I know it's intentional here, but I cringe whenever someone says 'Allah' in an English sentence because it's just the Arabic word for God.

But doesn't muslims also consider arabic to be the holy language and therefore the correct way and only way to refer to allah?

Ah yes, the age old source of disagreement. The nuance of what God/Allah/Elohim/Bagavan/Deva/Dingir/Wakan Tanka/Kami/Hunab Ku/Baiame/Netjer……… is and isn’t. The biggest source of discord used by the greedy to aim humans against each other. When in reality it should be the binder of humanity. It’s like fighting over the description of what a perfect apple tastes like. Every time we fall in that trap, we widen the gap.

Yes. I think everybody knows Allah is the word for God.
