Does the Koran contain the tetragrametron?

Thank you for this interesting question. The simple answer to your question is no, the tetragrametron does not appear in the Quran. The name which the Quran uses to identify the creator is Allah. This is only a name, however, and is not the actual being.

There are 99 other names considered to be names of qualities of God used in the Quran such as ar-Rahman, meaning "the most merciful" and al-Ghaffur, meaning "the forgiver". God is also refered to as Rabb or Rabbi, meaning "lord" or "my lord" but the word is badly translated, it is closer to meaning the love of a mother bird for her chicks whom she nourishes and protects until they can fly from the nest on their own.

The derivation of the word Allah - الله - alif lam lam alif he - is a constant discussion for linguists and probably has the same root as the Hebrew word Elohim. Most commonly translated as "God", it more properly means "the God".

Peace and Blessings,

Yes, in the original text in Hebrew, Psalms 83:18 shows YHWH or JHVH. That language only had consonants. But when the language of Hebrew was in everyday use, readers of the bible easily provided the proper vowels. Scholars developed a system of points to indicate which vowels to use when reading ancient Hebrew. This is where you may see Jehovah in the bible.

The reason you don't see it in many christian bibles to day: In time, Jews came to have superstitious ideas that it was wrong to say the name of God aloud, so they used supstitute expressions...

-The Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible said this at a footnote on Exodus 3:15- "The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH or JHWH."

-Today's English Version rendered this of Exodus 6:3- "The LORD:...Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated as Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions.

The Kings James Version shows shows the name Jehovah throughout many pages of the bible.

Some in Christendom chose to follow the Jews in their opinion that saying the divine name of God was wrong, so they chose to leave it out of many bibles when they were printed.

I want you to think about your question for a second. The name found in the Koran would be Allah, and they would say that is the true name of God. The name is certainly not removed from the Christian Bible, but is translated as God, along with Elohim. Adonai is translated as Lord. When asked his name, God said, "I am that I am" or Eheiyeh.

The tetragrammaton is a greek word meaning the 4-fold name of God. It refers to the name Yod Heh Vav Heh, which is supposedly unpronouncable and ineffible--beyond understanding. Some pronounce it Jehovah, but that is a cop out. Others say EEaaoooaaEE, or Yaweh, but again, it isn't

supposed to be pronounced.

The Christians focus on the name of God that man should be focusing on in his current state of evolution, the pentagrammaton, that of Yod Heh Shin Vav Heh, YHShVH, or Yeshua, Jesus in the Greek/English, God made manifest.

Your question is more than a little insulting to any non-Jew. But, think about it. Although YHVH is a beautiful expression of divinity, worth of much meditation...do you really think it is God's name? Do you really think that a being capable of creating the entire universe can be named, like...Fred..or something? It is simply A name, not THE name.

The tribal/race religion of Judaism was fulfilled and completed in the man Jesus of Nazareth--the Messiah, the Holy One of God. His teaching of universal brotherhood supercedes all the teachings of racial superiority and nationalism, and it is about time we all figured that out.

Tetragrametron...I've seraced for the meaning but couldn't find it...so if u can tell me the exact meaning of this word... Than I'll see if its meaning matches with any of the 99 names of GOD given in Holy Qura'an...
