I have been meaning to ask what the hausas call God in their language
Don't tell me Allah cus that's what the Muslim call God
Same way the christians call God Jehovah
But in different languages they have different name like in the Igbo language God is called Chukwu
In Yoruba God is called Oluwa please I don't know Yoruba ooh so may be that may not be what you guys call God

But in HAUSA I don't really know what God is called on their language
Please hausas in the house help me out

Ubangiji

Dead Muhammad

Right I searched online and I saw same thing
But most hausas don't even mention the name

muyico:

olorun is GOD!

sorry
That's why I said I didn't know Yoruba to well
Thanks for the correction

Ubangiji
Based on how it's used, you could translate it to Lord god, but it's usually always used as 'Ubangiji Allah' very rarely does someone just use Ubangiji alone.

Uba means father, I suspect Giji was a pre-islamic deity.
Cause the word literally translates to 'Father of Giji'
Very little is information is available on native Hausa beliefs and gods, most of it was destroyed or suppressed with the conversation to Islam.

Muslim have tried to distance themselves from using the word because of it's possible pegan or animist origin, in favor of Allah alone.
The word is mostly used by Christian or traditional Northerners.

The name YHWH was given by God, not to Christians but to those of His Old Covenant Law of Moses.

Just as Jesus Christ is God over Christians - the Name given to His New Covenant Law in the Kingdom of God aka the Gospel - so also is YHWH God over those who are under His Old Covenant Law of Moses , the National Constitution given by God to the Nation of Israel in the Kingdom of Canaan.
