Dear Editor,I am a Christian from the Middle East, and I would like to comment on the issue of the 15,000 Bibles detained because they contain the word ‘Allah’.
That word ‘Alah’ or ‘Allah’ has the same meaning in other languages as: God, Dieu (French) etc, but my point is: We the Christians in the Middle East have been using Word Allah in our Arabic language before even the rise of Islam 1400 years back, and we’ve been around since Lord Jesus’ period.
So kindly ‘Mr Malay Authority’, have some knowledge before issuing a false statement.

Dear Nong or whoever knowledgeable: If you truly believe that your "Sacred Book which is the FIRST AND FOREMOST and ORIGINAL," as you yourself have stated, then you must state a factual answer to my historically-ba
sed factual question: What was the name for 'God' or 'Allah' in the two ancient manuscripts, namely the Old Testament and the New Testament as first discovered or found by scriptural scholars and archeological researchers?
Please state your factual answer here or to my email address: MohammadAriffSaidin@hotmail.com

words are important, but, after all, they are only words.
Sometimes we need a word but have to be content with something the like of it.
No reason for waging wars.

Hello Encik Ahmad and Encik Ashraf,
Of course, you Muslims and we Cristians will never have the same understanding about the truest ONE ALLAH. Our gap differences concerning your Al-Qur'an and our Alkitab and all its messages are like the gap between the earth and the sky!!! You cannot employ your Al-Qur'an's standard to understand, let alone compare with our Alkitab's standard!!! Yes, in your Al-Qur'an there are many mentioning of Old Testament Figures like Ibrahim, Musa, Daud, Isa, BUT they are totally different from our Sacred Book which is the FIRST AND FOREMOST and ORIGINAL, whilst yours are just a DUPLICATE from oldest christian murtad with many DEVIATION...you two understand or NOT???
So, don't compare-lah.... wasting out precious times...All you questions are forever irrelevant, PERIOD.
Borneoman!!!

How many Muslims read this website? It would have been better if you had also sent a copy to the local Malaysian newspapers. But knowing what you're saying above, they wouldnt print it. How sad it is to know that the Muslims in Malaysia are so backwards.

I'm writing in after reading Mr. Mattar Rabie's statement on the topic.
As as Muslim, i would like to thank Mr. Mattar Rabie in confirming that the god of our worlds is Allah S.W.T and not another person or human claiming to be god.
It is also good to note that he's been around since prophet Isa (Jesus) P.B.U.H - in which Mr. Mattar Rabie could clarify what prophet Isa (Jesus) P.B.U.H was really saying at that time, though i know what he meant.
Not to incur anger, but i just want to ask this question - why now? - why wait for 2000 years to affirm what Muslims have been believing in since the beginning of time - that there is only one god & that is Allah and all His prophets (including Isa/Jesus) are His messengers?
Will the editors, writers & contributors in Herald start replacing the name of god in their belief with "Allah"?
If yes, does this means replacing Jesus with Allah?
In all sincerity of faith towards god (in my case Allah), can you please answer my question?

Mr Mattar,
I'm a Muslim from Malaysia, for 28 years. My faith is, Jesus is merely a normal man like me, he is not a God. But he is so special, appointed merely as God's Mesengger & Prophet. To me, Jesus is a man, not God. So, is Jesus from my point of view is similar with "Jesus" from your point of view? Likewise, "Allah" in your point of view is the holy spirit/ Father God, but "Allah" from my point of view, has no son, no Mary, not a father. My point is, your terminolgy "Alah" and my "terminology "Allah" are totally different. May Allah, the true and only God and Creator enlighthen us,and save us from all this fakeness and deceit planned by iblis/lucifer, amin.

The muslims itself do not understand what does muslim mean. This is a great blunder to them. In the Quran stated that God sent down the scripture in Arabic language. Therefore all the words is in arabic language not for the muslim. The word muslim (submitter) are those who submit to God alone in Islam (Submission). The problem with them are because they are ignorant from the messages of God, therefore their brian, eyesight and hearing are being sealed from understanding it. This is the reason they themselve are in chaos now and then and might be forever. Religion of God came down through Abraham, Moses, Jesus and lastly Muhammad. All of them are the same root in preaching God religion. If they don't change their mindset, they themselves will face the consequence of of the chaos they face.
