Allah the Arabic name of GOD

[zenzero]

Friend Godobeyer,

Kindly enlighten us:
If you say God and Allah are the just two ways of labeling the same entity then why do muslims never accept any other labels for Allah like God or Brahman??

Love & rgds

This word which some western people hate it (especialy the Christians) , and they insulting/mock it all the time .
In my experience (history) in chat with non-muslims , some people refer it to Idol , and some others said to Allah mean the moon , some said it's mean "camel" ....etc

as you knw Arabic is semitic langauge , it's a sister with Aramaic and Hebrew ,
the Aramaic is the langauge of Jesus (pbuh) ,and Hebrew is language OT

In Aramaic Jesus (pbuh) called God "Elahi" , and Hebrew they called God "Eloah"


I don't blame the atheists if they insult Allah/God , because they don't believe in God/Allah any way .
what i blame here some christians , and some believers in God/Allah in other religions .

As an Atheist I can tell you I don't mock it. I've actually been in debates saying the same thing how Allah, Elahi and Eloah are pretty much the same.

Thanks for the chat, but I don't care to expand on it - just wanted you to understand my opinion....

... I have killed so many Muslims in my life -- and just continue to pray moderate folks like you continue to gain influence so the killing may end.

Peace be with you,
S

I don't have to kill anyone , only in defence.....

hi zenzero
because Allah is arabic proper noun of God , then we the muslims have to pray God in arabic because the Quran is Arabic , it's not permission to pray to God (the 5 Prayers) in other langauge then Arabic , which mean the practice of the Salat (pray) is should be in Arabic .

this is the Salat :
Salat - Recherche Google

and there is other kind of praying , which mean is asking ,for exemple , asking God to save you or to the remedy you if you are sick .... this pray (asking ) is by any language .
this is an images explain it
الدعاء - Recherche Google

the first Pray (Salat ) is obligation , which mean the Muslim used to called God "Allah" 5 times in the day , which means that he read verses of Quran and his prayers (practices) in Arabic which contain the name of God (ALLAH), it's not acceptable to do the Salat by any other langauge , only in Arabic .

the conclusion : it's obligation for the muslims to called God in arabic "ALLAH"

Skimmed the Thread....You guys all do understand that 'Allah' is not a proper name like Joe or Pete right?
That it's just the English word 'God' or 'the God' (meaning the 'only' God, the same God as Jews and Christians) in the Arabic language. No one would think that the Arabic word for 'God' would be the English word 'God' would they? In English it's 'God' in Arabic it's 'Allah', the exact same thing translated into 2 languages.

Again you are missing the point - you can't call me out on my personal experience -- and since I never stated the hate that was presented to me was caused by Muslims starting anything, you are intentionally trying to be rude or trying to muddy the waters. Either way, I don't appreciate it.

Well it sounded to me like you were tying to use an attrosity commited against muslims to justify islomophobia and I don't apprecate that. If it was not your intent im sorry, but I needed to clarify for our fellow readers.

 

[Scott1]

No problem... That's why I stated several times it was evidence of nothing but my PERSONAL experience in Muslim populations.

I certainly would never intentionally misrepresent an attrosity... members of my church are being killed daily by Muslims -- I take this subject seriously.

Peace be with you.

Love peace and hapiness scott .. I would join you in your pray for peace and moderates

from wiki :

According to Islamic belief, Allah is the proper name of God,[27] and humble submission to His Will, Divine Ordinances and Commandments is the pivot of the Muslim faith.[5] "He is the only God, creator of the universe, and the judge of humankind."[5][6] "He is unique (wāḥid) and inherently one (ʾaḥad), all-merciful and omnipotent."[5] The Qur'an declares "the reality of Allah, His inaccessible mystery, His various names, and His actions on behalf of His creatures."[5]

but it's absolutly as you said , it's "God " in English and it's "Allah" in Arabic , it's the smae thing.(context)

Thank you Dirty Penguin for this information by youtube,you make it clear how allah is the same
for jews and muslims,but i hope to know where the word god came from,
since the actual name for god in both jews and muslim are similar.

 

[Iti oj]

I think god is an anglosaxon word.

 

[miss interpret]

allah might mean God but the greeks and the romans and many others had things given the title gods, does this mean they are all the same person?
