I request my christians brothers and sister to kindly stop criticising Allah as the word Allah is used in Hebrew and in Arabic As well.
Genesis 1:1 - "Fee al-badi' khalaqa Allahu as-Samaawaat wa al-Ard . . . " "In the beginning Allah created the Heaven and the Earth . . . "
John 3:16 - "Li-annhu haakadha ahabba Allahu al-'Aalama hataa badhala . . . " "For Allah so loved the world, that . . . " For God so loved the world, that . . . "
Luke 1:30 - " . . . Laa takhaafee, yaa Maryam, li-annaki qad wajadti ni'amat(an) i'nda Allahi." " . . . Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with Allah."
Luke 3:38 "bini Anoosha, bini Sheeti, bini Aaadama, abni Allahi." "the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God."
O Christians do you pay attention on my request which is benificial for YOU too?

Actually, Allah is never found in Hebrew. Maybe it is Aramaic you are thinking? But I agree with you.

While the word allah is found in the arabic translation (it is NOT in the hebrew), the way that Muslims view Allah is vastly different than the way that Christians and Jews view Yahweh (or Jehovah, if that's what you want to call him).
This being the case, while in theory the Allah is the same as Yahweh, in practice, the god that muslims worship is different than that of the christians.

Yes, you are right, Allah is found in the arabic version of KJV, but the qu'ranic Allah is very different than the biblical Allah. the biblical one has a son etc. Just like for example, the Indians, some are Christians, Hindus, Islam etc they all have a God of their own, and they call him God in their language obviously, but they're all not the same Gods, their Hindu Gods is different from the Islam God and same as the Christian God, he's different from the Muslim God, but Hindu/Christian/Islam Indians call their God, "God" in their language, so it doesn't mean that their God is ONE.

They can say Allah in Arabic if they want to but you will never convince me that it is a name God ever revealed Himself as - God is pretty specific with His Names. And don't tell me its the same word just a different language - I still believe it in reality is the name of a different entity. But I also realize I am in a very small minority who think that.

Actually, Allah is not used in Hebrew. However, Arabic and Hebrew are sister languages and Allah is Arabic equivalent of most common Hebrew name of God.

The word for God in Arabic is "Illa" not "Allah"
Allah is the name of a moon god.

It is surprising that you do not write out the whole of John 3:16.
Why not??? If it says allah?
