although corruption can also be the fact that the words have a secret meaning...such as, allah akbar is "Praise to the Mongolian emperor"

i think that no one knows for sure when allah started being used... if it was orginally allah, something else or what you say a corruption of Ellohim...

the holy quran is wrote in the aspect of the angels speaking to the prophet mohammed. if one reads the quran one can see that...

islam states their link to the abrahamic faith through the angels as being at the creation and instructing abraham...and the link of "ishmael" or the story of hagar and her son allegedly through abraham that sarah instructed to go away...it is a great "i'm the victim" story...but i have never believed in my life...

i have never believed that God needed to bring a son into the world to sacrifice him for the worlds sin...that is old theory of paying a price for sin vs God created man and surely understood man's vainties and faults of being made of a physical world...

i guess is should add...i never believed that Abraham tried to sacrifice "Issac"... of course i could say what i think but that needs to be copyrighted...

what i just said should not be construted that the Prophet Mohammed didn't understand the Abrahamic faith or monothesism...but clearly the Prophet Mohammed died and then Islam was created...

as i say...man needs a pen not God...
