Can I Call Allah "Yahweh?" | Dr. Shabir Ally
Dr. Shabir Ally addresses a viewer's question about whether it is appropriate to call Allah "Yahweh", and if Allah of the Quran is the same as Yahweh of the Bible. Dr. Shabir explains that while Muslims commonly refer to God as Allah in Arabic, they can also use other names that are appropriate for God. The Quran acknowledges many beautiful names for God, and Muslims often recite these names. The term "Allah" specifically identifies the God of the heavens and the earth, the God of the Bible, and the God of the Quran. The term "Ilah," which means "God" in Arabic, is also used in the Quran.
The term "Yahweh" is a Hebrew word found in the Bible, used predominantly to refer to God. It appears about 6,000 times in the Bible and holds a similar significance as "Allah" does in Arabic. Other terms like "El" and "Elohiym" in the Bible can refer to other gods, but "Yahweh" is primarily used to denote the one true God.
Dr. Shabir discusses the origins of the term "Yahweh," referencing the biblical story in Exodus where God tells Moses, "I am what I am," which scholars interpret to mean "He is" or "The one who exists." This interpretation leads to the construction of the name "Yahweh." Despite the name being assembled by scholars rather than directly revealed, it permeates both the Old and New Testaments.
Dr. Shabir concludes that it is acceptable for Muslims to refer to God as Yahweh when conversing with non-Muslims to emphasize that they are speaking about the same one God worshipped by Moses, Jesus, and Abraham. This can help clarify that Muslims, Jews, and Christians all worship the same God.
