| 1. A person can play around with the English word �God�: Muslims prefer calling Allah (swt) as Allah, instead of the English word �God�. The Arabic word �Allaah� is pure and unique, unlike the English word �God� which can be played around with. 2. God + s = Gods: If you add the alphabet �S� to �God�, it becomes �Gods�, that is plural of God. Allaah is One and Singular. There is no plural of Allaah. 3. God + dess = Goddess: If you add �dess� to �God� it becomes �Goddess�, that is a female God. There is nothing like male �Allaah� or female �Allaah�. Allaah has no gender. 4. God + Father = Godfather: If you add the word �father� to �God�, it becomes �Godfather�. "He is my Godfather" i.e. he is my guardian. There is nothing like �Allaah Abba� or �Allaah father� in Islaam. 5. God + Mother = Godmother: If you add the word �mother� to �God� it becomes �Godmother�. There is nothing like �Allaah Ammi� or �Allaah mother� in Islaam. 6. Tin + God = Tingod: If you put �tin� before �God� it becomes �Tin-God� i.e. a fake God. There is nothing like �tin Allaah� or �fake Allaah� in Islaam. 7. Allaah is an Unique Word: �Allaah� is an unique word, with which can neither conjure up a mental picture, nor can it be played around with. �Allaah� is the name mentioned for the One Unique and True God, in the Qur�an. Therefore, Muslims prefer calling God, �Allaah�. But sometimes while speaking to non-Muslims we may have to use the inappropriate word �God�, for Allaah. |
