Answer 1

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.

It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.

If we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Answer 2

You are right. Allah, Ilah, is translated literally as 'The God'. Both words (in Arabic and Aramaic respectively) are Semitic languages; the language of the descendants of Abraham, thus explains the similarities. Other Semitic languages are Hebrew, Syriac, of which Aramaic is a branch.

Yahweh, or the latinised 'Jehovah' has an equivalent in Arabic; Ya Huwa or Ya Hu (where you drop the short vowel wa but it still means the same thing) which translates into 'O HE' ie 'O God' . There are still many prayers, invocations and Arabic sonnets in mainstream Islam or Sufi tradition that use the word 'Ya Hu' or 'Ya Huwa' as a poetic gesture to mean Allah / God.

Some theorist said Hallelujah or Alleluia is actually Ya Allelu or Ya Allahu (O God). So for those people who have problem using the word Allah, know that that was the word Jesus used when he prayed to God.

FYI God is English and in Persian and Hindi (two languages related to English in the Indo-European language family) its Khoda. See the similarity?

Answer 3

Allah, YHWH, and Jehovah are the names of the one true G-d recognised by the Abrahamic Faiths which are Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

In Fact, there are over 99 names for G-d in Islam, and 72 names for Him in the Kabbalah(Judaism), and Christians refer to Him as G-d, or Jehovah. In fact, all three are correct in their interpretation of His name. He essentially encompasses them all, and the other names that He is known by are sacred.

Amy Grant used one of His Hebrew names in a record called, 'El Shaddai'. Christians who have heard this song will have been hearing one of the sacred Hebrew names used in prayer in Judaism.

The names of G-d in Hebrew and Arabic are very beautiful to listen to and speak. That is why they are sacred, as these other names are said in prayer and are intended to bring us ever closer to Him.

There is no one single god for each Abrahamic Faith-they all share the one true G-d, who is the same today, as He was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. Also, all three recognise Him as the Alpha and the Omega (the beginning and the end)

Answer 4

Allah is the way Muslims address God. Yahweh is from the Old Testiment when God reveiled three letters representing His name. The letters didn't form to make a pronounceable name so man threw in additional letters so as to be able to address God by the letters He gave us.(YWH) Jehovah is the most commonly used name for God and often has a second part to describe a particular attribute of His Lordship.(Jehovah-nissi for example) The Bible is written in Hebrew for the Old Testiment and in Greek for the new. There are only four chapters in Arabaic in the Old Testiment.

Answer 5

Allah is the word for 'God' in Arabic.

However, in ancient Hebrew, God wasn't just 'God' (that is a title)- he had a personal name, the letters 'YHWH' were used for God's name (the tetragrammaton). They didn't write using vowels like we do today, but when people read the word, they automatically included the vowel sounds. Kind of like what we would do if we see words like 'Ltd.' or 'Bldg'. We know the proper words the shortened versions represent.

So, we don't know EXACTLY how the word YHWH was pronounced, but a commonly accepted form is 'Yahweh'. 'Jehovah' is how you say 'Yahweh' in English.

We have done this with many bible words in order for us to be able to pronounce them in a way that makes sense in our language. For example, the word 'Jesus' is in Hebrew 'Yeshua' or perhaps 'Yehoshua'. Nobody knows how Josheph and Mary pronounced Jesus name, but we say 'Jesus' in English and that is accepted.

Answer 6

I think that YHWH is pronounced through our breath.
Example:
Breath in deeply,then breath out slowly,forming the letters of the tettragramation Y-H-W-H,almost silently with your breath.
This very moment of breathing the word,or name of God,is life itself ,which is God.
He is breath,life ,the moment.

Answer 7

All I know is Jehovah is what some people call God, and yahweh is what the Jewish people beleive is the name of their God.
