Views from the Pulpit

I was born in Selangor, Malaysia in 1963. I completed my priestly education at College General in Penang Seminary, where I studied both Philosophy and Sacred Theology and obtained a baccalaureate. Later, I pursued my studies further and obtained a Master’s degree in Systematic Theology at JDV in Pune, India. On 12 February 2003, I was ordained as a Catholic Priest. My priestly ordination motto is "TO LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE" (2 Jn 6). Since then, I have been serving as a minister in the Archdiocese

The Word "ALLAH" Has Been Used Since 1900

Yesterday, I received an old Malay prayer book from an old parishioner which was printed in Penang, 19th May, 1900.

When I browsed through it, there were a few places in which the word "ALLAH" appeared. So it is apparent that Christians have been are using the word "ALLAH" in all their printing materials, prayers and preaching for more than a century now.

Many Muslim Scholars and Imams have no objections for Christians to use the Word "ALLAH". Why then must some Muslims go against the Christians in this issue? To these few - If you are not sure of your faith and the terminology of the word "ALLAH" then please do not confuse others and don't confuse yourselves.
