Quote:Similar question on language, is Allah a word or a name?
For example, in English God is used for the Almighty, but its also word a to describe any religous diety, such as the Roman and other pagan gods.
So is Allah specifically a name, if so what term would you use for pagan gods?
Maa salaama,
<b> إله</b> = ilaah = god
<b>آلهة </b> = aalihah = gods
<b> (الإله (ا ل إ ل ه</b> = al-ilaah = the god = <b> (الله (ا ل ل ه</b> = Allaah = Reformatted (al-ilaah). Meaning the One and Only God.
<b>الله </b> Allaah (Allah) is specific and applicable only to "The God"...because there is no other.
