What does "al" mean?

Answer by  spicykissa (201)

"Al", in Arabic, is simply a definite article, like "the" in English. When Arabic is transliterated to English, it is used frequently in names.

In arabic, al means "the". When you hear allah, that is the combination of al and lah, where al means "the" and lah means "god", so allah means "the god".
