Everybody is Gotta Learn Sometimes

[nurmuhammed]

Your connection with God sounds good. If it works for you then take from Al Quran and recite it in your salat. For example; if you read something in Al Quran that you like, then say it in your salat.

Islamic claim:

'Allah' is simply the Arab word for 'God.'

Reality:

'God' in Arabic is translated 'ilah,' not 'Allah.'


Allah = الله (alif ا, lam ل, lam ل, ha ه)

ilah = اله (alif ا, lam ل, ha ه)
Islamic claim:

'Akbar' means 'great.'

Reality:

'Akbar' in English is translated 'greater,' not 'great.'


كبير (kebir) = Great

أكبر (Akbar) = Greater

'Allah' is not simply the Arabic word for 'God,' but the name of Islam's chosen deity and 'Akbar' does not mean 'great,' but 'greater.' Greater than what? The answer is - Allah is greater...than whatever god you happen to believe in.
As far as I am aware there is no action in Al Quran that speaks of doing salam to the angels.
Hope this helps.
Peace

thank you,

Peace be with you as well,

actually the commandment of "magnifying God" would not be so much as to commemorate God name "allahu alkabir", but it is to make him greater

The word "akbar" is used in 6:78 to dignify a meaning of being greater.
Thus we could use the phrase "allahu Akbar"

Good for you... as language doesn't matter..

then tell me how translated ALLAH in english?

Yes it's very important... otherwise your prayer will be sent towards a wrong deity...
But in order to be precise, we need to know what language do they use "In Heaven"... and translate"Allah" to that language..


Salam / Peace

2:177 Righteousness is not to turn your faces towards the east and the west, but righteousness is one who acknowledges God and the Last Day, and the angels, and the book, and the prophets, and he gives money out of love to the near relatives, and the orphans, and the needy and the wayfarer, and those who ask, and to free the slaves, and he observes the Contact prayer, and contributes towards betterment; and those who keep their pledges when they make a pledge, and those who are patient in the face of good and bad and during persecution. These are the ones who have been truthful, and they are the upright.
