The Meaning of the Name ‘Allah’
The word Allah means “the Being Who comprises all the attributes of perfection”, the Being Who possesses the best and the noblest qualities imaginable in the highest degree. This is supported by the Qur'an:
“His are the best (or most beautiful) names.”(17:110; 20:8; and 7:180)
Allah is a proper name, not derived from anything and the Al is inseparable from it. The word al-ilah (the god) is a different word.
The word Allah is unique and it is the Name which refers to the Being Himself as His personal name.
