Allah or God ?

As-Salamou 'Alaykoum wa rahmatoullahi wa barakatouhou

Because I am both Arabic and French speaker, when I am talking about The Almighty, I don’t know if I have to use Allah or God.

As Muslims, it’s the same for us: He is the Unique.

However, when some of non Muslims refer to Allah, they think that He isn’t the god of the Christians or the Jewish, but another God, invented by Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم (Astaghforallah).

So, as for this point of view, it’s important to refer to God (in English), Dieu (in French) or Dios (in Spanish).

Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the Most Gracious: by whichever name you invoke Him,He is always the One -- for His are all the attributes of perfection."Al Isra 17:110

. Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: 'To God belongs 99 names, 100 minus 1, anyone who memorizes them will enter Paradise; He (God) is odd (odd number, he is the Only One), and He loves odd numbers

On the other hand, when we talk about Allah, there is obviously a connection to Islam. And one of the most beautiful names of God is Allah. The Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, and when it is transalated it inevitably loses some important meanings.So referring to Allah gives a direct connection to the Holly Book.

As far as I am concerned, I feel more comfortable by using God when I am not talking in Arabic.

Finally, the most important thing is to believe that there is only one Creator.

What about you? I would be pleased to share your points of view about using one or the other term.

May God/Allah bless you
Imane.
