Sort of. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are interconnected. Just don't tell them that.

Who Is Allah ?
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.

Yes He is same, there is only one God !!
We (Muslims) believe that Torah, Zaboor, Bible and Quran are the word of God. Quran is the last and word for ever. The other Books were time bound. They also revealed on the Prophets for the time being.
Torah revealed on Prophet Moses (PBUH) for the time being.
Zaboor revealed on Prophet David (PBUH) for the time being.
Bible revealed on Prophet Jesus (PBUH) for the time being.
Quran revealed on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forever.
And God has promised to safeguard Quran from any violation in its purity.
May God Bless you!!!

Yes, He is.
God sent four revelations.
1. The Psalms, through the Prophet David
2. The Torah, through the Prophet Moses
3. The Bible, through the Prophet Jesus
4. The Qur'an, through the Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessings be upon them all.)
God revealed the original versions. :) I hope that helps! :)

It most certainly is - the Abrahamic deity. That's the same one they proudly claim drowned 99.9999% of humanity - including children & pregnant women - killed off the Egyptian babies, and had several tribes slaughtered in his name - including children, women & animals. Yep, same loving god.

I think there is only one God.. with different names and different paths to reach him... in fact religion comes from "religere" which means "to reunite"... Religion is the way to reunite with your creator... the path you choose is alright as long as it is true to you.
