Quick fact: The personal name of Allah, the Almighty, is Allah, which is His proper and exclusive name not derived from any root word.

Explanation

The word "Allah" is the personal and proper name of the Almighty Creator in Islam. Unlike other names such as Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful), Al-Quddus (The Most Holy), and Al-Khaliq (The Creator), which are His attributes (Sifaat), "Allah" is His personal name (Ism-e-Zaat). It is unique, indivisible, and cannot be applied to anyone else. This name encompasses all His divine attributes and is the most frequently used name for God in the Holy Quran.

Good to know

Allah has 99 beautiful names known as Asma-ul-Husna, each describing a different attribute of His perfection. Among these, "Allah" is considered Al-Ism al-A'zam (the Greatest Name). The name "Allah" appears over 2,600 times in the Holy Quran and is used exclusively for the One True God. The declaration of faith (Kalima Tayyaba) begins with "La ilaha illallah," affirming that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.
