  • هُوَ — Ho-wa — Him (= pro., s., m., 3rd person. Refers to the Almighty God. This word in common parlance is pronounced as hoo by ignoring the vowel ka-sa-rah on its last word. The Phrase Allaa-ho-aa-hud meaning Allah is One shows some other ways also that the Holy Qor-aan repeates its message about the Oneness of God)
