Translation: Allah (الله)
Allah is the Muslims word for God. However, Allah is the Arabic word of God, the same God for Jews and Christians. In the Arabic version of the Bible, it is used the word Allah for God. Arab Christians say Allah (as God in English) and they say in Arabic 'Isa Ibn Allah' that means Jesus son of God (Isa in Arabic is Jesus, Ibn in Arabic is son, and Allah in Arabic is God).

Basically, yes, Allah does mean GOD.Specifically, in literature,"Allah" comes from the Arabic word "elah" which means; 'god' or 'something worshiped'.In the Koran, the word 'He' (referring to God) or 'we' (referring to 'the words of God')"He" is used only out of respect and dignity, not gender."We" is only used as the "Royal We" just as in English for royalty.

"Allah" is the same word used by Christian Arabs and Jewish Arabs in their Bible, centuries before Islam came.Source: The classes I've been to
