"اللهم" meaning in All languages combined

See اللهم on Wiktionary

Interjection [Arabic]

IPA: /ʔaɫ.ɫaː.hum.ma/ Forms: اَللّٰهُمَّ [canonical], allāhumma [romanization]
Etymology: Extended form of اَللّٰه (allāh). The origin of the مّ (mm) is unknown. Theories include a connection with مَا (mā), or a borrowing from Hebrew אלוהים (elohim), where the final -m is a majestic plural ending. The form is first attested in the Quran (3:26, 5:114, 8:32, 10:10, 39:46). Some interpret it to be a fusion of يَا اللهُ أُمَّ, shortened from يا ألله أمّنا بخير (yā ʾallāhu ʾummanā bi-khayr), meaning "O God, lead us in goodness". Etymology templates: {{unknown|ar|nocap=1}} unknown, {{der|ar|he|אלוהים|tr=elohim}} Hebrew אלוהים (elohim) Head templates: {{ar-interj|اَللّٰهُمَّ}} اَللّٰهُمَّ • (allāhumma)
