Allah (English pronunciation: /ˈælə/ or /
ˈɑːlə/; Arabic: ﺍﻟﻠﻪ Allāh, is the Arabic
word for God (literally "the God", as the
initial "Al-" is the definite article). It is
used mainly by Muslims to refer to the
Islamic God, Arab Christians, and often,
albeit not exclusively, by Bahá'ís,
Arabic-speakers, Indonesian, Malaysian
and Maltese Christians, and Mizrahi
Jews.
The term Allāh is derived from a
contraction of the Arabic definite article
al- "the" and ʾilāh "deity, god" to al-lāh
meaning "the [sole] deity, God. Cognates of
the name "Allāh" exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and
Aramaic.
Biblical Hebrew mostly uses the plural form (but functional singular) Elohim. The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā ܐܗܠܐ in Biblical Aramaic and
ʼAlâhâ ܐܵܗܵܠܲܐ in Syriac as used by the Assyrian Church, both meaning simply "God". In the Sikh scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, the term Allah (Punjabi) is used 37 times.
The name was previously used by pagan Meccans as a reference to a creator deity, possibly the supreme deity in pre-Islamic Arabia. The concepts associated with the term Allah (as a deity) differ among religious traditions. In pre-Islamic Arabia amongst pagan Arabs, Allah was not considered the sole divinity, having associates and companions, sons and
daughters–a concept that was deleted
under the process of Islamization.
In Islam, the name Allah is the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name, and all other divine names are believed to refer back to Allah. Allah is unique, the only Deity, creator of the universe
and omnipotent. Arab Christians today use terms such as Allāh al-ʾAb ( ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺍﻷﺏ , "God the Father" to distinguish their usage from Muslim usage. There are both similarities and differences between the concept of God as
portrayed in the Qur'an and the Hebrew Bible. It has also been applied to certain living human beings as personifications of the term and concept.

The miss-concepts by the Non-Muslims about the word "ALLAH" and "Ilah" d gods of Arab pagans. They called ALLAH "the God of MOON"

The word ALLAH, according to several Arabic lexicons, means"the Being Who comprises all the attributes of perfection" i.e. the Being Who is
perfect in every way (in His knowledge, power
etc.), and possesses the best and the noblest
qualities imaginable in the highest degree. This
meaning is supported by the Holy Quran when it
says: "His are the best (or most beautiful)names." (17:110;20:8; and 7:180) Contrary to popular belief, the word Allah is
NOT a contraction of al-ilah ( al meaning 'the',
and ilah meaning 'god'). Had it been so, then the
expression ya Allah ('O Allah!') would have been ungrammatical, because according to the Arabic
language when you address someone by the
vocative form ya followed by a title, the al
('the') must be dropped from the title. For
example, you cannot say ya ar-rabb but must say ya rabb (for 'O Lord'). So
if the word Allah was al-ilah ('the God'), wewould not be able to say: ya Allah, which we do. Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon (which is based
on classical Arabic dictionaries), says under
the word Allah, while citing many linguistical
authorities:
"Allah ... is a proper name applied to the
Being Who exists necessarily, by Himself, comprising all the attributes of perfection, a proper name denoting the true god ... the al
being inseparable from it, not derived..." Allah is thus a proper name, not derived from
anything, and the Al is inseparable from it. The word al-ilah (the god) is a different word.
The word Allah is unique among the names of God in all the languages of mankind, in that it was never applied to any
being other than God. The pre-Islamic Arabs
used it to refer to the Supreme Being, and never applied it to any of the other things they worshipped.
Other names of God used by mankind, such as "lord", "god", "khuda", etc. have all also been used for beings other than God.
They have meanings which refer to some particular attribute of God, but "Allah" is the name which refers to the Being Himself as His
personal name.
The Holy Quran itself refers to the uniqueness of the name Allah when it says: "Do you know anyone who can be named along with Him?" (19:65) Arabic is the only language, and Islam is
the only religion, that has given the personal name of God (as distinct from attributive names such as lord, god, the most high, etc.)

There are clear prophecies in previous scriptures (the Bible, the Vedas etc.) about the man who will come and give the name of God, which in previous religions was regarded as a secret.
1. David prophesied:
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" (Psalms 118:26). This is also repeated in the Gospels (Matt. 21:9, etc.), and was fulfilled by the Holy Prophet Muhammad whose first revelation was "Read in the name of thy Lord" (the Quran, 96:1).

2. Zechariah prophesied:
"And the Lord shall be king over all the earth, in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name
one ." (Zech.14:9) All Muslims, anywhere on the
earth, speaking totally different languages, recognise the name "Allah", thus fulfilling this
prophecy, "his name one". (All Christians,to take an example, do not recognise a single name of God, and therefore do not fulfil this prophecy.)

3. Isaiah prophesied: "And in that day
shall you say, Praise the Lord, call upon His name." (Isaiah 12:4)
So Muslims say repeatedly exactly this: alhamdu li-llah, and call upon His name Allah. An objection answered.

The following objection has been raised regarding the name Allah:
Al -'The', lah - 'God'.
It means the God. It was one of the gods worshipped by the Arabs. His female equivalent was Allat, al - 'the', Lat 'goddess'. Muhammed's
followers did not like the concept of worshipping a female diety.

Answers:
"Allah" was NOT "one of the gods" of the pre-
Islamic Arabs, but was recognised by them as the supreme, abstract God. There was no idol
which they called "Allah". The Quran quotes the idol- worshippers as presenting the argument that: "We worship them (i.e. the idols) only so that they may bring us nearer to Allah." (39:3) Obviously then, "Allah" was not just one of the
gods.
It is also entirely wrong to say that Al-Lat was a feminine form of Allah. Besides Allah, the
different tribes of the Arabs believed in their tribal gods. "Al-Lat" was the tribal god of the
Thaqeef tribe who lived in the city of Taif (where there was a shrine with an idol of Lat). The
Quraish worshipped "Uzza" as their tribal god,
and similarly with other tribes.
So it is simply incorrect to say that the Arabs
regarded Lat as being a female equivalent of
"Allah". "Allah" was, as said above, regarded by
them as their supreme God. Lat, Manat etc.
were believed in as tribal gods.
Moreover, Lat, Manat and Uzza were believed
by them to be daughters of Allah, as the Quran
says: "Have you then considered Lat and Uzza, and the third, Manat? Are the males for you and
for Him the females" (53:19-21). The Quran is here pointing out the contradiction in their beliefs, that they ascribed daughters to Allah, but preferred to have sons themselves! So Lat being believed as a daughter of Allah, could not possible be regarded by them as the female equivalent of Allah.
In Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon the words "ilah" (god) and Allah occur under the root A-L-H, but the word Al-lat is given under an entirely
different root L-T. Therefore, "Al-lat" is not the feminine form of the word Allah (for in that case it would occur under the same root as
for "Allah", but is derived from a completely different root with a totally different meaning.
The root from which al- lat comes means (among other things) "to moisten". Lane quotes several reports on how the idol came to be so
called. It is named after a man called Al-Lat.
Sometime before Islam, there was a man used to give pilgrims a..... barley meal (known as saweek), moistened with either water or clarified
butter. He thus became known as Al-lat. After he
died, the rock where he was buried came to be
worshipped and was known by his name. And
thus there came to be the idol named Al-lat.
