Allah

== English == === Alternative forms === Alha (obsolete) === Etymology === From Arabic اللّٰه (allāh), contraction of اَل (al-, “the”) + إِلَه (ʔilah, “deity”); cognate with the Aramaic אלה (aláh) and אלהא (aláhâ), and Hebrew אֵל (él), אֱלוֹהַּ / אֱלֹהַּ (elóah) and אֱלוֹהִים \ אֱלֹהִים (elohím); ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ʾil-.-. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /əˈlɑː/, /ˈɑːlɑː/, /ˌɑːˈlɑː/ (pronunciation which is close to the standard Arabic pronunciation [ʔalˤˈlˤɑːh]) IPA(key): /ˈæ.lə/, /ˈɑːlə/ (anglicized pronunciations; close to dialectal Arabic [ˈʔɑlˤlˤa]) Rhymes: -ɑː, -ælə === Proper noun === Allah (Islam) God, in Islamic or Arabic contexts ==== Usage notes ==== While in Arabic اللّٰه (allāh) is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, current English usage almost always restricts the corresponding English term Allah to Islamic contexts only. Various newspaper style manuals recommend translating the Arabic word in English as God, as this better reflects Arabic usage, but the term is often left untranslated in Islamic contexts. Thus either “Allah is great” or “God is great” may be seen. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === See also === Appendix:The 99 names of Allah === References === === Further reading === Names of God in Islam on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === Anagrams === halal == Albanian == === Etymology === Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish اَللّٰه, from Arabic اَللّٰه (allāh), ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ʾil-. === Proper noun === Allah m Allah ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === Jungg, G.

(Exodus 20:2) ==== Usage notes ==== In Indonesian translations of the Bible, Hebrew אֱלֹהִים (elohím) is translated into Allah instead of ilah in contradiction with Indonesian Islamic terminology. The usage by Islam and Christianity contexts reflected the Arabic اللّٰه (allāh) which is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, unlike the controversial Malaysian Standard Malay Allah for Christian usage. ==== Derived terms ==== === See also === Tuhan === References === === Further reading === “Allah”, in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language] (in Indonesian), Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016 == Malay == === Etymology === From Arabic اَللّٰه (allāh); ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ʾil-. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /allah/, [aɫɫah], [ɔɫɫɔh] Rhymes: -ah === Proper noun === Allah (Jawi spelling الله) (Islam) Allah (Christianity) God ==== Usage notes ==== Although Malaysian Christians have fought for the right to use "Allah" to refer to God in Christian contexts, citing its use by Arab Christians as a precedent, the Malaysian courts have ruled that using "Allah" outside Islamic contexts is illegal. ==== Descendants ==== > Indonesian: Allah (inherited) ==== See also ==== Tuhan === Noun === Allah (uncountable) (obsolete) day; sky === References === === Further reading === "Allah" in Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu (PRPM) [Malay Literary Reference Centre (PRPM)] (in Malay), Kuala Lumpur: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, 2017 == Polish == === Alternative forms === Allach === Etymology === Borrowed from Arabic الله (allāh). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈal.lax/ Rhymes: -allax Syllabification: Al‧lah Homophone: Allach === Proper noun === Allah m pers (Islam) Allah (God in Islam) ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “Allah”, in Polish dictionaries at PWN‎[7] (in Polish) == Portuguese == === Pronunciation === === Proper noun === Allah m alternative spelling of Alá == Serbo-Croatian == === Alternative forms === Alah === Etymology === Borrowed from Arabic اَللّٰه (allāh); ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ʾil-. === Proper noun === Allah m anim (Cyrillic spelling Аллах) (Islam) Allah === See also === Bog == Swedish == === Proper noun === Allah ?
