JESUS

In Islam, Jesus (known as Isa, Arabic: عيسى), is considered one of God's most-beloved and important prophets and the Messiah.[44] Like Christian writings, the Qur'an holds that Jesus was born without a biological father to the virgin Mary, by the will of God (in Arabic, Allah) and for this reason is referred to as Isa ibn Maryam, a matronymic (since he had no biological father). (Qur'an 3:45, 19:21, 19:35, 21:91) In Muslim traditions, Jesus lived a perfect life of nonviolence, showing kindness to humans and animals (similar to the other Islamic prophets), without material possessions, and abstaining from sin.[45] All Muslims believed that Jesus abstained from alcohol, and many believe that he also abstained from eating animal flesh. Similarly, Islamic belief also holds that Jesus could perform miracles, but only by the will of God. [46] However, Muslims do not believe Jesus to have divine nature as God nor as the Son of God. Islam greatly separates the status of creatures from the status of the creator and warns against believing that Jesus was divine. (Qu'ran 3:59, 4:171, 5:116-117). Muslims believe that Jesus received a gospel from God called the Injil that corresponds to the Christian New Testament, but that some parts of it have been misinterpreted, misrepresented, passed over, or textually distorted over time so that they no longer accurately represent God's original message to mankind (See Tahrif).[47]

Muslims also do not believe in Jesus' sacrificial role, nor do they believe that Jesus died on the cross. In fact, Islam does not accept any human sacrifice for sin (See Islamic conceptions of atonement for sin for further information). Regarding the crucifixion, the Qur'an states that Jesus' death was merely an illusion of God to deceive his enemies, and that Jesus ascended bodily to heaven.[44] (Qur'an 4:157-158.) Based on the quotes attributed to Muhammad, some Muslims believe that Jesus will return to the world in the flesh following Imam Mahdi to defeat the Dajjal (an Antichrist-like figure, translated as "Deceiver"). [48] Muslims believe he will descend at Damascus, presently in Syria, once the world has become filled with sin, deception, and injustice; he will then live out the rest of his natural life.

ALLAH

Allah is the Arabic term for "God" in Abrahamic religions, and is the main term for God in Islam.

Arabic-speaking Muslims, Christians and Jews (including the Teimanim, several Mizraḥi communities and some Sephardim) use "Allah" as the proper noun for 'God.' "Allah" is found in the Qur'an and in Arabic translations of the Bible. In the Qur'an, it refers to The Only God.

Outside the Arab world, Allah is associated with Islam, and is used to refer specifically to the Islamic concept of God. The Islamic conception of God is a strict monotheism. It is the same as the Jewish conception of God, but differs from the Trinitarian Christian conception of a single God.

Islamic scholars often translate Allah directly into English as 'God', especially Qur'an Alone Muslims. Other scholars feel that Allah should not be translated arguing that Allah is the term for "The God" in a glorified pronunciation. This is a significant issue when translating the Qur'an.

BUDDHA

In Buddhism, a Buddha (Sanskrit, Pāli) is any being that has become fully enlightened, has permanently overcome anger, greed, and ignorance, and has achieved complete liberation from suffering, better known as Nirvana. It is commonly used to refer to Siddhartha Gautama, the historical founder of Buddhism.

Buddha literally means "awakened" or "that which has become aware". It is the past participle of the Sanskrit root budh, i.e. "to awaken", "to know", or "to become aware".

Generally, Buddhists do not consider Siddhartha Gautama to have been the only Buddha. The word Buddha is simply a title that means 'The Awakened One'. A Buddha is considered anyone who has become Enlightened (i.e. having awakened to the truth, or Dharma) on their own, in a time when the teachings on the Four Noble Truths or the Eightfold Path do not exist in the world. Hence, Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha is in fact one of many such beings who have existed in the past, and will continue to exist in the future. Some Buddhists believe the next great Buddha will be one named Maitreya. While anyone can become Enlightened and experience Nirvana, some Buddhist texts such as the Lotus Sutra imply that all beings will become Buddhas at some point in time.

Anyhow, in a vernacular sense, it is important to note the difference between the specific name "the Buddha" and the connoted meaning "awakened". In many Asian countries (e.g. Thailand), the specific term "Buddha" generally evokes the unique, sacrosanct connection to Siddhartha Gautama. Although it is widely accepted that anyone can become "awakened", those awakened are not generally referred to as the Buddha by secular people.

Jesus is considered to be the son of God in the Christian Religions. According to the Moslim belief, Jesus was a prophet, and not the son of God. He is considered to be the Messiah or the Word of God..
Allah is the Moslem of Islamic name for God. This is the very same God that the Christians and the Jewish religion believe in.
Buddha was the son of King Shakumuni. A prince who felt sadness because of what he witnessed outside of the palace. He gave up his royal life to strive to find answers to life questions. He became known as the enlightened one because he finally was able to establish the truth as to the truth of the reality of the universe, to liberation of suffering from birth to death, and attaining eternal happiness. He believed in the Eight rights which included the right knowledge the right truth, snd the right conduct. Buddha is noted as a great teacher in India.

Christians believe that Jesus was God,
Allah means God in Arabic,
and Buddha was a philosopher -- nothing to do with any God.

AGE mostly! Budda is 2400 years old, Jesus is 2000 years old and Allah ( God) has been around since before time began, his chief advocate Mohammed has been around about 1600 years.
ALLAH's other names are Jehovah or God but he calls himself I AM. ( like Popeye). He has many others too.
Mohammed and Jesus and Buddha were all men. they were messengers of God ( or Allah) God is God no matter what name you give him. Surely it is natural that people of different languages will have different names for the same things.
This "god" created men supposedly. if he did he sure goofed up a lot so maybe He or she or it was not the true great and powerful one and only GOD, but a mere pretender. maybe.

According to Islam teachings all people and prophets beginning by Adam,Abraham ,Issac,Israel,Mouse,Jesus and Mohammed (peace be upon them all)are slaves to Allah(in Arabic).Who is the only Lord of all worlds.So,i think (Allah)is the same word(God)in English,who is not in need to son or daughter or father or mother.Koran says:There is nothing similar to HIM(Allah).
I think Buddha is a person whose followers worshiped him wrongly as their God.

Buddha is the odd one... he was just a man... not a deity.

Many people think that Buddhists "worship" Buddha but we do not... you could be a Buddhist Christian if you wanted. He was just a man who became "enlightened" through meditation. That chubby guy that everyone calls Buddha is NOT the main Buddha either... that statue you see is called HoiToi and he is like the Buddhist Santa Clause.

That's all I know.

All three are religious figures.

Allah is the one true God of Islam.

For Christians, Jesus is one of the three manifestations of the triune God (one part of the Trinity) who is believed to have been resurrected from the dead around the year AD 30. He is also respected as an important prophet in Islam.

Buddha was the founder of Buddhism in northern India in the 400s-500s BC (not sure on the dates). After years of reflection, he is believed by Buddhists to have achieved enlightenment and spent the rest of of his life teaching followers how to end suffering by giving up their desires through right living.
