The Hindus latest claim.

[wel_mel_2]

Bismillah:


Recently our Hindus friends have come up with new idea to convince Muslims that their God (whom they call Lord Ram) is the same as Allah (which is God’s name in Arabic). They said that there must be a huge relationship between their ‘god’ Ram and Allah the God of Muslims and that’s why we see one of the oldest City in Palestine called <b>Ramallah </b> which is a combination between both names (i.e Lord Ram and Allah), Indicating that both names refer to the same God.


So it’s our duty as Muslims to clarify this ‘weird’ misconception to our Non Muslim friends.


The name Ramallah has its origins in two words, Ram or Rama is <b>an Aramaic word </b> meaning 'a high place' and Allah is the Arabic name of God, making Ramallah <b>God's hill.</b>


<b>So there is no relationship whatsoever between "Ram" the God of Hindu and the Arabic name of God Allah.</b>


More information about the City of Ramallah.

It would help if people would do their research before making such assumptions.


Maybe another city has hindu links in Palestine just because it has Sheva part of its name...Be'er Sheva!

That is like saying <b>Ala</b>bama is Muslim...

I've also heard it said that Tallahasee (In Florida) is also an arabic word.

Really interesting thread, worth of reading and pondering.

If it means anything, it means that many, although deny Islam as religion, and Allah the Only True Deity worthy to worship, attempt to find a link in order to validate their own belief. Sobhan Allah.

And they belied them (those Signs) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof. So see what was the end of the Mufsidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-doers, liars.).(Quran 27:14)
