[1]The word Allah (Arabic: الله) is the Arabic term for God.[2] It usually refers to the Islamic God, but in the Middle East, other religions sometimes use the same term for their God.[3]
In Islam, Allah is the main word for "God."[4] Muslims use 99 Names of God to describe God, but "Allah" is the most common of these and means all of them. When a Muslim says "Allah," all of the other names of God are thought of as part of it. Muslims also believe that this word tells about God's being a single entity and as being without wrong or defect and of God having no partner.
