Almost all the major religious scriptures of the world contain the word "Allah" as one of the
names of God.
Elohim El, Elah, Alah
In the Bible, God is very often referred to as ‘Elohim’ in the Hebrew language. The ‘im’ in the
ending is a plural of honour and God is referred to as ‘El’ or ‘Elah’ in the English Bible with
commentary, edited by reverend C. I. Scofield. ‘Elah’ is alternatively spelled as ‘Alah’. The
difference in spelling is only of a single ‘L’. Muslims spell Allah as ‘Allah’ while the Reverend has
spelled it as Alah and they pronounce it as ‘Elah’. Muslims pronounce it as Allah. Hebrew and
Arabic are sister languages therefore we say it should be pronounced as ‘Allah’ and not as
‘Elah’.
