This is also true of Christians. Many Christians in Nigeria do not know that the word Allah simply means God in Arabic and that the word has been used by Arab Christians and Arabs of other faiths long before Prophet Muhammad was born.

While this is generally true, there is an interesting case in Malaysia that runs against this fact.

Malaysia's highest court backs a ban on Allah in Christian bibles

Muslim activists celebrate as judges reject Catholic church's argument that Arabic word has been used for centuries in Malay-language literature to refer to the Christian God

God is an English word. Please translate the word into Igbo. Can you please also translate the word into Arabic? Thanks

Do you know something that Apostle Paul did not know

22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.
23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
