Examples of allah in a Sentence
This is the best way to pray to Allah and keep everyone safe.

Allah is king on high. Bow down to Allah,’ how would I feel as a Christian parent with that being broadcast to all the children in the schools.
I ask Allah to show mercy on all the Muslim brothers and sisters killed in the accident.
I am going to get rid of these elements one by one until the last person, apart from the decision from the Almighty Allah, no human soul, animal, fish or insect, black or white, can remove me from power.
