Quora Answer: What Do We Call a Person Who Believes in Allah (s.w.t.)?
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The following is my answer to a Quora question: “What is a person who believes in Allah called?”
“Allah” is simply the
Arabic term for “God”. A person who
believes in God is a theist. The term “Allah”
is used by Arabic-speakers of different faiths to refer to God. If he happens to follow the religion of Islam,
he is a Muslim. If he happens to follow
the religion of Christianity, then he is a Christian. And so forth.
