What a jumble! Allah is Al-Ila which just means "The God". The equivalent in Hebrew is Ha-Eloha which no-one thinks is feminine (the plural Elohim is more common). There is a similar ending on the tetragrammaton name of God YHWH which likely was pronounced (IMHO) in classical Hebrew times as Yehoah (not Yahweh - it doesn't fit in the poetry or make any kind of sense). Quran is from the root QRA which means to read, cry out, shout, call in Hebrew or Arabic. The Bible or scripture is known in Hebrew as Miqra. Same concept. Haram means forbidden in Arabic. In Hebrew Herem means a ban or ex-communication. I always thought that the Harem was an area of the Palace banned to male access. I assumed something similar for "sanctuary" but could be wrong. A close word in Hebrew also means to destroy (this one needs more research on my part). According to the Midrash Rebecca was taken to be married to Isaac at age 3! So the fact that Ayesha (Muhhamad's wife) was a child is not surprising in the context.... Also with what went on in ancient Egypt. I could go on....
