What's the concept of Allah in Islam




Often one hears the Arabic word “Allaah” being used in discussions regarding Islaam.

The word “Allaah” is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God, and is the same word used by

Arabic speaking Christians and Jews. As a matter of fact, the word Allaah was in use far

before the word God ever came into existence, since English is a relatively new language. If

one were to pick up an Arabic translation of the Bible, one would see the word “Allaah” being

use where the word “God” is used in English. For instance, Arabic speaking Christians say

that Jesus is, according to their canon belief, the Son of Allaah. In addition, the Arabic word

for Almighty God, “Allaah”, is quite similar to the word for God in other Semitic languages.

For example, the Hebrew word for God is “Elah”. For various reasons, some non-Muslims

mistakenly believe that Muslims worship a different God than the God of Moses and Abraham

and Jesus. This is certainly not the case, since the Pure Monotheism of Islaam calls all people

to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all the other prophets, peace
be upon them.
