replies: text: I don't think so.  The definite article always loses its vowel when in the middle of a sentence and followed by a word ending in a vowel, but the written 'alif letter remains.  In بسم الله , the 'alif of ism disappears (very unusually), but the 'alif of Allah remains (as always)... AnonMoos (talk) 16:49, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  His name was definitely was spelled عبد الإله - if you google search him you'll see that's how he always comes up.  Just an unusual name. Mccapra (talk) 17:09, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

message: I feel the "Notes" section should become the "References" section.  Then rename the "Notes" to "Bibliography" section for the books sourced and references. Adamdaley (talk) 11:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's okay to put the citations under a "Notes" heading and the books utilised under "References" (or "Bibliography"). The two main things I think are that Churchill is listed under References and appears not to be cited and therefore should be under a "Further reading" heading until or unless it is cited, plus the "External references" appear to be the sources cited under Notes, and should be transferred there. I can take care of that... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:43, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

message: In his book Closet Queens, about gay 20th century British politicians, historian and biographer Michael Bloch mentions Abd al-Ilah (whom he calls Prince Abdulilah) on pages 157 as being homosexual and a close friend of Alan Lennox-Boyd, 1st Viscount Boyd of Merton. Bloch says after al_Ilah was killed, "the revolutionaries discovered intimate letters from Lennox-Boyd among the Prince's papers, which they released to the world's press." Unfortunately he doesn't give any more details and having looked online I can't find any reference of those letters, which would surely be notorious. On page 159, Bloch says that Lennox-Boyd and Henry Channon organised a memorial service for their friend, the Prince, in 1958.
