The word "Allah" is the perfect description of the "One God" of monotheism for Jews, Christians and Muslims!
Is "Allah" only for Islam and Muslims?
[No! It is for All Three Abrahamic Faiths.]
"Allah" is the same word used by Christian Arabs and Jewish Arabs in their Bible, centuries before Islam came.
On page one [1] of Genesis in the Old Testament, we find the word "Allah" seventeen [17] times.
Every hotel and motel has a Bible. Next time you see one look in the introduction, you will find samples of the different languages they have translated. For Arabic they have translated the verse in the New Testament in Arabic from the famous verse in the Gospel John 3:16 -
"For God so loved the world..."
- and the word the translators used in Arabic for "God" is the very same word used by Muslims around the planet, "Allah."
Where Does the word "Allah" Come From?
"Allah" comes from the Arabic word "elah"a god' or something worshiped. - (Arabic) means '
This word (elah) can be made plural (gods), as in "aleha" and it can be male or female just as the word in English can be "goddess."
"Allah" comes from "elaha" but it brings more clarification and understanding.
Allah = Has no gender (not male and not female)
"He" is used only out of respect and dignity - not for gender
Allah = Always singular - Never plural
"We" is used only as the "Royal WE" just as in English for royalty
Allah = Means "The Only One to be Worshipped"

Actually -- You should remind Christians that the name of their God is also Allah (ï·»). God is not a name. Allah (ï·») is a name for God.
If you open Genesis 1:1 and Search the Word Allah: The word God in Genesis 1:1 in Arabic = ALLAH (اÙÙÙ ). You can use this site: http://biblehub.com/multi/genesis/1-1.htm You will find the arabic word اÙÙÙ if you put it in the search space.
Allah (ï·») says in Quran to all:
"Say [O Mohamed ] O People of the Book, Let us come to a common word between us and you. That we do not worship except Allah and not associate with him anything [no man/son] And let us not take from ourselves lords besides Allah. But if they Turn away, Then say; Be Witnesses that We are Muslims [Submitted only to Allah]"
___
So Allah (ï·») is God for Muslims and Jews and Christians.
But many do not know, coz they don't even read their scriptures.
Perhaps you can teach them :)
And Mohamed is the Final Messenger and Jesus was Allah's Messenger.
[not son or god - -just Messenger]
Thanks :)
