Thank You! Allah is a generic word for a divinity just like the English word God. Show me ANYWHERE in the pislamic "holy" books (koran or hadith or the sira) that the arabic name for Yahweh is mentioned. In syriac it's Mariah (MAAR YA). If we can translate it so could they, but they don't. What further proof do we need that they do not worship the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob/Israel?

"Allah" is the word for a single monotheistic God, just like the English word "God."

It's translated to "Allah", also many of the lesser Hebrew and Aramaic names of God ("The Truth" "The First and the Last") have direct cognates in Qur'anic Arabic.
