This paper documents the phonetic properties of the Arabic word for God, Lafz Al-Jalalah ‘Allah’. Analysis parameters include stationary and dynamic effects pertaining to the sound composition and sound sequencing of the word. Acoustic analysis reveals that Lafz Al-Jalalah constitutes an unbroken band of acoustic energy, which is auditorily converted into a single prolonged stretch of speech prominence. Implications of this are discussed in relation to the notion of acoustic salience and perceptibility.
