The most common answer to this analogy would be: Allah is to Islam as Yahweh is to Judaism, but this is incorrect for two reasons outlined below.
This analogy does not have a proper answer for two major reasons. Firstly, Yahweh is a name that archaeologists have ascribed to Jewish worship that Jews themselves have not accepted as a name of God. They believe the YHVH to be unpronounceable. Secondly, even if we say that Yahweh represents the YHVH, it is the "Name of God", not just the "occupation of being God", i.e. the difference between Zeus (name of a god) and "god of thunder" (occupation of being a god). Muslims do not ascribe a name to their God, so there is no functional equivalent to Yahweh in Islam. Allah is merely the Arabic word for "God" and is therefore a reference to his occupation. The Jewish equivalent of Allah would be El or Elohim.
