How are the Muslims god "Allah" and the Christians god "Jehovah" alike????

Question

Can some really help me with this because i need the answer for a project im doing in World History and itsz a major grade so can some one help me please.

All i need to know is atleast 2 waysz there alike.

Answer 1

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscent of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.

It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.

If we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Answer 2

They both claim to be God. But here's the thing, they both have different ideas about forgiveness, thier views of women and also salvation. I encourage you too look at soemof the other questions that were posed about islam. I posted several things that are just too long to re-write. Here's something that will help you a ton: Only quote from the Quran when you are speaking of Allah and the Holy Bible when you are speaking or Jehovah. Commentaries will only give you someone elses thoughts and not necessarily what is truth.
If you are able, see if you can get a copy of Jesus and Mohammad: Profound Differences and Suprising Similarities By Mark A Gabriel, PhD (Former professor of Islamic History at Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt).

Answer 3

One of the similarities between the notions of Allah and Jehovah is linguistic. "Allah" is not restricted to just Islam, and used by Christians and Jews according to geographic region. So the very word itself just means "The One God", or "The God" (al- the, ilah- god).
The Hebrew word for deity, El (אל) or Elōah (אלוה, rarely אלה), was used as an Old Testament synonym for Jehovah or Yahweh (יהוה), which is the proper name for God according to the Tanakh. The Aramaic word for God is אלהא Elāhā (Biblical Aramaic) and ܐܠܗܐ Alāhā (Syriac), which comes from the same Proto-Semitic word (*ʾil-) as the Arabic and Hebrew terms.

In a sense, the fact that this linguistic debate exists is testament to the fact that the two words mean exactly the same thing, if one gives credence to Allah then one is, in fact, validating the existence of Jehovah and vice versa.

I'm not remotely trying to tell you that Islam and Christianity are two peas in a pod, simply that the words used to describe the Christian god derived from pagan vocabulary that existed long before Christianity and at the dawn of Islam.

Answer 4

Jehovah and Allah are alike and different in many ways. The are both Gods of different religions. But muslims belive in Allah because of the fact that they belive there is reincarnation and there isnt a heaven or hell. Christians belive in Jehovah beacuse they belive that there is one God who sent his only begotten son to earth to die on the cross to save mankind. Jehovah has many different meanings Jehovah Jireh "My Provider" Jehovah Rapha " My healer"

Answer 5

They both stand as the axis of morality.
They both love unconditionally.
They both generally point the way to something bigger, something sublime, a majestic and intelligent order in the universe that regulates the natural cycles that seem to flow through everything.
They both give us a hope that this order will carry us on to some kind of destiny, spiritual evolution or salvation, so both imply some sense of deeper purpose.
