Why do so many Quran Aloners still use the term "Allah"

jonny_k

Peace bro "AB",
There was NO "al-ilah" in the old original Arabic. "Allah" is the conraction of "al-ilah". Please try to udnerstand this. Not a single time does the Quran mention "al-ilah". Therefore theres no "abd al-ilah". And "Allah" while being an attribute is NOT the personal name of GOD since there is NO such thing as the personal name of GOD. GOD Bless!

Bro not every word that starts with Al, means it is the Al "Al Muarafa"

all the names other than Allah, you can remove the Al and it will still be valid, EXCEPT ALLAH, if you remove the Al, you will end up with a non sensible word which is "Lah" represented by only two arabic letters "Lam & Ha". and this word does not exist as far as I believe

i wonder why you want to change this common kbnoweldge about Allah even before Islam came to existance, your motion is very silly and uncalled for bro, sorry to tell you that

Peace

Peace be upon you,

Al + Ilah , when combined become Allah (The God).

This is a description, JUST LIKE the rest of the descriptions we are given to address the ALL(God).

The God says whatever you describe IT as, to IT belongs the BEST descriptions.

The God dose not have a NAME like a human. We dont call IT Bob, or Jimmy, etc. To NAME something is to DEFINE something, therefore placing LIMITS on something. Physical objects like humans must be named/defined in order to seperate it from another object. The God is not an object, IT is the SUBJECT or ALL OBJECTS We are all objects of the one sentence (UNI - VERSE).

WHen we read "In the description of the God", it is helping us understand that this message is a message that helps us to bring out the "likeness of God" within us. We are purifying ourselves so that the God can manifest itself through our vehicle, this is how we serve the God. The hidden thoughts and the visable vehicle are made to SERVE the manifestation of God on Earth.

Peace bro

excuse you man, WHY YOU CHANGED THE WORDS FROM BEST NAMES TO BEST DESCRIPTIONS?

the verse never said best description, i guess you made this up

for Al-Ilah

there is no such thing in arabi that

Al + Ilah = Allah

because Al + Ilah = Al Ilah

did you get it bro?

peace

Everyone needs to put their petty differences and hair splitting aside. Any true Muslim knows that God judges our intentions. I don't care if you call our creator God, Allah, Dieu, Dios, Elohim, Hashem, or Bob Marley. As long as you believe in the God that revealed the Qur'an and abide by His commands and tenets, names might as well mean nothing. It is sickening to watch so much useless hair splitting take place.

2-Pac Also I personally agree with jonny the simple reason being is that God is beyond language and therefore we shouldn't limit The God to a simple word if we are to believe that his system/religion is for all of mankind to follow and not selected people in the Middle East who speak Arabic/Aramaic or whatever. Just my 2 cents!!

Agreed. There are many paths to Allah. The path I choose, that which uses al-quraan, uses the word 'Allah' and that's how I govern my thoughts. No disrespect to anyone else.

mquran

JohnyJK- Even in the Quran "Allah" is not used as a name or personal god as many believe. We should use the term for GOD of the language which we speak. Ofcourse im not forcing anyone. Thats just my advice. If you wanna be considered terrorists and racists by non-Arabic speakers, which i believe would be the result of doing so, then that's entirely upto you .

It might be percieved in that way, correct. That is why I prefer both approaches.

mquran

JK- "Allah" is the conraction of "al-ilah". It is difficult to pronouce to "alifs" like in "al-ilah". Therefore we never see this term in the Quran at all. It's just like "a apple" in English which is wrong. It should be "an apple". GOD Bless!

So why isn't al-azeez 'alazeez' ?

unknownuser

Peace mquran. thats a very interesting example. I have a bit of basic arabic,are there any more similiar examples? I have wondered whether allah is a contraction of al-ilah or not. It would be good to see responses from other memebers as well. Then we might get closer to knowing what the word allah could mean. Peace all.

mquran

Sorry, my example should be one that starts with an aleef, not an ain.

So my question to Johny why isn't it 'alkhir' but 'al-aakhir'?

Hello to all

The irrefutable argument against those who say Allah = Al + Ilah , is this

All of Allah other names was almost (as far as I know) expressed with the ?Al? and without the ?Al? to refer to him, EXCEPT ?Allah?, here is an example for 2 names "Al Aziz & Al Hakim", what is importnt to note is when they appeared without the "Al", the name Allah appeared with them lol

Not necessarily. You can also write left to right. Non-online Newspapers publish in top-to-bottom fashion. So do many magazines. Online newspapers are left-to-right. Most text books are left-to-right. Almost all materials online are left-to-right. )

I'm afraid I can't agree with this argument because I've never seen a 'rahmaan' without 'al'. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm afraid I can't agree with this statement because I included the word almost in my statement

but I agree that Al Rahman was never used without Al in the Quran and that is why I said ALMOST

Salam bro "AB",

JK- The point is that in "Al-ilah" the second "Alif" is dropped to EASE THE PRONOUNCIATION, and hence we have "Allah". Even without the "alif" though "lah" is NOT A NONSENSIBLE WORD. "lah" means "to him". Infact bro "Layth" sugested the meaning of "Allah" to be "the to him(in the sense that God is the one to Whom all things belong and return). There's nothing more mystical about that. GOD Bless!

jonny_k

Peace "mquran",

So why isn't al-azeez 'alazeez' ?

JK- This is because "'aziz" is with an "ain" NOT an "alif". "ain" is diffrent from an "alif" as the sound comes from the throat. It is easy to pronounce even in this case without need of conraction. GOD Bless!

Peace "mquran",

Sorry, my example should be one that starts with an aleef, not an ain.

So my question to Johny why isn't it 'alkhir' but 'al-aakhir'?

JK- It hasnt only got to do with a word starting with an "alif" BUT THE PRONOUNCIATION should be that of a simple "alif" like we hear in "al" NOT "aal". A similar example can be found in English. Take the word "hour", though it dioesnt start with a vowel we HEAR A VOWEL SOUND AT THE BEGINNING and thus the word is preceded by "an" not "a". The case with "Allah" can be thought off as a similar one. GOD Bless!
