is allah the same as god or jehovah?

Answer 1

Concept of Allah The God
1. Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allâh (SWT), (the) One. The Self-Sufficient Master, (Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks) He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. (Quran Chapter 112)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

Answer 2

To be honest, I do not know who allah or any other god is. My focus is on God the Father of Jesus. Non Christian Arabs will tell you that allah is the same as God. Neverthe less, if you were to ask is Jesus the son of allah, they will say no! Then allah is not my God, and allah is not the same as God.

Christian Arabs will be the first to tell you that allah is not God and that it does not mean the same. There is actually a word for God, but muslims do not use it. The whole idea is to get non-muslims to believe that allah is their god.

If Jesus is not the Son of your God, then you and I do not have the same God.

Answer 3

If there is one God, and Allah is him, then yes.

There are a myriad of arguments for or against God / Allah / Jesus. However, there's no direct evidence either way. To me, it's necessary to define what you mean by "God" to begin with. For most of us, that means a God defined by a religion.

And that's where the problems start . . . at least for the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). For the remainder of this answer, any mention of "religion" means "Abrahamic religion" for short.

Religion tries to lay claim to God. This insistence on exclusivity sets up religions for contention unless or until they convert the entire world – thereby eliminating the competition. This is why, I believe, these religions await the end-time when God will finally do the eliminating.

It's a forgone conclusion that no single religion (much less, denomination!) will win the world on its own. After all, they've had between 1,400 and 3,500 years (Islam and Judaism, respectively) to do so and haven't made any real progress. Christianity, with over 2 billion adherents, leads the pack but Islam, at 1.3 billion, is coming on strong (again). Despite being many centuries older than Christianity or Islam, Judaism has only 14 million adherents. If ANY religion truly is THE right one, I don't believe the competition would have survived this long.

Given all this . . . how are we supposed to decide which religion, if any, is right? The first one? The biggest one? The most sophisticated one? The most realistic one? What? The competition reduces our choice to a roll of the dice. And why would we go to hell for choosing the wrong one? It's ridiculous. Can God really be so sadistic? And if so, why would you worship him?

No . . .

NO religion can be valid if God exists AND is good. Any entity who could create the universe, would not be so petty as to set up his "intelligent" beings for condemnation. Why would the Creator give us free choice, only to confuse the choice of Creator? I say that if God exists, ALL religions are heretical. If God is good, we wouldn't be killing each other in His name. In the paraphrased words of Stephen Roberts:

"I contend that we are both anti-religion. I just believe in one fewer religion than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible religions, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

Oh yes . . . and forget about "Original Sin". It's the biggest lie in the bible and the foundation for many lies that follow. I am no more accountable for Eve than I am Hillary Clinton or for you.

If God exists I believe he’s a cosmic God, not a personal God; a creator, not a meddler. Whichever he is (if he is at all) I'm certain that NO religion is valid.

Answer 4

I don't care if it's the same big guy or not. You have different names and each group has it's holy speak and all of you kill for God both Christian and Muslim alike. When people are dying without cause is the validation you seek of any real importance? If no one agrees it's the same will you not continue to believe as you have. I see this same stupid question on Y!A at least five times a night. My answer from now on is why would anyone care.

Answer 5

We all have the same God

The foundation of Islamic teaching begins with God, whom Muslims call 'Allah'. The name Allah comes from the Arabic language and literally means the one and only God, as opposed to any old god with a small 'g'.

The Qur'an itself declares that Allah is the same God that spoke to the Jews and Christians. Therefore, when Muslims speak about God, they have in mind that it is the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Even Arab Christians, who speak the Arabic language, say 'Allah' when they talk about God. (the Spanish word for God is Dios, yet nobody makes the claim that it is a different God!)

The Qur'an states in this way:

"Tell (the Jews and Christians), 'We believe in the revelation which has come down to us {the Qur'an} and in that which came down to you {the Torah and Gospel}; Our God and your God is one; and it's to Him we surrender" (Qur'an 29:46)

Muslims prefer to use the name 'Allah' no matter what language is being spoken. This is because the proper name for the supreme deity cannot be made plural or altered in any way grammatically in Arabic.

Answer 6

Allah is a god, but not the same as the God of the Bible.

Answer 7

I wish someone would answer this for me, but I heard that Muhammad said that the name of God was in the book of Job and at the verse specified, it had the name Jehovah. One third of the world believes in the Bible. Allah of course means God, but God always spoke to non Jews and Christians as well such as Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus the Great, calling him His anointed and prefiguring Christ, so where's the beef. A rose by any other name, but of course you would want consensus for a peaceful world. One name, for unity and peace, was the point, not division. Oh, how barbaric we are. In the genealogy at the beginning of the book of Luke it says, Adam, son of God. We are all godlike or sons, great grandson, as that's what the Hebrew world means, in English progeny of God.

Answer 8

That depends on what you accept as being "God" or "Jehovah".

Muslims claim that Allah, which simply means God (and is nearly exactly the same as what people in Jesus' time called God), is the same God that gave prophesy to Moses and Jesus.

Jesus never heard the word "god" or "jehovah", what he would of known would have been Ela and YHWH; Islam ignores YHWH and sticks with plain old Ela (Allah or Alloha, depending on pronunciation).

In answer to your question, it really depends on your prior DEFINITION of God, I repeat, muslims claim to adhere to the same God, but Christians have widely divergent concepts of God so it is hard to concur with them on an acceptable definition.

Answer 9

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscent of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.

It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.

If we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Answer 10

Allah translates into God, personally I believe that the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian God are all the same thing.
