God in Islam is not a fella. Fella is referred to a human and God can not be human according to Islam. But yes the God who created the Muslims is the same God who created the christains and the Jews and all other people and universe.

Islam reveres the One and Only God, known as Allah (الله) in Arabic. The Islamic belief is that God is the "only creator and master of the universe". The main fundamental creed (shahadah) of Islam is "There is no god but (one) God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God". Muslims believe that Allah is the same deity as God of Christians and Jews. However, many Christians and Jews reject this muslims belief, believing that Allah, the god of the Qur'an, is not the same god as Yahweh, the God of the Bible. Many Christians point to the belief that Jesus is one of the Trinity or is divine, and hence contradicts muslim concept of God.

Allah is the personal name of God [1] used by Arabic speakers, irrespective of their religion. However, Arab Christians and Jews use Allah to mean nothing more than the word God. Consequently, the word is used in Arabic translations of Tanakh and the Gospels (the Old and New Testaments), as well as in Indonesian and old Turkish translations of the Bible. Arabic speakers of all faiths whether Jews, Christians or Muslims use the word "Allah" to mean "God".

Well, the 'God of Islam' is One; Eternal, was not given birth to in a stable, and there is nothing in this world like Him.

Only if the the 'Christian God' fits this description can they be the same. Cos these qualities are essential for the Creator of the universe.

No.

Mohammed borrowed from the Christian and Jewish stories when inventing his god, and The Christians borrowed only from the Jews. So the three are similar, but not identical.

The Jewish god is angry and violent and punishes and rewards people here on Earth for their actions during their lifetimes. There is no mention of immortal souls or afterlives except for one or two rare exceptions.

The Christian god is a pantheon of three, with one being a real nice guy who will forgive you for just about anything and immortality for everyone.

Mohammed's god kept the immortal souls, elaborated on hell, and grants admission to heaven only to those who dilligently keep to his laws.

Technically yes, Islam and Christianity believe in the same God, however thats where the resembalence ends,
After that differences appear, such as :

- Christians believe Jesus was the son of God
-Muslims believe he was one of the prophets sent by God.

Very much yes although Christians and Muslims have different understanding of God or Allah.
That is why it is a shame that Christians and Muslims as believers in the one Supreme Being we call God or Allah fight and destroy one another instead of loving and helping one another.

I don't know Islam faith, but what I do know about all religions is, If they teach One God, love, peace, sharing, and caring. Then they will be in Heaven when they die, if they follow the laws and rules of that religion. Killing and destruction is wrong in any true religion. To be a true marter, you must die at the hands of a non believer, not by your own hand, that is suicide, which is sin and punishable by God in the lake of fire.

technically yes. Which is funny, that if both religions serve the same god, but each religion is very different from the other, and both religions have different denominations or sects, how do you know which one is the true path to god? Its like god is the goblin king at the end of the labyrinth and no one knows how to get to the castle.

Understanding God, Existence of God

In this world, many beliefs exist about God. As a result, people understand God in their own way and often in their own imagination. But what is required is the understanding God as He is, what He is and how He is. The correct understanding about God has to be given by God Himself!

There are some who don't believe in the existence of God, often the reason being His existence cannot be proved like that of human beings. But because we cannot see God with the gross eyes, it doesn't mean that God doesn't exist. Just like wind, which cannot be seen but can be very much felt, it is possible to experience God's presence through Godly knowledge and meditation.

Who is God and what is His form and name?

We shall now try to understand who God or the Supreme Soul is. The term 'Supreme Soul' means He is supreme among all souls. It implies that, He is also 'a soul', though He is the Highest of all. He is above birth and death. God is the Supreme Father-Mother, Supreme teacher and Supreme Preceptor to all the human beings and He himself has no father-mother, teacher and preceptor.

God is a subtle, infinitesimal point of Light. He is not visible to the naked eye but it is very much possible to experience His presence and proximity in meditation. He is incorporeal in the sense that he does not have a body of his own. He is not a human being nor does He have a human form. He is immune to pleasure and pain unlike human beings.

Names are a means of identification of human beings after they are born. They do not speak of qualities and actions of the person; they are simply proper nouns and are not attributive names. But the name of the supreme soul or God is based on His qualities and actions. His self-revealed name is 'Shiva'. 'Shiva' means doer of good or benefactor. God does good to all and therefore He is called Shiva. All souls ask for salvation and beatitude i.e. peace and happiness from Him. People remember Him by many other expressive names.

His Virtues

God is the Supreme Father of all. He is called the creator. He is oceanic in his virtues - the ocean of peace, the ocean of love, the ocean of bliss, the ocean of knowledge, the ocean of happiness, the ocean of mercy, etc. He is the truth. He is the Almighty and Authority. He is reputed to be the preserver or sustainer of virtues and the destroyer of all evils. He is also the liberator, the guide, and the bestower of salvation, therefore the sadguru. He dispels sorrow, bestows joy. God is perfect in all ways and absolutely detached and loving. He is very benevolent and helpful and so souls ask all things of him. When in sorrow and losing all hope, souls turn to him intuitively and inevitably.

Many are the religions and paths that souls take in their quest for reaching God. Many wars have been waged in his name. However, he does not exclusively belong to anyone. He belongs to everyone equally.

The Supreme Father of all Souls

God is the father of all souls in this world. It is observed that all religions have images, idols or memorials bearing one name or another to represent the form of Light that God is. All over India, the images of the form that Shiva has is found installed; these images are without any human form, in the form of linga, which is the symbol of an incorporeal Being. At Mecca, in the holy place of Kaaba, a stone image with oval form is called "Sang-e-Aswad". The devotes who go for Haj kiss this holy stone. Jesus Christ said, "God is Light". Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism also sang the praise of Him who is 'All-Light' ( ek Omkar) and is incorporeal. In olden days, the Jews held a stone of this shape in their hands while taking a solemn oath and it is believed that Moses had vision of this form of God when he saw a flame behind the bush. The Zoroastrians worship God as fire. The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun as god. A Buddhist sect in Japan focuses the mind on a small oval shape. They call it Karni, the peace giver.

It seems therefore that human beings, without realizing, have all been worshipping and trying to discover the same God. There is only one God and His form is a point of light. He is called by different names in different religions.

The Divine Abode of God

Where does God live? Is there somewhere one can go to see Him, to be with Him? God is a subtle point of light, and He does not pervade the physical universe. Nor does he live in the heart of any human being or in any matter. Neither is He omnipresent; nor is He having a human form. His home is the incorporeal world, an infinite expanse of golden-red light, which is beyond this physical world we live. It is the original abode of all souls as well. The incorporeal world is known as Paramdham or Brahmlok. Knowing where the Supreme Father is, we can establish connection with Him through thoughts during meditation.
