Allah is God ?
-
Salaam,
There is no dogma since I am not trying to force anyone into accepting it is truth. I was saying that I made a clear elaboration through grammar and it was a logical argument too since I went through the grammar several times to clarify my point. So do not come here and say I have no basis or methodology as I was structure by structure going through why the word God is equal to the usage of Allah. Grammar use does explain why it would be God instead of Allah if the book was written in English by God Himself.
I refuted your claim, but you still come with empty arguments that circumvent my point. And also blamed me for not discussing the topic of this thread.
God bless you
Salaam,
Read carefully and understand the issue of this thread before presenting an argument, and a dogma is not about forcing others, it is about supporting your belief with valid logical reasoning. Further, there is a difference between "Allah is God" and "God is Allah", and you are not saying "Allah is God", but in actuality, you are saying "God is Allah" because you denies all references to "God" in other religions. You are claiming absolute truth for the usage of the English word "God" (refer here). Therefore your argument also means that God comes first and bigger concept than Allah. The "G".
God bless you

Is it true that Allah is God ?
Facts
La Illah Ila Allah
There is no god but AllahSura 112 The "definition provision for Allah" in the Qur'an
Say, "He is Allah, One
Allah, the Eternal Refuge
He neither begets nor is born
Nor is there to Him any equivalent"
(112)Logical Argument
Premise 1 There are many (equivalent concept of) gods worshiped by human beings.
Premise 2 Sura 112 said Allah is One and not equivalent to god(s).Argument Therefore, Allah is . . . ?
(a) God; or
(b) not GodThe predicate of "La" is elided. Determine/estimate what could be the elided predicate; the meanings and perception of the sentence will become explicitly evident matching ground realities.

Peace muslim
Now I understand the way you create this thread.You didn't talk about grammar, but you differ Allah's Islam from another gods/God especially Christian and Judaism's Allah.
And you reference based on laa ila ha ilallah.Yes I agree with you.Months ago I watch an Islam-Christian debate video on youtube
http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoJ_7yWLF6U (because you understand Indonesian I provide this to you)
The topic in that video is "Samakah Tuhan Islam dan Kristen"
On that video Rev. Gershom Ben Morshe (former muslim) give some simple explanation about that (minute 02554-039-36)Peace

It is true. This thread is not about grammar, languages and spellings, but the issue is related to the "equivalent concept of gods worshipped by human beings." Sura 112 said Allah is One and not equivalent to God(s). Further, the highest form of God is "Self". The "Self" is giving birth and establishing hundreds and thousands of religions. It is the main God for all God(s).

Polytheists do not equate Allah the Exalted with other gods. Their ultimate argument for justifying thier gods is this
"We do not worship them except for the purpose that they might cause us to be nearer in access to Allah the Exalted".

Religious people (the polytheists, sectarianism, bigot) equate and compare one god to the other and chose their one true God among other God(s). They equate the concept Godhood; and this leads to duality. Sura 112 declares Allah is One (that cannot be broken down into parts or fragments, non-centricity and no boundary, there is nothing in existence other than Him and nothing is within the micro or macro realms of existence) and "Nor is there to Him any equivalent". Sura 112 declares Allah is not equivalent to God. This primary message negated and nullified the concept of Godhood altogether; There is no God but Allah ... ?There is no God, there is only Allah" and there is a System (Deen) present within life, by which those who fail to comply, are led to suffer the consequences of their own actions.
?Nothing in existence within the micro or the macro planes is equivalent to HU!? (4211)

Exception "Illa" relates back to Ielah. Allah the Exalted has not negated the relaity of He being the Ielah-the God in English-the Supernatural-Non-Matter Personality. All other ielah-gods are but matter or from matter or abstract thought.

Salam
I'm referring to some comments on the "La" and "illa".
First
Btw the word Allah and l-ilah is still different words, because merging Al and ilah into "Allah" has no rule in Arabic.
Second
The Arabic statement
La rajulun illa Ali can be translated literally as
?There is no real man except/but Ali?
or ?There is no man like Ali?
or ?Among the men none are Ali?s alike?- note that all of these statements denote there are in fact other men (duality, Ali and other men), but they are not like Ali (who is also a man and can be compared or made equivalent to other men).
However, when the word illa is used in conjunction with the word ALLAH
it does not mean ?a god like Allah?
that is, it should not be understood as
?there other gods, but none are like Allah? (duality, Allah and other God(s))
as the very meaning denoted by the word ALLAH
invalidates this supposition from the onsetJust as the auxiliary verb was (khaane)
when used in conjunction with Allah
loses its general meaning and is taken as the present simple tense
when the word except (illa) appears next to the word Allah
it also loses its general connotation and is taken to mean only.Here is an example
KhaanALLAhu gafurur rahiyma
cannot be translated as ?Allah was Ghafur and Rahim?
as the qualities denoted by the Names of Allah cannot be subject to time
they are ever present and ever effectiveSimilarly, illa Allah cannot mean except (duality) Allah
which denotes the existence of others (duality)
but must be understood as only Allah!
The qualities of the One to which the word Allah refers
does not accept the existence of another
especially that beside itselfHence, khaane, illa and all other expressions that denote time and (other) existence
must be construed appropriate to the meaning of Allah
when used in conjunction with it
Otherwise, it will inevitably result in the conception of a god beyond!Now examining the Word of Unity
There is no God, there is only Allah in light of this consideration
the first message that we are given is There is no god
Only after this definite denunciation we are told ILLA ALLAHAs explained above
because the word illa is used besides the word Allah
(usage of "La" and usage of "illa" is not on men or objects)
the only correct construal of this statement can be ONLY ALLAH
as opposed to
except Allah
or
but Allah
for there is no other being in existence
to which Allah can be compared to
or excluded from!Therefore, the correct translation is
?There is no God, there is only Allah"
or
?There is no God, only Allah" (One! that cannot be broken down into parts or fragments)

La rajulun illa Ali
This sentence has no relevance to the sentence La Illah Ila Allah
Rajulun is the subject of the nominal sentence and being indefinite in nominative case and absolute state its specification is necessary and needs to be estimated as elision. He and Ali both remain as Man and negation for that indefinite man is in relation to some attribute of Ali.
In the sentence La Illah Ila Allah; La is not simple negation but negation of genus since the subject noun is in accusative. Here Illah denotes a group-a family of deities who are treated as gods.

Allah the Exalted confirms that people have adopted miscellaneous gods. So they are a ground reality. The Predicate of La is elided. And that Predicate can be estimated any fact about Allah the Exalted which is not the trait of all others whom people call or consider as miscellaneous iela'aha. The foremost trait of Allah is "the Living". All others whom people call god including Easa alahissalam are non-living; the dead and matter.

Salam,
Your interpretation "excluding" Allah from other gods and for that reason, there is a "Concept of Godhood and Duality" in your belief system, whereas ....
all of these statements denote there are in fact other men (duality, Ali and other men), but they are not like Ali (who is also a man and can be compared or made equivalent to other men).
Do you acknowledge there are in fact other God(s) that can be compared or made equivalent to Allah? (Godhood)
that is, it should not be understood as
?there other gods, but none are like Allah? (duality, Allah and other God(s))
as the very meaning denoted by the word ALLAH
invalidates this supposition from the onsetSura 112 declares Allah is One and not equivalent to God, and the usage of "God" is subjected to the interpretation provision in the Qur'an; ie. Sura 112 (REFER HERE).
for there is no other being in existence
to which Allah can be compared to
or excluded from!Peace.

Your interpretation "excluding" Allah from other gods and for that reason, there is a "Concept of Godhood and Duality" in your belief system, whereas ....
The concept of multiple gods, duality, and trinity is the fact on ground since many people the world over have these beliefs.
Their belief is declared erroneous and this is emphasised time and again throughout the Qur'aan by referring to various aspects and qualitative features of "the God"; and its synopsis is succintly but exhaustively given in Srat 112.
You the Messenger tell the people "The absolute fact is that Allah is the Only and Alone; the Unique; the Solitary; the Absolute; the Perfect, the Exclusive.
Allah the Exalted is the Only Self Reliant; Transcendent, Absolutely Independent; One upon Whom all without exception are dependant;
He in Person never became the cause, and nor was He the effect.
And for Him there is always none ever to compare-exemplify; He is Unique-The Absolute". -

god noun
- supernatural being one of a group of supernatural male beings in some religions, each of which is worshiped as the personification or controller of some aspect of the universe
Everything that exists in physical realm is matter; life in physical realm is also from matter. Allah the Exalted is the Person Who is outside the physical realm-His creation.
In Physical Realm everything is mirrored. It has imagery. Allah the Exalted is mirrorless. His powers and adjectival traits are mirrored in His Creation and these existentials are called His Sign-Reflectors-Evidence of His Omnipresence.

Allah is One according to Quran as it was written in Arabic. If it was written in, for example, English, it would be written God is One.
God = God's name in English
Allah = God's name in ArabicAllah is not God's ultimate name. Allah is just composed of the Arabic definite article with the word for god making it into the English God.
Why would God choose a name that is literally "the god" in English for and not a random name, for example Toyota? "There is no god but Toyota". But God used the (literally) plain "the god". Why? Because it is not more complicated than to explain it as if it was an accurately compiled English book of God it would be "God", ie "there is no other god than God".
Allah is a very telling and simple word that anyone would understand, hence why God chose it. If he one the other hand compiled an English holy book it would be "God" because it is as simple definition for His being.
Like I said before; God has no name but to refer to Himself by something so that we weaklings can have some reference point.
I repeat myself several times but "In English one capitalizes letters to make words emphasized while in Arabic it is not possible that why but there is the 'al' definite article. 'G' in God substitutes the 'al' and in English one does not normally use 'the' to refer to a name of someone although it is having it first letter capitalized."
Allah is a very simply composed word which can easily compare to God in terms of simplicity. Allah is just the word for god in Arabic with a definite article on. In English it is just the word for god with a capital letter on it. Still cannot agree with this reasoning?
God bless you
