Bruce Wayne said:However poor the term is, it serves to make a bridge towards those not well educated about Islam. Allah is indeed the term. But this is irrelevant in out discussion.
:m:
It is relevant. It is even the essence of matter.
There is nothing whatever like unto "ALLAH"...
The point is that one cannot mistake ALLAH for something else, you cannot campare Allah to an understanding of God in your mind or anything else. Allah is free from any conception of God, because there is nothing whatever like unto "ALLAH".
The whole structure of Islam is based upon the conception of “Allah” that all other principles and injunctions of Islam flow. Take away this conception and the whole structure of Islam would crumble. Unless this conception is understood truly, no other principles can be understood truly, and man’s behavior would then be bound to affected adversely.
