ALLAH IS THE GOD FOR ALL MANKIND

Malaysian Muslims thought that the word “ALLAH” is exclusive for them and it exclusively refers to the god of the Muslims. Whether the Malaysian Muslims like it or not, these are facts about the word ALLAH :-
1. Perkataan ALLAH digunakan juga oleh orang-orang yang menolak ajaran Nabi Muhammad [6:91].
2. Perkataan ALLAH digunakan juga oleh orang-orang Kristian Arab dari sebelum Nabi Muhammad sehinggalah sekarang. Kita boleh membaca sendiri secara online Arabic Bible ini dan lihat sendiri perkataan “ALLAH” ini yang ditulis di dalam tulisan Arab.
3. Perkataan ALLAH digunakan juga oleh orang-orang Kristian Indonesia. Banyak program-program TV Kristian disiarkan di Indonesia sempena hari Natal. Kita boleh lihat pengunaan perkataan ALLAH di dalam program-program TV ini.

3. ALLAH (di dalam bahasa Arab) = TUHAN (di dalam Bahasa Melayu) = GOD (di dalam bahasa English).
4. ALLAH bukannya nama khusus untuk tuhan orang-orang Islam. ALLAH adalah perkataan Arab bagi perkataan TUHAN. Sebab itulah orang-orang Arab yang menentang Nabi Muhammad [6:91] serta orang-orang Kristian Arab juga menggunakan perkataan ALLAH.
5. Penggunaan perkataan ALLAH bukanlah sesuatu yang eksklusif untuk orang-orang Islam sahaja. Sesiapa sahaja boleh menggunakan perkataan ALLAH. Pernah atau tidak Nabi Muhammad, Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman dan Ali melarang orang-orang yang tidak mahu menerima Quran dan orang-orang Kristian Arab dari menggunakan perkataan ALLAH? Adakah kerajaan Mesir, kerajaan Iran serta kerajaan negara-negara Arab lain melarang rakyat mereka yang beragama Kristian daripada menggunakan perkataan ALLAH? Pernah atau tidak kerajaan Indonesia melarang rakyat mereka yg beragama Kristian daripada menggunakan perkataan ALLAH?
6. Memang benar perkataan “ALLAH” tidak terdapat di dalam kitab asal Taurat atau Injil kerana KITAB ASAL TAURAT DAN INJIL DITURUNKAN ATAU DITULIS DI DALAM BAHASA HEBREW DAN ARAMAIC, BUKANNYA DI DALAM BAHASA ARAB. Akan tetapi, perkataan “ALLAH” terdapat di dalam Old Testament dan New Testament yang telah diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Arab. Perkataan “ALLAH” terdapat di dalam Quran kerana perkataan “ALLAH” ialah perkataan Arab dan Quran diturunkan atau ditulis didalam bahasa Arab. Orang-orang Kristian dan Yahudi yang bukan berbangsa Arab bertutur di dalam bahasa ibunda mereka sendiri dan mereka tidak menggunakan perkataan Arab "ALLAH" apabila mereka bertutur di dalam bahasa ibunda mereka, akan tetapi, perkataan "ALLAH" digunakan juga di dalam Quran apabila merujuk kepada pertuturan mereka. Ini adalah kerana Quran ditulis di dalam Bahasa Arab, oleh yang demikian perkataan Arab "ALLAH" (Arabic) digunakan bukannya "YAHWEH" (Hebrew) ataupun "ALAHA" (Aramaic). Contoh seperti di bawah :-
[6:91] THEY NEVER VALUE GOD AS HE SHOULD BE VALUED. Thus, THEY SAID, "GOD (ALLAH in Arabic text) does not reveal anything to any human being." Say, "Who then revealed the scripture that Moses brought, with light and guidance for the people?" You put it down on paper to proclaim it, while concealing a lot of it. You were taught what you never knew - you and your parents. Say, "GOD (is the One who revealed it)," then leave them in their heedlessness, playing.
[2:116] THEY (THE CHRISTIANS) SAID, "GOD (ALLAH in Arabic text) has begotten a son!" Be He glorified; never! To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; all are subservient to Him.
[5:18] THE JEWS and the CHRISTIANS SAID, "We are GOD's (ALLAH in Arabic text) children and His beloved." Say, "Why then does He punish you for your sins? You are just humans like the other humans He created." He forgives whomever He wills and punishes whomever He wills. To ALLAH belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and to Him is the final destiny.
[9:30] The JEWS said, "Ezra is the son of GOD (ALLAH in Arabic text)," while THE CHRISTIANS SAID, "Jesus is the son of GOD! (ALLAH in Arabic text)" These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. They thus match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. ALLAH condemns them. They have surely deviated.
[10:68] THEY (THE CHRISTIANS) SAID, "GOD (ALLAH in Arabic text) has begotten a son!" Be He glorified. He is the Most Rich. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. You have no proof to support such a blasphemy. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?
God of the Arabic Bible is called "ALLAH". I do not think you believe that there is a god for the English Bible and another god for the Arabic Bible and a third for the Italian bible...etc. It would be too naive. There is only one GOD. His "name" in English is GOD, in French: UN DIEU, in Italian: DIO, in German: GOTT, in Spanish: DIOS, in Portuguese: DEUS, in Arabic: ALLAH, in Aramaic : ALAHA and in Malay : TUHAN.
All these are no more than the names of GOD in different languages. To this day the Christian Arabs pray to ALLAH and talk about ALLAH. They called Him ALLAH even before The Quran was revealed to Muhammad and they know they were not worshipping any moon god. Those who still speak Jesus language (Aramaic/syriac) call God ALAHA to this day like Jesus did. Jesus did not pray to a moon god but to ALAHA (ALLAH in Arabic), the One and Only God.
The Arabic Bible, use the word ALLAH for God.
If you want to verify it, call any Arabic church in the USA or any English speaking country and ask them what they call GOD in their Arabic Bible and whether they still use the word ALLAH in their Bible or not. You may even check it yourself from the online Arabic Bible.
Jewish Arabs also pray to ALLAH and talk about ALLAH just like an English person talks about GOD.
Apakah perasaan orang Islam apabila “God is dead” diganti dengan "Allah is dead"?
Bagaimanakah perasaan orang Islam apabila seseorang menyebut “God is dead”?
There is something wrong with the Muslims if they are sensitive when someone said “Allah is dead” but not sensitive when someone said “God is dead” as both have the same meaning and refer to the same GOD/TUHAN/ALLAH.
GOD bless.
WHEN SOME SAY "GOD IS DEAD" or "ALLAH IS DEAD" .... IS JUST THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE ..... FOR A TRUE BELIEVER IN GOD SHALL NEVER AND WILL NEVER UTTER THAT KIND OF PHRASE or UNBECOMING REMARKS.
BUT HOW CAN WE HUMANS SAY "GOD IS DEAD" or even "ALLAH IS DEAD" WHEN THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD [ALLAH] SHOULD'VE KNOWN FULLY WELL THAT GOD [ALLAH] IS NEVER SIMILAR TO HIS CREATIONS .... AND GOD EXIST INFINITELY .....THUS GOD NEVER DIE - UNLIKE WE HUMANS (HIS CREATIONS) BORN TO LIVE AND DIE.
BEING A TRUE BELIEVER OF GOD [ALLAH] ..... EVERY HUMAN SHOULD KNOW THAT ONLY GOD [ALLAH] IS THE IMMORTAL ONE .... WHILE WE HUMANS OF HIS CREATIONS ARE JUST MERE MORTAL CREATURES OF GOD [ALLAH].
AND ONLY GOD THE ALMIGHTY - ALLAH.
