Who is Allah?

Allah SWT

Muslims believe in the one Creator of the Universe, referring to Him as “Allah” which is the Arabic word for “God’.

Muslims worldwide, even English-speaking Muslims, frequently use the Arabic word “Allah” because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an. But Allah is no different than the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus.

In the English language He is most commonly referred to as “God”.

For example, Jesus did not speak English, he spoke Aramaic. God in Jesus’s language is “Elah”.
Are “God” and “Elah” different gods? Simply, no. Many Hispanics call God “Dios” and many French say “Dieu”. They are all they same!

In fact, many Arab Jews and Arab Christians call God “Allah”. And the word “Allah” is written in Arabic script on the walls of many Arab churches and on the pages of Arabic Bibles. So while the understanding of God may differ between faith groups, the various names used to describe Him does not change the fact that the one Creator of the Universe is the God of all people.
