KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 28 ― Non-Muslims should drop their demand to use “Allah” for their gods as the Arabic word is fundamental to Islamic belief and therefore exclusive to Muslims, National Fatwa Council former chairman Datuk Dr Ismail Ibrahim was reported saying in a Malay daily.
Ismail was weighing in on the latest debate over the Arabic word for god, in a row between Islamist opposition party PAS and its secular ally, DAP, which appears to be a hot-button topic in the run-up to national polls due soon.
“Enough is enough, enough with all the other policies, including the ones enshrined in the Constitution that has been claimed for equality, to be granted equal rights… therefore the right to recognise the concept of the divinity in this religion, don’t grab, challenge and manipulate so. The name ‘Allah’ is still something basic and fundamental to Islam.
“The name ‘Allah’, from a philosophical point, its definition and concept is not equal with the name Tuhan, God, Lord and so on in the usage of other religions,” he was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian in its front-page report today.HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THAT LAST POINT;
ALLAH AND THE GOD OF THE BIBLE ARE TWO DIFFERENT BEINGS ENTIRELY.
I'M GLAD WE GOT THAT STRAIGHT.
REMEMBER THAT, IN THE FUTURE, WHEN MUSLIMS ATTEMPT TO TELL YOU THEY BELIEVE IN THE SAME GOD AS CHRISTIANS AND JEWS.
THEY DO NOT.
