The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscent of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.
It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.
If we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.
The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.
The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".
(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth
(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Brahma, the only Brahma I am aware of is a bull.
Ahhhhhh Allah, that is the dude that alot of people pray to and some even blow themselves up for killing innocent people. Cant imagine my creator needing me to blow myself up in a car for his glory. Mind boggling, to say the least.
Jehova, the one true God. The father of my saviour Jesus Christ. The alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. The great I AM! This God is one worthy of worship, a God of true peace and love. A God that will protect his people. The great warrior, the one that will one day allow his son, My saviour Jesus Christ step from his thrown in glory and come down and pull his people out of this sinful world. Then true judgement will come. Christ is not comming back as a peacemaker but a warrior. His wrath will be swift and his judgement will be truth. Once he cleanses this world again then and only then will there be peace.
So you ask about three figures, there is only one true and living God and his name is Jehova.

ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT! Jehovah was nailed to the cross, died and paid for the sins of the people and He resurrected after 3 days, longing to have relationship with the people just like how you've wanted a relationship with the opposite sex and your parents... Allah and Brahma were just normal human beings with their own philosophy in life, compiling it and making it a religion and definitely this isn't a a relationship...

Different. "Allah" and "Jehova" are based on the Anannaki, people in that area mining gold. Brahma is based on the divine.

ALLAH is the name of the ONE and THE ONLY ONE Creator of the Universes. It is quite possible that people in other religions use other names for the CREATOR. But if any of the names come from a person, or diety or any of the created things, they cannot be the same.

There is no god but Allah, the One and Only. Only, different people call The One and Only God with different names. But, in addition to this, some people offer wrong explanations about The One and Only God.
Islam is the only religion which offers the only true explanation, all others fail in many views - science, history, logic...

I don't know about Brahma, but Allah is just another name for God. Jehovah is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

They are the same, there is only one God, we have just evolved to call Him by different names depending on where we were raised.
Once people realize this, half the world's conflicts can be avoided.
