allah in Malay

[Dennis Baron]

Here are the two entries from the Kamus Dewan, the official Malay  
dictionary.  Can anyone on the list translate?  I'd appreciate  
knowing whether the reference is general, Islam-specific, or not  
really specified:

958.
	allah 	Ar Tuhan (Yg Esa); ~ azzawajalla Tuhan Yg Maha Baik dan Maha  
Mulia; ~ subhanahu wa taala terpujilah Tuhan yg Maha Tinggi; kerana ~  
a) oleh kehendak Allah; b) dgn percuma (utk mendapat pahala sahaja);

959.
	allah 	dibuat kerana ~ menjadi murka ~ prb dilakukan dgn maksud  
baik, disangka orang kurang baik (menjadi tidak baik).
