An article about Allah.
-
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)
Some say it's a proper, some it's a common noun and some say it's a special term like Man of Faith and the person in this article.
There is even verses that says Allah being The One God.
Wahuwa allathee fee alssama-iilahun wafee al-ardi ilahun wahuwa alhakeemualAAaleemu
4384 And He is the One who is a god in the heaven and a god on the earth. And He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable.Innama ilahukumu Allahuallathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAakulla shay-in AAilman
2098 Your god is God; whom there is no god but He. His knowledge encompasses all things.Waqala Allahu latattakhithoo ilahayni ithnayni innama huwailahun wahidun fa-iyyaya fairhabooni
1651 And God said "Do not take two gods, there is only One god, so it is Me that you shall reverence."Qul ayyu shay-in akbaru shahadatanquli Allahu shaheedun baynee wabaynakum waoohiyailayya hatha alqur-anu li-onthirakum bihiwaman balagha a-innakum latashhadoona anna maAAa Allahi alihatanokhra qul la ashhadu qul innama huwa ilahunwahidun wa-innanee baree-on mimma tushrikoona
619 Say "Which is the greatest testimony?" Say "God is witness between me and you, and He has inspired to me this Qur'an that I may warn you with it and whoever it reaches, that you are bearing witness that with God are other gods!" Say "I do not bear witness!" Say "He is only One god, and I am innocent of what you have set up!" -

Uh Huruf im waiting for answer about the possessive construction

Sorry, I have to say I don't knw what was in my mind when I wrote that, because seeing it now it is wrong. In fact it is exactly as Novice said inhis or her post Tehre is Allah and there is l-illah, with the preoposition li.
Excuse me if I led you to spend too much time trying to figure the thing out. I must have ben thinking of something else and been not very attentive.

Our missed friend Pazuzu wrote something about that. Here is the thread
https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605163.msg323451#msg323451
I think Pazuzu explanation which amounts to what Kashif says, is much shorter, much clearer, and quite efficient and gives more intresting data. It is not something new either. It is rather a common understanding, although it coexists with the "The God" conception.
Proably it does not change that much, because at any rate the idea of God in each person is what it is no matter what the etimological factors may be.

I noticed you guys miss this Pazuzu, what is it that you guys respect him so much?

Look for his posts.
He dis a great job in bringing to the fore questions like some Qur'an identities, like pharao or locations. He wrote several books for free with thorough studies on Sulayman and the Queen of Saba, Yusuf and Musa an the country they lived in.
Unfortunately when the flat earth and he met, he defended flat earth and I am afraid, by doing that he felt he lost the respect he had won with other very important questions and excelent work.
Of course, as it is abundantly clear from the way we miss him and. He did not loose any respect at all. We all are likely to make blunders, and nobody is obliged to be right in absolutely everything, neither him nor anybody else. I do hope he is on something else important withthis unique knowledge and talent.

Problem is, Alif-Lam-Heh is not a root. The word is a combination of AL + Heh and the famous article AL is from a root called Alif-Lam-Lam which is also used to construct which is the full root of AL plus the Heh letter. It has a double functionality like saying "the (of) the who/he/she", speaking of one's "Being". Sadly the word has entered the realm of a fabricated religion unfortunately and become the part of such doctrine.

Being? Like some sort energy?
Perhaps the integrity of a being could be referred to as energy, but it is more like a phenomenon to us since energy is usually measurable in some way. But the best way of measuring one's being is to observe a person's doings. The topic can be relatively complex to discuss. The easiest way of describing it is talking about the mental awareness/consciousness of a person, the independently strong mind. My concept of this involves that man has two main components of themselves, the mind and the body, and the body is something distinct from the mind, but attached like a parasite to the mind for as long as we are alive on this Earth. Our mind is not equal to the body and your mind is the real you, but the body is like an animal being attached to your mind, which gives you influenced/biased thoughts and this is the phenomenon often called Satan in religion. Satan = what makes us animals, Satan is of the bodily. Your very body is Satan, you could say, but you should not treat it any different from an animal, just be its master. Either Satan rules over you or you rule over Satan/the body.

Briefly yes, but it is nothing which I agree with.

Our missed friend Pazuzu wrote something about that. Here is the thread
https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605163.msg323451#msg323451
It doesn't sound like he is agreeing with it. He says that God is dog backwards. and i checked the root word of dog and it said this
Old English docga, a late, rare word used of a powerful breed of canine. It forced out Old English hund (the general Germanic and Indo-European word; see canine ) by 16c. and subsequently was picked up in many continental languages (e.g. French dogue (16c.), Danish dogge), but the origin remains one of the great mysteries of English etymology.
He also says that it is a mockery of The Quran translating Allah to the english word God which i don't know if he is right or wrong. I found a quote from a brother named Nadeem
Peace Jankren,
My knowledge of arabic is poor, so I'm probably not the guy you're looking for, but still even with a little knowledge I think that this question can be answered. I think the answer lies in the preposition li-, which means to or for. In "Koranic and Classical Arabic" by Wheeler Thackston, pg. 11-12, the grammatical rules of li- are detailed. They say that when a word begins with Alif, the alif is retained orthographically but not pronounced. Thus, Imrat, which means women and is written like
Becomes with li- attached
(Li-mrat)
However, if a word begins with the definite article, which is Al- "the" (Alif and Laam), then the Alif is removed completely and the laam from the preposition li- is added to the remaining laam from the definite article. Al-bint, which means "the girl"
Becomes with li- attached
(Li-lbint)
You can see that the letter is missing in Li-lbint. So if a word intrinsically has Alif at the beginning, then that alif is retained in writing but not pronounced. But when a word does not begin with alif, such as bint, but has the definite article (which does have alif at the beginning), then that alif is removed completely.
Now look at what happens when we attach li- to allah.
Allah
Becomes
The alif is gone! Doesn't that suggest that there is a definite article in the front of "Allah"? That it is indeed "Al-Ilah", which means "The God", and that it is word not a name?
I even have theory as to why the i in ilah is gone when it becomes Al-lah. Again, look the word imrat - woman. When the Al- is added, it is not pronounced al-imraat, but Al-mraat! You see, here to the i is gone not only in pronunciation but in writing too! The same must be the case with ilah.
But as I said, I only know a little arabic, and a little arabic can be dangerous...
I hope someone more knowledgeable can correct or confirm this post.

Im a bit lost of what you are saying, what was it that makes it similar of what Kashif Khan article of Pazuzu's explaination?
-
As far as I can remember, which is not much, becus I wrote that some time go, the question seemed to be from which root comes the word Allah, Pazuzu, said from lam-ha, and he gave some explanation of it, and I said that I was in agreement with Pazuzu assessment, although I do not think, when it comes to meaning or translation tht does not matter too much, because each person has his or he rown concept of God which depends no on the language, but on what one is capable of conceiving, and the name it is given for people with the same conception may be near, but even with the same word for peole of another conception will be disimilar. For someody whose highest concept of God is a man with beard and very angry, even though using the same word, will not be the same tht for someone whose concept of God beyond imgination and as the source of al being, unencompassable and master and ruler of existence and all that exists.
Salaam
