"Allah" is GOD's Name, "Elaw" means "GOD" in Aramaic: How can they be the same?

Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent
THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true.
The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect "total accuracy" from the Bible.
This is the argument that I received: How can the Arabic "Allah" equal to the Aramaic "Elaw", when "Allah" is only a Name for GOD Almighty in Arabic, while "Elaw" actually means "GOD"? "Allah" does not mean "GOD" in Arabic, does it?

The response is actually quite simple: "Elaw", or "ilah" in both Aramaic and Arabic respectively are derived from the mother word "Allah". In Islam, GOD Almighty has 99 Names/Attributes: Most Merciful, The Great, Most Gracious, etc... "Allah" is one of those Holy Names/Attributes. Muslims often refer to GOD Almighty as "Allah", because it is not only His Holy Name, but it also means that He is the Supreme GOD. That is why some English translators of the Noble Quran such as Abdullah Yusuf Ali (may Allah Almighty bless him and rest his soul. Ameen) translate "Allah" in the Arabic Quran as "God" in the English translation for some Noble Verses.

To further prove that "Allah" in Arabic means the Supreme GOD Almighty, let us read the following Noble Verses:

"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

This is how these Noble Verses are translated in the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation. Notice that he used "God" for "Allah". The Noble Verses in Arabic are as follows:

"Qul huwa Allah ahad, Allah al-samad; lam yalid wa lam yuwlad; wa lam yakun lahu qufuwan ahad. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

These Noble Verses clearly prove that "Allah" means Supreme GOD in Arabic, because they start with "Say he is Allah..." Notice that it didn't say "Say his name is Allah...", even though GOD Almighty's Holy Name is "Allah". But the "Say he is Allah..." quote clearly indicates that "Allah" here is a DESCRIPTION or an ATTRIBUTE to GOD Almighty, and not just a personal Name. This clearly proves that "Allah" means the Supreme GOD Almighty in Arabic. There are other Noble Verses that I can present from the Noble Quran that would further prove this point, but I think Noble Verses 112:1-4 are sufficient enough.

When a person embraces Islam, he/she would say:

"I bare witness that there is no GOD but Allah, and Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger."

The "no GOD but Allah" means that Allah Almighty is the supreme GOD. Many gods and idols exist in the world. People took idols for worship as the far eastern Hindus and Budhists do. Others took GOD Almighty's creation such as fire and the sun as gods such as the Zoroastrians and others. Others even took humans and worshiped them such as the Egyptians during Pharaoh's time, and the modern Trinitarians worshiping Jesus, the Son of Mary peace be upon him and her.

So gods did and still exist today and will always exist. It is part of our human nature to worship idols in a hope to get closer with GOD Almighty Himself, the Supreme GOD Almighty. But man does not need to go through any god, because The Most Supreme GOD of all, Allah Almighty, exists and had always existed, and He is close to us and He listens to our Prayers:

"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (The Noble Quran, 2:186)"

So there is no need for us to associate any partners with Allah Almighty to worship Him. We can worship Him directly without any idols or mediators. Please visit What is the Wisdom of Islam? to learn more about the Oneness of Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran.

The words "elaw" in Aramaic, and "ilah" in Arabic are words that were derived from the root word "Allah". Allah Almighty is the GOD of the Universe, and He is the Supreme GOD. When Jesus cried to GOD Almighty "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani?" in Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34, he said "My God my God why have you foresaken me?" in English translation. "Eloi" is derived from "Elaw", and the later is derived from "Allah".




Conclusion:

The Aramaic "Elaw" and the Arabic "Allah" are the same. The Aramaic "Elaw" is derived from the Arabic "Allah", and it means "GOD". "Allah" in Arabic also means "GOD", the Supreme GOD Almighty. You can easily see the close similarity in their pronunciation.

  • Many Muslims I Want You To Know That Jesus Is Bringing Thousands Of Your People To Christianity Everyday. Because he Revealed Himself To Them..:) Allah is No Healer Jesus Is. Allah And Budah is In Hell And Those That Don't Believe in Him. John 3:16, For God So Love The World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son That Who so ever believe in him will have everlasting life..:) By The Way Check Out This Video Called Angelica Dead For 23 Hrs. Those Who Don't Believe Will Go To Hell.

  • @thecomedygang Jesus does not bring people to Christianity the people who do cling to it do so because of it's lack of discipline by allowing gay Churches and wine sipping. Islam teaches discipline and the Qu'ran is a revelation like that given to Jesus the difference is the Qu'ran has remained in tact and the Church has changed the Bible to suit it's desire.

  • You said what in my mind and all Muslim minds around the world. Thanks God for making me know Islam. I was born Muslim but it took me a while before I started to make efforts to understand my own religion. The more I study Islam the luckier I realize I am.

  • @onsproductionz , Mohamed is your master. Pagans are always idiots. The mother of your god was just 12 - 14 when she married a 90 years old. Besides, therefore she gave birth to your god when she was just 10, What do you call that bitch?

    I told you that, idiot, a man who worship a man is pagan. God is not a man nor he became a man. Go fucker yourself and worship what you want but don't say what you cannot say to my face.

  • @MuslimOwned So? He's trying to make it look good. Apparently, he did because there are 1.5 billion people who believe his false teachings. Jesus is the way, the sooner you get that, the better.

  • @TheSaffyone You can say idiot all you want, but if you still believe "Mohammad" you're the idiot at the end of the day. Your prophet is faker than breast implants, faker than cartoons.........he was a murderer and a rapist, why don't you people see that? Jesus is God in the flesh, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of power (if you're not already burning in Hell).

  • @onsproductionz Muhammad can not be a false prophet because the Quran speaks against Satan:

    Quran 35:6

    Verily satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents, that they may become Companions of the Blazing Fire.

    Mark 3:26

    And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.

  • @onsproductionz Listen idiot, don't insult our prophet. If reading spencer's book is a document then stay in your coco land.

    Lets find out who went astray from the straight path.

    Are you asking me to worship a man and become pagan like you? LOL.

    I don't worship man. Christ is a man. Then carry on worshiping him, but don't allow yourself to insult our prophet. Do you get that?

  • @TheSaffyone Allah is fake? Why are you so easily swayed? God said there would be many false prophets to come, the main one Mohammad. When will your types get it? Mohammad is Satan's way of turning people from God, and he's doing a damn good job. Mohammad was a rapist and murderer, and that's documented. What the hell is wrong with you people? Get off the Jihad juice, and start believing in Jesus while there's still time.

  • @onsproductionz I don't worship a man!. I bare witness that there is no God but Allah the creator of heavens and earth. The unseen, the one and only God. He is above our imagination and anticipation. We know he exists through what he created but nothing can describe him or compare to him.

    After all the above, you are idiot if you think I am pagan. Who is your god?

  • @TheSaffyone so your saying you're a pagan? And? I knew that to begin with tard.

  • @onsproductionz . a man who worship a man is pagan.

  • @Earthquakeize for a product there is production. Life is a product. Life is real. Existence is real. stars , space, water, trees, planets etc are all real products. Who produced them?.

    The question is can you prove the cause of existence doesn't exist?
