    I do read my own post.

    But didn't you use the 2nd type argument in your previous post "Allah is one"?
    So I just replied your post but seems you don't comprehend anything. No wonder when people debate you, they say that you just debate with yourself.

    Is it hard to understand Qur'an was sent down in Arabic so the word Allah is used. If Qur'an was sent down in Portuguese, the word Deus would be used and it would be "Deus is One, Deus neither begets nor is begotten".
    Quran just tells the true monotheistic concept, not a Supernatural Being named Allah.

    Salam

    Why this name calling, ad hominem etc?

    Suddenly you feel threatened because you thread is about sectarianism, are you a sectarian? hates? racism? laugh

    If you want to talk about a sectarian issue or your hates against Arabs, or Arabic language, or any races..

    Sorry.. I'm not interested in this bigotry issue.

    It is not even an issue according to the Qur'an.

    Sectarianism is
    bigotry
    discrimination
    or hatred

    arising from
    attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group <- Quranist group?
    such as between different denominations of
    a religion
    class
    regional
    or factions of a political movement

    AND.. what's wrong with "Allah is One"?

    What's wrong with "nothing is equivalent to Allah"?

    This issue is not about languages.

    and... what's wrong with Allah sent down the revelations to the Arabs, and in Arabic language?

    an Arabic Qur'an <- Translation is a Qur'an?
    without any deviance If not, why it is becoming an issue to you or anyone?
    that they might become righteous Did Allah ask you to have faith in translation, as equal to the Qur'an?
    (3928) If not, why it is becoming an issue to you or anyone?

    You don't agree with Allah decisions?

    You are smarter than Allah and have better solutions? hmm

    Peace.

      Seriously you really have a serious comprehensive problem. I never say I hate Arabic or Arabs or being bigoted against Arabs. I myself use Arabic name custom in my local documents. I am not a Westerner.

      I never say the phrase "Allah is One'' is wrong but I was just telling that YOU used the argument "Allah is one" to prove that Allah is not God.

      Is it hard to understand
      Arabs have been using Allah when speaking Arabic no matter what their faiths are for more millennia, even before Qur'an was sent down.
      The word Allah is used in the Qur'an because Qur'an was sent down in Arabic.
      The Qur'an simply tells and explains the true monotheistic concept of God.
      If Qur'an was sent down in Portuguese, the word Deus would be used instead of Allah.

      Where are bigotry and racism here? As far as I know SOME of the Malaysian "Muslims" are the ones who are bigoted for saying "Non-Muslims cannot use Allah".

      Can you also prove me that the previous Messengers also use Allah with exact pronunciation?

        You need to ask the Submitters to review using their Code 19, and delete or change the following verses... There is no other sect can amend the Qur'an.

        Original

        And if you asked them
        "Who created the heavens and the earth?"
        they would surely say, " Allah ."
        (3642)

        Proposal for amendment

        And if you asked them
        "Who created the heavens and the earth?"
        they would surely say, " God ."

        Asked them again, which God? <- proposal for addition of new verses ;D
        Be specific, there are many Gods!
        They would surely say, ummmmmm......
        But God, what is your name?
        Say, I am God. brickwall

        (3642 - Amended)

          I never say the phrase "Allah is One'' is wrong but I was just telling that YOU used the argument "Allah is one" to prove that Allah is not God.

          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 God

          Salam

          If Allah is God, and every religion is using capital "G" for their gods, would it then be inconsistent with the following ayat?

          Nor is there to Him any equivalent" (1124) <- including God or god (refer here)

          ?Nothing in existence within the micro or the macro planes is equivalent to HU!? (4211)

          (refer definition clause in the Qur'an, interpretation of La Illah Ila Allah and interpretation of Surah Ikhlas)

            Can the following verse

            Indeed, those who have said "Our Lord is Allah"
            (4613)

            be translated as follows?

            Indeed, those who have said "Our Lord is God"
            (4613)

            or

            Indeed, those who have said "Our God is God" brickwall
            (4613)

            Another conspiracy theories for referring all gods to the Tetragrammaton?

            As religiously observant Jews are forbidden to say or write the Tetragrammaton in full, when reading the Torah they use the word Adonai. And although most Christians have no prohibition on vocalizing the Tetragrammaton, in most Christian translations of the Bible, "LORD" is used in place of the Tetragrammaton, after the Hebrew Adonai, and is often written with small capitals (or in all caps) to distinguish it from other words translated as "Lord". The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be, to exist".

              Then why the **** do Christian Arabs use Allah too huh?

              I am not discussing the nature of Allah in the Qur'an. This thread is aimed to talk about the origin and uses of the word Allah by various faiths especially those who speak Arabic.

              There are also many illahs. Allah is the contraction of al-ilah. Why is it so hard to understand?

              Qur'an was sent down in Arabic so the word Allah (contraction of al-ilah is used).

              The verse " Allah is one" is because Qur'an was sent down in Arabic and the word Allah is used because Allah is in Arabic. The suchlike verses are to tell the Quranic concept of The Supreme Being.
              = Lord
              = god
              , contraction of and = God

                How are we going to find a conclusion if you are ignoring every question, facts and verses from the Qur'an? hmm

                And in anything over which you disagree
                its ruling is to Allah . ,

                  Rabb / Lord means a master who has authority over others.
                  Who is our master? Ayatollah of Iran? King of Saud? A human-master who enslaves us? No! Our Lord is God / al-ilah.

                  I am not ignoring verses. I read every little thing you wrote but you never comprehend what people who use God says.
                  Do you think the previous prophets used Allah too despite different languages they used?

                    Btw the word Allah and l-ilah is still different words, because merging Al and ilah into "Allah" has no rule in Arabic.

                    FIRST ISSUE - IGNORED

                    Why the issue of translation is relevant to the Qur'an?

                    It is not even an issue according to the Qur'an.

                    it doesn't matter if people want to call Allah as god, or God, tuhan, Tuhan, al Ilah, Alla, Dios, Deus, Dieu, Gud, Gott or whatever beautiful names they wish to call Allah. It makes no difference, and it is not even an issue. Understanding is a process and believe whatever they want to believe, as long it is in the Qur'an, justly balanced and make sense. Simple!

                    what's wrong with Allah sent down the revelations to the Arabs, and in Arabic language?

                    an Arabic Qur'an <- Translation is a Qur'an?

                    (3928) If not, why it is becoming an issue to you or anyone?

                    Does the following is an evidence for the "deviation" of the word "Allah"? (not critical)

                    SECOND ISSUE - IGNORED

                    Original

                    its ruling is to Allah . ,

                    (4210)

                    FIFTH ISSUE - IGNORED

                    If Allah is God, and every religion is using capital "G" for their gods, would it then be inconsistent with the following ayat?

                    Nor is there to Him any equivalent" (1124) <- including God or god (refer here)

                    ?Nothing in existence within the micro or the macro planes is equivalent to HU!? (4211)

                    http//c00022506.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/5_73.png

                    They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (573)

                    LAST ISSUE

                    Why Allah using the word "God" in so many places in the Qur'an, when "Allah" itself means "God"?

                      I read everything you wrote sir.

                      Just because I didn't 'answer' doesn't mean I ignore.

                      It is wasting time to talk a bullet-headed person like you.

                      Ever heard the title Lord?

                      The people who call Jesus Lord do so because they consider Jesus as Divine.
                      I am not discussing the nature of Allah in the Quran but the word Allah that is being monopolized by fanatical Quran literalists.

                      Arabs have been using the word Allah for millennia, even before Qur'an was sent down. They included the Arabs who considered Jesus as son of Allah etc.

                      I don't understand why you quoted Earthdom's old post. Earthdom later changed his mind again.

                        Salam

                        Why are you still ignoring and not answering the issue?

                        Is this how you prove your truth?

                        Everyone can do like what you did, even those who are uneducated.

                        I'm out... wasting my time if you are not serious for discussion and keep ignoring every issue, and then relying on sources other than the Qur'an for the determination truth. laugh

                        Your god is only Allah
                        (2098)

                        Your god is only God <- Imagine this is an oral communication...
                        (2098) How should people respond to this kind of statement? confused

                        Freemind

                        Surely your god is God <- if oral? Say again? ;D
                        If he is a Hindu, he might think that you are referring to Lord Krishna etc
                        "Sure, my god is God! Let's go to the Temple!" laugh
                        Muhammad? "Please Gabriel, is it wih capital "G"? "Wait, I need to ask god, oppsss God"

                        Peace.

                          I don't understand why you quoted Earthdom's old post. Earthdom later changed his mind again.

                          Yes Yuliana is true, I already change my mind.

                          Your god is only God <- Imagine this is an oral communication...
                          (209 How should people respond to this kind of statement? confused

                          May in our place this is look strange but for english speaking people it is not.

                          Peace

                            Salaam,

                            The language in Qur'an is Arabic so of course the examples are written in Arabic too. If I was asked the same question it would likely not be in Arabic and I would answer Gud or God. Talk about sterile logic.

                            God bless you

                              Peace Family,

                              This thread has become a bit of a comedy, it's like debating which is correct

                              Michael or Miguel

                              Anna or Hannah

                              John or Juan

                              God bless

                              peace

                                This is funny, a translation issue.

                                It must be crazy to pronounce "God" and "god" and sounds differently. laugh

                                Surely your god is God

                                Facts during the revelation..

                                Gabriel, you say god to Muhammad
                                Go tell him again, it is God, not god!
                                But God I...
                                Gabriel! call me God, not god!

                                Sounds like the trinity issue.. is it one or three gods?

                                an Arabic Qur'an <- Translation is a Qur'an?

                                    But I recommend you read this sites http//simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/god
                                    http//simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/God

                                    http//s24.postimg.org/ugrbsrvol/god.jpg?w=300

                                    Can you explain the above link relating to "God"?

                                    (red arrow below)

                                    It says -> "An artist's idea of the God in Christianity, Judaism and Islam."

                                    Salam

                                    I don't know if there is any real difference between "God" and "god", so as the link you have given above (your dictionary, that is your God? and you wish I to accept your definition?).... and you seriously need to re-read again my above statement, so that it doesn't sound like a duck. ;D

                                    Translation is a Qur'an?
                                    If not, why it is becoming an issue to you or anyone?

                                    Did Allah ask you to have faith in translation, as equal to the Qur'an?
                                    If not, why it is becoming an issue to you or anyone?

                                    and..

                                    it doesn't matter if people want to call Allah as god, or God, tuhan, Tuhan, al Ilah, Alla, Dios, Deus, Dieu, Gud, Gott or whatever beautiful names they wish to call Allah. It makes no difference, and it is not even an issue.

                                    It is not even an issue according to the Qur'an.

                                    Peace

                                          Peace, reminds me of old Albanian sayings

                                          "burri ne shtepi, eshte si dreqi ne Xhami" -- man at home like devil in mosque.

                                          "zoti i sht?pis?" -- lord/master of the house (zoti means god in Albanian)

                                          http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlgzTzwHies

                                          Therefore, it makes no sense in any language to translate using a name e.g.

                                          Adam/Mike of the house

                                          Likewise incorrect and senseless to translate as Allah (i.e. personal name).

                                          63 and he the god (zoti) in the heavens and in the earth...
