WHAT DOES ALLAH MEAN?? with references please, no opinions?

Answer 1

al = the
illah = God

Said together, you have "Allah" which means "the God."

Answer 2

Allah is the Arabic term referring to "God", The "Lord" and literally to The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Abrahamic religions, according to the Qur'an. It does not mean a "God" but rather "The Only God", The Supreme Creator of the Universe, and is the main term for the deity in Islam.

This is what it says in Wikipedia. But actually, Allah is the Arabic, not just Islamic, word for God. Arab Christians & Jews use the same word.

Answer 3

ALLAH when translated from arabic to english means - SUPREME BEING. it is not a name of a man, animal or any mytological character. the best definition of Allah is the one below.

Al-Fatiha | 7 verses | The Opening سورة الفاتحة
Sura #1 | Makkah

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
2 Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
3 The Beneficent, the Merciful.
4 Master of the Day of Judgment,
5 Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.
6 Show us the straight path,
7 The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

Al-Ikhlas | 4 verses | Absoluteness سورة الإخلاص
Sura #112 | Makkah

1 Say: He is Allah, the One!
2 Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
3 He begetteth not nor was begotten.
4 And there is none comparable unto Him.

now if there is anyone who can find me a better definition of God then please do, but u should also know that nothing will describe Allah as better as this.

Answer 4

According to the quran, Allah is the only God. Allah is only one name among the 99 names that muslims call him.....The God of Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon and the other patriarchs. I believe Allah is the same God that we are referring to in Christianity since we only have one God. I would not talk here about the Holy Trinity because non-Christians will oppose it. And it will require alot of explanation.

Answer 5

Allah is the Arabic word for God. Broken down its meanings are Al for the and illah for God. Muslims believe that Alllah is the name of Gods own presence and it is the most precious because it is not descriptive names like the other 99 names.

Answer 6

"Definition of Allah (SWT) from the Qur’an, from Surah Ikhlas, Ch. No. 112, which says...(Arabic)... ‘Say he is Allah, one and only’ ...(Arabic)... ‘Allah, the absolute, the eternal’ ...(Arabic)... ‘He begets not nor is he begotten’ ...(Arabic)... ‘And there is nothing unto him like in this world’. But the Qur’an also says in Surah Isra, Ch. No. 17, Verse No. 110, it says...(Arabic)... ‘Say you call upon him by Allah or by Rahmaan. By whichever name you call upon him, to him belongs the most beautiful names’. The same message that to Allah belongs the most beautiful names, is mentioned in the Surah Araf, Ch. No. 7, Verse No. 180, in Surah Hashr, Ch. No. 59, Verse No. 24, as well as in Surah Ta Ha, Ch. No. 20, Verse No. 8, it says... ‘To Allah belongs the most beautiful names’. But the name should not conjure up a mental picture. It should be a beautiful name. Why do Muslims prefer calling God Almighty as ‘Allah’ then the English word God, because the Arabic word ‘Allah’ is a pure word. The English word God, it can be played around with. If you add an ‘s’ to God, it becomes ‘Gods’, ‘plural of God’. You can not add an ‘s’ to Allah. There is nothing like plural Allah. Allah is one...(Arabic)... ‘Say he is Allah one and only’. If you add a ‘dess’ to God, it becomes ‘Goddess’, ‘a female god’. There is nothing like female Allah or male Allah. Allah has got no gender. If you have a god with a capital ‘G’, it becomes true God. If you have a god with a small ‘g’ it becomes fake god. In Islam we have only one true Allah. We do not have any false Allah, only true Allah. If you add father to god, it becomes ‘godfather’. He is my godfather. He is my guardian. You can not add an abba to Allah or a father to Allah. There is nothing like ‘Allahabba’ or ‘Allahfather’ in Islam. If you add a mother to god, it becomes Godmother. You can not add a mother to Allah or an ‘ammi’ to Allah. There is nothing like ‘Allahammi’ in Islam. If you put a tin before God, it becomes ‘Tingod’, ‘fake God’. In Islam there is nothing like ‘Tin Allah’. Allah is pure. It is unique, you can call him by any name, but it should be a beautiful name. I hope that answers the question"
