Its a mushroom eaten by Richard? :huh: ^_^


One thing thats occured to me while reading this thread, I wonder if the word Allah has crept into English.


The word 'all' certainly sounds like a shortened version of Allah, but in German its 'alle', which is actually pronouncd the same as Allah. Given that Allah could be said to be everything, and therefore 'all', there is a link in the meaning.

Sobhan Allah Arclight, but u cannt really say that Allah Means everything but rather to be precise Allah Owns everything. Since Allah Is never manifested. If u say Allah Means everything, u will fall into the potential trouble of incarnation.... u see what i mean.


O now where is Faris, dont say I chased him away... :ph34r:

I probably put it the wrong way. I didn't mean that the word Allah means everything, rather that Allah is in everything. Theological discussion isn't my strong point, so I'm not used to trying explain it :)

Peace....While there were some other points raised that I feel need addressing, this particular thread isn't the place for it, so I'll stick on topic.


In wondering if the term "allah" has crept into american english, I came across this. I don't know if his information is accurate, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

"Have you ever wondered what the name Tallahassee means? It means that He Allah will deliver you sometime in the future."


Like I said, I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

Next you'll be wondering if Hallajulah means <i><b>All praise to Allah</b></i> in ancient semitic script. B)

While I don't understand why you quoted me with the comment you made, I'll take it in the light hearted tone the smiley face implies. And no, that will never cross my mind as I know what Hallelujah means (notice the difference in spelling):


Hallelujah


<i>praise ye Jehovah</i>, frequently rendered "Praise ye the LORD," stands at the


beginning of ten of the Psalms; 106, 111-113, 135, 146-150, hence called


"hallelujah psalms." From its frequent occurrence it grew into a formula of


praise. The Greek form of the word (alleluia) is found in Rev. 19:1, 3, 4, 6.


allēlouia - al-lay-loo'-ee-ah


Of hebrew origin, <i>praise ye Jah!</i>, an adoring exclamation: - alleluiah.


Definitions taken from Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionary


So as you can see, I am very clear on the origin of hallelujah.
