O worth e baje . Olorun mani

riddo2: "Allah" is not an arabic word for God. It's "illah" or "llah". Let everyone go and find out..

Pastor AIO:

Yep! I know a verse from Ogbe meji that uses those exact phrases, but I never thought of it as an adjective. I thought Oyigiyigi was the name of the stone. Especially when it says 'We have become Oyigiyigi, we will live forever.' I didn't imagine it was being referred to as an adjective.

Either way it is better translated then as a description of God rather than a Name of God. Oyigiyigi is also something that Human beings can become.

I've heard it explain as something that will not yield or cannot be turned or twisted (hence -yi- in yoruba) while the -gi- sound expresses it's hardness or resilience. Like Igi in wood.

Then again it is a combination of yielding and unyielding (yi and gi). A marriage of opposite characteristics.

Then again it is a combination of yielding and unyielding (yi and gi). A marriage of opposite characteristics.

uplawal: @ALHAJI OLABOWALE, imagine vanity just  said "JESU NI MASIN" ,they even says GOD is Prince of peace,lion of the tribe of judah, and all sorts of blasphemy,anyways av also said it before but thank GOD now i know the most sweetest attributes to give my GOD,LORD OF THE WORLDS,and it amazes me that its only in ISLAM we dnt use another silly,ignorant attributes to GOD such like,LORD OF lords,our own GOD does not recognise any nonesense dirty god to be existing on earth to be raise in high profile except HIM,ALLAHU AKBAR,ALLAHU AKBAR

olabowale: PastorAIO, thanks for wanting the clarification of what the contributors are saying about what God is praised by in Yoruba language. Some of these are purely unIslamic. Examples are the Kiniun awon omo Judahs, Ogbe inu wundia sholas, etc.

We in Islam do not objectify The Almighty by restricting Him as a lion or some animals of some people or lord of some people or using a womb of a virgin as a pad (like in bachelor's pad) for a moment! These are Trinity, and it is strictly Christians. I dont think the babalawos, etc will even stoop that low, since they are usually convinced about their beliefs, knowing their gods, not calling them multi personalities.
