| Dec 30, 2015 at 16:16 | comment | added | Kilise | @Mohamad I agree with you. The word آلِهَةً is mentioned in the Quran several times, and would be the Arabic translation for "gods". The only reason why there are no "plural" words for god in Arabic is more a theological reason. Even though a person uses the word Allah or God, the person has its own understanding on that word he is referring to. Certain muslims could speak about Allah and by that giving "him" (see even the word him is used because of our limited language is forcing us too) attributes hands, feet, eyes, place and so on. We ourself differ on the understanding of the word Allah. | |

| Oct 11, 2012 at 3:23 | comment | added | Muz | It's more of a Muslim culture thing. Christians don't speak Latin, but most Muslims utilize Arabic in daily prayers, and view Arabic as a holy language. Many don't really dare translate it, and the non-native Arabic speakers prefer to use the Arabic form because it makes them sound smarter/holier. | |

| Oct 10, 2012 at 17:38 | comment | added | Abdullah | Now, that you have changed the question, I wonder if it fits Islam.SE. Might be a good fit for Arabic.SE. | |
