Proper noun

 * 1) God, in Islamic or Arabic contexts
 * What is the Shia Islamic view on the attributes of Allah?
 * What is the Shia Islamic view on the attributes of Allah?

Usage notes
While in Arabic is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, current English usage almost always restricts the corresponding English term  to Islamic contexts only. Various newspaper style manuals recommend translating the Arabic word in English as God, as this better reflects Arabic usage, but the term is often left untranslated in Islamic contexts. Thus either “Allah is great” or “God is great” may be seen.

Usage notes
In Indonesian translations of the Bible, is translated into Allah instead of  in contradiction with Indonesian Islamic terminology. The usage by Islam and Christianity contexts reflected the 🇨🇬 which is used generically to refer to God in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts, unlike the controversial Malaysian Standard 🇨🇬 for Christian usage.

Etymology

Usage notes
Although Malaysian Christians have fought for the right to use "Allah" to refer to God in Christian contexts, citing its use by Arab Christians as a precedent, the Malaysian courts have ruled that using "Allah" outside Islamic contexts is illegal.

Usage notes
When viewed as a proper noun – the predominant Islamic view – the orthographic rules require writing the oblique cases of the word with an apostrophe before the case suffix. When viewed as a common noun, spelt almost unanimously with a capital “A” out of respect, no apostrophe should be inserted.
