Jews, Christians and Muslims have the same God?

Question

Muslims believe in four books, Torah, Bible, Zabur and Quran.
Zabur (revealed to David)
Torah (reavealed to Moses)
Bible (revealed to Jesus)
Quran (revealed to Muhammad, the last prophet)
Historically, Quran came last so Muhammad is not mentioned in the previous holy books by name. Muslims believe in four holy books but follow the Quran cuz it hasn't been changed, unlike the former holy books.(Ever wonder why the Bible have so many versions)? Muslims have one holy book, Quran, and all the Qurans are same, and not one word has been changed if you compare. The father in Christianity is who Muslims call Allah but they don't believe Jesus is the son, but a holy prophet. The Quran gives preference to Jews and Christians and refers to them as "people of the book." and good ones go to heaven, just like good muslims. My point here is not to argue on religions, but that how many people here knew that Jews, Muslims, Christians have the same God and even same prophets?

Answer 1

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 2

Most Christians would disagree with this statement. Jesus was very specific in what He said about Himself: "The Father and I are One", "I came down from Heaven", and "I am God's son" are all quotes specific to Jesus.

There are many others. Mohammed's best arguement against the New Testament is that "the apostles somehow misunderstood Jesus" and that they "got it wrong".

If, then, Jesus is NOT the Messiah, the Christ, and the Son of God (as He claimed, and the apostles preached), then the entire New Testament is based on a LIE.

The New Testament and the Koran are mutually exclusive texts. Either NT is correct about Jesus, and the Koran is a lie, or the NT is a lie, and the Koran is correct. Both cannot co-exist, and be "both from God".

God would not contradict Himself, nor would He choose "one" set of holy scriptures for protection, and exclude the rest from corruption!

The New Testament and the Koran disagree on who Jesus is, and what Jesus did. Since both claim divine inspiration, but have conflicting messages, only one (at most) can be correct. That makes one inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the other, inspired by......hmmmmm?

Think about it. Demons can inspire things also! Especially lies: that is their speciality.

Answer 3

Only the Qur'an has never been changed?

How many versions of the Torah are there?

One.

I knew they think they all have the same G-d. Muslims and Jews do. Not so much the Xtians. Jews do not revere J*sus or Muhammad as a prophet, Xtians do not revere Muhammad as a prophet.

But for the most part, yes they are similar.

Answer 4

Yes, for the 1,000,001st time.

I have no clue what the "Zabur" is, and I studied religion for six years in college. The Bible, properly, refers to the Old and New Testament; the only thing revealed "by" (not "to") Jesus was the "Gospel", and that's actually about him.

The Bible has so many versions because they are "translations". While it is true there are variations in texts, it is because older and older copies are found and used by the new versions. The versions you speak of are not varieties of Bibles, but rather different translations of it. By your definition, I have three versions of the Qur'an: one translated by A.J. Arbury, one by Dawood, and one by A. Yusuf Ali. It's actually all the same Qur'an, just three different translations into English. Same thing as the Bible.

Answer 5

I believe all three worship the "God of Abraham". However Muslims don't believe in the trinity and do not believe Jesus was divine, but rather a human prophet.

There are more similarities, I think Moses and Noah appear in all three religions as well.

Answer 6

Dear Salma,

It's reasonable why you have thinking like that. Sometimes, i was thinking like u. But now i'm believe that one more Father and one more Son. The Father is Allah that u mention in muslim and the christians, and I believe to the Son is God Jesus is differential with another like Muhammad SWT. I agree that Muhammad SWT is more like a saint for me, same like Santo Petrus, Saint Mother Theresa. :p.

But it's depend on situation how people thinking, how people believe, and how people interacted with their religion's or believe....!!

I hope this can answer ur question. :P.

Answer 7

I can't speak for the Jews, but as far as I know Christians do believe that the three have the same God.

All three profess the same Abrahamic God. Now I don't know how the Muslims feel about the Trinity...

What happened to the time when the three could share a temple/church/mosque together?

Answer 8

Actually, to be accurate, no. Christians believe Jesus is god, not a prophet, as muslims do. Jews reject Jesus as either a god or a prophet.

Jew reject the muslim's interpretation of Allah as the same god as Yahweh. Christians reject Allah as their Jesus. Both christians and jews reject Mohammed as a prophet of god.

Answer 9

Allah is not God. Islam rejects the Biblical doctrines of the Trinity and the Deity of Christ. Jesus did miracles. Muhammad did not. Jesus was sinless. Muhammad sinned and needed forgiveness. Jesus was the Messiah, born of a virgin. Yet Muslims call Muhammad the greatest of the prophets.

Answer 10

there is only one God
and whether you believe in the one God or not
He is still alive and has always existed and will always continue to exist.
In different religions and cultures they refer to God as different things,
like in Islam we refer to God as Allah
In Christianity they refer to God as the trinity
and so on so forth.
but everyone wil have a future (Heaven or Hell) and that is up
to God's judgment.
