Word for God in Bible and Qur’an Kareem

Word for God in Bible and Qur’an

In Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus, the word for God is Elah (or Alaha in Syriac, a later form of Aramaic). These words are related to the Hebrew word “Elohim” and the Arabic word “Allah,” all stemming from a root meaning “god” or “divine”.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Elah (ܐܠܗ):
This is the Aramaic word for God, used in the Old Testament in books like Daniel and Ezra.
Alaha (ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ):
This is the Syriac form of the word, also meaning “God”.
Elohim (אֱלֹהִים):
This is the Hebrew word for God, often used in the plural form but also sometimes referring to a single deity.

Allah (الله):
This is the Arabic word for God, and it is closely related to the Aramaic and Hebrew terms.
While “Allah” is the common term for God in Islam, the word itself has roots in Aramaic and Hebrew, and is used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews as well. Therefore, while Jesus did not use the word “Allah,” the Aramaic word he used, Elah/Alaha, shares a common root with the Arabic word.

Just for mention – the word Bible – comes from the Greek Word Biblos – meaning Book – as the Testaments were written Stories of what some scholars think happened in the past – more like history books from different perspectives – that’s why they have some truth and lots of falsehood because they are Not the Original Revelation left from Moses (Torah), Psalms of David (Zabur) or Gospel (Preaching of Jesus) – only Quran Kareem is the only unchanged Word of God today;
