The meaning of the word "Allah" (God):

**A young Spanish woman explains the meaning of the word "Allah" (God) **

*This young Spanish woman is currently studying a master's degree in Arabic at the University of Yarmouk, in Jordan. One day, during a second-year class, professor Fakhry Kattaneh asked his students a question:*

**"Who of you can tell me about the divine name (Allah), from a miraculous and sonorous linguistic point of view?"**

*No one raised their hand except a young Spanish woman called Helen, who speaks fluent classical Arabic despite being Spanish and Christian. She said:*

> "The most beautiful thing I have ever read in Arabic is the name 'Allah'. The way this name is pronounced in the human language has a unique melody, as its sounds come from the back of the throat, not the lips.

> The divine name is not pronounced with the lips, as it does not contain dots. Now pronounce the name 'Allah' and understand how you do it!

> You pronounce the letters from the back of your throat without moving your lips. This means that if someone wants to remember the name 'Allah', anyone around may not realize it."

*She continued:*

"Another miraculous aspect of this name is that even if some letters are removed, the meaning still remains the same.

- As we know, the divine name is usually pronounced with the final vowel 'u' (Allahُ).

- If we remove the first letter (alif), it becomes 'Lillah' (for God) as mentioned in the verse:

*(“To Allah belong the most beautiful names. Call upon Him for them.”)*

- If we remove the 'alif' and the first 'lam', we are left with 'Lahu' (for Him), as mentioned in the verse:

*(“To Him belongs everything in the heavens and on the earth.”)*

- If we remove both the first 'alif' and the second 'lam', only 'Hu' (He) remains, and this still points to Him, as mentioned:

*(“He is the one who has no deity besides Him.”)*

- If we remove the first 'lam', it leaves 'Ilah' (deity), as mentioned:

*(“Allah, there is no deity besides Him.”)*

"The name 'Allah' has been widely studied by scholars. The oneness expression 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no deity but Allah) is composed of three letters: *alif*, *lam* and *ha*. They are light in pronunciation and do not require lip movement.

*She explained:*

"Do you know why? To make it easier for someone who is on the verge of death, so that he can say it without moving his lips or teeth."

Its Hajj time: Remembering the meaning of sacrifice and sincerity:

*Peace be upon Prophet Ibraheem* Allah ordered him to take his family to a barren desert which had no inhabitants, no food, no water, and no means of provision. He didn't doubt or ponder. He obeyed. Allah ordered him to leave his wife and baby child in the blazing heat. He didn't think or doubt. He obeyed. Later on, Allāh instructed to sacrificed his child. He obeyed. You know the only thing Prophet Ibrahim's wife asked, "Was it Allah who ordered you to do this?" - That's it, she did not look at the pleasure of the world. She looked at the pleasure of Allah. She clutched onto her newborn whilst staring at an empty desert and it only increased her in conviction. You know how beloved her action was to Allah? thousands of years later, people give up everything to go to Makkah in order to imitate her and to quench their thirsts with Zam Zam - and they will be doing this until the last day. You know how accepted Sayyiduna Ibrahim's act of sincerity was? Peopl...
