WHY MUSLIMS PREFER CALLING 'ALLAH' INSTEAD OF THE ENGLISH WORD 'GOD'?

WHY MUSLIMS PREFER CALLING 'ALLAH' INSTEAD OF THE ENGLISH WORD 'GOD'?
We Muslims, we prefer calling Allah Subhana Wa Taala, by the Arabic name ‘Allah’, instead of the English word ‘God’ - because, the Arabic word ‘Allah’ it is pure, Its unique. Where as the English word ‘God’,or Urdu word 'Khuda', it can be played around with. If you add a ‘s’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘Gods’ - plural of God. There is nothing ‘Plural Allah’, in Islam. ‘Say: He is Allah, One and Only.If you add a ‘dess’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘goddess’ - a female God. There is nothing like ‘Male Allah’, or ‘Female Allah’, in Islam. Allah is Unique, - He has got no gender. If you add a ‘father’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘Godfather’ - He’s my Godfather - he’s my Guardian. There is nothing like ‘Allah Father’ in Islam, or ‘Allah Abba’ in Islam. If you add a ‘Mother’ to God, it becomes ‘Godmother’. There is nothing like ‘Allah Mother’ or ‘Allah Ammi’ in Islam. Allah is a Unique word - It’s a pure word. If you prefix a ‘tin’ before ‘God’, it becomes ‘tin God’. There is nothing like ‘Tin Allah’ in Islam.
That’s the reason we Muslims, we prefer calling Allah Subhana Wa Taala by the Arabic word, ‘Allah’ instead of the English word ‘God’. But if some Muslims, - if they use this word whilst speaking to Non – Muslims, I have got no objections, because Non - Muslims may not know what’s the concept of ‘Allah’. So if any one uses ‘God’ for ‘Allah’, I’ve got no objection - But the more appropriate word is ‘Allah’. Otherwise, the Holy Qu’ran says in Surah Isra, Ch. no. 17, Verse No. 110‘Say: call upon him by Allah or by Rahmaan - By whichever name you call upon Him, it is well - To him belongs the most beautiful names. You can call Allah Subhana Wa Taala by any name - But it should be a beautiful name - It should not conjure up a mental picture.

And there are no less than 99 different attributes given of Allah Subhana Wa Taala, in the Holy Qu’ran - No less than 99 different attributes of Allah Subhana Wa Taala are given in the Holy Qur’an. For example ‘Ar-Rahmaan’, ‘Ar-Raheem’, ‘Al-Karrem’, - ‘Most Gracious’, ‘Most Merciful’, ‘Most Benevolent’. He is called as ‘Rabb’, as ‘Raziq’, as ‘Lord’, ‘Cherisher’, ‘Sustainer’, ‘Provider’ - No less than 99 different attributes are given in the Holy Qu’ran for Allah Subhana Wa Taala. And the same message is repeated besides Surah Isra, Ch. No. 17, Verse no. 110, it is also mentioned in Surah Taha, Ch.No. 20, V. No. 8, in Surah Araf, Ch. No. 7, Verse No. 180 as well as in Surah Hashr Ch.No. 59, V. No. 24, which says ‘To Allah belongs the most beautiful names’. But whatever attribute you give to ‘Allah Subhana Wa Taala’ - to ‘Almighty God’, it should be a Unique attribute - It should only refer to Him and to no one else.
