Two Yuds in a row designate the name of God Adonai and in pointed texts are written with the vowels of Adonai; this is done as well with the Tetragrammaton.
As Yud is the smallest letter, much kabbalistic and mystical significance is attached to it. According to the Gospel of Matthew Jesus mentioned it during the Antithesis of the Law when he says: "One jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Jot, or iota, refers to the letter Yud; it was often overlooked by scribes because of its size and position as a mater lectionis. In modern Hebrew, the phrase "tip of the Yud" refers to a small and insignificant thing, and someone who "worries about the tip of a Yud" is someone who is picky and meticulous about small details.
Much kabbalistic and mystical significance is also attached to it because of its gematria value as ten, which is an important number in Judaism, and its place in the name of God.

Islam has enjoyed a long history in China.
For Chinese Muslims, the principal term for God is Zhēnzhǔ (真 主)
but transliterations of the Arabic Allâh also exist as Ālā, and as Ānlā=Ān "Peace"+Lā "Help"[10](阿 拉 and 安 拉).
The term Húdà (胡 大), from Persian khudai, for God, is seen more often in north-western China.
The term Zhǔ (主,literally "Lord") is used by both Catholics and traditional Protestants in less formal prayers,
and usually by contemporary Protestants.
Other less formal terms are used, for example, Tīanfù (天 父, literally "Heavenly Father").
