description: The Arabic language possesses a unique language feature, the Allâh Lexicon, a rich and varied body of religious expressions invoking the Almighty. Despite the pervasive presence of Allâh in the Arabic language, this linguistic phenomenon has been largely unexplored. This book investigates the impact of Islam on the Arabic language by examining key cultural concepts, the frequency of the word “God” in Arabic and other languages, and the philisophical and theological foundation of Allah expressions.
