Do you refer to Christians as "people of the Book" ?

No dear, we don't percieve Allah as our father but as our God. Our father is the father of all mankind, Adam. And then there is your true father. A bientot! Take care.
Do you ever call God Yahweh? No we don't.
Does Jesus have more titles of respect in the Qu'ran than any other prophet? Well Jesus has titles of respect but Mohammad is the prophet of Islam and the very last. Jesus is just as revered and loved.
How many times a day are you instructed to observe prayer? 5 times a day.
Do you refer to Christians as "people of the Book" ? Yes, Muslims, Christians, and Hebrews are the people of the book.
I truly hope you get the right idea about Islam and not be shadowed by ignorance. I wish you the best. Take care and feel free to ask.

Allah in arabic language means God in English, so Allah is God, not their God.

Do you ever call God Yahweh? No, they call Him God

Muslims believe that Allah (in Arabic it means God) is the creator and not the father of Adam. They believe that God create not only human but everything in the world. According to Islamic books Adam and Eve were angles of God but they disobeyed the rule and ate from wheat because of temptation of Shaitan, and God send them to Earth to be punished to correct themselves for another life (Heaven or Hell after the death).

We see Allah as our creator and sustainer. He gives us more than any father could ever provide on this world. Allah is our God we worship Him, now we dont worship our father do we? Allah is our Lord, associating any partners with Him is the biggest sin in Islam

No we don't. Abdu Allah which means worshiper of Allah or God. Abu is just a nick name for people to call your father example, if your name is Adam they would call your father Abu Adam.

Not their literal father, but they do see him as a masculine authority figure involved in their creation... so you can see how there are "father" connotations. A lot of religions do this: like the "Our Father" prayer common to just about every Christian sect in the world. Or how we call George Washington et al "The Fathers of our Country".
And boy, "Father" starts looking really weird when you type it that much.

Allah of the Quran is not the same God of the bible that is why they do not call "allah" father.
God Bless
