Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word "e;Allah."e; For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "e;Allah"e; is simply the Arabic word for "e;God"e; - and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Adam,Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. For example, Muslims - like Jews - reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. This, however, does not mean that each of these three religions worships a different God - because, as we have already said, there is only One True God. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be Abrahamic Faiths , and all of them are also classified as monotheistic. However, Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas.First of all, it is important to note that Allah is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word Allah being used where God is used in English. This is because Allah is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word God with a capital G . Additionally, the word Allah cannot be made plural, a fact which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God.It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word El , which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word Allah than the English word God. This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are El and Elah , and the plural or glorified form Elohim. The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins. It should also be noted that in translating the Bible into English, the Hebrew word El is translated variously as God , god and angel ! This imprecise language allows different translators, based on their preconceived notions, to translate the word to fit their own views. The Arabic word Allah presents no such difficulty or ambiguity, since it is only used for Almighty God alone. Additionally, in English, the only difference between god , meaning a false god, and God , meaning the One True God, is the capital G . Due to the above mentioned facts, a more accurate translation of the word Allah into English might be The One -and-Only God or The One True God. More importantly, it should also be noted that the Arabic word Allah contains a deep religious message due to its root meaning and origin. This is because it stems from the Arabic verb ta allaha (or alaha), which means to be worshipped. Thus in Arabic, the word Allah means The One who deserves all worship. This, in a nutshell, is the Pure Monotheistic message of Islam.
