The question should be WHAT is allah, not who.
Reason: no personification of what is described as ' outside of human paradigm'. Which means that if you take all human knowledge on all levels of being and all areas known to mankind, that thats not allah.
It also means that when one experiences something new, the old dies, but allah doesnt change and still is outside of human

Originally, ʾilāh was used as an epithet for the West Semitic creator god ʾIlu (the version of ), before being adopted as the proper name itself for this god.
I dont wana go to deep down the rabbit hole, but if Allah seemed non existent before Islam, then is it possible that this could have been a modernised name for a pre-existing god/God?
I've been wondering about this too especially since part of my practice is doing stuff from sufism.
I spoke to some sufis who had completely different opinions than the majority.
One of them was sure that Allah is just a deity. Another thought it's nothing but a group of spirits.
There are some who think it's just an egregore.
Whatever it is, it has pretty strong hot and powerful energy.
The Quran and effects that come feel like a powerful magical system with distinctively different spirits than any other system. Great purifying effects, peace of mind, harmony, excellent spiritual states, all kinds of results.
Isn't that just the Arabic word for God or something?I dont wana go to deep down the rabbit hole, but if Allah seemed non existent before Islam, then is it possible that this could have been a modernised name for a pre-existing god/God?
The Source has no names, but the Muslims call Him Allah. Allah is the same thing I call Source or The Universe. My best advice is to verify it for yourself. Don't believe a word I say.
