    There is an understanding that we can’t use term ‘GOD’ for Allah.

    So I want to know if Allah is just an attribute to Almighty or it’s his personal name ?

    So can we use different terms that are usually held by mass in different cultures to remember one true God, like : Khuda, Ishwar etc ?

    God says, All good names belong to Him. you can call Him with any good name worthy of Him. (verse 7:180)

    The name Allah was given by the Arabs to God. it comes from ilah (god). they added Alif laam (the) with it to make Allah, (The God). God adopted this name. So there is no problem if we call Him with any name given in any language for God.
