Although the Gospels were written in the pidgin Greek called Koine, Jesus and his followers spoke Aramaic a language related to Hebrew and Arabic in the same way Spanish is related to French and Italian. In Aramaic the name for God is Alaha which is virtually identical to the Arabic Allah. Just something to think about.

Allah and Aloho are pronounced differently, spelled differenly in their respective cognate letters, and have different meaning.

It's VERY misleading to say that in Aramaic the word for God is "Alaha", as there are TWO "a" vowels in use. The first is different from the last two, hence why I translitterate t "Aloho" (in Western) or "Élaha" (in Eastern dialect, the plural of which is "Élahe" which is more similar to "Elohim").

The Arabic "Allah" is made up of two parts: "Al-" and "Lah", which litterally means "The God." The Aramaic has no such construct.

Additionally, in order of complexity of languages, Aramaic comes in first (it's the simplest of the Semitic), followed by Hebrew, followed by Arabic. Aramaic and Arabic are just about as related as English and Greek, only they share more common three-letter-roots.

Furthermore, there's a lot of evidence that is being uncovered concerning the New Testament's authorship in Aramaic rather than Koine.
