlockwise direction.
ISLAM'S UNIVERSAL SYMBOL - THE MOON CRESCENT - Muslims were followers of Shiva and hence worshipers of the Moon. The Universal symbol of Islam comes from Lord Chandrasekhara ardha chandrama.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME- ALLAH......The word Allah is derived from Arabic roots AL(meaning Moon) and ILLAHA (God). Thus, Muslims worship the moon God ALLAH or Chandrasekhara.
MODERN PROOF OF ISLAMIC DEDICATION TO SHIVA - THE NAMAAZ OF "ISHA".
The most important namaaz or prayer for Muslims is the ISHA namaz. ISHA is a Sanskrit name meaning "eesh or supreme". It is one of the most important names of Shiva. (For further reference and to know more on this pleases refer to ISHA UPANISHAD belonging to the SHUKLA PAKSHA YAJURVEDA)
MEANING OF THE WORD "NAMAAZ" AND ITS 5 TIME OFFERING:
The word NAMAZ is derived from the Sanskrit roots NAMAHA (to a bow) and YAJA (worshiping). Muhammad used the word namaz to describe his prescribed method of prayer. The recital of the Namaz five times a day owes its origin to the Vedic injunction of Panchmahayagna (five daily worship- Panch-Maha-Yagna) which is part of the daily Vedic ritual prescribed for all Hindus.
Because the Vedic custom was to pray to face the East, in its aversion for all things Pagan/Hindu, Islam directed its followers to pray facing only the west when in Mecca.
THE BRAHMANICAL OUTFIT OF MUSLIMS AND SHAVING OFF THE HEAD-
Even today Muslims follow the age-old custom of brahmins. Brahmins wore white dhoti and chadar and shaved their heads b4 havan, puja, etc. The same still happens in Mecca even today....have a look.....
With Islam came the flood of destruction, murder, plunder, and crime that destroyed the great Vedic heritage of Arabs.
Archaeological research has resulted in the discovery of historic sites in other Islamic countries like Afghanistan that prove its close religious-cultural affinity with Hindu India.
References to Afghanistan, its rivers, and towns are found in Rig Veda.
Even Syria is said to have a Hindu past, so much so that it derived its name from Surya or Sun. So, we can conclude that the whole of west Asia and Arabia had strong links to the Hindu culture which were snubbed by the later Muslim rulers.
The destruction of Hindu/Pagan and other non-Islamic relics of the past continues to this day.
