Assalamoelaikoem warahmatullahi wbarakatuh,
I have problems with people who translate the name
" Allah" into "God", because Allah is not the arabic word for god. The arabic word for god is Illah.
Allah is the name of God who is the only One who has the right to be worshipped.
Illah is something that is worshipped. Allah is worshipped, but there are also other things which are worshipped.
The people in arabia who where polytheists called their gods "Alliha", which is the plural form of "Illah". They had differend names for their gods.
But when this polytheists were asked who is the One who created the Heavens and the earth, they said "Allah".
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَِ
See 29:61
They didn't say it's my "illah" Hubal, or Oza
So this means they knew Allah is the One who created the heavens and the earth, but they worshipped other things next Allah. That's why they are polytheists.
If someone does not understand what i have written, please ask. And also if you want to say iam wrong, you have the right to say this.
