According to the Koran, Allah is the "God of Abraham". Early on, Mohammad admired the Jews and Christians because they had a book. "People of the Book". Being illiterate, he didn't quite get it when he created his cult, tailor made for camel bandits. He had scribes record his words so they would have their own Book. The hatred for Jews and Christians came later in Mo's career.
That's my understanding, in a nutshell. The consensus in the West seems to be that Allah is not Jehova, but Mohammad thought so.
Its sort of a generic word for god, pre-Islam there was a pagan moon god in the area referred to as Allah. I am pretty sure in the Orthodox Christian Syrian liturgical language Allah is used for God. This use also predates Islam.
Islam is a bad violent copy & synthesis of several religious groups in the that area of the world.

Unfortunately the G-d of Abraham, Issac, Ishmael, and Judah was “El”, not “Allah”.
“Allah” is the moon god created in Babylon and exported to the Arabian Peninsula, when Babylonian king Nabuna’id retired himself in Arabia and settled his residence in Teyma, leaving his son Belshatzar to rule in Babylon.
Mohammad’s father was a priest of Allah, and the idol representing the moon god was in the Kaaba (large square building black enclosure in Mecca), along with other pagan idols, and a black stone (meteorite).
Mohammad went out from Mecca conquering in the name of the moon god, whose emblem was a crescent moon, requiring all to face the Kaaba and worship.
Hence Hebrews (Judah being one of the twelve tribes) and Christians worship “El”, also known as Jehovah, Elohim, Adonai, YHWH, or The Great I Am. All names referring back to “El”. None of these names refer to the moon god worshipped by Mohammad.
Thank you Chuckster. That’s the best explanation, in a nutshell, that I have heard yet
