More accurate if your say: "The Allah of the Koran is not the God of Abraham."
Arabic-speaking Jews, like Arabic-speaking Christians, had been calling God "Allah" for hundreds of years before Mohammad was born --- not surprisingly, since it is simply the Arabic word for "God".

It was explained to me that the name is Al-Lah, meaning, “the god”. My sister’s Persian friend says, “If the god is willing, I shall do thus and so”.
