do Muslims worship a different God?

Question

http://www.muslim-answers.org/Introducing-Islam/miscons.htm

First of all, there is only One God who created the Universe and all of mankind. Throughout history, people have created false gods in their minds and come up with false ideas about Almighty God, but regardless of this there is still only One True God - and He alone is worthy of worship. Unfortunately, some non-Muslims have come to incorrectly believe that Muslims worship a different God than Jews and Christians. This might be due to the fact that Muslims sometimes refer to God as "Allah", but also because over the centuries there have been many lies and distortions spread by the enemies of Islam. In actuality, Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus --- the same God as Christians and Jews. The word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God and it is the same word that Arabic speaking Christians and Jews use to refer to God. If you pick up an Arabic translation of the Christian Bible, you will see the word "Allah" where "God" is used in English. For more information on the word "Allah", please read: Who is Allah? But even though Muslims, Jews and Christians believe in the same God, their concepts about Him differ quite a bit. For example, Muslims reject the idea of the Trinity or that God has become "incarnate" in the world. Also, the teachings of Islam do not rely on or appeal to "mystery" or "paradox" --- they are straightforward and clear. Islam teaches that God is Merciful, Loving and Compassionate and that He has no need to become man (nor do humans need for Him to). One of the unique aspects of Islam is that it teaches that man can have a personal and fulfilling relationship with Almighty God without compromising the transcendence of God. In Islam there is no ambiguity in Divinity --- God is God and man is man. Muslims believe that God is the "Most Merciful", and that he deals directly with human-beings without the need of any intermediary. Actually, the phrase "In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful" is one of the most repeated verses in the Holy Qur'an. Additionally, the pure and straightforward teachings of Islam demand that Almighty God be approached directly and without intermediaries. This is because Muslims believe that God is completely in control of everything and that He can bestow His Grace and Mercy on His creatures as He pleases - no Atonement, Incarnation or blood sacrifice is necessary. In summary, Islam calls people to submit to the One True God and to worship Him alone.

Answer 2

Allah is not the triune God of Christianity, nor is Jesus considered the son of God or the second Person of the Trinity by Muslims. Therefore, the Christian concept of God and the Muslim concept of God are not at all compatible. I have links at the first site below that detail the differences.

Answer 3

Sister, May Allah Bless You People have been brainwashed to think that Muslims worship different God/Gods. Unfortunately, most of them don't read quran and the teachings of Islam and try to understand. To the Christians -- If you don't want to read the Quran.. Read the Old Testaments ... it says "GOD is One and Only". May God Bless You All and Guide You!

Answer 4

As a committed Christian, Iagree that Allah & God are the same. Where I differ is the concept of salvation and foregiveness for sin. Christ died for our sins, as the only perfect man (Son of God) and opened the way for people to have a close relatonship with God as our loving Father. This is because God is perfect, and we imperfect beings could not exist in His Presence. (think matter/antimatter). The blood of Jesus makes this possible.

Answer 5

We pray to Allah s.w.t, the One & Only God Almighty, and Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is Allah's Messenger...
