Allah ( Arabic: اللَّهْٰ lit. 'The God') is the common name for God in the Arabic language.[1] It is similar to Ha-El, which is the name for God in the Hebrew language, and Alaha-i, which is the name for God in the Aramaic language. Muslims commonly use the word Allah for God.[2] Sometimes, people who speak Arabic still use the word Allah when they speak English.
