The Arabic word 'Allah' is pure and unique, unlike the English word 'God'.
(1) A person can play around with the english word 'God' . . .
(2) God+s= Gods: if you add the alphabet 's' to 'God' it becomes 'Gods' that is plural of 'God'. Allah is One and Singular, there is no plural of Allah . . .
(3) God+dess=Goddess: if you add 'dess' to 'God' it becomes 'Goddess' that is a female God. There is nothing like male 'Allah' of female 'Allah', Allah has no gender . . .
(4) God+father= Godfather: if you add the word 'father' to 'God' it becomes 'Godfather', he is my Godfather i.e he is my guardian. There is nothing like 'Allah Abba' or 'Allah father' in Islam . . .
(5) God+mother=Godmother: if you add the word 'mother' to 'God' it becomes 'Godmother'. There is nothing like 'Allah ammi' or 'Allah mother' in Islam . . .
(6) Tin+God= tinGod: if you put 'tin' before 'God' it becomes 'tinGod' i.e a fake God. There is nothing like 'tin Allah' or 'fake Allah' in Islam . . .
Allah is an Unique word, with which can neither conjure up a mental picture, nor can it be played arround with. 'Allah' is the name mentioned for the One Unique and True God in the Holy Qur'an. Therefore, muslims prefer calling 'Allah', but sometimes while speaking to non-muslims we may have to use the inappropriate word 'God' for Allah . .
