Jah is a term used by Rastafarians to refer to God. It is derived from the Hebrew name for God, Yahweh. Rastafarians believe that Jah is the true and living God, the Almighty, and the source of all creation. The term is often used in Rastafarian prayers, songs, and conversations to express reverence and spiritual connection.
