allah

Allah is the Arabic language term for God, mainly the monotheistic God of Abraham. Outside of Arabic languages, it is principally associated with Islam, although the term was used in pre-Islamic Arabia and continues to be used today by Arabic-speaking adherents of any of the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism and Christianity. It is thought to be derived by contraction from al-ilāh and is linguistically related to other Semitic God names, such as Aramaic and Hebrew.
