The Arabic word for God is Allah, no matter the context?
That being the case, why are two different (but similar sounding) words used for god/God in the Adhan?
The Islamic call to prayer? Wouldn’t that be a matter of Arabic grammar? English grammar is not such that it morphs the term “God” but neither would it morph many other proper nouns.

No it is isn’t Arabic , Aramaic and Hebrew are very similar
El in Hebrew , Eli in Aramic not allah , the word allah means CURSE
Matthew 27:45-46King James Version (KJV)
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
“That being the case, why are two different (but similar sounding) words used for god/God in the Adhan?”
And there are 14 in Hebrew, so your point is exactly what? Anyone, anywhere in the world who attended an Antiochian, Melkite or Syriac Divine Liturgy last Sunday heard God called Allah multiple times. I can assure you that Middle Eastern Christians are NOT closet Mohammedans whatever some American protestant may think!
That this sort of nonsense comes up with alarming regularity on FR speaks volumes about the level of knowledge of Christianity on this site!
