The book "Al Quran" is a transcript of Allah's Kalam (speech), which, according to Al Ajurrumiyya, foundation for classical arabic learning, the words can be divided into three categories: ismun (noun plus adjective), f'ilun (verb), and harf (particle). Therefore, all words in the book Quran, including the word "Allah," must fall into one of these three categories. The book Quran described the word Allah as the Rabb / Lord (sustainer, cherisher, support and structure, of the aalamin, all knowledge based on truth). Allah is the fundamental absolute reality of being. His being is unique with no comparison and He is indivisible. His oneness encompass all reality.
Let us examine the letters and diacritical marks present in the word "Allah." From the information above, it becomes evident that the word "Allah" consists of four letters: alif, lam, lam, and ha. Additionally, there are two diacritical marks: a shaddah and an alif khanjariyah, commonly referred to as a dagger alif. The shaddah indicates the presence of another lam. A shaddah effectively represents the repetition of a consonant, implying a heightened emphasis or tashdid. As for the alif khanjariyah, a vertical stroke positioned above the shaddah signifies a double harakah /a/ sound, wherein the alif is not fully written but instead takes the form of a dagger alif.
Taking into account the shaddah and alif khanjariyah, the word "Allah" actually consists of six letters: alif, lam, lam, alif, lam, ha. The initial two letters, alif lam, serve as a definite article : a particle (harf) whose function is to render a prefixed definite referring to something uniquely specified. Remove these first two letters, and you're left with lam, alif, lam, ha, or the particles "la" and "lahu," both of which can be categorized as "harf," conveying the meaning "no-thing to Him. "The phrase "no-thing to Him" finds its explanation in Surah Ash-Shura (42:11), which states "laisa kamithlihi shay'un," signifying that there is nothing whatsoever comparable to Him and surah Al Ikhlas (112.2) states that Allah is the only recourse that everything else turn to. Allah transcends all names, words, sounds, labels, images, concepts, descriptions, and belief systems. He exists beyond the confines of the human mind's consciousness.
This narrative is formulated from the observation of the following verses of the book Al Quran below.
42.11 (From HQ 42:10, Allah who is my Rabb / Lord, to Him I rely and to Him I turn to) Faathira / Originator of as-samaawat / the higher consciousness and al-ardh / the lower consciousness, He made for you from your anfus / soul azwaajan / a pair (zakara / independent thoughts that are constructed by intellect and unsa / thoughts constructed by knowledge accumulated from the senses) and from al an'aam / the pleasant thoughts (bestowed by Allah), azwaajan / a pair (zakara and unsa) your variegation in it; there is no-thing (at all) like the likeness of Him; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
112.2 “Allah, the samad / the only recourse to turn to,”
112:4 And there is ahadun / none (a no-thing) comparable unto Him
38.5 “Has he made the aalihata / realities into one irreducible ilaahan / reality? This is indeed a strange thing!”
