“Every language has its own word for God.”

But which god are they refering to with their “own word”?

Good thing God (of the bible) knows hearts and intentions of people because unfortunately we live in a world with many deceivers

YAHWEH stands for I AM. Another words He is it. Anything else is false. The Alpha and Omega has always been and always will be. He is not something we make out of our selfish desires. Allah will go into the trash bin of history. Thank you Jesus.

The problem is not with the word but the theological errors Islam attaches to the word. However, Christians and Jews (who speak Arabic as their native language) use the same word to refer to the God of the Bible. Their theology is (or should be, if based on the scriptures) correct.

But we have the same thing in English. Among groups who identify as Christian, we have groups that deny the deity of Christ or deify other humans to be equal with God. But we don’t abandon the words for God and Christ because someone else misuses them.
