While I was living in Turkey, I was told that Allah is the name for God in Turkey. So, without thinking much about it, I would use the word Allah to bless people or to say, "God willing" along with the Muslims.
The Muslims will say that they believe in the God of Abraham.
So, the following link explains it all very well. I hope you will check it out.

Even IF Allah meant the God of Abraham, the meaning of this name is now skewed due to the fruit of its believers. What is the FRUIT?
In the name of Allah, Christian believers are killed. If Allah were the God of Abraham, would he have His children killed?
In the name of Allah, suicide bombers are sent out to kill themselves and others. Would Abraham's God do that?
It seems to me that the preponderance of atrocities committed in the name of Allah would indicate that this name is not the name of God. Certainly not the Father God of the Christians.
When Muhammed came up with a new religion and proclaimed himself a prophet and that he had heard from an angel, he was not hearing from God. God didn't need a new religion. The Messiah had already come and finished the work of God and it was up to the Christians to spread the Good News.
Islam is not Good News. It's the worst news. It offers no mercy, no hope of redemption, no love and no freedom. Once a child is born into Islam, he cannot leave without risking his very life. How cruel.
Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come into him and will sup with him and he with me."
He gave us a choice to receive Him or reject Him. He's not trying to threaten and scare us into hell. He's trying to woo and win us into Heaven. Jesus wants a relationship with us humans. We who are lowly creatures of the earth are invited to fellowship with the Creator of the universe!
True Christianity offers freedom. Freedom from fear of death. Freedom from hell fire that the Devil would like to send us to. Freedom from evil and sin. All we have to do is ask for it. All you need is Jesus.
He will take care of you, provide for you and protect you from every evil. The name of Jesus has power. That's because of who Jesus Christ is. In Jewish, his name is Yeshua but He responds to both. Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
