Etymologically, the name Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic al-Ilāh, “the God. The name’s origin can be traced to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for god was il, el, or eloah, the latter two used in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).Ilāh (Arabic: إله; plural: آلهة ʾālihat) is an Arabic term meaning god. In Arabic, ilah refers to anyone or anything that is worshipped. The feminine is ʾilāhat (إلاهة, meaning goddess); with the article, it appears as al-ʾilāhat (الإلاهة).
