It has been so several centuries before the Muslim faith.

Because it is another language.

Jesus said "Allaha" almost what Muslims say "Allah"........"Allah" therefore is the Arabic word used by Arabic-speaking Christians, Muslims, and Jews as the word for God. We can hear its counterpart in the other two semitic languages -- Aramaic (Jesus called God "Allaha") and Hebrew (Ellohim). It makes no more sense to say "Muslims worship a god called Allah" than to say "The French worship a god called Dieu" or "The Spanish worship a god called Dios.",,,,,,
GOD Laws are made of three Books: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

There are many names for God that can be found in all of the worlds religions.Its not very important to know the exact name of Deity for that secret is entrusted to the initiates of the world.As an occultist we see the name of God as being Sanat Kumara but the real name Of God I am not to reveal to an as yet profane humanity.

So what if it is? I'll agree that Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, and other semitic languages will have common roots for words. Does that change the fact that I believe Jesus is the Only Son of God and my Savior? Or that a religion that comes into existence 600 years after Jesus and denies him as Lord is right and my religion is wrong? One tiny little similarity does NOT negate truth.

Because it isn't..
Even though the name allah is generic for god in Arabic, Islam has given it a further meaning. If allah meant generic god then allah would be also the god of every religion no matter what they believed.
allah is the god of Islam and he has certain things he says and he speaks through Muhammad..
The God of the Bible does not speak through Muhammad and hence is not the same god.
Jehovah, YHWH and other names of the God of the Bible are different..

Study what happened in the centuries you mention. The name of your god is Allah in Arabic. It is not the name of God. Your god is a conglomeration of many idols united in one. That is why your scripture says he has no equal or partner. Islam is trying to absorb Christianity and Judaism as well. That is why it says he has no partner or equal.
Mecca held over 300 idols, all the objects of focus in poetry contests. Poetry determines truth and worth? That is why one of your greatest evidences is the wonderful flowery poetry inspired by Allah.
You try to understand a hard doctrine of Christian faith, and not being a Christian you fail to grasp its meaning. It is impossible for you to do so. You insist that Christians worship multiple gods when in hidden reality it is the thing you do. Christians keep trying to convince you that they believe in one and only one God, but you do not have the ability to grasp the meaning. While your many gods are united in one Allah, God has made Himself known to man as He wills.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He came to us to save us from the penalty of sin. All have sinned and come short of His glory. There is no other name under heaven whereby we MUST be saved.
No man will ever be able to strip Christ of the power of his Name. No man will ever be able to make of him a simple prophet. In him salvation is assured. Without him all perish.

Christians do not want to believe that they and the Muslims worship the same god, that's why.

Type down the word "God" in this Aramaic dictionary to find out what Jesus used to call God:

I see it.
... that's the Syrian dialec
I also see that in Hebrew it's Yahvé...
... which is sometimes translated as Jehovah...
It's "El" in Aramaic
"Ilu" in Akkadian
"Elohim" in Hebrew as reference to the early concept of Trinity.
"Shaddai" for the Amorite...
... Over all, it's just a word. Who said it "first" is of little consequence...

God has no name. Every language has come up with it's own name yet all these differ. God couldn't possibly care what name you call Him. JUST CALL HIM!

Because my God is not Arabic. My God is the ONE, TRUE GOD!
