What infuriates me about this is Why do they wanna use the word Allah for God?
The word for God in Malay/Indoensian is Tuhan… the word God in Arabic is Illah… so why the word Allah?
The characteristics that describe God in Islam as Allah are described in Surah al-Iklas…
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute, Omnipotent;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
God isn’t one is Christianity, Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, we believe in the one-ness of God… despite the fact that they’ll argue God is One to them, their believe in the Holy Trinity goes against the very concept of Allah…
God isn’t omnipotent to the Christians… in Genesis they say god “rested” on the 7th day after the process of creation… doesn’t sound very omnipotent to me… we muslims believe that Allah doesn’t rest, Allah is All-Mighty, why would an All-Mighty being such as Allah need to rest?
Jesus, as described in Christianity, is the son of God… Allah’s characteristic is that he has no parents, nor is he a parent… see the point here? Quite obvious…
Most importantly is that Allah’s features, physically, is beyond our comprehension… we do not know how Allah looks like, BUT, the Christians say that we humans are created in the image of God…

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. and if you would know god be not therefore a solver of riddles. rather look about you and you shall see him playing with your children and smiling in flowers then rising and waving his hands in trees. (Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet)
