Monotheism

[Sevivon1913]

Muslims adhere correctly to Torah monotheism requirements (they worship the same God as Jews):

"Say: He is Allah*, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him. "

- Surah Al-Ikhlas (112)

*Al-Ilah, The God

I agree we Muslims worship the same God as Jews :thumb:

[Tladatsi]

One of God's many names is

El elyown ( NWYL( L) ), God most high or God on high.

The adj elyown comes from the root word Alah, to go up, to ascend, to climb.

A great surah :)

linguistically, Allah (God) is a bit different than Al-Ilah (the god), though the relationship is worth noting.

Ilah as a noun can be masculine or feminine, definite or indefinite ("the" or "a"), whereas Allah is a proper noun and has no gender (so we default to masculine, as semitic tongues lack "neuter" nouns.)

El elyown ( NWYL( L) ), God most high or God on high.

The adj elyown comes from the root word Alah, to go up, to ascend, to climb.

In arabic, the cognate would be 3ala (3 = 'aiyn, the famous arabic guttural consonant), 3Ali (علي) (like the name of the Prophet's cousin, the caliph, or Muhammad Ali) means "the exalted", Al-'Ali is one of the 99 names of G-d (in islamic tradition)

Often muslims will mention Allah as "Allah (subhanahu wa ta3ala)" which means "God (glorious is He; and may He be exalted)", ta3ala means to cause something to 3ala, i.e. to be raised up high.
