Edward William Lane, Arabic Lexicon
(TA) <~~~ a Muslim Scholar is who said " a proper name denoting the true
god" not Lane whom is quoting him in which Lane says in [] of his own words "
the only true god " (following after TA.) as the denotation of "
God" capitalized. No where does Lane say “a god” or “god” indefinitely to denote a false god.
There is no difference in "The only true God" vs "God i.e. the only true god" which was a formal way of writing when "God" was already capitalized before the denotation.
God
Deity or Supreme Being.
Each of the major monotheistic world religions worships a Supreme Being, who is the sole
god of the universe, the maker of all things, omniscient and all-powerful. God is also good. In ancient Israel God was named Yahweh. The God of the Hebrew Bible also became the God of Christianity, but generic words, such as theos in Greek or Deus in Latin, were often used to refer to him. In Islam the term is Allah.

So does this mean you worship “god” ? :roll:
Edward Lane quoted the use “
God” capitalized over 10 TIMES for the meaning of Allah.
Again we ask what name did Arabic Speaking Jews and Christians use before Islam to refer to God ?
