Alláh
___________________
Pronunciation: al-láh
___________________
[Ar] God. Originally the name by which Muḥammad designated the one God.
[BD 15]
___________________
God. The most prevalent explanation of this word, given in such works as the Shorter Encyclopedia of Islam, is that the pre-Islamic Arabs worshipped as head of their pantheon a god called Alláh, meaning the iláh, or the god. Muḥammad taught: "There is no iláh save the iláh," "Lá iláhá illa'lláh," Allah being thus a combination of the particle "the" (al) and iláh.
[BG 7]
___________________
Allāh in other languages that use Arabic script ( الله‎ ) is spelled in the same way. This includes Urdu, Persian/Dari, Uyghur among others.
