Where do you base your belief in the name. New testament only. We are past the old about 2000 years ago.

The word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God, and is the same word used by Arabic speaking Christians and Jews. If one were to pick up an Arabic translation of the Bible, one would see the word "Allah" being use where the word "God" is used in English. Actually, the Arabic word for Almighty God, "Allah", is quite similiar to the word for God in other Semitic languages — for example, the Hebrew word for God is "Elah". For various reasons, some non-Muslims mistakenly believe that Muslims worship a different God than Jews and Christians. This is certainly not the case, since the Pure Monotheism of Islam calls all people to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all of the other prophets. However, even though Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God — since there is only one God — their concepts concerning Him differ in some significant ways.
Muslims believe in GOD(in arabic Allah), the Supreme and Eternal, Infinite and Mighty, Merciful and Compassionate, The Creator and The Provider, He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none equal or comparable unto Him.
Islam is the only religion which recognizes and believes that all the prophets brought the same essential message This message was, still and will be the belief in and submission to ONE God (the Creator and the Sustainer of all things, the Exalted and the Redeemer of all things. The word Islam itself means "submission and surrendering" to God
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Islam is the only religion which teaches the existence of a PERFECT God. A perfect God means that there is no sharer in His Nature and His Attributes:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; and there is none like unto Him." (Holy Qur'an, 112:1-4)

Well without the beginning, there is no today. Like Gen 1:1 says (the first verse in the Bible), "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
So I guess GOD.

There is no God but ALLAH.It is the name in which all the beauty of this world is hidden.All beauties are given to us by this Name.So,how can we give another name to him.
My body,my soul,my mind and my all have a firm belief on It.
Just call This Name by heart,you will be contended on all your problems.No matter you are for HIM or not,HE is for everyone.

Personally, I think the word "GOD" is truly used in a generic sense; different cultures have different words for "GOD"-ALLAH, YA WI,BUDDHA; we don't really get to find out what HIS true name is until we've been properly introduced in the afterlife....just my opinion!
