Analisis Penggunaan Nama-Nama Tuhan Agama Selain Islam Sebagai Rujukan kepada Allah

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of the name of god other than Islam to Allah SWT. There are some issues that have been raised about the use of names for god in other religions to Allah SWT. While in the debate of the salaf and the Khalaf scholars, the names for Allah SWT are taken Tawqifiyyah based on the evidence in the Quran and Sunnah only. Besides the tawqifiyyah method, Allah SWT cannot be named by a name other than what He names for Himself in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This study uses a qualitative method that includes data collection, content analysis, comparative analysis, and historical-based analysis. The findings show that there are some known Islamic figures who named Allah SWT as Brahma as Dr. Zakir Naik and allow the name of Allah SWT by a name taken from other religions such as Nazim al-Qubrusi. They named Allah SWT instead of Tawqifi as agreed by the scholars of the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah. Their opinion is against the Ahli Sunnah Waljamaah Method.
