Is the God of Islam the same as the God of Jews and Christians?

Question

It seems logical, seeing as how the OT is/was followed at one point or another. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Why are we fighting then? Maybe it is about rich and poor.

If God is to be understood, then why so many diverse answers from believers in their God?

Answer 2

To answer your first question, I will quote the verse from The Holy Quran:
Say ye: "We believe in God, and revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord : We make no difference between one and another of them : And we bow to God (in Islam)"

Come to your second question, historically, co-existance between Muslims and Christians was always there - and relationship Muslims and Jews was once improved when Islam ruled Spain.

My thoughts: I find Judasm,Christianity and Islam have more simalarities than differences - and even if we have differences - then are very minor - and a large room for exercising our similarities is closed by our leaders.

Refer to your additional comments : the clashes between all religion is based on political and culture influences, may be is not only about poor and rich but also hungry for power and wealthy!

I would like to hear from my fellow Moderate Jews and Christians related to this question

Answer 3

The best way to answer this question would be to answer it with a question. Would the god of Islam, the Jews or the Christian Religions be happy with the people who claim to serve him today?

If you would be the god that these claim to worship today, I think you wouldn't be happy with these people. First of all these religions are all part of Babylon the Great the world empire of false religion. It speaks of this in the book of Revelations the last book in the bible. Many religious leaders of now days do not understand the book of Revelations. Only one religion understands it because it has been revealed to God's people. That religion is Jehovah's Witnesses. How appropriate they are called Jehovah's Witnesses because God's name is Jehovah. In psalms chapter 83 verse 18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah. You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
How many people claim to be serving God and don't even use his name in their prayers. Or for that matter even know God's name?
So the answer to your question is, yes, the god of Islam, the Jews and Christianity are the same. The one and only, Satan the devil, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth. Revelations chapter 18 verse 4 says
"Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want ot receive her plagues.
Yes God is going to destroy false religion, which was set up by satan the devil and it has origins in the pagan religions of old. If you don't want to be destroyed, when false religion is destroyed, then you should act now and get out of her. Start studying the bible with one of Jehovah's Witnesses and learn how you can escape the Righteous Judgements of Jehovah God soon to come to the earth, today. Just look into the phone book and have one of God's people study the bible with you so you can save yourself and your family from God's rath.

Answer 4

No. Allah in the Koran is depicted as a severe judge and not a loving god. God in Jewish and Christian faiths is perceived as an almighty father, more personal and loving. Muslims share Abraham alongside Jews and Christians as the father of their respective faiths. They differ as to which of his sons is his chosen successor. Muslims believe the first born Ishmael is the true successor and is considered one of the fathers of their faith. For Jews and Christians it's the second born Isaac. However, each son was blessed by God to be a mighty nation.

Answer 5

They are both the same and horrible violent jealous genocidal freaks. The only difference is the prophets some people like Allah or Muhammad or Jesus. So that is how they are different but the original gods of those religions are the same they branch from the same people. But remember that is not a god he is just a written character in a book. People say they were influenced by god but most the books contradict each other.

Answer 6

Absolutely Not!
Jesus is God according to the book of John and many other books of the Bible. Muslims think Jesus was just a prophet and not God. The Koran teaches many contradictory things about the God of the Bible and therefore can't be the same God.
Orthodox Jews technically believe in the same God but Orthodox Jews reject Jesus as God and so they don't entirely believe in the same. Messianic Jews do believe Jesus is God.

Don't blindly accept the answers on this web page without doing good research on the subject including mine.

Answer 7

Rev Kip - The moon God, WTF? and also you're a religious chief? Explains a lot about the mindset of diverse Christians available... *Shakes Head* Do you not understand that Muslims (and many Jews) hint the origins of Islam again to the first baby of Abraham, who God also reported ought to the be the daddy of an extremely good people? So do you carry it antagonistic to Jesus that his mothers and fathers weren't christian? on account that Mohammed depending the religion, for sure he grow to be born right into a diverse one. and those loopy reference you made about the pagan daughters he allegedly worshiped, you opt on to study slightly better. Mohommed quite denouced all scripture regarding them as "The Satanic Verses" and reported such beliefs had no position in a monotheistic relgion. in any case, on to answering the question. save in ideas, I talk of the wider Christian mindset, and not in any respect the actual faith itself which preaches tolerance of others... Christianity hasn't ever loved different religions. to contain Judaism. everybody bear in mind the Inquisition? Or the shown reality that Pope John Paul II admitted that the church bore some duty for the holocaust because of it really is intolerence of Jews? Ever heard the age previous tale that we use the blood of a christian possibility free to make our passover matzah? Christians decide on to piggy again off of our faith so that they have a love hate relationship with us, yet generic can not denounce us because they did borrow our God and not in any respect any opposite direction round. The promptly out hate for Muslims comes from the shown reality that at the same time as Jews purely decide on to get with this technique, Islam grow to be formed after the shortcoming of life and hoopla of Jesus. we do not decide on to grandfather clause him in, yet they outright rejected him. Oh, that and Christians look an intollerant lot by using the indisputable fact that is (a lot to Jesus's chagrin, i'm particular).

Answer 8

According to the Quaran, yes. According to the Bible, no.

Since there is a contradiction, only one is telling the truth.

If the Quaran is telling the truth then the Bible is lying and they are one God. But if they are one God, and the Bible says they aren't, then the Quaran is wrong.

If the Bible is telling the truth then the Quaran is lying and they are different. But if they are different, and the Quaran says they are, then the Quaran is wrong.

Since they both can't be right, an analysis of the facts points to one being wrong is both cases.

I've taken their respective points to the extreme. Just as in a mathmatical equation. Science proves the Bible correct again.

Answer 9

yes it is heres a story by the Muslim poet rumi that illustrates this: Four people were given a piece of money.
The first was a Persian. He said: ‘I will buy with this some angur.’
The second was an Arab. He said: ‘No, because I want inab.’
The third was Turk. He said: ‘I do not want inab, I want uzum.’
The fourth was a Greek. He said: ‘I want stafil.’

Because they did not know what lay behind the names of things, these four started to fight. They had information but no knowledge.

One man of wisdom present could have reconciled them all, saying: ‘I can fulfill the needs of all of you, with one and the same piece of money. If you honestly give me your trust, your one coin will become as four; and four at odds will become as one united.’

Such a man would know that each in his own language wanted the same thing: grapes.

in the story grapes represents religion or some people say God each person in that story wanted to have the grapes, and they each spoke a different language. its like how Christians, Jews, and Muslims have different methods for getting closer to God or their religion its just that we have different methods of doing so and instead we end up fighting on whose method is better hopefully open discussions can help us better understand one another hope it helps.

Answer 10

Yes it is the same God, but they have some different ideas about what God is like and what God wants from us. I mean, it depends on whether you want to be a splitter or a lumper. If you want to be a splitter you could argue that they are different gods, but then you should also say that different Christian groups worship different gods because they also have theological differences.
