Claims about YHWH

I removed "By this time [1934] Christians were also becoming accustomed to retaining the Hebrew term "YHWH" untranslated^{[dubious – discuss]} (it was previously translated as 'the Lord')." The articles Sacred Name Bibles, Sacred Name Movement and Angelo Traina document that the date for this is decades later.

"Allách" in Czech and Slovak should be replaced with "Alláh" (the word "Allách" isn't used in either language). (source) Craftext (talk) 07:13, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

about the picture "Allah script outside Eski Cami"

Hello

With respect

The picture "Allah script outside Eski Cami" reminds Jewish prayer near the wall of western wall.

It would be better if you change it with this picture:

2606:A000:9B81:6800:3503:C73F:F34F:7EA7 (talk) 21:50, 15 July 2015 (UTC) What I Know Is... Allah was also the name of an idol, a pre-Islamic moon god, worshiped by Arabs. It's symbol was a crescent commonly found atop minarets, mosques, and emblazoned on flags from Islamic countries.[reply]

Not done What you know is wrong, and even if it wasn't, what you know isn't listed at WP:Identifying reliable sources and goes against WP:No original research. The Star and crescent association with Islam dates back to 19th century Ottoman nationalism. Back in Muhammad's day, and even during the Crusades, it was Christians flying the star and crescent. The Ottomans were descended from Turks, and the star and crescent were tied to Turkish culture.

Your claim borders on being Not even wrong. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ALLAH is not Al+Ilah

On 4 February 2013 (UTC)Omar Amross raised this objection, please see Archive 5, and still the page does not reflect the correction against the citations marked as 2, 3 and 4. In Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane, 1893, Book 1 page 83, there is a comprehensive discussion to understand that ALLAH is not a derivative form of Ilah. It does not fit the Arabic Grammar and if it is carried over from some previous languages then Arabic rules can not be even applied. Thus, it remains a Proper Noun as ALLAH. Syed Ali The Muslim (talk) 04:46, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The text in the article is sourced. Also, you seem to misunderstand what it says. There's nothing in the text which suggests it isn't a proper noun and a contraction wouldn't by its nature be compliant with grammar rules. DeCausa (talk) 06:50, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ALLAH

We agree in islam view, ALLAH is the One God.

all the source including webster, encyclopedia britinica only specific is mentioned ALLAH. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowweatyh (talk • contribs) 11:03, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the sources you were citing fail our reliable sourcing guidelines, and your phrasing violated our policy on a neutral point of view. Saying "ALLAH" over and over does not magically make those policies and guidelines disappear. Ian.thomson (talk) 11:18, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ALLAH

i already have read webster and encyclopedia. When i read about ALLAH, It is strictly specific only about ALLAH. Serious no contradiction.
