    does that mean that if any book, mentions allah, even in as a passing mention, has to be disposed by cremation? or that rule only applies to specific religious texts?

      Anything. Like if someone wrote my name and phone number on a piece of paper they have to burn it when they’re done with it.

          Most Arabic literature avoids using the word outright unless it’s dedicated to the topic. Even Islamic books often refer to god by other names (e.g the creator, the merciful, the god of gods)

          Fictional books are even less likely to use the word.
