the reason is
1,because a person can play mischief with the English word "God".
for example if you add "s" to GOD it becomes GODS that is plural of GOD.
And there is nothing like plural Allah because in Quran 112;1 " Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One.
2, if you add "dess" to God it becomes Goddess which means a female God, there is nothing like Female Allah or Male Allah because Allah has got no gender.
3, if you add a father to God it becomes God-father, and there is nothing like God-father or Allah-abba in islam.
4, if you add mother to Allah it becomes God-mother and there is nothing like God-mother in islam
5, if you fixed a ten before God it will becomes ten God and there is nothing like ten Allah in Islam and thats the reason why we muslims prefer calling Allah by the Arabic Word "ALLAH" Instead of the English word GOD.
and as i been a student of comparative religion this word Allah is mentioned in the scritures of the major world religion and it is also mentioned in the Bible in the Gospel of Mathews Chp 27 V 46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Elai, Elai, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?".
in every bible any translation, any language or version of the bible whether it be English bible,french bible, hindi bible german bible or any bible this word" Elai, Elai, lama sabachthani" has been maintained in its pure form.
why has this original word have been maintained ? it has been maintained for reasons best known to Allah.
and in all the bibles be it King James Version, New American Standard Version, New World Translation e.t.c there are hundreds versions available.
Now if you want to try it out, Let people say but Natural Elai, Elai Lamma sabachthani does not sound similar to " My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me". does it sound similar to Johua, Johua why hast thou forsaken me? and the Answer is no!!.
Now if you Translate this verse into Arabic it will be "Allah, Allah Lamma Taraktani".
Hebrew and Arabic are semetic Languages
"Elai, Elai Lamma sabachthani" and "Allah, Allah Lamma Taraktani" this sounds similar
and so Jesus Christ may peace be upon him too used thesame word "Allah" for almighty God.
and this word is mention in the scriptures of the major world Religions
that is the reason why
