‘Non-Muslims can’t use Allah’

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS Syura Council has decided that the word “Allah” cannot be used to describe God in any non-Muslim publications.

The council in a written statement issued after a two-hour meeting to discuss the matter said that while the word “Allah” was universal and had been used by pre-Islamic Arabs, it could not be used as the translation for the word “God” from any other language.
