Like God?
Makalah is a modern phonetic spelling variant of the Hebrew name Michaela, the feminine form of Michael. It carries the rhetorical question 'Who is like God?', implying that no one is equal to the Creator. While the spelling is contemporary, the roots are ancient and deeply rooted in theological tradition.
