'llah or Allah
« on: Wednesday 29 January 2003, 04:40 »
Salam,

since I don't speak any Arabic I'd like to know if there is any difference in the Arabic way of writing  'llah (the common word for God, I suppose) and Allah (the name of the God)? I hope you understand what I mean. For in many books I find the sahada translated as: No God but Allah.

Also, please, write for me the shahada in Arabic  and separatly  the word 'llah  and Allah .

Bismillah.

here is a link to what you ask

How to be Muslim

you even have the pronociation and in arabic and english
realy brother belief me we are working in other translations......
only have patience..

in arabic Allah
begin with an Alif lam lam (chadda) ha
it is important that each letter is prononced
for example if we say AAllah
it is a question which lead to kufr
it means is there a god? wal ^iyaada billah
or we dont say 'llah for Allah
because the letter Alif is gone there
i hope you understand
if you have a question feel free to ask :-)

Brother muhammed I think I got what Rahib wants.

my friend Rahib the name "Allah" remains the same by writing but the pronounciation differs when a vowel comes just before the name "Allah" I'll give you examples to make it clear.


when the vowels  (or tashkeel in arabic) comes before the name "Allah" we pronounce It ('llah)

for ex:
if someone said:
ÃÍÈß Ýí Çááå[/b]

ÃÍÈß[/b] = uhibbuka = I love you

 Ýí[/b] = Fi = for the sake of

 Çááå[/b] = Allah = Allah

As you see there is a "Fi" before the name "Allah" we pronounce it Fi'llah not "Fi Allah" but we write it "Fi Allah" in Arabic .


Another example:

Çááå ÑÈí[/b]

 Çááå[/b] = Allah = Allah

ÑÈí[/b] = Rabbee = is my God

Here we pronounce it "Allah" not ('llah) because there is nothing befor It.



Here is your second request which is the two testifications of faith:

ÃÔåÏ Ãä áÇ Åáå ÅáÇ Çááå æÃÔåÏ Ãä ãÍãÏÇð ÑÓæá Çááå[/b]

Ash'hadu alla Ilaha illa 'llah wa ash'hadu anna muhammadan rasoolu 'llah

the name (Allah) is in red .

In arabic the name "Allah"  is always written like this ( Çááå[/b]) but when It comes in the middle of the sentence we pronounce it ('llah).

now !! I hope you did understand my explanation ... if you need any more details please tell me.

my regards.

Salam, Abdu, my friend,

you perfectly understood what I ment. I only got 3 Minutes left on the computer, I oly want to thank you and I'll contact next time for more questions - if I may. Since I've been tol that ALLAH is a PERSONEL NAME while 'LLAH is the common word for GOD.

May GOD bless you.
