Detailed explanation-1: -Allah, Arabic Allāh (“God”), the one and only God in Islam. Etymologically, the name Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic al-Ilāh, “the God.” The name’s origin can be traced to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for god was il, el, or eloah, the latter two used in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).
Detailed explanation-2: -Muslims believe in one God who created the universe and has power over everything within it. He is exalted above everything He creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation. Muslims often refer to God as Allah.
