- Muslims prefer using the name “Allah”, which is one of many other beautiful names and it is GodAlmighty’s greatest name, instead of the English word “God”. The word “Allah” is pure and uniqueunlike the English word “God”, which can be used in many forms. If we add ‘s’ to the word “God” itbecomes “Gods”, that is a plural of God. Allah is one and singular, there is no plural of Allah. If we add‘dess’ to the word ‘God’, it becomes ‘Goddess’, that is a female God. There is nothing like male Allah orfemale Allah. (taken from: “The Concept of God in Major Religions”, Dr. Zakir Abdul Kareem, pp 18)(Added by the translator)

- Muslims do not mention the name of Allah without glorification. The letters “S.W” are contractions of the two Arabic words “Sobhanahu Wataala”, which means,
“
Glory to Him! He is high above all
”
(HolyQuran 17:43). The English meaning of these two words is from the “Meaning of the Holy Quran byAbdullah Yusof Ali”. Therefore, in this book I will use the words “Allah (S.W)” when referring to GodAlmighty, except for excerpts and quotations.(Added by the translator)

- Muslims also do not mention the name of a Prophet without honoring him with prayer and invocation.The letters “PBUH” are contractions of the sentence, “Peace Be upon Him” when mentioning a prophet, or“Peace Be upon Her” when mentioning the Pure Virgin Mary, and the letters “PBUT” are contractions of the sentence, “Peace Be upon Them”, when mentioning more than one prophet.
