Abstract :
This article is a research on the word “Allah” and trying to show special privilege of this word in comparison to other words. The privilege of this word enjoins its sanctity as well as its heavenly meaning which is applied in confining this word comparing to the other. The superiority of the word “Allah” in art and Semantics is manifested clearly in its written form by the early scribes consciously and intentionally. Although this word is considered as the word of Quran and belongs to the Arabic Language and is seemingly the same as other words, but there is no similarity in the scope of writing or meaning between this word and the rest. This word has usually been contrary to the rule of semantics and structure and has always been different from the other words in terms of Semantic, lexical, etymology and grammar. In calligraphy too this word stands as an exception and does not follow any of the writing rules of the other words, because its writing rule is exclusive to its own and no other word can follow according to the writing rule of “Allah”.
