Hey i just happened to see your post. Hmmm, very interesting. Just to share a small chapter of the Quran with you:
Surah 112, Al Ikhlas:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
Allah means One God in Arabic.
