Some of The biggest misapprehensions that many non-Muslims have
about Islam have to do with the word "ALLAH".
For various reasons, many people have
come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews.
This is totally false, since "ALLAH" is simply that Arabic word for
"God" - and there is only One God. Muslims worship the God of Noah,
Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. However, it is
certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of
Almighty God.
For example, Muslims - like Jews - reject
the Christians beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation.

First of all, it is important to note
that "ALLAH" is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and
Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word
"ALLAH" being used where "God" is used in English. This is
because "ALLAH" is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to
the English word "God".
Additionally, the word "ALLAH" CANNOT
be made plural or given a gender, which goes hand in hand with the Islamic
concept of God. If we were to use the name God, it can be made into plurals and
given gender, i.e. god's, goddess, etc.
The Aramaic word "El", which is the
word for God in the Language that Jesus (pbuh) used and spoke, is certainly
more similar in sound to the word "ALLAH" than the English word
"God". This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God,
which are "El" and "Elah", and the plural form "Elohim".
The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all
Semitic languages (Sister Languages), with common origins.
Translating the Bible into English, the Hebrew
word "El" is translated variously as "God", "god"
and "angel"! This imprecise language allows different translators,
based on their preconceived notions, to translate the word to fit their own
views. The Arabic Word "ALLAH" on the other hand presents no such
difficulty, since it is only used for The Almighty God alone.
The Arabic word "ALLAH" also contains
a deep religious message due to its root meaning and origin. This is because it
stems from the Arabic verb ta'allaha (or alaha), which means "to be
worshipped". Thus in Arabic, the word "ALLAH" means "The
One who deserves all worship". This, in a nutshell, is the Pure
Monotheistic (one) message of Islam.
"Allah"
is the Arabic word for God. In Islam, Allah is the one, unique, and
all-powerful deity who created and governs everything in existence. Muslims
believe Allah is the same God worshipped by Jews and Christians, but their
understanding of Him is shaped by the teachings of the Qur’an (the holy
book of Islam) and the Prophet Muhammad.
Here
are a few core beliefs about Allah in Islam:
- Oneness (Tawhid): Allah is singular and unique,
without partners, children, or equals. This concept of monotheism is the
foundation of Islamic belief.
- Merciful and Just: Allah is both infinitely
compassionate (Ar-Rahman) and perfectly just (Al-Adl). These are two of
His 99 names, each representing different aspects of His nature.
- Transcendent yet Near: While Allah is beyond human
understanding and not bound by space or time, Muslims also believe He is
close to them and answers prayers.
- Creator and Sustainer: Allah created everything and
continues to maintain and govern the universe.
- Unseen: Allah cannot be seen or depicted
in any form. Any attempt to represent Him visually is forbidden in Islam.
