People mistake ALLAH as a different god than the one of jews and christians. ALLAH is just the arabic word for god. as is THEOS in greek. YAWEH in hebrew. ALLAH is the god of Abraham (peace be on him). so it is the same god in all 3 monotheistic religions.

Neither god is real, so it doesn't matter. Catholics and Protestants believe in the same god, yet they also kill each other. It's religion in general that's the problem, not any specific one or subdivision of one.

I do not disagree with the translation of the word, what I disagree with is the way in which the two are portrayed. There is a HUGE difference between the two. This is why I personally believe that Allah of the Quran is not the same as God of the Holy Bible and Torah. Sorry, but I disagree with you.
Having said that, I do agree that all three faiths come from Abraham. They do split though at the time of Ishmael and Isaac. We know the story, and the Christian and Jewish Bible and Torah agree it was Isaac to be sacrificed, while the Muslim believe it was to be Ismael. This is where the faiths split in beliefs, one being a lie planted by Satan, the other being truth of God. From there, many other lies planted by Satan flourish. I am sure you can guess which I believe to be truth and which I believe to be a lie. Sorry, again I disagree with you.
Most importantly, Muslim and Christian disagree about the Deity of Christ Jesus, as does Christianity and most Jewish disagree. The difference is that the Bible tells us that this disagreement would be with the Christians and with the Jewish, so I believe what the Bible says about the Jewish will know their Messiah (Jesus) at the time of the Tribulation and they will once again rise, as they are God's chosen people who hold a special place with God and also hold a special purpose with God. So, I am sure again, sorry, we disagree.

Allah and yahweh do not sound alike, those names are as to the reply of some of the individuals right here approximately yahweh and Allah now not sounding the identical neither does Moses and Musa Jesus and Issa Jonah and Yunus John and yahya Al-Rahman and The Mercyful The Forgiver and Al-Ghafoor The Bible and the Quran Was no change among them as soon as upon a time When the Bible used to be natural then the Bible used to be converted many matters taken out many matters converted into anything else Then God despatched his final messenger Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him and his household with the Quran to exhibit what used to be converted within the Bible. The Quran is natural and untainted until nowadays and can certainly not be converted. If any one is searching for the entire reality and not anything however the reality, learn the Quran You will see God bless

Yes, Allah, is the same God as the God of Jews and Christians. However, we Christians believe that God is Triune, unlike Jews and Muslims.

Did you know the God of The Old Testament is the Father of or Lord Jesus Christ? Did you know that the Old Testament sacrifices fortold the sacrifice of The Lamb Of God?
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father The Prince of Peace.Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of The Lord Of Hosts will perform this ( Isiah 9:6-7)
FULFILLMENT
He shall be great,and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of His Father David. And He shall reighn over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end.(Luke 1:32,33)
Prophesies fullfilled by Christ:
Genesis 3:15- 1st John 3:8
Genesis 12:3- Matthew1:1
Genesis 17:19- Luke 3: 23,24
Genesis 49:10- Luke 3:33
Isaiah 9:1.2- Matthew4:13-16
Micah 5:2- Luke 2:4-7
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel -( Islam says that God has no son. Not the same God.)
God bless!!

Indeed. That's correct.
What's complex though, is why he (God) kept changing his mind about things - Yaweh has no human aspect in the Old Testament and isn't interested in anyone but the Jews, God the Father has a Son in the New Testament, breaks all the laws of the Old Testament and urges Love rather than the Law, then Allah insists that he DOESN'T have a Son, has no human aspect and urges the Law again rather than Love.
And THEN if it is all one God why didn't he put in clauses to encourage Jews, Christians and Muslims to not be at each others' throats all the time?
Mystifying. :-)

No allah is not the God of the bible. If "allah" were the God of the bible, he would have a son, Jesus, who died on the cross, rose again, and is the only way to salvation.
Islam denies (1) allah has a son (2) Jesus died on the cross and (3) Jesus is the only name under heaven by which anyone might be saved.
Therefore, they are obviously not one and the same.

I understand that Islam claims Abrahamic roots just like Judaism and Christianity but the god of Islam has a completely different nature. How do you as a Muslim explain the differences in teaching? For example, the God the God of Christians and Jews teaches love above all things and forbids vengeance. The god of Islam encourages hatred and orders vengeance. There is no teaching in Islam for one to love their enemies but Christians are commanded to do so.

Yes, Christians know that we supposedly worship the same God, but we Christians know that there are NO similarities..period. We know "the God of Islam" has nothing to do with God of the Bible.

We serve two different gods. Your religion is a religion that leads away from God and Bible leads you to God. Your religion says you can not and the God of the Bible says you should not. The God of the Bible is able to both free you from sin and to show you how to live free from sin.
Can your Allah do this? Can your Koran show you how to do this?

So...Allah has three persons and one substance? Allah sent His Son down on earth as a Judaic blood atonement for my sins? Allah consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost (Matthew 28:18-20, John 1)
I disagree with you and your prophet, Muhammed, my friend.
