Nah.

Allah is a moon god like Nanna.

Yahweh is a smiting sky god like Zeus, who literally fucked the earth.

allah comes from elah, and el is one of yahweh's many names. Israel also uses el in it's name. El just means god and it was used in the middle east long before muhammad made up his new god.

YHWH is actually the son of El according to the Dead Sea Scrolls. A certain messiah's name is "YHWH is salvation" and he is often referred to as "Lord" without the definite article. Interestingly this is also the Greek translation of YHWH, and when it occurs in the old testament early Christians claimed it is used to distinguish Jesus speaking. Who is also called the son of God, God typically being used for El in Greek.
