Jesus spoke Aramaic. He would have prayed to 'Allah'
It is common knowledge that Jesus and his disciples primarily spoke ARAMAIC, and Jesus delivered his teachings in the Aramaic language. Aramaic was the language of Judea in 1 AD, most likely a Galilean dialect distinguishable from that of Jerusalem.Jesus grew up in Galilee and much of his ministry took place there. The towns of Nazareth and Capernaum in Galilee, where Jesus spent most of his time, were ARAMAIC speaking communities.

'Allah' is used in Arabic Bibles
Jews, Christians, and Muslims have used Allah in their citations and translations of the Bible since the first centuries of Islam. Jewish commentators writing in Arabic used Allah in their translations and citations.Sa´adiah Ga`on b.Joseph, a 9th century Rabbanite translator of the Hebrew into Arabic (using Hebrew characters), used Allah for Elohim 1
He has: "And Elohim [Allah] saw that the light was good"
GENESIS 1:4
CONCLUSION: Jesus prayed to 'Allah'
Jesus spoke and taught in the ARAMAIC language. In the Aramaic language, the name for GOD translates to ALLAH.Most Christians will never read the Aramaic Bible in their lifetime, and so will never know the actual name of God. Jesus prayed and cried out to ALLAH. This was the exact word uttered from the lips of the great Biblical Prophets, like Jesus.
God chose the name ALLAH for Himself. We should all pray to ALLAH and not invent new names in new languages.

What is Aramaic?Aramaic was the language of Jesus, who spoke the Galilean dialect during his public ministry, as well as the language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and also one of the languages of the Talmud. Aramaic is a language or group of languages belonging to the Semitic subfamily of the Afroasiatic language family. More specifically, it is part of the Northwest Semitic group, which also includes the Canaanite languages such as Hebrew and Phoenician. The Aramaic alphabet was widely adopted for other languages and is ancestral to the Hebrew, Syriac and Arabic alphabets. During its approximately 3,100 years of written history, Aramaic has served variously as a language of administration of empires and as a language of divine worship, religious study and as the spoken tongue of a number of Semitic peoples from the Near East.
Who is Allah?Allah is the Arabic word for God in Abrahamic religions. In the English language, the word generally refers to God in Islam. The word is thought to be derived by contraction from al-ilah, which means 'the god', and is related to El and Elah, the Hebrew and Aramaic words for God. The word Allah has been used by Arabic people of different religions since pre-Islamic times. More specifically, it has been used as a term for God by Muslims (both Arab and non-Arab) and Arab Christians.
