God is infinite, and and unknowable to the finite mind of man.
The Jews had the revelation that God's name is YHVH.
Muslims had a revelation that God's name is Allah.
The Chridytian name for God is Jehovah (supposedly tranlated from the Jewish name of God.
The Cherokee indians had the revelation that God's name os Ogedoda,
The Sioux indians had the revelation that God's name is Wakan Tanka.
No matter which name you use; there is only ONE God, and God is our spiritual parent, and hears us when we pray no matter what language or name is used to call on the Creator.

Allah is simply the Arabic word for "God," pretty much the same as Jesus Himself would have used (Aramaic is VERY close to Arabic.)
It's used in all Arabic-language religious texts, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim or whatever else, as the word for "God."
And as for the sorely mistaken friend who said the crescent was a moon god thing, that's actually not true. It represents time (think about a lunar calendar), but most specifically the month of revelation. Both of the Eids and Ramadan are calculated using the appearance of a crescent moon--it's a calendar system.

The Christ is a priest forever, without genealogy.. that places Him in the hierarchy of heaven...but does not give him the position of being God...He is to have His throne at the right hand of God.. Not sitting in the throne of God.
As there is a Prince of Peace (the Christ- Jesus) there is also a King of Peace.. There is a highly developed hierarchy explained, should anyone take the time to read their Bible!!

Jesus is God. The Bible is clear on this. So is the Holy Spirit. There is God the father, God the son, and the Holy Spirit that is the God to lead and convict, and bring comfort, among a few things. Its all thru the Bible, and those that deny that, dont know their Bible. This is reffered to today is the blessed Trinity. Tho the Bible never uses that word, it describes the triune God, of the three in one, and says all are God. The Godhead is their Title.
As for Alla, he is not a true god. Only the God of the Bible is the true God. And, God tells us that any religion that doesnt bring the message of Jesus that He came to live as a man and will come again, is part of the antichrist, and we are to flee this, and KNOW that only the faith of Jesus is real. any other doctrine, is not of God at all. God tells us we arent even to wish these ppl in religions that dont preach Jesus, well. We are to flee them only, and not even pray for them. This is Biblical, not just my opinion. I just pray that ppl will turn to Jesus before its too late, cuz He is coming soon. The signs that were foretold to us are all around us and we are to be getting ready to meet Jesus when He comes, not falling into all this false religion. How will we know what is truth if we dont know God or His word. and we need to be staying all prayed up, and ready to meet Jesus when He comes,by living a live of ovedience to God and holiness and purity. There is no other way.. but thru Jesus and obedience to Him. Even the devil knows there is a God. That doesnt save him, does it? Its knwoing, and loving enugh to obey. Search for truth and you will find it.

Beause you use an invalid initial statement:
"Jesus is same as God" (hah!)
you'are unable to understand:
Allah IS God.
God is One.
The concept of God does not refer to a group of anthropomorphic
specialized
job-specific
entities, each having yet another set of story-book myths about each of them in order to make humans feel represented and coddled.
The concept of God, as I regard it,
does not refer to a man-god "who" "has" a "son".
This sort of messy thinking is plain narcissistic, self-pleasuring
on the part of those who insist on deluding themselves about
their place in the universe.

I don't see the logic of your question. I think you're trying to use logic to confirm or deny the deity of Allah. The bottom line is that there is no connection. Allah was a man who appropriated aspects of other religions that were popular during his time on earth. Allah is really his version of The Moon God that was worshiped by many Arabs around 600 AD. (thus the symbol of the crescent).
Yes, Jesus Christ is God. But Allah is just a man. Well, more than 'just a man'. He is a man who through his teachings has led billions astray and who brings pain and death to nearly every part of the world. Wow, what a legacy.

God is One. There is no Trinity. Jesus is a prophet of God, and like all his fellow prophets, he is a human being. We love him, and believe in him, and affirm all of his miracles, bestowed upon him as a favour from his Lord. He called for the worship of God alone and for righteousness - as every prophet of God has done. However, his pure monotheistic message was gradually changed by 'Christians' into a polytheistic one, by transforming Jesus(the servant of God, into a mythological God-incarnate figure to be worshipped alongside God All-Mighty.
Jesus was in a mother's womb. He needed nutrition; he was born and grew up to be a man.A man who needs to eat, walk, sleep, rest, etc.. cannot have Divine Attributes because he is in need and God is Self-Sufficient

Who the hack is Alla?
JeZues is not God. God can't possibly wash peoples feet and why do God need to pray? To whom did Jezues pray?
