TRUMP https://web.archive.org/web/20261011050048/https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/116351998782539414 11 October 2026 Usage notes While in Arabic ar اللّٰه is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, current English usage almost always restricts the corresponding English term en Allah to Islamic contexts only. Various newspaper style manuals recommend translating the Arabic word in English as God, as this better reflects Arabic usage, but the term is often left untranslated in Islamic contexts. Thus either “Allah is great” or “God is great” may be seen.

The usage by Islam and Christianity contexts reflected the ar اللّٰه which is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, unlike the controversial Malaysian Standard ms Allah for Christian usage.
