>> Arabic, like Hebrew before it, is a Semitic language. In Hebrew, el, was the word for god - lower case g - as in idols. Elohiym was used with the article to convey God with a capital G. In Arabic, el became il. Then, over time, Arabs derived a secondary word for god, ilah. With al being the Arabic word for the, Muslims would have us believe that Allah is a contraction of al and ilah. But the first pillar of Islam contradicts this claim when it says: There is no ilah but Allah. If Allah were the Arabic word for god it would have been written: There is no allah but Allah. <<
Very unconvincing argument. “There is no god but God” actually makes loads of sense. Likewise, “there is no allah but Allah” makes sense.
Sure it makes sense
allah = il ilah
Allah = Allah
