Why do so many Quran Aloners still use the term "Allah"
-
Salam,
well i think it is safe to use Allah or God....as Allah means The God in translation,if i am not wrong Allah is an arabic word borrowed from aramaic meaning Al-illah...The God.Also,the most beautiful names belong to God...as long as we use the quranic attributes to call on God...we are safe...and language is not too relevant..but we should be careful of inventing new attributes and names without knowledge...as God condemnd those who invent names like the Allat,al uzza...etc....yeap..hope this helps...and well since quran mentions Allah i am MOST comfy with using Allah though i use it interchangeably with God duringg daily conversations.
Salam.
And God knows best...this is just my opinion..and is not to be taken as something posessing any authority of its own...pls be aware...
Regards,

It is illogical to assume that if we use the original name of the Creator Allah, people would think we are hadiyth advocates or terrorist. Have you thought about the counter Jonny_K that people may think we are Christians or Christianized Muslims who only use the pagan English Greek term GOD?
One of the mistakes with some or many Qur?aan alone Muslims make is that they place too much emphasizes on English. English is just a human interpretation of Al Qur?aan and cannot be equal in any form or fashion to the original Arabic. It should be the goal of the Muslim to get more in tune with Arabic rather then the other way around, which is being stuck on English. The more and more we over emphasize English the easier it is for many people (especially those wolves in sheep clothing) to innovate their own assumptions, opinions, falsehood etc. etc., but the more we get in tune with Arabic this problem or form of deception will become less & less and that also includes the name for the Creator. Allah is original, its in the Arabic text and any thing that is a translation is nothing but a deviation from the original source and it can never be as strong and as potent as the original source. The enemy would love for us to only use the term "God" and not the original name ALLAH because this would be a process to water down the presence of Islaam from the spiritual consciouness of the Mumin. When the world say "Allah" they conjure up Islaam but when the world say "God" they conjure up Christianity. Allah never revealed in the Qur'aan that His name is "God" nor in any other scripture for that matter but if one does a simple research on this subject, you will be able to see that Allah is in Syretic Arabic/Aramiac/Hebrew, just to name a few. People throughout history have created or concocted different names for the Creator and instilled their belief system or innovated their belief system or dogmas within the connotation of the name for the Creator that they have again invented and one such concoction is the pagan Greek/English term GOD
The original name of the Creator Allah is found in all the Semitic languages. The link below represents my position on this issue
