Alla and God are the same, according to many people (in facto, not to me, but in this case I won't discuss it) The Bible says that the only way to God is Jesus Christ. Now...
- Christians believe in Christ's capacity to forgive our sins (duh)
- Muslims don't, they think he is a prophet, even of a lower importance as "their" own prophet.
Ok, so who is right? Here is a fact:
- Mohamed's tomb: full.
- Christ's tomb: EMPTY.
You decide.

God and Allah are the same, and at one time the early Muslims offered to merge with the early Christians. The early Christians turned the offer down. Food for thought.
I seem to remember the mosque of East and west was involved. I attempted to look up more but the search would require more than asking.
Why is everything requiring my email address?

Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word "Allah". Many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews.
This is totally false.
Allah (God) :
Islam is the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God). The name Allah (God) in Islam never refers to Muhammad (peace be upon him), as many Christians may think; Allah is the personal name of God.
What do Muslims believe about Allah?
1. He is the one God, Who has no partner.
2. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not created, nor a part of His creation.
3. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just.
4. There is no other entity in the entire universe worthy of worship besides Him.
5. He is First, Last, and Everlasting; He was when nothing was, and will be when nothing else remains.
6. He is the All-Knowing, and All-Merciful,the Supreme, the Sovereign.
7. It is only He Who is capable of granting life to anything.
8. He sent His Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide all of mankind.
9. He sent Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last Prophet and Messenger for all mankind.
10. His book is the Holy Qur'an, the only authentic revealed book in the world that has been kept without change.
11. Allah knows what is in our hearts.
These are some of the basic guidelines Muslims follow in their knowledge of God:
1. Eliminate any anthropomorphism (human qualities) from their conception of Allah. His attributes are not like human attributes, despite similar labels or appellations.
2. Have unwavering faith in exactly what Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) described Allah to be, no more, no less.
3. Eradicate any hope or desire of learning or knowing the modality of His names and attributes.
4. Believe totally in all the names and attributes of Allah; one cannot believe in some and disbelieve the others.
5. One cannot accept the names of Allah without their associated attributes, i.e. one cannot say He is Al-Hayy - 'The Living' and then say that He is without life.
6. Similarity in names (or meanings) does not imply similarity in what is being described (referents). As a robotics arm differs from a human arm, so the "hand" of Allah is nothing like a human hand, His speech is nothing like human speech, etc.
7. Certain words are ambiguous or vague in their meanings, and thus may be susceptible to misinterpretation. Only those meanings that are in accordance with what is specified by Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him) are acceptable.

You should research this on your own, look into each religion for more clarification. Each has there simularities, each has there hippocracies. Each beleives in one true god who is foregiving, yet each beleive you will be punished or go to hell for not beleiveing in one true god there way. It's like the followers of the religions created a popularity contest for prophets, which is a shame. I beleive both prophets of each religion are just, each speak solid truths when you read there work. Both religions are right, but the people following them who fail to see it are wrong, if they go to hell or not is up to god. If a wise person says wise words, why would you not listen and learn?

Allah, Yaweh, Messiah, remember your bible Jesus is quoted as saying I AM, IAM. In other words, GOD is all of those names from beginning to end. Hence, Alpha and Omega, which are the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet.

there's no idea of eternal torment in Judaism. that theory first seems contained in the Christian Bible (NT) with the creation of their interpretation of unique sin and the want for a *savior* to redeem them and to furnish atonement of sin. the want for a human sacrifice is redundant in Judaism. we've continually received *atonement* straight away from God without or with the sacrifice of a touch critter. Human sacrifice has been forbidden to Jews because the time of the close to-sacrifice of Isaac. we are cautioned to be a *holy* human beings -- separate/apart from those peoples who prepare human sacrifice. .

It is the defiling of the heart that plunges consciousness into becoming aware of hell, not a label.

A rose by any other name stinks just as bad. Hell doesn't exist.
