The Aramaic "el" and Arabic "ilah" share a proto-Semetic root mean small-g god. "Allah" is a contraction of "al-ilah", and means "the [one] God." Any decent Arabic-language Bible will use "Allah" for "God." As you have shown, "Allah" is much closer to the term that Jesus used for His Father than the Germanic "God".I was startled the first time I attended a Mass in Turkish to hear the Creed open with profession of belief in Allah. However, that's not the name of a god, it's simply the Turkish word for God.

It is the Arabic (and Turkish, apparently) word for God. For Muslims, it is a Name of God, just as Jesus is a Name of God for Christians.
