Um, Muslims don't use "Rabbi"..they use "imam" or "maulvi." However, Rabbi and Imam hold the same connotation. Just separate diction to the differing languages...similarly, although Abraham and Ibrahim hold the same meaning and are generally the same people for both religions, they are pronounced differently. Overall, it's a language thing. For example, "Jesus" is pronounced differently in Spanish, why isn't it pronounced the same since they're both defined as the same person? Again, because of the conflicting languages.

where do muslims use the rabbi? i reallyhavent heard about that. But muslims do beleive in Abraham or Ibrahim as a phrophet, Muslims may call him Ibrahim and Jews call him Abraham but they are the same person. So it doesnt really matter as long as you beleive him 2 be a phrophet. The same thing as Christians say Jesus but Muslims also beleivein him as a Phrophet and call him Isha. Same person. They beleive different things about him. But the same person.

it has to do with the language in which the Holy Books of Zabur, Torah, Injil or Bible and Qu'ran were released. it is also due to the dialect and accent of these 2 languages. i mean you can even notice the gradual change within Hebrew language itself from Moses-pbuh time to Jesus'pbuh time.
but whatever it maybe, however they may be called but there is something more impotrtant than just names -- their MESSAGE from GOD. be it -- Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Noah, Muhammed -- pbut or any of the 1,24,000 prophets -pbut -- they all came for us , to help us understand about God and to teach us the word of God. they spent their whole lives doing that without having a slightest thought about their lives. i think it is now time for us to honor and respect their self-lessness.
hope i helped. have a nice day and peace.

Muslims don't use the term "rabbi" for themselves. If Imams (= Islamic priests) were called "rabbis" it would also end up as something different, e.g. ravvahas. (those are two v's not a w)

The same reason a container for keeping your beer ice cold is called an "Esky" in Australia & a "Chilly Bin" in New Zealand

It's the language barrier between Arabic and Hebrew that makes it sound different.
