No, Allah is not the triune God of the Bible. The God of the Bible comprises God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Muslims do not believe in the divinity of Jesus, so therefore Allah and the Christian God are totally different.

Allah is Arabic for God.
People who speak languages related to Arabic use terms like it to refer to God. Arabic-speaking Christians use Allah to refer to God.
The Koran, the Torah, and the Old Testament are very similar. In fact, many of the teachings are virtually identical. Allah refers to the God of the Old Testament. Jehovah refers to the God of the Old Testament.
There are many Muslim fanatics who are, quite frankly, idiots, and believe that all non-Muslims are evil EVEN THOUGH Islam reveres Jesus and the prophets of the Old Testament as Prophets.
Of course, Christians do not believe that the Muslims teachings are true, and neither do the Jews. Neither the Jews nor the Muslims believe in Christianity, etc.
While Allah, Jehovah, and the Christian God refer to the same entity, there are significant differences on how He is to be worshipped.

Yes. if Christian brothers are worshiping only God not Jesus (pbuh). God- English word used to refer Allah and English was not the language of Jesus (pbuh). (Allah) Arabic word used to refer God as Arabic was prop. Muhammad's (pbuh) language.
If you read Arabic bible then you would understand what word is referred to God. But some people do not know all these but deny everything.

Well, it would be nice if Muslims stopped subsituting Arabic terms with English based terms. It might avoid some "confusion".
For example: many Christians sometimes say "God willing". English speaking Muslims say the same thing, but they say it in Arabic. I believe they say "insha Allah". It means "if God wills it to be so".
When Muslims mix Arabic with English, it can alienate them to a certain degree, because people who don't know Arabic will not know what they mean. I guess it's the same thing as Chrisitians saying "Halleluyah", which translates "let us praise Yah (God)" or "Amen" which translates to "it is so".
Most Chrisitans I know have no idea what the literal translation of "Hallelujah" is, or that the Hebrew name for God is "Yah", but when Jews, Muslims, or Christians refer to God, they all refer to the same ONE god...Abraham's

The translation of "Allah" in English is literally "God", so your question is the equivalent of asking if the Methodist God and the Baptist God and the Mormon God are referring to the same.
...which, in my opinion, they are. Of course, there are obviously big differences in doctrine there and not everyone can be right, but that's a whole other issue altogether.

No, one book, one faith, one path, and only one heaven. This is not respect or prophecy by some new leader, this is the way the truth and the light. Jesus is God and the only savior for this world, the bible the only doctrine and if it was different i would know, God would tell me. there is no christian or Muslim, only a relationship with the lord our God. I mean a relationship which is closer than that of marriage, this is not a title or a religion, Jesus is the only way and he is all the glory. We are only vessels for his power and to enter heaven is to live only to please the lord our god. We do what he says, we go where he tells us, we live not for ourselves, we live for him, we live through him and by him.
want to know how, ask him what is right and ask him to lead and guide you, read the bible to hear is word and do exactly what he says, without question.

Muslim Allah would mean quran is the holy book.
That book has Jesus as a prophet, not an atoning sacrifice for our sins as a bible does.
That is diffeerent from Christian God.
Of course an arabic bible uses the word allah for God.
so depends on which Allah you are refering to

Yes he is The Creator, The Most Great, The Most High etc... the most beautiful of names
[7:180] To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and disregard those who desecrate His names. They will be repaid for what they did.
[2:136] Say, "We believe in GOD, and in what was sent down to us, and in what was sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."

Yes. Both worship the God of Moses, Abraham, Adam, Isaac, Jacob, etc...
The main difference is Christians recognize Jesus Christ as the son of God and the incarnation of God as man. To Muslim, he is just one of many prophets. Christians don't recognize the message of Mohamed as divinely inspired.
