We muslims prefer calling Allah,instead of the English word 'God'.The arabic word Allah is pure and unique,unlike the english word 'God'.
If you add 's' or 'ess' to the word God, it can give different meaning.But Allah is a unique word no letter can be added to it. Allah is one and singular,there is no plural of Allah.Therefore the Muslims prefer saying 'Allah'.
But sometimes while speaking to non-muslims we have to use the inappropriate english word 'God' for the word 'Allah'.
Re: The arabic word Allah is pure and unique,unlike the english word 'God'.
i understand why you prefer the arabic.
but some people say it's forbidden to say "khuda" as in "khuda hafiz"
(khuda is farsi for god and is widely used among pakistanis and indians.)
why is it forbidden?
each man thinks of his own fleas as gazelles
question authority
