Moses taught his followers God's Name. He told them to call on it and to use it. Moses taught that this Name is God's forever. It is an important Name.
Exodus 3:15
"God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'YaHWeH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you ' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations."
The words "allah", "god", "elohim", "lord" or any equivalent are not names of God no matter how much somebody believes them to be. "Allah" is the English eqivalent of the word "God". That is not a name but a word to describe what the supreme being is in relation to His creation.
God revealed what His Name is to Moses. Each prophet of God after Moses used the Name of God and taught it to their followers. Yet Muhammad does not mention it. Muhammad does not teach his followers the Name of God. It is one of the signs that would show Muhammad to be a true prophet.
