Yes. Means one true God. Who created Muslims, Christians, Jews, Atheists, Humanists and the whole universe.
"Whynotaskdon" must be a non-believer.

Allah was actually a name for a pagan moon god. When islam took over much of arabia they forced those translating the koran into english to use the word God instead of Allah because they figured people would convert to islam faster.

NO WAY!

Village god recovered after being "dumped"
Many gifts were brought to "The House of God". The keepers of the Kaaba accepted all.
Some brought their idols and they were placed in the sanctuary. When the people were forbidden to access the area by the Jurhumites they dumped these "treasures" in to the well (Zamzam). When the powerful tribe called Khuzaites took over power they placed their Moabite god "Hubal" in the Kaaba and worship continued. The Khuzaites were eventually replaced by the Quraysh- a powerful tribe of Arabs descended from Ishmael.
Adb Al-Muttalib, grandfather of Muhammad, is supposed to have had a vision telling him of the well - now covered over. The spirit in his dream told him to look for "blood. dung, an ant's nest, and pecking birds" (1) . He found the "clues" between two idols where the Quraysh performed their sacrifices. He dug, and found the well. This made him the hero of Mecca. [What a strange place to find "The One True God Allah", hiding in a bloody, dunghill, shared with ants]

Allah is the Arabic term for "God" in Abrahamic religions, and is the main term for God in Islam.

Allah is the Arabic word used for God in both the Jewish and Christian religion. It was used six hundred years later by Muhammad.
In English, we used the word "God" to represent YHWH and Theos/Deus.
