Ilah

For the Belgian cartoonist, see Ilah (cartoons).

ʾIlāh (Arabic: إله; plural: آلهة ʾālihat) is an Arabic term meaning "god" or deity, refers to anything or anyone that is worshipped. The feminine form is ʾilāhat (إلاهة, meaning "goddess"); with the article, it appears as al-ʾilāhat (الإلاهة). The word is spelled either إلٰه with an optional diacritic alif to mark the ā only in Qur'anic texts or (more rarely) with a full alif, إلاه.
