Alah, Allah, A-Lah, Aliha, Alay
Noun
Name of the Arabic or Islamic God.

Etymology:  From a primitive ancient semitic root alah developing in Arabic to Allah, Aliha, Alay. Thought to be the equivilent of the Hebrew God Elohim.  Translated by some as El-yah (the god who ascends, the god who is mighty). The name Allah was never used in the Old Testament as a name for God.  The god Allah was worshiped among the pantheon of pagan deities in Arabia.  His name appears in the name of Mohammed's father "Abdullah", with "lah" being an abbreviation of Allah, the last three letters.

Origin:

According to Jewish sources, the word "alah" in the Hebrew language means "to ascend."  Alah is found in the Hebrew Bible 688 times and translated a number of ways: "went up" [Gen 2:6]; "arose" [Gen 19:15]; and "ascend" [Isa 14:13].  There is only one text of scripture in which "alah" is used that comes near describing a god and that is Isaiah 14:13.  In this text Lucifer, the great satan, claims he will "alah" [ascend] into heaven and replace God. This boast by the great satan is believed by many Christians to be the origin of the use of the name Allah for a god.

Prior to Mohammed's conversion to the Jewish religion from which he fashioned his new religion of Islam, the god "Allah" among the pagan Arabs of Arabia was the highest or the mighty god.  Since this god was the family god of Mohammed's father, it is no mystery why then Allah became the mighty god of Islam. 

Purpose:

If indeed the great satan made his boast to be "Alah" in Isaiah 14:13, and if indeed, he has impregnated over a billion people upon the earth to shout his name, then Lucifer has indeed become a mighty god for a billion people upon the earth.  The Qur'an would by implication be the Bible of Lucifer as written or dictated by Mohammed.

Contradictions with Jewish and Christian Bible:

No where in the Jewish Bible or the Christian Bible is the name Alah or Allah used for the name of the true God.  The Jews would never mention or pronounce the name of a pagan god (Exo 23:13).  That "Alah, Allah" was deemed to be the name of a pagan god would be indicated by the absence of this name from the Bible.  Jews today do not accept "Alah or Allah" to be the name of God or to be the same God as Elohim.  Most Christians today do not accept "Alah or Allah" to be the name of God or to be the same God as Elohim.  

The meaning of the word Alah or Allah from the more ancient Hebrew language means "to ascend" in one manner or another.  Only in the Kor'an and within Islam does Alah or Allah represent the name of a God. The question for Jews and Christians is whether or not they will ever accept "Alah or Allah" as the name of the true God of the Old and New Testaments?
