"The concept of Allah is different in the Muslim sense than in the Christian sense, we should not upset the Muslims and Muslims should not upset the Christians, we have been living in harmony for years and it should continue," he was quoted as saying in an interview with international news channel Al-Jazeera, according to Malaysiakini.

Use 'Tuhan', Not 'Allah' For BM Bible, Says PAS

Recently, one issue has raised considerable controversy between the readers. This is the issue of whether to use the word "Allah" or the word "God" when Muslims are speaking about God. Invariably, there seems to be someone who feels offended when the word "God" is used to speak about God.

It is surprising to notice that many Muslims do not realise that the word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for the word "God". Many of them believe that "Allah" is the actual name of the Muslim God! They do not realise that it is wrong to "personalise" God as He is not a person. God is much greater than to be confined to a single name (see: Greatness of God).

Neither do they realise that the word "Allah" does not belong exclusively to the Muslims and that it has always been used before (and after) the revelation of the Quran by the Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians when they speak about God.

If this site was in Arabic, then the word "Allah" would have been used, but as it is in English, then the word "God" is used. This does not mean that we are speaking of a different god. There is only One God.

Insisting on the use of the word "Allah" which is the Arabic word for "God" immediately creates the illusion that "Allah" is a totally different God than God of the whole world. It creates a god that belongs only to the Muslims, and this would tarnish the universality of Islam.

As a result, those who for some reason changed these titles (Rahmaan, Raheem … etc) from being names of God into being merely attributes are clearly violating the Quran.

Moreover, those who insist that "Allah" is the personal name of God are somewhat short on Quranic knowledge. Let us read the following verse:

"Say, "Call Him Allah, or call Him the Rahman (The Almighty); whichever name you use, to Him belongs the "Asma al-Husna" (most beautiful names)." 17:110

“God is revealed in two modes: in an ontological modes that is , theexistence of all the phenomena and in a cognitive mode that is Heimplants the knowledge in human beings.The Divinity is the property of the Essence and through this property theEssence (Dzat Allah) brings the world into existence . So, God in relation to the universe called Himself Allah, while in respect to Himself is the Essence.Just as the spirit (ruh) governs and direct the body , so God governs anddirects the Cosmos. Since we know the spirit through the body, we know God through the world“

Buddha Amitabha is a Buddha within one's self-nature. His world also appears in one's mind. Everything essentially is a reflection of and cannot be separated from one's true nature. :p

By the way, what do God, Tuhan and Allah got to do with Buddhism? Where does Amitabha Buddha fit into the picture in this posting? Though the information provided is useful for a better understanding of the Islamic Faith, this site is still a Forum for the discussion, promotion and to provide information on Buddhism for believers.

I hope you understand we do not want to see the site being diluted with information that have no relevant to Buddhism as it may eventually reduced the site to irrelevant for the intended purposes it is originally meant for.
