Allah (Allah (/ˈæl.lə, ˈɑːl.lə, əˈl.lɑː/; Arabic: ٱللَّٰه‎, romanized: Allāh,) is the common Arabic word for God. In the English language, the word generally refers to God in Islam. The word is thought to be derived by contraction from al-ilāh, which means "the god," and is linguistically related to the Aramaic words Elah and Syriac ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ (ʼAlāhā) and the Hebrew word El (Elohim) for God.
