Allah (/ ˈælə, ˈɑːlə, əˈlɑː / A (H)L-ə, ə-LAH; [1][2][3] Arabic: الله, IPA: [ɑɫˈɫɑː] ⓘ) is the Arabic language term for God, specifically the monotheistic God of Abraham.
Allah is the standard Arabic word for God and is used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews as well as by Muslims.
This is because “Allah” is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word “God” with a capital “G”. Additionally, the word “Allah” cannot be made plural, a fact which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God.
Allah is the Arabic word for God and is central to Islamic belief. In Islam, Allah is understood to be the one and only deity, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and the Sustainer of all that exists.
Allah is the proper name of the One True God, in the Arabic language used by Muslims all over the world. Allah is a name that is neither feminine nor masculine, and it cannot be made plural (unlike god, gods, goddess, etc).
