Allah, << AL uh or AH luh, >> is the Arabic word for God or the Supreme Being. The word is used by Muslims as well as Arabic-speaking Christians. The word is a compound of al (the) and ilah (god). It denotes the Supreme Being in the Qur’an, which is the holy book of Islam. Muslims regularly repeat the creed: “There is no god but Allah; and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
