Allah

[angelmom01]

I've read MANY threads on this forum where people refer to Allah as the God of the Muslim's as if this is a proper name of some "false god" and that is just not true, so I would really like to set the record straight and educate those who are unaware of the fact that "Allah" is the ARABIC WORD ~for~ GOD.

Just as "Dios" is the SPANISH word for GOD.

And "Dieu" is the FRENCH word for GOD.

"Allah" is the ARABIC word for GOD.

It is not the "proper name" of a particular Islamic God connected only to Muslims. Even Arabic CHRISTIANS use the word "Allah" to refer to GOD. The Aramaic BIBLE uses the word "Allah" for GOD, as it is the Arabic word ~for~ God.

I would just like to ask that we please keep that in mind when making statements about Muslims and "false gods" so that we don't insult our Arabic brothers and sisters in CHRIST because of our lack of knowledge on this subject.

Many thanks!!

The god in which the Muslims call Allah, is not the true God..by this I mean the god they worship is not God..

They believe in the God of our Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac/Ishmael, Jacob/Israel and even that Jesus was born of a virgin.
Unfortunately they do not believe He was crucified and ascended to the Right Hand of YHWH, but one day both them and the unbelieving "Jews" will have the "veil of Moses" lifted from their eyes, just as I did.

Revelation 1:1 [a/an] From/Un-Covering/Veiling[ apo-kaluyiV] Yeshuwa` Mashiyach, which gives to Him, the God/YHWH , to show to the bond-servants of Him, which is behooving to be becoming in Swiftness.

Agreed.

Frankly, I've never seen any Christian call God Allah on this forum. But if some do because of their Aramaic roots, I personally have no issue with it, so long as they're not talking about some kind of universal god that both Muslims and Christians worship. In the Western world, the name Allah is usually associated with the false Islamic god. It's just a cultural thing. None the less, I will certainly be considerate that some use it to refer to the One true God.

The word "god" is a word derived from a word for pagan gods. The word "allah" is similar. "Theo" is from greek for god, thus "Theology."

The Muslims worship the one true God, their God is our God. However they have limited understanding of our God.

Muslims have a limited understanding
Jews have more
Protestants more than them
Orthodox even more
Catholics have the fullness of revelation.

 

[hraedisc]

The word "God" in English has origins in a Teutonic god. Take that for whatever it's worth.
Abba is what we need to remember! Our Father.

 

[hraedisc]

God is not a name, anyway. It's a title. But don't get caught up in any sacred name movement.

Is Allah originally an Aramaic word? I thought it was just the Arabic word.

Anyways, when ever we do parts of the Liturgy in Arabic at my church, we say Allah.

Quddusun Allah. Quddusun al-qawi. Quddusun al-adhi, la yamut irhamna.
Holy God. Holy Mighty. Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

Sorry the God of the Jews, Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox did not promote us to kill other's who did not believe in what we believe..My True God is Jesus Christ, they deny He is God.

 

[Lotar]

I don't think Jews worship the true God any more than the Mohammedians do.

Actually your right.

Aramaic Christians who believe in Jesus Christ would Praise Allah (Aramaic for God) and praise Allah for salvation "in Christ" in accordance with the truth.

So when one calls Allah "evil" they are just using the aramaic langauge for the word God and calling God evil being ignorant of it.

The number ONE might be spoken differently in many langauges because of dialec. Yet within each language (when translated) and understood ONE is STILL ONE. Just as ALLAH is simply the aramaic WORD for GOD.

I agree, if we heard (in our own language) another call God evil and all sorts of terrible things we would WINCE at that. Yet thats exactly what others do in ignorance of the aramaic language and call ALLAH names, because they know not its a word for GOD.

I agree there are our Aramaic brothers and sisters in Christ who (in their native tongue) praise Allah (God) for Christ our Lord.

Only over a WORD

Proverbs 12:6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood

Hate =murderer Our Lord and John shows that.

Look at what the Koran, Muhammad and their Allah say and compare it to what Christ, God and the saints have done and said and then tell me that their "god" is the same as our God.

I highly doubt the fullness of revelation comment.

 

[Tonks]

Are we discussing the Allah of the Islamic faith or the title "Allah" used by Arabic speaking Christians? The former is false the latter is perfectly acceptable.
