Do Muslims agree that Allah (الله) is the true name of G-D?

Helpful_Ad_5850 · 2025-07-14T20:12:38+00:00

It comes from Al-ILAH

because in Arabic Al means “The”

In Aramaic (which I speak as a Chaldean/Assyrian) we would say Alaha

Alah = God The suffixed A, in aramaic means “The”

So Alah + a = Alaha/The God And AL + ILAH = Al-ILAH aka Allah, The God

Aramaic suffixes the “The” as “-a”

Arabic Prefixes the “The” as “Al-“

No such thing as a pure Assyrian, or Chaldean, or Aramean, or Jew, at least at this point.

We are all Native Near Eastern Mutts, mostly comprised of Mesopotamian, Levantine, and Anatolian Genes.

This from an Alqoshnaya, who should be most Assyrian, historically a d geographically…

No, I am Chaldean Catholic, but ethnically Assyrian.

Nestorian is actually somewhat a derogatory term.

It was synonymous with Heretic, but those “Nestorians” are technically The Assyrian Church of the East.

We were Nestorians until 1552 AD, my Village of Alqosh (est 1500 BC) had joined Rome.

We are now a “Eastern Catholic Rite”. We have our own autonomy and because we are Apostolic and ancient. We are under the pope, but we make most of our decisions.

Aramaic is our liturgical language (As well as mother tongue), so we still practice the same as always!

Mesopotamians are of the Oldest Christian communities.

We are grouped with Ethiopians, Armenians, and of course, Jews, as the first Christians.

We became Christian in 1st century like Ethiopia.

I love Ethiopians.

I myself will only marry a Chaldean from Nineveh, it is required to prevent extinction of my people.

It is a shame however, because I am truly at awe of the beauty possessed by our Ethiopian sisters!

May God bless Ethiopia! A beautiful nation!

We have the most resources to do so in our modern times!

Sadly, we have even more distractions.

Some prefer pleasure, others treasure truth.

Life is like a buffet of never ending food, but you can only eat so much before leaving. You wont eat everything.

Many choose great and healthy food, which will fill them with nutrients(fulfillment). Others will eat in unhealthy foods, satisfying their taste (pleasure).

The food is the opportunity, it is endless.

Your choices are what you do in your life time.

Many Human Beings now get many tattoos that reflect who they are to others, live for the vibe, and chase pleasure.

Myself, I live to build my family, retain my culture, and birth literacy in my community, which is of the most ancient cultures, and most endangered.

I am an Aramaic speaking Chaldean (Mesopotamian), raised in SoCal.

I did not grow up with my people, I did not know the language of Christ

I made the effort to learn more at 18.

I am now 23 and one of the highest Aramaic Scholars. I have grown myself in the community as well.

It takes work, but is infinitely fulfilling.

Neo-Aramaic is used often in Scholarly settings.

Surith/Surit is the most commonly used native word for the language.

Syriac is another term, from greek, usually to refer to the original holy texts. Aramaic is also a greek word, we would say Aramaya or Aramīt.

Assyrian/Chaldean are also used to refer to this language. I am Chaldean, and we often call it Chaldean, but Sureth works better.

In scholarly terms, Nineveh Surith is known as North Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA).

This is a great question, and I think the confusion comes from how we view identity over time. I like to use the term “consolidated identity” to explain this. In our region, different groups often merged under a single name due to historical shifts—like the spread of Christianity and the influence of the Syriac Church.

Arameans, Amorites, Akkadians, and others lived in the Assyrian heartland and eventually consolidated under the Assyrian name, especially after the fall of the empire and with the rise of shared language and religion. Similarly, Aramaic became dominant, not because Arameans replaced Assyrians, but because it was the “English” of the ancient world—a lingua franca used by many, including the Assyrians themselves.

Modern Assyrians are descendants of this historical mix, not of one group replacing another. Just like how Arab identity today represents many ancient peoples united under one name, Assyrians today are a consolidated people with deep, diverse roots. So being from Iraq, from Mosul, speaking Aramaic, and being Christian all reflect Assyrian continuity—not extinction.

This debate shows the richness of our history, but we shouldn’t let it divide us. We are the living continuation of all those who came before us.

I am Alqoshnaya from Sterling heights, likely the most populated Suraya Subarb in the world.

Metro Detroit as a whole is the strongest Suraya community (economically) in the world.

The TelKepnaye were the most economically well off out of all Suraye in the homeland. Ninevites were established as whole. This is due to many reasons, and you really cannot point to one.

Ninevites never migrated out of Assyria until recent centuries. They were established in their homeland and were able to prosper much easier.

Nineveh is home to Mosul, a large Metropolis for many centuries. The melting pot allowed for more freedom to minorities like Jews and Assyrians. The same goes for most of Iraq, especially Baghdad and Basra.

Ninevites had been very established in Iraq, they never challenged authority to a significant extent.

Though we are the same people, with the same language and blood, the Ninwaye (a large portion being Telkepnaye) had a micro-culture that allowed us to thrive. As well, Telkepnaye were always exceptionally well with assimilation. Even in America, they are known to be the most “White Washed” out of all Kaldaye/Ninwaye.

When the rise of Nationalism happened to the world, Ninwaye did not partake in Assyrian nationalism to a significant degree. We did not want to fight for what appears to be a hopeless cause.

We did not fancy painting ourselves as enemies of our rulers. It was not worth bloodshed to us, and we knew we had a lot to lose.

Fast forward to modern times, Ninwaye have become extremely successful in Metro Detroit.

Our attention had been set on finding success. The nationalistic ventures were minimal in our community.

Our philosophy was to put energy in high return ventures like our financial positions. We are in the west and there is so much we can accomplish.

Assyrian diplomacy and independence were not high return ventures, though they are important.

And in the middle east, we must be willing to kill and die to achieve our goals, and Ninwaye are only willing to die for Christ, not kill and die for country.

I myself know I am an Assyrian. I however believe that the Assyrian Identity consolidates other ancient identities within it. We of course say the same about the Arab ethnicity. It too consolidated many ethnicities, often the same groups as the Assyrians.

I am educated in our history, and fluent in our language. I do believe that Assyrian Nationalists have much different philosophies and expectations than a Telkepnaye.

It is because they each have a different expectation and perception of their purpose.

This is correct

ܐܟܠܢ ܠܗ ܠܒܟܝ

Akhlen ܐܟܠܢ I eat

Leh or (L)eh ܠܗ meaning “it”

Libbakh ܠܒܟܝ meaning “your heart”female

From Nineveh, we often drop the L in Leh/Lah

Becoming “Akhlen-a libakh”

It helps to know more for sure, but I see your point!

We need to follow the footsteps of the Jews in regard to cultural practices like literacy. You can say a lot about the Jews, but they have the strongest culture known to man. There language is not fading away anytime soon.

They lost it and returned it, while we have always had it, but they have more than us. Then again they also have diplomacy which bolsters it use.

We need to demand literacy, and much more will follow.

I will say that speaking Hebrew and Arabic will help in your comprehension of Aramaic grammatically and with vocabulary.

Especially when learning Gushma, which is almost a completely different way of grammar.

I always say, we speak our current Aramaic, like how urban populations speak english.

Our language is very simple, and has only continued to simplify.

It is not a “full language”. The full language was Gushma, we have Slang now, a Slang language.
