Why we cannot name 'ALLAH' as 'God'?

[Sufi]

The word “god” is a common adjective, yet “ALLAH” is a proper noun for the Unique Essence (zat), out of Hu there is nothing independent in existence.

I mean, that is not a matter of naming or word pronunciation. There is an enormous difference between the meanings of these two words.

An understanding of a religion with a “god” or a concept of “godliness” is groundless and false!

The original “religion of ISLAM” in effect is fully based on the meaning denoted by the name “ALLAH.”

The statement “la ilaha ill-Allah” means “there is no god, there is ALLAH alone.” In order to be an earnest Muslim, we must first distinct that difference in meaning properly.

If we limit our comprehension fixed with a concept of a “god,” we suffer the detriment of the meaning the name “ALLAH” refers to, for it will consequently make us losers of the treasure of mystery of human's being chaliph on earth.

“God” is a being out-there, afar-off yourself, that is worshipped and praised in the expectation of favor from him!

“ALLAH” is the Reality (haqiqat) within your Essence, Who is being served all along!

“God” is a bugaboo to be “frightened!”

“ALLAH” is the source of a “deep reverence” and “awe” (hashyat) for the people of insight, which is generated through comprehension of their nothingness beside the limitlessness and infinity.

“God” is a ruler and a judge afar-off, assumed to be out-there, which is sculpted in the minds of inefficient people according to their fancies.

“ALLAH,” unlike, is the One and the only Absolute Being, that created the universes from within Hu's own being and Hu is being experienced along with the meanings of Hu's Names (asma) at every particle, with none else to be compared onto Hu...

“God” is a fictitious balooney sculpted in people's minds in accordance with their social conditionings and value judgments, which was adorned and smartened up with various faculties and assumed as a possessor of people’s imaginary ascriptions, at every age and in every community depending on the level of people's understanding.

“ALLAH” is Ahad (the Ultimate One), Samed (whole), Lamyalid and Lamyulad .

Dear Sufi,

No.

"God" is an English word which is the exact translation for your "Allah" and also for all the Sanskrit Words which delineate Divine Being.

The whole gist of your argument is that Islamic Conceptions of Divinity are superior to those of all other Religions. Only Muslims think so! Honest Brokers in the World's Religious Community concede that the Sanskrit Religions have the greatest comprehension of the Divine Philosophies and Terminologies. The Sanskrit Traditions see broader and deeper.

Beyond correcting the Christian Heresy of Polytheistic Trinitarianism, Islam has no more sophistication than what was expressed by the various Catholic Saints.

But, yes, Islam IS spiritually quite wealthy when compared to Protestantism which has effectively renounced religious spirituality for its easy assertion of an unexamined assertion of Faith.

The difference between the meanings behind these two words is not normally seen until what is referred to as 'Allah' is learned.

As long as one resists reading about it, one will not see the benefits.

who is "HU"?

 

[Sufi]

who is "HU"?

the word “Hu” in the Holy Koran is translated as "he" into English. The pronoun "he" denotes denotes the third person who is male.

We also have another term, which we use to mean: “father-god.”
We acquired this term from the Christians, whose God is usually thought of as being male; i.e. God the father of Jesus (Isa) (peace be upon him).

However, “Allah” is not referred to as a “male-father out there!”

Let us now try to reflect on and understand the essence of the word, “I”.

Indeed, let us zoom in on the very essence of matter, and gradually go down into the dimensions of molecules, atoms, neutrons, neutrino, quarks, and quanta, and let us force ourselves to experience everything in the dimensions of particles and waves. In other words, let us do a dimensional zoom-in, or a scientific “Ascension” (Miraj).

This is what the Arabic word “Hu” represents: a “dimensional beyond” within the essence of being, in a form without quantity and quality.

Let us take this new meaning into consideration, and compare it with the meaning of the English word: “he” which indicates the third person masculine. And let us be aware of the confusion of ideas arising from changing the meaning expressed by the word “Hu” into the meaning that people commonly give to the word: “He”.

How can we possibly come to the truth, if the word “Hu”, which means the “point of Oneness having universal dimensions”, is mistaken for a god with a specific gender?

How can we possibly reconcile the concept of a phenomenon that is beyond being “limitless and infinite” with the concept of a male “father god” who has a concrete form behind his abstraction?

Didn't Jesus refer to God as Alaha (Aramaic for God)?
I think it's in the Peshitta.
