I know that you use "Allah" and the word for "God", but what word do you use for the name of God: "YHWH" or "Jehovah" which is translated in our Bibles into the word "Lord"?

We speak Arabic, and we refer to God as Allsh when we pray in Arabic.

I do not say what YHWH means, because that would be fulfilling a prophecy.

JdeM will have a much better informed view than mine, but as far as I understand, Arabic Christians also translate words like “the LORD” into Arabic “ya Rabb” referring to God as the Lord. But they would translate that as referring to Allah as “Rabb”, also of course other names, like “the merciful”, “the creator”, all these names being used in the Middle East by both Christians and Muslims.
