The document discusses the word Allah and the Quran. It states that Allah has been used by Arabic speakers of different religions to refer to God. In Islam specifically, Allah is considered the one and only deity. The Quran is believed by Muslims to be the word of God as revealed to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over 23 years. It is regarded as the most important miracle of Muhammad and considered the culmination of divine messages. Several of Muhammad's companions served as scribes to write down the Quranic revelations.
2. • The word Allah has been used by Arabic people
of different religions since pre-Islamic times.
More specifically, it has been used as a term for
God by Muslims (both Arab and non-Arab) and
Arab Christians. It is also often, albeit not
exclusively, used in this way by Bábists, Bahá'ís,
Mandaeans, Indonesian and Maltese Christians,
and Mizrahi Jews. Similar usage by Christians and
Sikhs in West Malaysia has recently led to
political and legal controversies.
3. • In Islam, Allah is the unique, omnipotent and
only deity and creator of the universe and is
equivalent to God in other Abrahamic
religions. In Islamic tradition, there are 99
Names of God . Most Muslims use the
translated Arabic phrase in shā’ Allāh
(meaning 'if God wills') after references to
future events.
4. The book of Allah(quran)
• Muslims believe that the Quran was verbally revealed
by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel
(Jibril), gradually over a period of approximately 23
years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when
Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of
his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the most
important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his
prophethood,and the culmination of a series of divine
messages that started with the messages revealed to
Adam and ended with Muhammad. The word "Quran"
occurs some 70 times in the text of the Quran,
although different names and words are also said to be
references to the Quran.
5. • According to the traditional narrative, several
companions of Muhammad served as scribes and
were responsible for writing down the
revelations. Because the Quran is spoken in
classical Arabic, many of the later converts to
Islam (mostly non-Arabs) did not always
understand the Quranic Arabic, they did not catch
allusions that were clear to early Muslims fluent
in Arabic and they were concerned with
reconciling apparent conflict of themes in the
Quran.
