Arabic vocabulary
اللَّهَ is how you say “Allah” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مَعَهُمْ،
So worship Allah with them.
اللَّهَ — Allah. This is the divine name acting as the object of the command 'worship', the One the listener is told to devote himself to, so it takes the object-style (accusative) ending. The ending marks God as the target of the imperative rather than any subject.
From: The Joy of Repentance →إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمُ الأَكْرَمِينَ،
Indeed, Allah is the most generous of the generous.
اللَّهَ — Allah. This is the noun that the opening emphasis particle has seized, which is why it wears the object-style ending even though it is the thing the sentence is really about. English would just say 'Allah is...'; Arabic instead marks it as governed by the 'truly' particle, then states the description of it in the words that follow.
From: Preparing for Death and Repentance →OpenArabic teaches words like اللَّهَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
