Do the monotheists called Muslims and the Christians worship the same God? If so, what is the fight for?

Answer 1

The fight is deep rooted in the story of legitimacy of Ismail as mentioned in the Genesis in the Old Testament. God is one and they only call by different names because of the language in which the respective scripts are written. If one stretches the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ismail and Issac and tries to testify in the present day scale of values, one will find that Ismail fathered all the children of whom the present Arabs are the descendants from his own mother Hagar who was a slave from Egypt brought by Sarah the legitimate wife of Abraham. But are the Muslims prepared to mouth these analysis?

The Jews look down up on the Arab race because of this background and the Christians also follow the Old Testament whose first five Books are same for the Jews.

Answer 2

Not always. Some Christians are Trinitarians which means that they are not monotheists. Monotheists believe that God is ONE and that His nature of Oneness is indivisible. He has no parts nor part-ners. Therefore, those
Christians WHO believe in the Trinity do not believe in the same God as the Muslims.Nor does Muslims believe that God is a man. and that no type of Image should be made of Him. We say "Him" referring to God because all legitimate scripture refer to God in the masculine gender. Is that sexual bias? Maybe so but I will never stop referring to God as "Him" until He stops referring to Himself that way. So yes, some Christians and Muslims worship the same God but not all. And the fight has NOTHING to do with God. It has everything to do with greed and who will control the world. So it is all stupid and useless

Answer 3

The Muslim's Allah is not the Christian's God.

"Muslims claim that the name Allah can be found in the Bible. This is no different than what the Jehovah's Witnesses do for the name Jehovah. Allah is not called Yahweh once in the Koran but neither is Yahweh called Allah in the Bible. So they can't be the same God. Neither is the word Elohim which is applied to Yahweh over 2,500 times in the Bible used in the Koran. Neither is he called I Am, which He said to Moses would be His name forever.

The God of the Bible identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacobs name is later changed to the name Israel, being the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. The God of the Bible calls Jerusalem the city of David and that the Messiah would descend from his lineage. Neither does the God of the Bible does not mention Mecca or Medina but instead Jerusalem 800 times. Yet Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran, which the Muslim claims as there own.

The God in the Bible is called the God of the Jews, an impossibility with Allah. They are called his chosen people, but they are not Allah's chosen. Allah commands the Muslim to not take the Jews or Christians as friends, Sura.5:51 disdains the Jews. Mohammed said, “The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721, 810-11, 1130). So how could Israel inherit the land or any of God's promises from Allah, if he is their God. Clearly he is not the same God of the Bible.

Muslims trying to prove their position from the Bible point to the Old Testament with the word alleluyah, interpreting the first portion of the word alle as Allah. The word [H]alleluyah is not a compound Hebrew word. It is not two words but a singular word meaning praise to Yahweh. (alle- praise, lu-to, yah-Yaweh). The beginning of the word is Hallel meaning praise. This has nothing to do with an Allah, and the last syllable of the word is a reference to Yahweh the God of the Bible, this is hardly any evidence for their assertions. They are also confusing Aramaic with Arabic. This is not unusual, as Muslims will often take words and meanings set in another language and culture and adopt them for proof of their own book or religion.

This word play only gets more ludicrous as they try to have Jesus saying the name of their God. When Jesus was on the cross they claim when he cried out Eli, Eli it was really is Allah, Allah. The New Testament was written in Greek, however it points us to him speaking the Aramaic language, not Arabic. Jesus was quoting Psalm 22:1 which read in full says, Eli, Eli Sabbathani “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.” What makes even less sense for this position is the fact that they don't believe that it was Jesus on the cross in the first place, but that another took His place. Some think it was Judas; so it was Judas crying out Allah, Allah?

The first Arabic translation of the Bible was made about the 9th century. Nowhere is the name of Allah found in the Old or New Testament. When Islam became the dominant political force people were coerced to use the name Allah for God or suffer the consequences from the hands of militant Muslims. Because of Islam's dominance Allah became the common name of God. The translators of the Bible gave in to the religious pressures and substituted Allah for Yahweh in the Arabic Bibles, but this is not the name of the God of the Hebrews, nor of the creator who made heaven and earth because of its source in paganism. His nature and attributes have only a few basic similarities and many more differences. And the most important point is that all through the Qu'ran it says Allah has no son."

Answer 4

The muslim God, Allah, is not the same as the Christian/ Jewish God. In the bible, God is the I AM, the God of JACOB, YHWY. The bible and the quran contradict each other, you must believe in one or the other. The quran is from one single illiterate prophet born from pagan Mecca who never worshipped the God of Jacob and the bible is a collection of books written by prophets and holy men who knew God and could hear God directly.
Which fight are you speaking of? Who the land of Isreal belongs to? the Jews are the owners.

Answer 5

Muslims say they worship the same God of Christians and Jews, but they reject that God has three natures, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They think Jesus is just a prophet.

Answer 6

"Worship the comparable God"? Why do you think of that's the comparable God? you're of course no longer a Christian, Muslim or Jew. Or, while you're, you recognize no longer something approximately the two your man or woman or different peoples' religions. problem-unfastened - the Jewish God says "a look ahead to a watch, a the enamel for a the enamel"; the Christian God says "turn the different cheek"; the Muslim God says "combat people who combat you". those are in reality distinctive. the type you get salvation; a thank you to stay your existence; what's sweet and undesirable. problem-unfastened questions like that are in reality distinctive. in step with danger you think of of God as some hazy different-dimensional kindly discern, who does not truly intervene and does not have strict regulations approximately a thank you to stay your existence. that's wonderful and intensely 60s, even if that's not the God of the Jews, the Christians OR the Muslims. You define God as "single" (purely by skill of a stretch of the mind's eye with Christians) "all useful" "all-powerful" (those are the comparable) and omnipresent: study the story of job interior the Bible - that may no longer an all-powerful, omnipresent nor omniscient God. "merciful" "revengeful" (what's that be conscious?!) - even on your question, those are contradictory.

Answer 7

The Muslims say that we do not. They think Christians have 3 gods. The Christians say that we don't worship Allah. And the Muslims say that we worship Jesus as God and that is blasphemy to them.

Answer 8

No.

Muslims worship (proper name:)"Allah" and a fellow named Mohammed.

Christians worship (proper name) Jehovah and the incarnate God/Messiah (proper name) Jesus.


Many people who have little knowlege of the conflicts will claim that the 2 worship the same God (often stated "they both worship the God of Abraham").

Muslims do not realize that Abraham served Jehovah not Allah, which records of him state quite plainly. Mohammed (founder of Islam) simply took the Old Testament and added his own ideas (after changing some names). Essentially Islam is a pirated religion.

Answer 9

The argument comes when Jesus enters the equation. Either Jesus was or wasn't the Son of God through whom we are saved. Jesus said he is the way, truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him. The question for all people is not, do you believe in God? but rather is Jesus the Way to God? Muslims would say no, Christians would say yes.

Answer 10

The Muslims have the same books as Christians, plus the teachings of Mohammad, who they believed was the last prophet. They also don't think Jesus was the son of God, but respect him as a prophet. This upsets the Christians.
