    Allah is not from a nonexistent root called Alif-Lam-Heh. That root does not exist. Eleh is no more than AL prefix on a third person singular pronoun suffix. Simple grammar. It means "the he/she/it". Allah is a slightly more evolved form, meaning "the like he/she/it". Basically it refers to someone's status as a being.
    Be well
    Qarael Amenuel

    Being? Like some sort energy?

      A word is what anybody's understanding can make of it. You cannot teach nor change nor do anything to instil any meaning of any word into a person without that person having experienced the necessary at whatever level to realise the meaning you want to transmit. That is, whatever you want to transmit will adjust to what the person is capable of perceiving and therefore receiving.

      Allah, God, Dios, whatever is what the receiver can make of it. By itself is nothing. Allah, God, Dios, whatever, has been transmited as the vehicle for a concept of spiritual knowledge which is very, very, very wide, from the most base and elementary understanding of origin of being to the most developped and visionary and experienced knowledge of divine inspiration and vision.

      Torturing a word will not make it speak louder nor clearer. It has nothing to confess, but the hearts of the people are the ones that know its meaningin whatever measure.

      Salaam

        It seems some topics here are repeating the "torture" again and again,with no gain whatsoever to anyone.

        And sometimes we think we can make words speak louder and clearer by using a bigger font size? or highlight the colour? where in fact it is just "double torture"!!!!

        Our words run out quite quickly and we keep repeating the same old boring stuff.

        The word "Allah" has been discussed to death,until it became" There is no god"!!!!!

        Anyway ,a word of warning,if the meaning of the word "Allah"carries on being discussed ,it might disappear altogether ,then there will be no god?
        Do you think the forum will still function? Silly I know,like wanting to know what "Allah" means?
        GOD bless.
        Peace.

          Sounds like atheistic influence being infecting the minds. No offense to atheists by the way.

            If it follows the patterns of human behaviour what will happen is that a new word will be introduced or invented to take the place of the word "God", we know what happens with euphemisms and today particularly. starting witht he acronymsand follwwing with the "promotion" of everything without thanging anything, we will find some "Existence Coordinator" "Executif Chief of Universal Being", or whatever. ?Real, real fun!

              Yes indeed huruf, call "him..." Allah,Al-Rahman,GOD, The Principal Co-ordinator...You will never run out of names. Does it really matter?

              Perhaps "Allah" is worth more credits than the other names?I have known this to be said and other daft irrelevant nonsense!!!

              GOD bless you.
              Peace.

                  I noticed in some verses in the Quran the word Allah is missing it's alif for example this verse

                  2165

                  The ones with alif is the one marked brown & those without the alif is marked green.

                    The green are possessive construction.

                        The words in red are "lillahi" where "li" is harf e jar meaning "for". It is a "jaar majroor" construction. A possessive construction is like "kitab ullahi".

                        @Sardar

                        The attachment of "li" with the word Allah removes the letter alif and make it "Lillahi" which means "for Allah".

                          I noticed i found this from this post about Allah being a common noun https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=16710.0

                          By the way what do you think about the article in the first page about the term Allah? Here is the link from the first page http//ahleaqal.blogspot.se/2017/05/the-linguistic-analysis-of-term-allah.html

                            323 ...... .......

                            So which translation of this verse make sense

                            They are called to book of Allah
                            or

                                      You did not accept the conclusion that Allah means "THERE IS NOTHING FOR HIM" so what value you assign to the article brother.

                                        Sorry if my answer seems bit dull but the meaning "THERE IS NOTHING FOR HIM" is off as you showed in this quote

                                        323 ...... .......

                                        So which translation of this verse make sense

                                        They are called to book of THERE IS NOTHING FOR HIM
                                        So the word would mean well...The God. Is this answer good? -\

                                          I read "Allah" without translating it. I could not find any satisfactory explanation for this word. Corpus says it is a nominative proper noun. http//corpus.quran.com/wordmorphology.jsp?location=(22551)
