The Meaning of the
Name ‘Allah’
The word Allah means “the Being
Who comprises all the attributes of perfection”, the Being Who possesses the
best and the noblest qualities imaginable in the highest degree. This is
supported by the Quran:
“His are the best (or most beautiful) names.” (17:110; 20:8; and 7:180)
Allah is a proper name, not derived
from anything and the Al is inseparable from it. The word al-ilah
(the god) is a different word.
The word Allah is unique and it is the Name which refers to the Being Himself as His personal name.
