TITLE: Can We Use Allah in the Bible? - A Quranic Perspective

AUTHOR: Anas Zubedy

PUBLISHER: Zubedy (M) Sdn Bhd

RATING: 3/5

WHEN one talks about God, there is always a religious sen­sitivity that comes along with the term. However, this book explores the notion of using the term 'Allah' within the Bible and how it is ultimately the best term to refer to God.

Many strongly religious Muslims may not agree with the use of the term within any other religious books. However, Zubedy takes into consideration all various reasons which support the use of 'Allah' in describing God.

Not only taking readers on a journey to understand the various religions and races in Malaysia, the writer also explains the essence of Islam as a religion and the truth which the Quran speaks of God and Mus­lims.

If you are curious to find out what claims this au­thor makes, read the book with an open mind and be prepared to disagree. As with everything in life, to each his own opinion.

    God does not quarrel but human beings quarrel over usage of word. 'Allah' is an arabic word, it is used in B.M version of bible and Quran, it is used in Sikh scripture if not mistaken, not sure what language is sikh scripture!!

    It is not wrong to use the kalimat ALLAH in the book of other religious faiths. However what we fear most is the misuse of the kalimat to preach other religious teachings which may reach unintended audience - Muslim audience - who's to control this?

    Bible versi Inggeris tuhan mereka tak ada nama pun dan sekarang Keristian Malaysia beri nama Allah kepada Tuhan mereka yg ada anak tu. Ternyata mereka lebih pandai lebih hebat dari Pope Benedict dan mendiang Pope John Paul.

    Cuba rujuk Surah Mariam ayat 88 - 92, Allah sendiri pun murka, dan hebatnya kemurkaan Pencipta tentang hal ini dinyatakan didalam Al Quran sudah lebih 1400 tahun dulu.
