Questio. by abt(op): 3:20pm On Dec 14, 2008
Salaam Brothers and sisters,

I have a question,
Is there anything wrong in writing 'God' or 'Allah' wit a small letter G or a small letter A?
Re: Questio. by olabowale(m): 8:26pm On Dec 14, 2008
small g denotes anything and not the proper God Who is identified as the Creator, by those who believe that thre is a Creating God. Allah is the specific name of that God Who is the Creator. Hence this God is atually "The God", the loosely translated meaning of the Arabic word: Allah. Allah is a compound word, therefore, where Al is "The" and illa is "God or generic god" But when you put them together, you will have a specific word for a specific God; Allah (The God Almighty Creator). Is there any other god but The God?

For those who write Allah with lower case "a", it is either that they are ignorant of its evil implications or they intent to display arrogance. Neither should be the property of a muslim, male or female. Write Allah and dont start with lower case leter. And write God without the lower case first letter to specify in your own mind that you are speaking about the Creator. And not just anything that a person may falsely or ignorantly worship.
