Both means divine powers! But do you think who the christians call God is the same as the muslim's Allah?

Question

just to know if god is one or not one god!

Answer 1

Allah is simple Arabic for God.
The arabic version of the bible used to say Allah there are still some vesions which use Allah.

Answer 2

If we understand Judaism, Christianity and Islam as being part of one continuum, then the God we all worship is the same, be he called Yahweh or Allah. The distinction made is whether God's covenant with man has been fulfilled and at which stage. Jews still await the Messiah, Christians believe that Christ is the Messiah, Muslims believe that Mohammed was the last prophet of Allah. It is strange that we all worship the same God, all seek the same fulfilment, all preach peace and understanding to our fellow-man and all kill each other in the name of our faiths.

Answer 3

If we do have a creator beings, I doubt they will care what name we use for them. I'm sure they would be horrified by the hatred the prominent religions are spouting, the whole I am worshipping the true god and you aren't so you will go to hell. The creators may not even have names. People of all religions worship divine forces that put us here but extremists have warped it all.
Look at Northern Ireland, where primary school children have to have police escorts to go to school because they are protestant and they are being stoned by catholics for being 'the wrong religion' What sort of person feels they have the right to hurl rocks at little children, terrifying them like that?
It doesn't matter what religion you are, if you believe in any creator, or creators, and you are a kind person who doesn't go around trying to force your religion on others or hate others for having different beliefs then our creators will be happy? Doing the above boders on evil and what divine being would want to be accociated with such a vile human specimen? We should celebrate our differences and look for similarities. Maybe then the wars can stop. Or am I making too much sense?

Answer 4

Good question. I don't believe in a god per se. If God does exist he must be really disillusioned with all of us and obviously can't be on everyone's side. So taking sides is a human characteristic. I believe everyone who believes in a God, has their own perception of what or who that god is or represents to them personally. So, of course it can never be the same god, if 20 million people believe in a god, then there will be 20 million different perceptions of a god. Where the god concept comes from, is from their upbringing and tradition. If you choose to think outside the box, you will see that humans put human emotions and characteristics onto their gods. Their gods being mystical all powerful representations of themselves who are always on their side.

People who think this way, have no idea of their own mind's perceptions, they can't see that they propell themselves on their god and what they do in the name of their god is only ever what they are doing as a human being. In other words, what goes around comes around. Ultimately they will be judged by their own conscience. An aethist will believe we all just die, whether we have been good or bad in our lives or a mixture of both, or an evil person. I believe in an afterlife, and justice and judgement in that afterlife.

Answer 5

Yes , it is affirmative, Allah is the same God for both Christianity and Islam. God has 99 names:- The Almighty, The Most Gracious, The Most Forgiving, The Most Merciful.......................
All the messengers like Moses, Jesus and Mohammad were chosen by the same God. asshadualla ilaha ilalah, wa ashuduanal mohamadal rasululah. Meaning; I testify there is no God BUT ALLAH, I also testify that Mohammad is the last mess-
enger of God.

Answer 6

God is one- the Almighty-sole ultimate power & creator. Call HIm by any name you wanna- God, Allah, Bhagwaan, whatever.. it's different names of the same Almighty.

Religions? What's the difference between their basic preachings? _None. All teach to be good to all living beings, be honest, truthful, helping, kind, abhor sins, believe in the Almighty ,etal.

The apparent differences are in the methods of Praying, the Cultural/ Historic/linguistic and the climatic and geographical Origins have influenced the various methods, customs, ethos, etc.

Answer 7

The God of the Christians is absolutely not the same as the God of Islam. We know this because The God of the Christians has a Son, whose name is Jesus. The God of Islam has no son.

Answer 8

These days they both refer to the same deity but the origins are completely different.

They both share a similar origin in that they were chosen as the one god of many to represent them in originally polytheistic societies.

The main differences are that Allah's origin stems from a god associated with the moon (hence the Christian slurring of Allah as a 'moon god') while Yahweh was originally a god of war that eventually transformed into a loving father figure when monotheism set in.

Answer 9

only 1 god for everyone
think of it as electricity
and the religions different appliances
christians the TV
muslims the fridge
buddhists the light
etc

Answer 10

Yes, I believe it is. Both Christians and Muslims believe that there is only one God and that God is the same for both. Christians by themselves have different names for God, El Shaddai and Jehovah. Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Shalom. (I hope I'm spelling these correctly.) If in our own faith we can have different names for God why not between faiths.
