the Arabic word for God is ’ اله’ or ilah or Elah , Allah is name of god .
so when muslims says la ilah ila allah they say there is no god but Allah because elah is the word for ‘’ god ‘’ but not allah .
for example , I will say Hindus have many Gods , gods here can’t be Allah(s) , but will be in arabic ‘الهة’ which is the plural of god or the word Elah , I pronounce it as aliha which means gods, but the orginal word for god in arabic is Elan (ilah) .
so Allah is the name of the god of islam (Christians in the Middle East use it for Culture reason , I call God the son , Allah al ibn , and God the Father , Allah al ab )

It is commonly known in the Arabic speaking people the word ALLAH to be referring to GOD whether they are Christians Muslims or Jews actually the Christians and the jews used it before Islam came to existence.
Also to pronounce the phrase in Islam right it would go like this “LA ILAHA ILLA LLAH” they omit the “A”. and like I said before it is difficult to translate it properly to such a non-expressive language such as the English because there is no such a good translation to it.
But the word ALLAH is not a name of GOD, ALLAH is actually made of two section the first is the “AL” which it means in English “THE” and the second part is “llah” which it means “god” so by right when it is written in English it should be written as such" AL-LAH" or to be translated right it should be" THE GOD". the “AL” is as we call it in the ARABIC Grammar ( AL al-ta’arif) which it means the “the,al” of specifying, recognizing etc.
and by the way the the AL in Arabic it is the same as in the Spanish language because the Spanish took it from the Arabs when they ruled Spain for about 400yrs.
Arab Christians pray to Allah. “Allah” is the Arabic word for the one God. If your language is Arabic, this is the word you use in worshipping the one God. Jesus, who spoke Aramaic, used the word “Allaha,” and the word in Hebrew is “Ailohim” – all three words derive from the same root.

When someone says ‘allah’, people usually think of the Muslim God.
So they are trying to say, “there is no God except the Muslim God”. They are trying to say their religion is right.

Yes and no. I agree that most people (at least in the US) associate Allah with a “Muslim God.” However, the idea of a “Muslim” God is a fallacy, as both Muslims and (at least some) Christians profess belief in the same God, the God of Abraham. (Vatican II produced a few documents to this effect.)When someone says ‘allah’, people usually think of the Muslim God.

I’m not sure I understand your statement.The distinction is that professing it does not mean the Christian and Muslim god are the same God. There are immense differences.
Islam is based on the concept of being a continuation/correction of Christianity. Additionally, the Vatican has upheld that Muslims do worship the one true God in Nostra Aetate, a Vatican II document, and in comments made by the pope.

Right. It’s a two way street though. Muslims worship the Abrahamic God, but they also deny him. Since Jesus is God, and they deny that he is, they are technically denying God while still worshiping him.I’m not sure I understand your statement.

The bible do not contain an additional revelation by Muhammed. The “one true God” as it is interpreted to mean of the Abrahamic faith.I’m not sure I understand your statement.

Mohammad was not mentioned in the bible because Jesus was the last.
Jesus already told us that false prophets would come. And look what we got now, Islam.
Obviously us Christians know that it is false. There would be no need for a prophet after Jesus. Not to mention Moh totally diverted the truth by saying that the crucifixion didn’t even happen.

Because it is a God, depleted of the Son and the Holy Spirit.The word Allah means 'a God" in Arabic. If Allah means God why do Muslims say ,"there is no God but Allah.? Why not say "there is no Allah but Allah? I hear that said in America, I don’t know about anywhere else. What I’m talking about is English. It sounds like Allah is the name of the Muslim god when it is said like that.
Jesus Christ is God. Do they worship Jesus?..No. He who does not have the Son, does not have the Father nor the Holy Spirit.
They are monotheistic - that’s where the similarities end. They don’t even have Peace, because Jesus is Peace. And if they had Love, they would have the Father. When you have Love and Peace…you have Unity of the Holy Spirit.
They have neither- none and nor.
