Glossary Term
Risk: Critical- Approved rendering
- Ata
- Transliteration
- ah-TAH
- Rejected alternatives
- Yaradan (Creator, as a substitute to avoid relational language)
Father
CRITICAL: Calling God ‘Father’ can register as implying literal offspring, which tawhid forbids, making Ata one of the most relationally rich but potentially jarring terms in this package. Teach the relational, adoptive sense directly rather than retreating to the flatter Yaradan.
