This isn't really accurate. I'm editing it to explain the usage of the word. I'm also deleting "Another way of saying Allahumma is "Allahom", which is said when no word follows the original word "Allahom", Allahumma is usually said when there is another word following Allahom, so the extra "ma" is like a connecter to the next word." This sentence doesn't make much sense, as "ma" is not a "connector word" in Arabic.

The article remains unreferenced. sorry.

Can you explain this rule, I'm intrigued. Why does 'umma' only occur as a vocative on this one word? --Baba farouq (talk) 23:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wasla

I am not sure about this that the alif of allah is alif al wasl but it would make sense since there is a double consonance. But the etzmologz of this word, allah, would be missing then. (to be correct: the a of allah is alif al wasl but it is part of the definite article whose alif is alif al wasl since through prefixing him a double consonance is created. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.238.213.241 (talk) 14:21, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lit. translation

Have added lit. translation with a vocabulary reference. Cpsoper (talk) 23:44, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, your reference just leads to an opening page for al-ma'ani, which will give a different word each time it is opened.--Akhooha (talk) 01:11, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, fixed. Cpsoper (talk) 01:23, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually what Sibawayh said was يا الله أمّنا بخير (ya-llāh ʾummanā bikhair) and the literal meaning has nothing do with "mother" or "origin". It is the verb that is being used. The literal meaning is "O God, lead us in goodness".--Akhooha (talk) 01:55, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, if so, and if you access to the original text please correct the Arabic and the translation in the article.Cpsoper (talk) 17:36, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can't see أمنا in your reference, Akhooha, can you clarify? Cpsoper (talk) 20:00, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you follow the link to the reference, you should see أمنا as one of the three highlighted words.--Akhooha (talk) 20:12, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
