Gibbs, you got a point here. Does your wife know the Arabic word for gods (plural) for example when talking about the pagans who lived in Mecca at the time of the Prophet?

Well she speaks fluent Arabic so I assume so, but I fear before I respond to you someone may have answered.

Can you ask her? And share this with me. I tried Google Translate

gods =الآلهة
God =
الله
Allah=
الله

So it must be
some different word.

Sorry Matt will ask her. She's been very busy and the thought of asking her escapes memory. I'm having lunch with her today so I'll ask her.

I asked a friend who speaks Arabic and he said any god of pagans or polytheists is pronounced as " elah " and in plurals "aalayha". And these words are open to any material/animal form or male or female sex allotments of choice!
While allah doesn't have any such allowance as stated in the sign of absolute unity(sura Ikhlas).
