Who is Allah (God)?
The word 'Allah' is the unique name of God. He is The One and Only, the Absolute & Eternal God. He is the creator of the Heavens and Earth, the creator of the Universe. He is the Lord of all lords, King of all kings.
He is the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful. Allah Neither Begets, nor Is He Begotten. And He knows no equal. God offers a description of Himself in His book, the Holy Quran, stating:
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent" (Quran 112:1-4)
The word Allah translates to God. Allah is not a foreign God and does not bear a foreign name. Allah, rather, is the semantic term for God. Regardless of this fact, some people harbor the mistaken belief that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews; and that 'Allah' is simply the 'God of the Arabs'. This is far from the truth.
The word "Allah" is simply the Arabic name that connotes the Almighty God. Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians use this same word to refer to God. If one were to peruse an Arabic translation of the Bible, one would see the word "Allah" being used in place of the term "God." However, Muslims, Christians and Jews all have different concepts of God.
Muslims and Jews both reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity as well as the Divine incarnation. This, however, does not mean that each of these three religions worships a different God. There is only One true God.
Muslims prefer to use the name 'Allah' as opposed to the English word 'God' because the English word 'God' can be made plural and can be rendered masculine or feminine; whereas the Arabic word 'Allah' cannot be made plural and is genderless. For instance, if you add the letter 's' to the word God, it becomes gods--which is the plural of God.
In the case of the Arabic word 'Allah,' one cannot make the word plural by adding 's' or in any other way morphing the word's structure. Likewise, if one adds 'ess' to the end of the word 'God' it becomes 'goddess,' which connotates a female god. God is not female nor male. He is genderless. The word 'Allah' in the Arabic language, in turn, does not have a gender. It cannot be made feminine.
Additionally, Muslims reject the use of the word 'God' because it has different connotations to different people. God means different things to different people because the term 'God' indicates an entity worthy of worship; and regretfully, people assign godlike status to countless other beings, divine or otherwise. However, sometimes while speaking to non-Muslims, one may use the word 'God' instead of 'Allah' to help the intended audience understand the context of the word; to relate the message that you are indeed referring to the one Supreme Being.
The word Allah comes from the origin word Al-ilah, which enjoins the two terms 'The' and 'God' as in 'The God'. The term illah, which is the closest synonym to God in the Arabic language, is very rich and has several meanings. Illah refers to an entity that is worthy of worship and service, an object of devotion and love, someone you turn to in desperate times, someone you adore and think about all the time. Illah also is one that you turn to for protection, help or aid. You find sanctuary and rest in Illah, who is always present to comfort and guide beings of His creation.
The relationship with God is expressed in the Arabic word Al-Rabb, which is used frequently in the Quran. Linguistically it is defined by "sticking close to something." It also means "joining something with another." In the Quran, the word Al-Rabb implies that the owner (God) has full authority over his property (his servants), and is a Master who completely sustains His creation by regulating affairs, providing provisions, and granting all.....
