Etymology

Medallion showing 'Allah' in Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey.
.The term Allāh is derived from a contraction of the Arabic definite article al- "the" and ʼilāh "deity, god" to al-lāh meaning "the [sole] deity, God" (ho theos monos).^ Allah doesn't mean God in Arabic.

 ^ Arabic-speaking Muslims (and other Muslims) obviously mean something different, and the question is whether their usage of the term is different enough that it would prevent prayers they address to Allah from being prayers addressed to God.
  • JIMMY AKIN.ORG: Allah = God? 10 February 2010 11:011 UTC www.jimmyakin.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ In particular, the term "human sacrifice" is elsewhere always used to mean that human beings kill another human being as a deliberate act of appeasement to the gods.

 [4] .Cognates of the name "Allāh" exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.^ The word alah does exist in Hebrew but it is not a proper name and it never refers to God.
  • NCCG.ORG New Covenant Church of God - B'rit Chadashah Assembly of Yahweh - New Covenant Ministries Islam Page - 1. The True Origin of 'Allah': The Archaeological Record Speaks 10 February 2010 11:011 UTC www.nccg.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ If the Muslim believes that YHWH is a title only, then how come he/she can't prove this from the Semitic language of Hebrew other than quoting English translations and sources?

 ^ Shouldn't they use the word TUHAN? Do they print God's name as Allah in their English or other language prints besides Bahasa Malaysia?
  • The Nut Graph | For Allah’s sake 10 February 2010 11:011 UTC www.thenutgraph.com [Source type: Original source]

 [3] The corresponding Aramaic form is אֱלָהָא ʼĔlāhā in Biblical Aramaic and ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ʼAlâhâ or ʼĀlōho in Syriac.[10]
.The contraction of al- and ʼilāh in forming the term Allāh ("the god", masculine form) parallels the contraction of al- and ʼilāha in forming the term Allāt ("the goddess", feminine form).^ The Qur'an uses two terms "Ruh-Allah" and "Ar-Ruh-Al-Qudus" for the Spirit of God.
  • The Ruh/Rouh of Allah (SWT) 10 February 2010 11:011 UTC www.al-qiyamah.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ If Allah is a common term for God in Arabic what is its plural form?

 ^ Thus in Arabic al-Lah (the supreme name for God) is grammatically masculine, but the word for the divine and inscrutable essence of God al-Dhat is feminine.

Christianity

.Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allah" to mean "God".[3] The Christian Arabs of today have no other word for 'God' than 'Allah'.[6] (Even the Arabic-descended Maltese language of Malta, whose population is almost entirely Roman Catholic, uses Alla for 'God'.) Arab Christians for example use terms Allāh al-ʼab (الله الأب) meaning God the father, Allāh al-ibn (الله الابن) mean God the son, and Allāh al-rūḥ al-quds (الله الروح القدس) meaning God the Holy Spirit (See God in Christianity for the Christian concept of God).^ ALLAH is GOD all over mankind .

Typography

An example of Allāh written in simple Arabic calligraphy.
The word Allāh is always written without an alif to spell the ā vowel. .This is because the spelling was settled before Arabic spelling started habitually using alif to spell ā.^ The fact that the word Allah is spelled alphabetically indicates to us that the word is used by other than Arabic-speaking countries and therein lies the fact that the word Allah has been used to identify a "higher being".
  • The Nut Graph | For Allah’s sake 10 February 2010 11:011 UTC www.thenutgraph.com [Source type: Original source]

 However, in vocalized spelling, a small diacritic alif is added on top of the shaddah to indicate the pronunciation.
One exception may be in the pre-Islamic Zabad inscription,[35] where it ends with an ambiguous sign that may be a lone-standing h with a lengthened start, or may be a non-standard conjoined l-h:-
  • الاه : This reading would be Allāh spelled phonetically with alif for the ā.
  • الاله : This reading would be Al-ʼilāh = "the god" (an older form, without contraction), by older spelling practice without alif for ā.

Unicode

Unicode has a codepoint reserved for Allāh, ﷲ = U+FDF2. This character according to the official Unicode specification is a ligature of alif-lām-lām-shadda-(superscript alif)-hā (اللّٰه U+0627 U+0644 U+0644 U+0651 U+0670 U+0647). .There is, however some confusion arising from the fact that Arabic typography usually features a llāh glyph without the preceding alif, which only occurs phrase-initially (or with hamzatu l-waṣl آ in Qur'anic orthography).^ However, there is a possibility that there are some Muslims who would then question the narrator of this hadith - whether he was considered weak or authentic.
  • Sufi Aulia Allah Khwaja Gharib Nawaz Ajmer Sharif,India 10 February 2010 11:011 UTC khwajagharibnawaz.com [Source type: Original source]

 ^ However there is a problem since the Arabic Bible uses Allah as a generic term while the Quran uses this word as a personal name.

 Consequently, the majority of Arabic Unicode fonts do not conform with the specification and have a glyph without the alif at this position (e.g. those provided by Linotype, the great majority of those licensed to or developed by Microsoft, those of Arabeyes.org, SIL's Lateef and the fonts of CRULP developed in Pakistan), while others have the prescribed form with alif (e.g. SIL's Scheherazade, Adobe Arabic distributed with the Middle-Eastern version of the Adobe Reader 7, Arial Unicode MS, and Arabic Typesetting, distributed with VOLT and with Microsoft Office Proofing Tools 2003).
The calligraphic variant of the word used as the Coat of arms of Iran is encoded in Unicode, in the Miscellaneous Symbols range, at codepoint U+262B (☫).

[[File:|thumb|left|120px|Allah spelt in Arabic letters]] The word Allah (الله) is the Arabic term for God, or in other words, the Arabic God. In Islam, Allah is the main word for God. Muslims use 99 Names of God to describe God, but Allah is the most common of these and means all of them. When a Muslim says Allah, all of the other names of God are thought of as part of it. Muslims also believe that this word tells about God's being a single entity and as being without wrong or defect and of God having no partner.

In Arabic, the name is composed of four letters, ا ل ل ه (or Alif Lam Lam Ha) which when brought together make الله. Most Arab Christians believe that Allah is made up of three divine beings; the Father, Son and Spirit, that together they make up God.

"Allah" is often used by Muslims, when they are praying. Muslims have a faith in one God, the one who made everything, the one judge and only the one who has power over all things.
