THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE WORD ALLAH![]()
The word Allah
takes shape with the combination of the basic
roots Alif, Lam and Ha. It is a proper noun and its
application is restricted to the following attributes:
1- Identifies an entity that exists by itself and is recognized as the Supreme Being.
2- There is nothing like it and all human beings look up to it, when in trouble.
3- The grandeur of whose creation is simply breathtaking.
4- Whose sovereignty is eternal and encompassing the entire cosmos and beyond.
5- Whose code and commandments are eternal and obeyed?
6- Who is everywhere, but still eludes the human perception.
7- The term Allah does not give any indication of gender; does not demonstrate a singular or a plural form; does no reflect any culture and is not a human creation.
8- Allah is beyond the confines of space and time and the terms like, the first and the last, are hollow adjectives to define infinity.
9- The expression ‘Allah’ is not a derivative of al-ilah [a pre-Islamic Arabian idol]. It is altogether a different entity, having totally different roots.
10- Allah is the epitome of perfection and thus is free of all conceivable defects.
Allah is beyond the perception of human mind. No living person has ever seen him over millennia and He has not directly talked to any one, not even his chosen Messengers. However, the concept of Allah does not change from place to place, nation to nation, and tribe to tribe. But, it is not at all right to say that god of all religions are the same; there is a distinct difference between Ram and Raheem and they are not one and the same. The ‘Father’ of Christians, the ‘Judeo’ of Jews, the ‘Ishwar’ or ‘Parmaatma’ of Hindus and ‘Armazd’ of Zoroastrians are totally different from one another, because their attributes are world apart. Many gods of antiquity are dead now. A god dies, when it loses its following. Amen Ra of Egypt, Greek Jupiter, Baal of Babylonia, and Zeus of Rome are all dead Gods, as they have lost their worshippers.
Nevertheless, there are numerous other gods, besides Allah existing in this world. According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, there are some 2,500 gods representing ten thousands religions. It means that the religious leaders have chopped up one God into thousands of lesser gods, or in other words similar and dissimilar gods.
Following are some of the major categories of god or god groups, including feminine deities that are worshipped in the world even in the 21st century:
· Anthropomorphic
ALLAH AND THE QUR’AN
What a pity is it, that Karen Armstrong, the author of the book, entitled, ‘A history of God,’ [1993], a previous Christian nun [believer] now turned atheist [non-believer] was searching for God in Judaism, Christianity, sectarian Islam and other ten thousands religions of the world! This shows the extent of her misunderstanding and the lack of knowledge about the subject matter that she was trying to explore. How strange is it that she never tried to look into the verses of the Qu’ran, for the elusive concept!
The word Allah appears in the
Quran some 2000 times. Presented here are some of the verses pertaining to the
definition of Allah, which would enable the reader to have an unambiguous
perception of His exclusive attributes.
1- In the verse, 6:103, the Qur’an says, He is beyond your perception or no vision can grasp Him
![]()

‘Human
vision, perception, deliberation and even wildest imagination cannot develop
any concept of Him, but He has a handle on everything [right from the quarks
and gluons to billions of galactic formations, within the ever expanding
space-time continuum or from simple microbes to most complex life forms,
including human beings]. His [physical, chemical and biological] laws encompass
and control the entire universe in such a way, that your sensory prowess fails
you to take cognizance of multitudinous events taking place simultaneously. Through
His perfect natural laws, He has access to every human thought, imagination and
comprehension and is the only one, who possesses complete information about,
what goes on, in this cosmos, every moment.’
Any spiritual eye, a saint or even a Messenger cannot perceive him. The common belief among the Muslims that Mohammad had tête-à-tête with Allah at the occasion of Mairaj, is absolutely baseless, and is not even upheld by the Qur’an.
The above verse
carries the term La-Tudrekoo
, meaning a
notch at the end of a scale, the bottom most rung of a ladder or metaphorically
speaking the lowest level of human degradation. This word La-Tudrekoo
is an antonym of Darja
,and identifies individual steps of a stair,
moving along which, one ascends to the highest point of a built-up structure.
It also signifies acme of human dignity. The human desire to watch Allah in a
physical form or shape is, in fact, a denial of its very creation.
There is a dimensional argument that proves the inability of humans to have a look at Allah in its totality. It is a well-established mathematical conviction that a one-dimensional being cannot have any concept of a two-dimensional entity. Similarly, a two-dimensional life form can never visualize the real appearance of a three-dimensional creature. Now humans are four-dimensional in nature; three dimensions being length, width, height and the fourth is the time, which is perpendicular to the other three. Now that is a paradox, which is of no concern in this discussion.
But, here one thing is certain; Allah cannot be three or four-dimensional, because in that case He would be limited like us. Because He is unlimited, then He has to be either multi-dimensional or zero-dimensional like pure energy. But in the later case, He would not have any concept of us, according to the Law of Dimensions given above. Whatever may be the case, the reality comes out clear and loud; the humans can never see Him in His entirety.
All Islamic scholars and translators have written that according to the verse 7:143, Mosses requested Allah that he wanted to have a look upon Him, with his own eyes. It is illogical to say a thing of the sort, because such a magnificent Messenger of Allah could never make such an obtuse wish.

The correct translation of this verse is as follows:
‘Mosses
arrived at the designated place for receiving commandments from His Nourisher,
for the sustenance of his nation. He was very much scared of the cruel and
powerful hold of the Pharaoh, over the entire country. He was further perturbed
by the overall cantankerous behavior of his oppressed people. He did not know
how to rejuvenate his almost lifeless nation that has become fatalistic and has
adopted a defeatist attitude, because of the oppression and slavery going on
for millennia. He called out loud, “O’
my Nourisher! Show me the way, how can I make my nation to implement Your
social divine order, in their society? It is an awfully difficult assignment
and it seems next to impossible for me to accomplish anything positive.” Allah replied, “You shall not see me
[meaning, you will not watch this revolution get off the ground], if well
established and powerful leaders, who are like lofty immovable mountains, keep
the path of your movement blocked. When Moses realized that his Nourisher has
assigned him a task of great importance and responsibility of demolishing the
mighty empire of the Pharaoh, together with giving him appropriate
instructions, to cut down influential leaders like Hamaan, the highest priest
of the empire, Koro, the keeper of the royal treasure and other high ranking
members of the royal family, to size, he began to think about the plan of
action very carefully. During that intense thought process, he forgot all about
his surroundings, but in his mind he felt bursts of intense light exploding and
thunder echoing loudly. He sat there in a state of trance, completely
motionless, and silent for quite a while. Reverting to the real world, Moses
felt fully satisfied with his thought out modus operandi against the tyrannical
rule of Pharaoh, to make his revolution a brilliant success. He exclaimed with
jubilation, “Your laws are perfect and I am returning to your peaceful program.
I shall be the first person amongst my companions, taking initiative for the establishment
of a peaceful society. Undoubtedly, they are also working very hard for the
same objective.”
In the verse 2:260, the Qur’an states, that Abraham faced the same kind of hopeless situation pertaining to his nation, and he also called Him out loud, “O’ my Nourisher! Show me the way, how can I rejuvenate my lifeless nation?”
In view of the above, it is really dumb to even think for a moment, that revolutionary Moses, who very well knew the attributes of Allah, could make such a foolish demand of perceiving ‘Him in person.’ There are so many forces in the universe like, x-rays, sound waves, electricity, magnetic field, viruses, etc., which we cannot even detect with most powerful microscopes and gadgetry, but it does not mean that they do not exist. They do so and very much affect our lives.
2- In the verse 42:11, the Qur’an declares, “Nothing is like Him, because He is the Creator of the highest and the lowest parts of this universe.

‘He created
cosmos and your earth for the very first time. He created life from a unit-cell
and then divided it in to male and female genders. It took billions of years of
evolution, passing through innumerable gradual and spontaneous changes, to
reach the current form of life on this planet. Life progressed slowly to human
gestation period of nine months and it only happened, when reproduction changed
from asexual to sexual. We created you in pairs and then provided you and other
animals with the means [in the form of sperm and egg stored in male and female
bodies, respectively] to multiply yourselves, whenever you want. This way you
can independently increase or decrease human population on this planet. You can
understand His personal attributes through these examples, but you can never
ever comprehend, imagine, or, define anything even remotely resembling Allah,
because He is different from what you perceive in the cosmos. Even the question
of ‘how’ He is ‘different’ from all that exists, within the confines of the
ever-expanding space-time continuum, is beyond human perception [because human
mind and other faculties have severe limitations]. It is, therefore, illogical
to find similarities between His and human attributes, though both may possess
some far removed semblance in certain aspects. And after creation, he did not
leave it on its own. On the contrary, He established a phenomenal system of
watching and recording everything, including humans, to maintain check and
balance, together with accountability.’

‘Allah is the Supreme Being, having the absolute
authority and infinite charisma. He presents the perfect model of His Asma-ul-Hussna [the epitome of
exquisiteness and perfection] scattered all over the pages of the Qur’an, like
scintillating pearls.’[20:8 and 59:24]

‘You will
find sovereignty and domination of His commandments everywhere in the expanding
universe and beyond [Allah being a proper noun, means no man-made rules or
regulations]. Like the attributes of His name [which are most apposite,
absolute and authentic] mentioned in the Qur’an, His sets of laws, through
which, He keeps the cosmos up and running are perfect, precise and
par-excellence. He is the Supreme Being in this cosmos and beyond, because His
laws [physical, chemical and biological] are equally applicable everywhere. The
entire universe is in the grip of his mighty and immutable commandments. His
attributes are perfect and free of all conceivable blemishes or imperfections.
He possesses the sole authority for our guidance through the Quranic laws and
exclusive responsibility for our nourishment through the processes of Molecular
Biology developed through evolution.’[20:8]
4-
‘Mohammad explain it to them! Allah is the only
supreme ruler; His laws are unique and are without any partnership.’
The Muslims of
the current era do not believe in Allah, because the supposed Muslim majority
states have the sovereign human systems established in the form of sham
democracies, cruel dictatorships, tyrannical autocratic rulers and ignorant
theocracies. Their belief in Allah is merely lip service and all of them,
without any exceptions, are compulsive liars.
In deed, they perfectly match the definition of Mushrekeen,
presented by the Qur’an. [

5- Another definition of Allah:
‘He created
the highest and the lowest parts of this cosmos, the very first time and creates
everything from nothing; then how Allah could have a son, when He never had a
wife? This is your Allah, the Nourisher, Who created whatever exists, within
and without. You should follow only His laws and remember that He is the
protector and is all knowing.’ [6:102-3]
Since the
Muslims are not obeying His laws, they do not trust Allah’s laws revealed in
the Qur’an.

‘To have trust in Allah, means to think impartially,
utilizing human senses.’ [27:64]
Most of the people have blind faith in Allah. They are
hopelessly naïve, and knowingly or otherwise, add their wishes and emotions to
the divine social order. Sometimes, they associate partners with Allah, while
practicing popular rituals and customs, coming down from the fore fathers. The
Qur’an is of the opinion that this kind of behavior is nothing more than,
monkey see, monkey do. Believing in Allah means thinking objectively, while
using your convictions together with faculty of reasoning.’

‘Allah
is supreme, sovereign and owner of this universe. His natural working laws have
unlimited application throughout the cosmos. He is totally at peace with Himself
and maintains tranquility and security everywhere in the heavens, also keeping
it away from evil and destructives forces. None else, but He is the Guardian,
Watcher and the Controller of this cosmos. The domination belongs to Him only,
as He is Al- Jabara [a powerful medium that sets things right; restores
dilapidated objects to the original form; removes ill-health and misfortune.
Additionally, it is a delicate technique used by the surgeons to realign the
broken bones correctly, either with splints or plastering]. Thus Jabbar
is an attribute of Allah that changes wrongs into rights and maintains perfect
functioning of all forces and bodies within the expanse of space-time
continuum. He is the most dignified, possessing infinite glory, but is totally
beyond anything and everything, which humans may ascribe to Him for sharing His
solo divinity.’[59:23]

‘Allah’s

whom He considers worthy of that responsibility. No one can ever receive any
commandments from Allah, through meditation, worshiping, practicing some
mystical calisthenics in caves, forests, or standing up in the shallow waters
of rivers, on one leg.’ [2:105]
The Islamic and Sufi folklores carry a pertinent, but absolutely false story, how Mohammad used to retreat to a cave called Hira for worshiping or mediating, before His appointment to the exalted position of the last Messenger of Allah. And it was there that he received his first revelation. This cock and bull fabrication is against the very tenets of the Qur’an and is a conspiracy against Allah and His most magnificent last Messenger and the Book bestowed upon him.’
