اللَّهَ Allah in Arabic

قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ

Allah the Exalted said: 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.'

اللَّهَ Allah

The divine name as the subject of the emphasized sentence, here in the object-shaped ending that the emphasis particle imposes on its subject. It is who does not forgive.

From The Sin of Idolatry

إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ عَبْدًا بِمَالِهِ وَفِقِهِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لِوَصِيَّةٍ جَائِرَةٍ

Indeed, when God intends to punish a servant because of his wealth and his understanding, He causes him, at his death, to make an unjust will.

اللَّهَ God

وَأَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا بِهِ،

From Guidance for the Seeker

قَالَ فَإِشْهَدِي اللَّهَ وَأَشْهِدِينَا أَنَّكَ قَدْ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُ

He said, "Then bear witness to God and to us that you have been pleased with him."

اللَّهَ to God

This is the thing the command acts upon, the one being called to witness. Arabic flags a word as the direct object by putting an -a vowel on its end, which is why the divine name here ends differently from how it would as a subject. Word order is flexible in Arabic precisely because these endings, not position, tell you who does what.

وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَرَّفَهُمْ وَأَعْلَى مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ بِدُخُولِهِمْ الإِسْلَامِ،
