    GOD.

    JUST GOD.

    God, Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah = all the same one and only God. Just said in different languages.

    In ancient Arab paganism, Allah was one of the gods of the Arabian peninsula, which includes "manat", "Uzai", "Hubul", "Allat", and others. "Allat" was considered the daughter of Allah, but Allah considered the greatest, like Zeus in Greek mythology, and Brahman in Hinduism, and in pre-Islamic era Arab Jews and Christians used the name Allah as the translation of the name Elohim because it's the most linguistically closest name, in contrast with Islam which used the word Allah as a solely untranslated name for their deity, and you can notice in the official Quran translations they don't translate the word Allah into more proper English word such as "God", but they keep it as it is Allah, because it's the name of the deity they worship.
