Allah
- This is an Arabic word which means "the One
True God." Most Muslims in the West use Allah and
God interchangeably.
Allah
( allahu) is the Arabic word for "God". A related
Arabic term, Allahumma, corresponds to the Hebrew
divine name of Elohim; both being ultimately derived
from Proto-Semitic ?il, c.f. Hebrew El). The word
Allah is traditionally used by Muslims, but it is
not used in Islam exclusively; Arab Christians and
Arab Jews also use it to refer to the monotheist deity.
(wikipedia)
The supreme God of all creation. He is known as "God"
or "Father" to the Christians, and as "El" or "Yahweh"
to the Jews. This assumes the Qur'an is true in saying
that "our God is the same as your God". Christians
and Jews might not always be inclined to agree with
this. See the article "Is Allah the God of the Bible?
(Answering
Islam )
The Arabic term for God. The word was used for local
gods in Arabia before Muhammad began to use it for
the one God that revealed His messages to him. Arab
Christians and Jews also use the term. Arabs frequently
use the word inshallah, meaning "if God wills," which
suggests that whatever happens in life will be a result
of God's will. (Israel
