Which Name is Unique, Allah or God?

<h1>Which Name is Unique, Allah or God?</h1>Author: <a title="Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/prof.dr.-ibrahim-khalil/14726.htm">Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil</a> The unique phenomenon of the name Allah:

In Arabic, the name Allah is composed of four characters; they are: Aleph, Lam, Lam and Haa

Allah is pronounced as Allahu when comes at the beginning of a sentence.

The name Allah is the Great name of the Lord, the Almighty Creator of this cosmos.

The name Allah is mentioned in Quran 1567 times

God is mentioned in the Bible 3877 times.

The unique linguistic phenomenon of the name Allah:

The name Allah is a unique name which is quite different from the name God.

From the linguistic point of view, the name Allah can give the same meaning if we use:

•	All of its four characters

•	Three characters

•	Two Characters

•	Or the last character

To illustrate this unique phenomenon:

If we say Allah; it means the Great name of the Lord, the Creator.

If we deduct, subtract or take away the first letter Aleph, then we get three Characters (Lam, Lam and Haa) which is pronounced as: Lillah and means: To Allah.

If we deduct the first two letters Aleph and Lam, then we get two Characters (Lam and Haa) which is pronounced as: Lahu and also means: To Allah.

If we deduct the first three letters Aleph, Lam and Lam then we get only one Character; the last one (Haa) which is pronounced as: hu and it means: Him.

This unique linguistic phenomenon indicates that the name Allah can give the same meaning by using all of its four characters, three characters, two Characters or one character.

The name God does not have this phenomenon; which is not applicable for any name but Allah.

God the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.

If we deduct the character G, we will get od

Od in dictionary means:

An imaginary force which in the past detained to include all environment and to manifest itself in magnetism, mesmerism, chemical action, etc

Also, od means a person who has taken an overdose of a drug, esp. one who has become seriously ill or has died from such an overdose.

And it means also, to die from an overdose of a drug

.

If we deduct the characters G and O, we will get d which is the fourth letter of the English alphabet, and it is used as a contraction of had, did and should.

God's Many Names

What is Islam

1. dody (01:04, 10.03.2009)

Allah is a name for something (that people think) who has created the universe, or who has ability to change the world with It (He) power. But we have to remember that the name comes from ARABIC. (Most Arabian call Allah for they God).

How about the other names, or other people in the other parts of the world ?
You can call It (name It) with anything you want as long as it denotes the best thing in the Universe ( In Arabic, it says ASMAUL HUSNA, ASMA=NAME, HUSNA=GOOD).

The God must be the biggest thing in the universe, It must be bigger than universe because It (He) is the creator of the universe.
The God must be the finest thing in the universe, It must be more fine than atom (or foton or anything you think the finest things) because He has to get through to all body in the universe. He has to give the power to the electrons to do their spin (rotation to itself).

The God has to...so on and so on.

If you have the God smaller than universe, please leave that God.

2. dody (00:42, 10.03.2009)

God or Allah or anything you want to say, It must be bigger (or the bigest) thing than everything, Itmust be the finest thing in the universe.

Electromagnetic signal (Tv, mobile phone, X- ray, and so on) can cover the whole area even it can get through our body (wall, building, submarine, and other dipper areas).

So, God must be cover all over things in the universe more than electromagnetic can do.

God must be only one, but people can name It with their own languages.

In the Quran, neither Monasticism nor priesthood is prescribed. There are no priests; and Allah's Commandments are even and equally prescribed for all Muslims.

By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 04/12/2009 | Meditation

A Priest is but a man; he is not an Angel

By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 03/12/2009 | Nature
The physiological requirements of any man are to eat, to drink, to have sex, to sleep etc. On the other hand, the Angels do not eat, drink, have sex, sleep etc. It is not fair to ban priests from having sex. Would or could we ban a priest of eating, drinking or sleeping etc.?
