No--they're just letters, after all. You could make them disable
hyphenation by changing their \catcode or \lccode values, but that
goes rather against the spirit of Unicode, where all the letters of
all the world's scripts should be equal "first-class citizens" in
text processing.

Indeed it doesn't.
(Actually, it seems to me that "Al-lāh" is actually a very reasonable
hyphenation. But depending on the situation, you might prefer to
avoid it.)
