Who is ALLAH ? is He the same as God of Christians and Jews?

Question

When Muslims talk about God, we automatically think of Allah.
Allah is the Arabic word for “The one true God”.

He is the Creator who created the universe, mankind and all
The other forms of life. He is the one who regulates all that
Happens in the universe.
Allah is unique and He has no partners. Does not Father nor is Born.
He is the same as God of the Christians and Jews.
Arab Christians and Jews call the Deity ALLAH as well.

The word Allah exists in the Arabic Christian Bible six times
In only the first paragraph and 15 times in the 1st page.

But the word God is not the accurate translation because there may
Be a Greek god a female goddess …But Allah is the one and
Only true God.

Answer 1

allah is a pagan figure who was originally the moon god, whom mohamad chose from among the pagan gods. if you dont get it, look at the cresent on mosques, need i explain more? or check up the internet, do help yourself get the facts clear.

You can choose to name the pagan god as "God" literally, but that doesnt mean your allah is God. God in the Bible never called Himself Allah, please do not preach the wrong doctrine.

Mohamad, the one who slept with the 9 yrs old and recorded that in the quran, called Allah by that name, so its up to you to believe him, or believe the truth that has endured thousands of years and eternity to come.

Answer 2

Islam did not come from a concept of a "moon god". The word "ALLAH" simply means "the God". It is basically "AL" and "ILLA" combined. "AL" in Arabic means "the" and "ILLA" means "God". So it is "The God". This word comes from the original (Jesus' language) Aramaic. The word in Aramaic is "EL".

As far as the story of the moon god is concerned, yes there were many gods that the pagans worshiped in the Arabian Desert. The word "Allah" may have been used by pagans also (since it only means "god"), after all, it was the prophet Abraham who started the worship of the One God. Here is what the Quran says about what to worship and what not to worship:

And among His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; and prostrate to Allah Who created them, if Him it is that you serve. (Quran 41:37)

And He has made subservient to you the sun and the moon pursuing their courses, and He has made subservient to you the night and the day. (Quran 14:33)

If Allah was the moon god why whould he tell you not to worship the sun and the moon?

Answer 3

Muslims seem to have got part truths in their faith. They say that Jesus is just a prophet which is wrong for he is the son of God. They say that it was Ishmael not Isaac that was almost sacrificed by Abraham. They do indeed accuse people of having changed the Bible but the Dead Sea Scrolls proved that a nonsense as the book of Isaiah and the part of Genesis found is the same. They fail to remember that the Bible Scriptures were written hundreds of years before Mohamed was even thought of. Mohamed is said not to have been able to read or write for himself so perhaps that is the problem if not it is even more serious if he purposely caused incorrect things to be written down. He seems to have married a young girl who was too young, which isn't a good example. It should, as you say, be the same God but the message has since been distorted.

Answer 4

Allah in Arabic means God. but, God that Muslims worship is not the God of bible. Is a different God.


Mohamd shows them the way. Jesus said I am the way.

Answer 5

I THINK it's the same.You guys (Judaism,Christianity & Muslims) are inter-related.From Judaism's call for ONE GOD, came Christianity, with Jesus proclaiming himself the Mesiah and abolishing the blood offering.. and lastly Islam came with Mohammad proclaiming himself the last prophet.The theme central to these religions is still ONE GOD.

Notice the same qualities ascribed to their concept of GOD : ONE TRUE GOD, Omnipotent, Creator, etc.

I also think that Hindu Brahma, Chinese Tao, and other native religions' concept of THE ALMIGHTHY belong to this category of GOD.

To me, it doesn't matter if God is the ONE, or he has many divine beings under him. There's absolutely nothing wrong with varying views regarding God : Monotheistic or Polytheistic.

There's something wrong if you're some form of theistic but commit henious hate crimes in the name of your theistic!

Answer 6

Muslims will say he is the same god, but not even close. Allah was a pagan moon god and muhammed decided to worship him.
Islam is evil.

Answer 7

Allah does not exist. He was invented hundreds of years after the Christians invented their fictional God.

Answer 8

"I Am who I Am"


Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you', and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you'. . . this is my name for ever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations."10

206 In revealing his mysterious name, YHWH ("I AM HE WHO IS", "I AM WHO AM" or "I AM WHO I AM"), God says who he is and by what name he is to be called. This divine name is mysterious just as God is mystery. It is at once a name revealed and something like the refusal of a name, and hence it better expresses God as what he is - infinitely above everything that we can understand or say: he is the "hidden God", his name is ineffable, and he is the God who makes himself close to men.11

207 By revealing his name God at the same time reveals his faithfulness which is from everlasting to everlasting, valid for the past ("I am the God of your father"), as for the future ("I will be with you").12 God, who reveals his name as "I AM", reveals himself as the God who is always there, present to his people in order to save them.

208 Faced with God's fascinating and mysterious presence, man discovers his own insignificance. Before the burning bush, Moses takes off his sandals and veils his face in the presence of God's holiness.13 Before the glory of the thrice-holy God, Isaiah cries out: "Woe is me! I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips."14 Before the divine signs wrought by Jesus, Peter exclaims: "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord."15 But because God is holy, he can forgive the man who realizes that he is a sinner before him: "I will not execute my fierce anger. . . for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst."16 The apostle John says likewise: "We shall. . . reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything."17

209 Out of respect for the holiness of God, the people of Israel do not pronounce his name. In the reading of Sacred Scripture, the revealed name (YHWH) is replaced by the divine title "LORD" (in Hebrew Adonai, in Greek Kyrios). It is under this title that the divinity of Jesus will be acclaimed: "Jesus is LORD."
