Allah
(Arabic:
الله,
Allāh) is the standard
Arabic word for "God".
Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic
reliances, including Christians and
Jews, use the word
"Allah" to mean "God". In
pre-Islamic Arabia,
pagan
Meccans called creator-god, possibly the supreme deity as Allah.
Some Moslem scholars feel that
"Allāh" should not be translated, because they perceive the Arabic word to
convey the uniqueness of "Allāh" more accurately than the word "god" for
two reasons:
The word "god" can take a
plural form "gods", whereas the word "Allāh" has no individual plural form
(it requires grammatical inflection
to imply plurality).
The word "god" can have
gender as male god or female god (goddess) whereas the word "Allāh"
does not have a gender since it cannot be
declined to mark
grammatical gender
and thus normative gender.
There is a deep longing for purity in
Islam. Everyone must be clean before entering Allah's presence to pray.
Without a doubt, every true Muslim desires to serve God with all his
heart.
Allah is the one who created everything
out of nothing by the strength of his word. Allah cannot be proved, be
comprehended or
described. It does not mean, as it is sometimes translated, "Allah is great"
or "Allah is the greatest." Its literal meaning is "Allah is greater!"
Allah is the unique, unexplorable and inexplicable one - the remote, vast
and unknown God.
Allah is the only
deity, transcendent creator of
the universe, and the judge of humankind. The Quran's Allah is the same
Creator God who covenanted with Abraham.
According to the tradition of Islam there are
99 Names of Allah (al-asma
al-husna lit. meaning: "The best names"). All Arabic adjectives can be understood
as nouns, so that in the Qur'an every attribute of Allah simultaneously
conveys one of his names.
Forms of educational instruction and
thought patterns in the world of Islam are based upon the picture of Allah
given by Muhammad: Allah is The One. The spirit of Islam cannot tolerate other gods beside
Allah. The Qur'an commands all followers of Allah to fight for victory in
their religion.
