Moros are Muslims and in our theology (aqeedah), there are certain fundamentals that we grow up with. Foremost among these fundamentals is the belief in One God, Allah, without any partner.
We grew up in a country once colonized by the Americans. The English language dominates our education system. Thus, the concept of a deity or god-hood is also based on a Western perspective whose definition evolves from their own experience. This is why many among us do not freely interchange the word God with Allah.
True enough, reading from our own perspective, our conception of God is not based on the gods and goddesses of the Old World; but in the belief that God is unlike anyone of us. He does not in anyway resembles aspects of His Creations. He can't be seen, although He is near to us than our jugular vein, He is all-about, everywhere, here and there simultaneously.
He is one, Alone in all His Aspects.
