    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

    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)

    Peace

      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)

      Peace

        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 . ,
            "That is Allah , my Lord <- another example, should it mean "That is God, my God" confused
            upon Him I have relied
            and to Him I turn back."

              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?

                Quran just tells the true monotheistic concept, not a Supernatural Being named Allah.

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

                Salam

                Please answer and translate the words so that the word Allah makes sense to anyone.

                Lord may also means God

                Definition of LORD
                capitalized
                a god 1

                b. Christianity Jesus.

                Oxford Dictionaries
                (Lord) a name for God or Christ
                give thanks to the Lord

                Collins
                a title given to God or Jesus Christ

                Macmillan Dictionary
                the Lord a name that Christians use for talking about God or Jesus Christ
                Praise the Lord!

                Webster's New World College Dictionary
                Lord is a reference to God or Jesus.n

                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?
                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?

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

                SECOND ISSUE - IGNORED

                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)

                THIRD ISSUE - IGNORED

                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)

                FOURTH ISSUE - IGNORE?

                And in anything over which you disagree
                its ruling is to Allah . ,
                "That is Allah , my Lord <- another example, should it mean "That is God, my God" confused
                upon Him I have relied
                and to Him I turn back."
                (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)

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

                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)

                http//c00022506.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/20_98.png
                Your god is only Allah , except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." (2098)

                LAST ISSUE

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

                Peace

                  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.

                    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

                    If he is a Hindu, he might think that you are referring to Lord Krishna etc

                        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

                          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

                            This is funny, a translation issue.

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

                              This is funny, a translation issue.

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

                              Salam

                              But this is more funny to see you who still highly influenced by the local language ;D.

                                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...

                                        This thread has become a bit of a comedy,

                                        LOL I concur...
                                        More fundamentally, debating on "the name" thus the conception of "personal name" itself is a comedy..
                                        It's as similar as thou must not translate Jamal to Camel or Moshe to Musa or Moses.

                                        Need to trace back on WHY the "big standing primate" invented "name" for things.
                                        It started when the primate developed the ability to "talk".
                                        Where, talk is communicating thoughts to other big standing primate through AUDIO SIGNAL.

                                        Thus risen the need for an 'agreement' of how "sounds" correlate to thought thus its meanings.
                                        As the big primate spread as group all over the earth, the 'agreement' varies among group, thus the difference of 'language' or 'the guide on how the AUDIO SIGNAL correlate to meanings'.

                                        IF the big primate is able to communicate through 'mind transfer' (a.k.a telepathy) there will be no need of 'name' because the 'thoughts' are being 'transferred' directly without the conveyance of AUDIO signal.

                                        As the big primate society developed, some of them feel that some 'audio signal' and "symbolic icon to audio signal' (name in written form) as their 'property'.
                                        They invented things such as "Trademark" to forbid usage by other group of primate.

                                        So back to the "Malaysia case", they should register "ALLAH" as their their 'international trademark' thus their 'property', only then they have the legality of controlling on who have the rights to use "ALLAH".

                                        While on this forum the 'debate' is whether "ALLAH" can be translated or not to other AUDIO signal (thus to other symbolic icon)
                                        The answer is of course it CAN!
                                        As the sole objective of communication is actually "thought transfer".

                                        Salam / Peace

                                          Greetings and Peace, all group

                                          7180 And to GOD belong the most beautiful names, so call Him by them; and leave alone those who deviate His names. They will be punished for what they used to do.

                                          208 GOD, there is no god except He, to Him are the beautiful names.

                                          5924 He is GOD; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Noble, the Wise.

                                          It is not like there is one god for one faith and another god for another faith. There is only one GOD. What religion did Abraham (Peace upon all Prophets) practice? hmm

                                          Did all Prophets speak the same language? !

                                          144 And We have not sent any messenger except in the language of his people, so he may clarify for them. But GOD misguides whom He wills, and He guides whom He wills. And He is the Noble, the Wise.

                                          ALLAH knows best.

                                          peace

                                          ~Abdul-Hadi
