No doubt about it. Since The Almighty is One. He alone has sent all these warners to humans who showed them the way to salvation. The only difference is that all except the last came to deliver the message, but Mohammad (SAW) came to fulfill the religion...... that is Islam

The Torah is the old testament of the Holy Bible.The Jews denied Jesus Christ as the true messiah.Therefore the Jews do not recognize the new testament.
As far as the Koran.That's Ishmael's way of getting back at his brother Isaac.That is why Christianity and Islam clash.That is why Islamics end up in the long run destroying more than they build,because God chose Isaac,not Ishmael.Israel is the rightful heir to the Gaza Strip.Until the Palestinians realize this.The wars in the middle east will continue.

The Torah came forth from God, with the help of Moses (he was from God).
Bible came forth from God, with the help of many men, teachers, and prophets that were from God.
The Koran came forth from, what Mohamad says, the angel gabriel.
The Koran can be understood by going to the website: www.answering-islam.org It has on the sites quotations from the Koran as to what is the truth concerning Jesus, which in the Koran his name is 'Isa The website answers any and every question quite effectively concerning the Holy Koran.
Hope this all helps some. God bless you friend.

No, that's not why. Many of the stories in these books are the same, or similar, to stories that other cultures brought forth. All these stories got adapted to suit the religion they were written down, but they all derive from the same source: the storytelling man. Stories have always been told. Stories to understand things, stories to mistify things, stories that tell a moral, stories that are plain funny. If you check out the Greek, the Egyptian, the Indian, the Eastern European or the Mayan mythology you'll find similar stories. Try to read Joseph Campbell's Hero with the Thousand Faces and you might understand this.

Yes they did, regardless of what we (Muslims) believe that the Bible was tampered with, the original is the word of God. I have not read the Torah, but seen scripts of the Bible, the stories of the Prophets I read about is very similar to those in the Quran.

The Torah is the Pentateuch. They are the first five books of the bible. They came from the same authors certainly, and I use the plural because the Pentateuch wasn't written by one individual.

Yes, it is historical fact that both the Quaran and Christian bible are based off of Judaism. Many of the Jewish traditions and stories are based off of earlier religions in ancient Mesopotamia as well.
So, to answer your question, yes, they are all referring to the same god. However, many of their traditions, laws, and who they hold in reverence (i.e. prophets such as Jesus and Mohammed) are different in that respect.
Edit: lol, I get a ratedown for stating historical fact. Looks like some of the fundy's need to open their history book.

Just as the New Testament is supposed to be the "corrected" Torah, the Koran is supposed to be the "corrected" bible. They all came form the same tradition, but I doubt that any of them are from God.

No, I adamantly disagree with you. There is one true God who created the world, all in it, and you. He is God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit all in One. The Bible is His living word. If the others have similarities, it's to deceive you and twist God's words. Instead of asking us, why don't you just ask Him? Be ready for Him to answer you.

No. Not from God, from men.
Yes the books are very similar, all the oldest religions/faiths have very similar(same) beliefs at their core.
