What is the name of god in the practice of Islam?

Muslims (and Arabic-speaking Christians) use the name "Allah" to refer to the One True God. Muslims (and Arabic-speaking Christians) use the name "Allah" to refer to the One True God. ADDITIONAL CORRECTION: The Arab word for God is Allah. Arab speaking Christians do not refer to the same God as the God of Islam. The Christian God is not the God of Islam.


Is it true that Allah is the one and only God of Islam?

Allah is the Arabic word meaning God. There is a big misconception that Allah is some type of Muslim God and not the same as the god of the Jews and Christians. However, if you look into an Arabic Bible, in the first page of the Old Testament, you will see Allah (الله) written many times, even in the first verse. Therefore, yes, God, or Allah, is the founder of the Islamic religion.

Can non Muslims use the word Allah?

Allah is God name as named by God in Quran in Arabic. Allah is God of all what is known and not known. Anyone can use the name Allah (as named by God in the Arabic Quran) or use God as the Creator and as the one and only one God.


What does the symbol Allah in Arabic mean?

Allah is probably from the roots 'Al' which means 'the' and 'Ilaah' which means god. It means "The God". It is also His name. Most people think that "Allah" is different than the God of the Bible, but that is not true. In the Old Testament, in Hebrew, the word used for God is 'Elohim'. The root of Elohim is 'Eloha'. Allah. Eloha. Also: if Jesus spoke Aramaic, then the name he used for God is 'Alaha'. Christian Arabs also say 'Allah'.


Allah means God why do some Muslims deny this?

Some Muslims may deny that Allah means God because they may believe that Allah is a specific and unique name for God in Islam, distinguishing Him from other concepts or understandings of God. They may view any other translation of Allah as a dilution of the specific understanding of God in Islam. It is important to note that the Arabic term Allah is widely recognized and used by Muslims and non-Muslims alike to refer to God in the Arabic language.


Is the God in the Bible Torah Psalm and the Koran the same God?

Judaism accepts that Islam worships HaShem (The Creator). Some Jews from Arab countries use the name Allah when talking about HaShem.


Why do Muslims call their god Allah?

Allah is just the Arabic word for God. AnswerWe Muslims prefer the Arabic and pure name Allah to God because we believe in the Oneness of god and He has no partners or helpers. Allah is a unique name and its form cannot be changed with grammar or language, unlike the word 'god'. For example, by adding 's' to god, it becomes its plural "Gods", whereas there is no such thing like Allah's.. Similarly by joining 'ess' god becomes feminine that is, "Goddess". But there is nothing like a male Allah or a female Allah..... There are many more such examples . So this is the prime reason why we Muslims do not prefer to use the word "God" and instead use the word 'Allah' since it is the true name of our Lord as mentioned in the Quran.AnswerYes Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is not the same God as revealed in the Old Testament. Christians usually don't acknowledge that Allah is the same as God because when God revealed Himself to Abraham, He referred to Himself as Yahweh, not Allah. There is, no matter what you are told, a difference.PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DEBATING ON THIS PAGE. THAT IS WHAT THE DISCUSSION PAGES ARE FOR................................................AnswerAllahu ta'âlâ's Names are tawqîfî; that is, it is permissible to use His Names shown by Islam and not permissible to use other names. For instance, Allahu ta'âlâ may be called "Âlim" (the Omniscient), but it is not permissible to use "faqîh" which also means "Âlim," for Islam does not use "faqîh" for Allahu ta'âlâ. There is no religious obstacle to using the word "god" in the meaning of "ilâh." For example, it is permissible to say, "Ox is the god of Hindus" or "Allah is one; there is no god but He" or "Our god is Allah." But it is not permissible to say, "Our Allah is God." You should understand this fine point well.(Ilâh: God. God means ma'bûd [that which, or who, is, or is to be worshiped]. Anything which is worshiped is called a god. The Name of Allahu ta'âlâ is Allah, not God. There is no ilâh [god] besides Allah.)Allahu ta'âlâ'a Names are infinite. It is well-known that He has one thousand and one Names; that is, He revealed one thousand and one of His Names to human beings. In Islam, ninety-nine of them, called Asmâ-ul Husnâ, were revealed.It is not permissible to say "God" instead of the Name "Allah" or "Allah" instead of the name "God," because god means ilâh, idol. As Assyrians accustomed the Turks to worshiping the sun and stars, they would worship the sun when it dawned. For this reason, the sun's name became tanyeri and finally tanrı (god).The word Allah is a proper name. There is no equivalent for it in any languages. This word does not have masculine or feminine form. However, the word "god" has equivalents in every language and also masculine and feminine forms in some of them, e.g., ma'bud and ma'buda (in Arabic), tanrı and tanrıça (in Turkish), God and Goddess (in English), Dieu and Deesse (in French), and Gott and Göttin (in German). None of these words can be used instead of the name Allah. It is necessary to use only the word Allah when you refer to Allah, because Allahu ta'âlâ declares, "My name is Allah. Worship Me by saying Allah." We must use the word He has commanded us to use. When the word ilâh is meant, all nations can use its equivalents in their own languages, but the word Allah is the same in all languages. (Endless Bliss)It is purported in the Qur'ân al-karîm:(Allah is only one god.) [Sûrat-ul-Nisâ', 171](I am Allah. There is no god but I.) [Sûrat-u Tâhâ, 14](Your Mawlâ is Allah.) [Sûrat-u Âl-i 'Imrân, 150]


What is the Islamic word for GOD?

Arabic name of god is "ilah" As Muslims are strict monotheists,they don't use word "god" or "Ilah". At the time of Muhammad, there were many gods/idols etc...So, Muslims rejected those idols and believed in ONE GOD of MOSES,ABRAHAM etc.Muslims use word "Allah" which means "THE GOD". PS: Arabic is hella complex language.Different dialects will have different words for same thing.
