Some of the biggest misconceptions 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 and Muslims have different concept of Almighty God to Christians.
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, for example god’s, goddess, etc.
The Aramaic word “El”, which is the word for God in the Language that Jesus 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.
