Just a few examples for those who are still in doubt . . .
The images below, with the exception of the first image, were taken directly from The Holy Bible in Arabic. Referred to in Arabic as al-Kitâb al-Muqadis (i.e. ,The Holy Book), this is the scripture which is used by Arabic-speaking Christians (of which there are still about 15 to 20 million in the Middle East). So that those unfamiliar with Arabic script have something to compare these images with, the first image below is a verse from the Qur'ân - which is the Muslim scripture. In the images, the Arabic word Allah is underlined in red so that it can be easily identified. Upon comparing the images, one should be able to clearly see that the word Allah appears in both the Qur'ânic and Arabic Bible images. Indeed, the word Allah appears throughout Arabic translations of the Bible, since it is simply the Arabic name for Almighty God. Insha'llah, the examples below will help quell the doubts of those who have been duped into believing that Muslims worship a different god - either by the hostile media or by Christian missionary propaganda. We hope that this serves as enough documentation for those who still have doubts about this. We could think of no other way to prove this point, except to encourage everyone to do further critical and open-minded research on their own. Please, don't forget to compare the images . . .

Muslims, Christians and Jews believe in the God of Abraham. Islam, Christianity and Judaism are considered Abrahamic religions.
Christians do not believe in the revelation of the Qur'an to Muhammad and that the scriptures are not true so that the description of Allah is not what they envision of God. Some follow the teachings of Robert Morey that Allah was a pagan moongod.
It is deeper than the translation of a word. Christians believe that Jesus was both fully man and fully God. Muslims believe that Jesus was a man and not the son of God. Muslims do not believe in the trinity that is the foundation of Christian belief.

The Bible teaches that Jesus is both the Son of God and God the Son--the second person of the Trinity. So yes, Christians absolutely believe in a different God other than the one taught by the Koran. The first link below should be helpful in understanding the differences.

There is but one God. People translate differently, the meanings of the very same biblical verses. You get sect of Muslim and Jews and every other religious basics because of the people and their differences. Because of most languages having a lot of words with many different meanings text translations come out differently. Then you get into different people believing or disbelieving in various noted individuals from the past ( Mohammad and Jesus and the disciples) and their teaching. If you try to go back to the beginning you won't even get the same beginning. You just have to accept the difference and work from there. Name calling does not promote peace or understanding (as in missionary propaganda).

One cannot have the same God if they contradict each other.The fact that the word is the same doesn't make it the same God.The Greek word for Hell is Hades,the Bible uses that word but the writers did not believe in the Hades of Greek Mythology.El Allah was the Moon God of ancient Arabia and Muhammed ,whose family were priests of Allah ,incorporated that into his new religion.Yahweh was the God of the Old Testament,translated to English is Jehovah.The one you call Issa ,Yshua or Jesus is God the 2nd person of the trinity.You can't say in Koran that He was virgin born but not the Son of God and that he didn't die on the cross.That puts the scriptures at odds.Koran says Ishmael received the promise,Bible says it was Isaac.One's right one is not.

it doesn't matter what the word is that you use for God it matters what the character you put behind the word - Islam allah and Christianity's God cannot be the same God - one sent Jesus as His son and savior of the world the other says Jesus is nothing more then a prophet
this is a huge difference it is the basis of the Christian faith - without Jesus the son of God, not just some nice guy but the son of God that saves us you dont have Christianity and you dont have the same Father God
sorry a couple of similar words does not make a God the character does

Sheesh, is this long, or what?
The Aramaic word for God is Ellah or Elohim!
THe Arabic word for God is Allah!
God has 99 more names in Hebrew and Arabic!
So, what's your point?
That Christians and Muslims worship the same God?
For Heavens sake, God is One!
Like the one on top said Yahweh! He is!
So, cool down, already!

Just because allah translates to mean God, does not mean allah IS God. There have been many so called gods throughout history and they are not the God of The Holy Bible. The allah of the quran is a totally different being no matter how you try to sell it.
May God Bless you.

Allah is Muslim God, Islam God... Ishamael.
Ishamael is the son of Abraham and Abraham's God
is the same as Allah.
And so Christian, Muslim, and Jewish all believe in same GOD.

Nope, we dont. Allah is just another name for God, a different language, thats pretty much it. However, we dont believe in Allah/God the same WAY a Muslim does, if that makes sense.
