"ALLAH"

There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût and believes in Allâh, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower. Al- Baqarah

So,finally the High Court has ruled that it is okay for Christians to use the word "Allah" in their churches. I was rather disappointed - not with the Courts ruling, but with the attitude of the present day Christian leadership. I think Christians are just provoking the Muslims. The Muslims attitude is- Live and let be. But the Christian seems to be encroching on Muslim ground.
The other distressing side is this. The Muslims leaders who opposed the use of the word, "Allah" by non- Muslims, were all related to financial and sex scandals at one time or the other.It's no point trying to appear godly when the personal record is tainted with colourful what nots.

My personal feelings are this- its very easy to be discussing the uniqueness of God's name. Lets take for example- Islam means submission to God. A Muslim is someone who believes the Quran to be the final revelation of God (After the Torah and the Injil) and Muhammad( pbuh)as the Apostle of Allah. Those who want to call God " Allah"- do you believe this? If not, then I suggest, don't use it. Further , Islam means submission to God- have you surrended you self to Allah? Its very easy to use His name- but have you surrendered yourself to him?? So-Non- Muslims- cut the easy talk and examine yourself!
