Malaysia’s highest court has ruled that a Catholic newspaper may not use the word “Allah” to refer to God.
The ruling upheld a lower court decision that banned The Herald from using then word, on the grounds that it would cause confusion in the community.
The Herald editor Fr Lawrence Andrew, SJ, explained that “Allah” is the Malay language word for God.
Fr Andrew said there is provision to review the ruling and that will be explored once the written decision is received.
