It's all the same, doesn't exist, or maybe it's just aliens messing with our heads ever since the dawn of time.

Allah. Jehovah. The Father. They're all the same thing. Allah is just "God" in Arabic. In Aramaic (the original language of the Bible which is a cousin to Arabic) there was a different word for God (elohim).

They are all the same initially but as time passed, the messages became distorted due to political reasons. For example, Arab Christians in the Middle East say Isa ibn Allah, or Jesus son of Allah. The reason why there is more than one religion is b/c has humanity matured, so did the message and the previous ones became null. Those sitting on their thrones and enjoying their positions of religion would not sacrifice this privilage no matter what. When the final message of Islam came, it took Europe out of the dark ages through its spiritual wave through North Africa and Middle East.

Yes. "Allah" is the Arabic for "God", it is used by all speakers of Arabic regardless of their religion (Muslim, Christian, Jewish).
"Jehovah" is someone's best guess at how to pronounce the Hebrew name of God given in the Hebrew Scriptures. Since:
1) the vowels are not given (Hebrew being normally written without vowels), and
2) it has been forbidden for anyone to pronounce this name since the times of the Temple (when only the High Priest could pronounce it, and that only once a year on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)), and the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE,
no one knows the true pronunciation anymore (or if they do, they aren't telling anyone).
So, yes, they are the same God - in Arabic, and in Hebrew respectively.

Depends on what you believe. Hard-core christians would say no, some muslims that I associate with would say yes.
My personal opinion: All the names of God/dess are for different aspects of the same thing. It is just perceived differently by different peoples and cultures.

they are obviously different. why all the hatred towards christians if muslim and christians have the same god?
why should i 'convert' to worshipping like they do and why am i an 'infadel' if i dont? God of abraham is peaceful and the father of love. allah is violent and kills ppl in this life who wont convert.

Ishmael & Isaac.
Sons of Abraham.
Jews, Christians, & Muslims all worship the God of Abraham.
Thus, SAME GOD.

ALLAH is ar reem (all knowing). i doubt ALLAH is the same as Jehova. ALLAH is perfect. He doesn't exist in the trinity. I think Jehova does exist in the trinity. Ask your pastor this question.
