[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 87697, member: 35"] Aku ji, Sat Sri Adkaal! And many thanks to you Brother for bringing a reasoned perspective and information that has helped me understand the discussion much better. :-) When researching the topic of this thread it became apparent to me from sources I read that your comments as follows are true [COLOR=DarkGreen]" The first thing we must all understand is that the term "Allah" is not just a name but rather a word in Arabic. The common noun for "God" is "illah", it has a plural "illihe" meaning "Gods". However the word "Allah" is a PROPER noun and has no plural, gender or variations and means "The God". So the whole concept in Islam is that God is God of all creatures irrespective of any factors (religion, gender, sexuality, form, shape or size - incorporating plants, planets, humans, etc). So in that sense we can see that when a person of any faith calls upon God, no matter what name they use, they are actually calling to "The God" or "Allah". In that repsect your statement would be correct. A perfect example of this can be seen in the middle east where Christians call upon God as "Allah", they do not say "oh thats the Muslim god" but it is well known that Allah means "The God".[/COLOR] " (Quoted from Aku ji) This appeared in more than one source that I read. It may also be that when "Allah" is named in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, that the Gurus were speaking of God in the sense that you have described above, the name of God. For example, [SIZE=1][COLOR=Purple]Ėko alhu pārbarahm. ||5||34||45||[/COLOR][/SIZE] Your point regarding [I]God in His Creatio[/I]n being a Sikh view but not an Islamic view also sounds correct to me. [COLOR=DarkGreen]"Best to my knowledge in the Sikh belief God and Creation are one part of the same. However this is untrue in Islam, where creation is not "part" of the creator but has been created seperately for a purpose.
