Kalimah Allah. Move along now...

The verdict is out. But there are still objections. That’s not surprising. 

On this issue of kalimah Allah, it is about not allowing the usage of Allah in the Malaysian edition bible right? For the Christians in Malaysia to not refer their God as, right? Because if it is merely about giving permission to a non-muslim to use it verbally, then it should not be a problem at all. Tak perlu keluarkan fatwa. I agree to that. Even my chinese lecturer likes using Insya-Allah, and I like hearing it from him too.

Anyway, this is my take on the issue itself. More like questions.

The bible was NOT originally written in Arab unlike the Quran. So why do they need to use a translated word (in Arab) for a translated version of the bible? Allah is mentioned and can be clearly found many times in the Quran. Is it true the word Allah can also be found in the untranslated Bible as well? Or did they actually use Eli or Eloi or Elaha? 

So why not use those words of the actual language of the bible then (Hebrew & Aramaic). If it was written in Aramaic then use the Aramaic word for God then. Wouldn't it be better so that the significance of the original language is not receded? I believe that the bible also encourages its readers to preserve the original texts even in translated versions.

To me, this issue is being manipulated by certain people who actually have no deal whatsoever with the case. Saja nak menyibuk. Jadi batu api. Suddenly, from an issue of faith and religion, it becomes an issue of freedom of expression and all those murican drabbles. -_-"

This guy explains the situation in detail. About the Uluhiyah and Rububiyah concept. But it's in Malay though...

The verdict is out. Let’s move on. We have bigger and more severe issues to deal with. Like why do I even need to buy parking coupons from a shop 2580cm away to park in front of Imigresen Port Klang? Where’s the b%##dy parking meter??
