Quran's Story of Moses & Burning Bush & God's Name?

1a.) If the Quran is seen as the islamic book of god, and the lineage is suppose to come from Abraham's other son Ismael then how does the story go about Moses and his asking what is God's name when talking to the burning bush?

1b.) According to the "old testament" it states God said his name was Yaweh (translated as Jehovah), but why doesn't the Quran mention Him telling Moses His name, and why don't Muslims say the name instead of just saying god?

2.) Since "the children of Israel" (what some call Jews) call the books Moses wrote, the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) what are their names in the Quran?

    I'm amazed at people's ignorance. If you don't know what I'm asking, just don't write anything for the lousy, undeserved, 2 points.

    Nonsense, the response to Moses' question was "I Am that I Am!"

    Not I Am George! Have you no clue at all what the book is about?!

    The god of Quran calls itself Allah, that's it.

    Doesn't matter. They are just "stories" concerning ancient superstition. It just doesn't matter.

    > it states God said his name was Yaweh (translated as Jehovah) ----- Completely and utterly wrong. Gave up here because you have no clue.
