God and Religion

The word Allah (الله) is the Arabic term for God, or in other words, the Arabic God. In Islam, Allah is the main word for God. Muslims use 99 Names of God to describe God, but Allah is the most common of these and means all of them.

When a Muslim says Allah, all of the other names of God are thought of as part of it. Muslims also believe that this word tells about God's being a single entity and as being without wrong or defect and of God having no partner.

In Arabic, the name is composed of four letters, ا ل ل ه (or Alif Lam Lam Ha) which when brought together make الله. Most Arab Christians believe that Allah is made up of three devine beings; the Father, Son and Spirit, that together they make up God. In Hinduism has been called trinity. The tri-murties. (Brahma, Krisna and Siva).

"Allah" is often used by Muslims, when they're praying. Muslims have a faith in one God, one person who made everything, one judge and only one person who has power over all things. ~ Wikipedia

"This is because 'God' in other religions is translated as 'Tuhan' in Bahasa Melayu or Arabic, not 'Allah'. 'Allah' specifically referred to God in Islam.  ~ Tun Mahathir Mohamad

"I accept the term 'Allah' had been used in Sabah and Sarawak before the two states joined Malaysia, but it is difficult to stop them from doing so now but in the peninsular, we have not heard of such practice," ~  Tun Mahathir.

Do I have to explain and elaborate what this is all about? The wikipedia have said it and the famous Tun Mahathir have said it.  But to be accurate, no one can be. But the logic and to except the truth is another issue.

Malaysians and the Muslims should consider. But in another word, when comes to religion and GOD, will anyone except terms and conditions. I don’t think so. So, do not blame the Muslims.

Everyone or most of the intellectuals know GOD is one. All of us come from  GOD who is the one and the only one. But we humans from the vase variety of landscape, language, culture have our own way of calling and praising GOD.

We name GOD in many terms that flow from our love for Him. But one should understand that GOD has no name. No one can name him. When he is the supreme how can someone be above him to name him?

But we call him by praised, giving him the best calling can be. Every name calling has its meaning. The best meaning ever can be. So, it creates different name from different language from different culture.

So there were the religions. Even this religion creates scholars. Too many scholars who got nothing to do but created teachings and dividers.  They created borders. They build the wall to separate themselves from others. The wall of religions.

Today, as we move forward we find that what ever was  part away has move to come together. With the help of technology the world has comes together and even smaller.

We can hide away but has to face the fact. The facts that God is one. But we humans had split him in many terms.
