Why Do Muslims Call Allah by the Arabic Name Allah instead of the English word God? – Dr Zakir Naik

COG-11

And we Muslims we prefer calling Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) by the Arabic world Allah instead of the English word God. People ask the question why do you call him Allah, the reason we call Allah by the Arabic word Allah instead of the English word God is because a person can play mischief with the English word God. For example if you add ‘s’ to God, it becomes ‘Gods’, plural of ‘God.’ There is nothing like plural Allah, “Qul Huwallaahu Ahad”, “Say he is Allah one and only.” If you add ‘dess’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘Goddess’, meaning a female God, there is nothing like male Allah or female Allah. Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) is unique, he has got no gender. The moment you add father to ‘God’, it becomes ‘Godfather’. He is my ‘Godfather’, he is my guardian, there is nothing like Allah father or Allah Abba in Islam. If you add a mother to God, it becomes God mother. There is nothing like Allah mother or Allah Ammi in Islam. Allah is a unique word. If you prefix a ‘Tin’ before God, it becomes Tin God meaning a fake God, there’s nothing like Tin Allah in Islam That’s the reason we Muslims, we prefer calling Allah by the Arabic word Allah instead of the English word God. But when the Muslims are speaking to the non Muslims, who may not understand the concept of Allah and when they use this word God instead of Allah I have got no objection. But I would like to remind them that God is not the appropriate translation of the Arabic word Allah. But when we speak to on Muslims and we use this word I’ve got no objection.
