Allah and God are the same. Why are people seperating them n distincitioning em?

Question

Why is it you think that Allah n God are 2 different god's, there both the same whether we call him Jevah(like the jew's do) or Barhama like hindus would so the muslim name for God is Allah. This is the ignorance.

Islam which is the first religion n the truth, the word Islam is an arabic word means submit. we all worship the same God wether a Jew, Christian or Muslim . Allah is the arabic word for God, so Allah is God, This is what we call God, which is used by most muslim's and non-muslim arab's, just like the jew's call God Jevah, and the Hindus call him Bahrama, i think they do(hindus).

Answer 1

Because everybody believes that his/her way of worshiping Him is the right and only way of doing so.

Answer 2

Jevah? Jehovah you mean.

btw, you'll never get a non-muslim to believe Islam was the first true religion. the Jews had there religion since about 1600 B.C. then Christianity came along in 30 A.D. then in 610 A.D, Muhammed comes and says 4000 years of Jewsih history is incorrect and that he's the last prophet of God. Muhammed claimed he was given a book by an angel, his friends wrote it down, and he was the holiest man according to God (and we have record of his life). now give me a reason to believe Muhammed.

ignorance is believing Christianity is wrong without actually exploring it. the Septuagint manuscripts state that an idol is backed up with a demon. what is an idol? something that stands in the stead of the Lord. did Allah claim to be the I AM? in Hebrew tradition, the devil has always wanted God's spot. anyone who says they're God and doesn't line up is considered a fake, even demonic. so excuse me for viewing Islam skeptically.

Hinduism has many deities. there's 3 main ones who are supposed to act as God. however, if you believe all religions are correct, you believe Christianity is false. according to the Biblical God, there are no other deities. all others are fakes or fashionings of human hands.

ignorance is calling God a liar

Answer 3

Some people don't seem to understand that there is only ONE God, no more, no less. The only difference is the names that people call God by. People don't understand that Allah is NOT a different God, rather Allah is THE ONE & ONLY God, the same God as Christianity, Judaism and the Heavens and Earth. Allah is simply the Arabic name of God.

Answer 4

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 5

They Not the Same.
Could God’s name be “Allah”? No. As a good dictionary will show you, “Allah” is a shortened form of the Arabic term meaning “the god.” Obviously, this is not a name.

How about “Lord”? That is not a name either. “There are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords,’ ” says the Bible. (1 Cor. 8:5) The Spanish word for “Lord,” used frequently in Spanish versions of the Bible, is Señor, which usually means “mister” or “sir.” How could that possibly be a personal, exclusive name for the Supreme Being?
The name “Jehovah” is found in numerous writings and in many places. But the principal source of the name is in ancient Hebrew writings contained in the Bible. You may say, ‘Well, I have never seen that name in my Bible.’ It is true that some Bibles do not use God’s name. But remember that what we have in our Bibles are translations, and translators vary in their renderings of the original text. That happens not only with the Bible but also with any book or article that is translated by different people.

Answer 6

The funny thing about most Christians is they never research,real research.Just to start the ignorance here is thinking that Bra man and Yhwy(real Hebrew) are the same being.Go do some research before you start calling people (who are right) names.Normally I'd write about what books or cultures to look up,,,,but in this case ANY would be helpful.What are you gonna say next Bud ah is Muhammad's illegitimate son.That's all I can only get worse from here,PLEASE,PLEASE go learn something before offering opinions that insult all three of those religions.I often insult religion but I spent years researching to get to the opinions I have.

Answer 7

Allah and Jehovah, YHWH, Yahweh are in no way the same. Islam has only been around since the mid 600's AD (1400 years ago). Islam is a product of Muhammed and not. Allah was the pagan moon god. Islam means submit...submit to the Islam religion or die.

Answer 8

Allah is arabic for Almighty God. Jehovah's Witnesses, like Muslims beleive that ther's only one true God, they call him Jehovah.
Other Christian religions think that Jesus Christ is God. Muslims beleive that Jesus Christ was a normal prophet like Moses. Jehovah Witnesses beleive that Jesus Christ is God's (Jehovah) son. Hense they don't pray to Jesus, instead they pray to Jehovah, through Jesus Christ.
Hindus have many God's. They claim that baby Krishna is Jesus Christ (no comments).
I get confused about the Hindu religion because they have many gods.

My beliefs are neutral. Coming from a religiously divided home i.e. Father is Muslim, Mother is Roman Catholic, Grandparents are Hindus, Aunts and Uncles are Twelve Tribe, Penticostal and Baptiste. I don't know which religion to follow.

So I think no religion is the best religion.
Thers is only one true God. Call him what you may.

Answer 9

My misguided friend....The Muslim religion itself did not even BEGIN until 600 years after Jesus walked the earth. The prophet Muhammed or Mohammed (sp?) was not even born until the early 630 AD time frame. The Quran was not written until after he was born so HOW is Islam the original religion? We all do NOT serve the same God. Our translation for the Word God is different and all refer to the God that we serve, however Hindus, Buddists, Muslims, none of them have the same beliefs so therefore can NOT worship the same God. There is one God and Father of all, above all, through all and in all. One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. Jesus is the Truth the Way and the Life, and NO MAN comes to the Father EXCEPT by Him (Jesus). I pray for your understanding and your enlightenment.

Answer 10

Because they are two different God's. One is Jehovah God of the Bible who all men can only be saved by, and then there are many little "g" gods that Satan has created and blind men hurry to follow. Give me a break, Islam did not exist until after Jesus Christ. Scripture warns very clearly about calling bitter sweet and sweet bitter, about taking away from God's Word and replacing it with lies and deceit. If you do not serve the Lord Jesus, then you are an enemy of the cross...therefore your god is not my God. To insinuate so is to reap God's wrath upon your head.

Answer 11

Allah and Yahweh are 'one God' concepts but aren't the same idea. There are many areas of character that are the same; mohammed learnt from Jewish tribes, and also his angelic source taught him some abrahamic ideas of God.

Certainly we christians have the concept of the Trinity, and would think we understand love of God very much better than is possible in Islam. This through Christ's sacrifice and the power of the Holy Spirit teaching us and letting us taste of eternal things.

I think the real God has manifested Himself through the Jewish and christian scriptures, and is also known in christians' lives. A partly-correct concept is available from Mohammed, imo. (I don't think his angel was one of God's since he contradicted vital elements of existing revelation.)
