The word Allaah is not a new and unknown word and name. It is a word and name used for the Creator by past prophets and Messengers of the Creator. The Arab Christians use the name Allaah for God and Allaah is also used as the name for God in Arab Christians' Bible.
Outside of Arabic languages, it is principally associated with Islam (in which it is also considered the proper name), although the term was used in pre-Islamic Arabia and continues to be used today by Arabic-speaking adherents of any of the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism and Christianity.
The idiom is thus associated with Islam, but its meaning is generic enough that Arabs of other faiths also use the everyday expression. It is typical in the speech of Arab Christians, for instance, although they may occasionally substitute religious expressions that are specific to the Christian community.
Like Arab Muslims, Arab Christians refer to God as "Allah". As with the Christians of Malta, this practice is distinguished from the Islamic use of the word "Allah" which refers to the personal name of God in that faith. The use of the term Allah in Arab churches predates Islam.
Allah (God)
Muslims believe in the existence of Allah. Allah is the Arabic word for 'God. ' In fact, the Arabic Bible uses the same word to refer to the Triune God of the Bible. Key to this belief, and a Muslim understanding of Allah is his oneness and uniqueness (or Tawheed).
The Quran explicitly promises salvation for all those righteous Christians who were there before the arrival of Muhammad: Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord.
In Islam raising the index finger signifies the Tawhīd (تَوْحِيد), which denotes the indivisible oneness of God. It is used to express the unity of God ("there is no god but God").
So frequently do Muslims and Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians invoke this phrase that the quadriliteral verb hamdala (Arabic: حَمْدَلَ), "to say al-ḥamdu li-llāh" was coined, and the derived noun ḥamdala is used as a name for this phrase.
Inshallah, usually called the istiṯnāʾ, is an Arabic-language expression meaning 'if God wills' or 'God willing'.
Christianity was a major pre-Islamic Arabian religion and there were significant communities of Arab Christians by the fourth and fifth centuries.
Assalamu alaikum literally just means peace be upon you. Yes like many a word that Allah et cetera. It too predates Islam and is something that the surprise Christian Arabs also use. The other day somebody questioned why my was saying assalamu alaikum.
an-Naṣīra (اَلنَّاصِرَة) Nazareth Naṣrānī (نَصْرَانِيّ) A traditional Islamic term for Christians (literally "Nazarene"). Arab Christians prefer Masīḥī (مَسِيحِيّ).
You thereby know that there is no harm in saying "Mashaa' Allaah" upon seeing something that a non-Muslim, who is not at war with Muslims, possesses, and this does not constitute unbelief but is sanctioned as underlined above.
It is a common expression used throughout the Arabic-speaking and Muslim world, as well as among non-Muslim Arabic speakers, especially Arabic-speaking Christians and others who refer to God by the Arabic name Allah.
There is an obvious reason for this: Islam did not appear until about 600 years after Jesus. Therefore, when you read the New Testament the subject of Islam and the person of Muhammad are never mentioned (though Jesus does warn generally about false prophets in Matthew 7:15-16 and 24:24-25).
No. As Jesus didn't speak Arabic and thus wouldn't have used an Arabic word .
Allahu Akbar
The phrase is the official motto of Iran and Iraq. It is also used by Orthodox Arab Christians as an expression of faith.
Expressions 5: Subhanallah

Nafiso Sheekh Axmed it's used by every Arabic person Muslim or not, even Arab Christians say it.
Scholars have been puzzled by the use of ʿĪsā in the Qur'an since Christians in Arabia used yasūʿ before and after Islam, itself derived from the Syriac form Yəšūʿ and ultimately Hebrew Yēšūaʿ by a phonetic change.
If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word “Allah” being used where “God” is used in English. This is because “Allah” is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word “God” with a capital “G”.
