The name '''''Allah''''' (الله) is the [[Arabic]] term for the [[God]] of [[Islam]]. This [[theonym]] is likely a contraction of Arabic ''Al-'ilāh'' (ال إِله), which means "the god"<ref>http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/119632</ref>. It is thus related to the Hebrew term [[Eloh(-im)|Elohim]].

In Islam, Allah is the essential personal name of God and comprises all His Beautiful Names (the [[99 Names of God]]). When Allah is said, the One, the Supreme Being, the Creator, the Owner, the Sustainer, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, the All-Encompassing, whose Names and Attributes are manifested in creation, comes to mind. This term also refers to His absolute Oneness as well as His having no internal defect or external partner.
