So as someone that has used Chaos Magick Rituals with Islam, I”ll tell you my experience directly with Allah.
In terms of pagan origins, he would more likely be El, and baal would be one of his sons. The narrative being that back before Prophet Muhammed, the Kabaa did have a statue of Baal that had the colors of Gold and Red that later was destroyed. Followers would pray to El for emergency situations such as need for rain, while Baal handled preety much the more general wants and needs, along with the many other Gods (360 deities were once at the site).
The narrative changed later with Prophet Muhammed because it became an argument of Monotheism vs Dyadic, along with if Images of these Gods were allowed or not. Walter Williams discusses this in his book, along with the possibility that Muhammed was actually Ibn Arabi, and he lists his family members being of evidence to this, along with the Quran not really being canonized until 1924 in Cairo. And the Quran quoting many different societies and civilizations texts around it.
Point being that when people try to put history on a magick book, like the Ars Goetia claiming that it was the same demons of Solomon, when really the book came out much later and more than likely did not relate to Solomon at all. But it didn’t matter, people still got magical results from it. Same thing applies to the Quran.
My Experience with Allah:
So Contrary to what everyone else says, Allah can be actually a very calming being. I worked through a lot of shadow work with him from a messed up life I had. The real issues start is the misinformation you get from the charlatans with big beards and claims of “orthodoxy” (sunni vs shia), who do nothing more than fear monger and bark at people. The sufis have a much better understanding of Islam and Allah, however you have to be careful as some are cults, and others fall into the orthodox narratives of fear mongering.
So Allah does answer prayers, and he wants you to read your prayers with pure Focus (kushoo), really get into these feeling states while asking for something from him, he wants you to ask him, and continue to ask him, as he loves to grant your desires.
He also wants momentum of your energy, so you should pray 3-5x times a day to build up your magical energy, and anything to add to that energy such as exercising, meditating, accomplishing goals does add to this energy/aura.
In fact a sufi tip here, if you really want something, no matter how taboo it is, do some zikr, and after a bit of zikr, just ask for what you desire from allah, and do a bit more zikr after that. Note, that you should FEEL the zikr, as you recite each name of Allah, really FEEL IT. If you say for example, “Al Wadud” FEEL being LOVED, if you want to be loved. Know that its done, and its already granted.
Here’s the part you may not like, Allah grants it, yes. However, he does it when it on HIS timing. So Ive been through situations where I’ve asked something yesterday, and it happens the next day. And there are other times, where I see a manifestation comes like 5 years later, and I just think “Allah…I wanted this years ago…I don’t want this now…wtf”. I believe people when they say he’s Saturnian Energy, because his timing definitely seems that way.
And yes, the Quran does have magical value, and if you want a non-orthodox views, unfortunately a lot of those sufi groups don’t really post online. However, there is some books I want you to look into:
-Shams Al Maarif
-Esoteric Islam A Hermetic Perspective on Islamic Traditions by Sachal Smith
-Secret Practices of the Sufi Freemasons by Rudolf von Sebottendorf
