His name in Arabic is broken down Al(prefix meaning The) and ilah(deity). When u combine them to Allah u get "The deity". When God sent a prophet to a nation of people this prophet came from their own people so they could relay God's message to worship Him alone in a language the people would understand. God sent over 120,000 prophets to all of the nation's of people He created. But the Prophet Muhammad pbuh was not just sent for the Arabs he was sent for all of mankind. Because Allah is Arabic for God, doesn't make Him an Arab deity. In Hebrew they call Him Yahweh. Spanish Dios. English God. So they all refer to the same being just in different languages. So because Prophet Muhammad pbuh spoke Arabic this is why we call God Allah, call ourselves Muslims which is Arabic for " submitter to God" and why our Qur'an original language is in Arabic. It's also why all the miracles of the Qur'an: scientific, mathematical, astronomical, and linguistic are all in the Arabic language and not the translated languages
Do you know who revised the Koran to include chapters and numbered verses like the ones used in the Bible?
