On the true meaning of "La ilaha illallah"

There is no god but THE GOD... should be the right translation. The pagans were using the term "Lah" to refer to god - the moon god or the crescent moon. The crescent moon symbol can still be seen in Islamic culture - also displayed on top of domes of mosque. The pagans were also polytheistic.

I don't think God has a name in Islam. Muslims refer to God by the "sifat" or virtues of God. It's wrong to say that one of God's name is Allah.

Al in Arabic means The. Lah means god. Allah means The God. The One God that muslims should serve.
