Also, the Christian Arabic Bible at that time and still does, use the word Allah for God. Presently in the Middle East, Christians sometimes name their children, and use as a family name, Abdallah. The use of this name is perhaps attributed to the passage in Matthew 25:14-30 which refers to the parable of the talents and the three servants. The parable praises the good servants and could have led to the use of the name Abdullah among Arab Christians. Furthermore, the father of the prophet Muhammad was named Abdullah. A Hispanicized version of the name is Abdala or Abdalá.
