Allah
The word Allah is the Arabic term for "God". It is ultimately derived (according to most etymologists) from Proto-Semitic ʾil-, as is Hebrew El. The word Allah is traditionally used by Muslims, but it is not used in Islam exclusively; Arab Christians and Arab Jews also use it to refer to the monotheist deity. Arabic translations of the Bible also employ it, as do Catholics in Malta (who pronounce it as "Alla"), and Christians in Indonesia, who say "Allah Bapa" (Allah the Father).
