Allah is the Arabic name for God.

In English we can say ?gods? suggesting a plural. We can also assign a gender by saying ?goddess?. The word Allah is independent of these two characteristics. Allah refers to the creator of the Universe, neither male nor female, without partners; a singular Entity - who may be known and understood by the attributes which Allah has revealed about himself.

Aramaic was a common language used between 600 BC to 650 AD, a language of Jesus, which is written from right to left, as Arabic. The word ?HHLA? (right to left) is transliterated as ?ELAHH?.

In Hebrew, the word ?ELOHIM? which is the plural of the word ?ELOHAW? is derived from the Aramaic word ?ELAHH? which is pronounced identically as the Arabic word ?ALLAH?

If you actually read the Bible in Arabic you will see that they use the word Allah to refer to God. The same can be observed in the oldest Churches where the word Allah is inscribed on the walls

In my understanding whether you say Allah or God makes little difference, as its a label we use to identify an Entity i.e. the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe

Umer, u more than likely right. The Zoroastrians, they still vexed about Alexander the Great!! Wasn't Freddy Mercury one? They were monotheists too, no?

I could be wrong but I believe the English word, 'God', is derived from the Germanic word, 'Gott'. Gott itself is derived from the Persian word, 'Khoda', which is probably a divine name from the days of Zoroasthura.

Umer M.

Absolutely right. I mean, it's in correlation with the linkages between the pre-cursors of modern languages. That's why I love history, it shows how man is the same, yet we endeavor to take pride in our differences - and use such differences to entice trouble!!

At the end of the day, it's spirituality, not religion. The relationship between one man and his god.

Here's an intersting cut-n-paste:

The root-meaning of the name (from Gothic root gheu; Sanskrit hub or emu, "to invoke or to sacrifice to") is either "the one invoked" or "the one sacrificed to." From different Indo-Germanic roots (div, "to shine" or "give light"; thes in thessasthai "to implore") come the Indo-Iranian deva, Sanskrit dyaus (gen. divas), Latin deus, Greek theos, Irish and Gaelic dia, all of which are generic names; also Greek Zeus (gen. Dios, Latin Jupiter (jovpater), Old Teutonic Tiu or Tiw (surviving in Tuesday), Latin Janus, Diana, and other proper names of pagan deities. The common name most widely used in Semitic occurs as 'el in Hebrew, 'ilu in Babylonian, 'ilah in Arabic, etc.; and though scholars are not agreed on the point, the root-meaning most probably is "the strong or mighty one."

Side mention, Sahadat, in history the Jews first appearance occurs at about the time just before Rameses the Great. On a stele in Egypt, the are recorded as 'Isreal'...not a country, but a group of people. Now what is interesting is that a hundred years earlier, we have the first monotheist the recorded world had known...the heretic Pharoah Akhenaten. Is it possible that the 'Isreal' people that Rameses banished were followers of Akhenaten's cult?

It is eerie since Akhenaten worshipped the sun disc called Aten, and outlawed polytheism in Egypt, yet after his death, the old was were re-instated - his followers couldn't have simply stopped their beliefs! Could Aten have been this name that the Hebrews lost? I mean, parts of Akhenaten's hymn actually appear in the bible - though that can be a coincidence!

Jehovah (yahweh in hebrew or iehova in latin), is actually thought to be the substitute for the 'divine' name of god. Scholars say that it may even be a name given as recent as the 16th century, but writers even at that time knew of the name. It has been suggested that the Rabbi's lost the name over time, and this was the replacement.

In hebrew it mean 'the be all, and end all'. So I'd stick to that.

Achilles, I always wondered - do you kow anythng about the etymology of Jehovah? Allah and even Rubb are actually nouns but Jehovah seems to be an actual name... Do you know why the Judeaic term differs from the other Talmudic traditions?
 
Login to find out (September 29, 2005 at 5:49am)
Sahadat is right. Al is arabic for the lah meaning god.

Rubb on the other hand is also originating from arabic...ie rab-il al-lah meen. The punjabi's adopted that. But again, in ancient egypt, ra was the god of light, and ba meant soul....raba, which then went on to arabic, as ancient egyptian, like arabic and hebrew was a semetic language.
