Po Awluah is the supreme God of the Cham Awal, the community whose religion is an indigenized Islam known as Bani. His name is the Cham voicing of Allāh, prefixed by the honorific pô, and he stands at the summit of the distinctive Cham cosmology in which the Śaiva-derived Ahier ('those below', of the yang and the temples) and the Muslim-derived Awal ('those above', of the mosque and the Qur'anic priesthood) are held to be complementary halves of one order — the Ahier feminine and earthly, the Awal masculine and heavenly. In Bani practice Po Awluah is the one creator, addressed through the acar priesthood and the fasting and prayer of the Ramawan month, yet woven into a wider Cham pantheon rather than set against it, so that Cham monotheism and the ancestral yang cult coexist. Sources differ on how far classical Islamic doctrine survives beneath this synthesis, but agree that Po Awluah is the Cham name for the God of the Awal.
