Do Muslims believe that Allah is the same as the Jewish Yahweh and the Christian Jehovah?

Question

As far as I know, all three 'people of the Book' believe in one God; my question is do they all believe they are talking about the same entity?

Answer 1

112 Al-Ikhlas in the Quran

1. Say( O Muhammad(Peace be upon him): "He is Allah,(The) One.
2."Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).
3. "He begets not, nor was He begotten;
4. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

Answer 2

i'm Christian. After observing a majority of those issues, i'd desire to assert that Christianity and Judaism have the comparable God (form of), yet Islam does not. that is by using fact the Jews have the previous testomony (Torah), which Christians settle for as real, and God there is consistent with the God the recent testomony (which Christians settle for yet not Jews). the recent testomony is an addition to the previous. however the Koran (which claims to be an addition to the two the OT & NT) gets quite a few issues in the recent & previous Testaments incorrect: for examples, it says Moses became into accompanied by using Pharaoh's spouse, not his daughter as in the OT; Abraham incredibly much sacrificed his son Ishmael, the place the OT mentioned he incredibly much sacrificed Isaac; NT says Jesus is the Son of God, Koran says he's not, and so on. The Christian God is a Trinity, this is to assert he's expressed as God the daddy, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Jews, in the previous, purely knew God the daddy. The NT introduces God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Then the Koran, which will desire to be an addition to the NT, denies the two God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. consequently, on the same time as Jews may well be mentioned to worship the comparable God as Christians, the comparable can not be mentioned of Moslems.

Answer 3

I believe the Bible is the holy, inerrant word of God. The Old Testament and the New Testament were written by holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we accept the Old Testament to be a record and an example of what God allowed to happen among the Jewish people in antiquity. The New Testament records the birth, life, mission, death, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The only reason that we are considered "people of the Book" is because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam claim to be the children of Abraham. The difference is the Jews and Christians believe that Isaac is the legitimate son of Abraham
where Muslims believe the legitimate son to be Ishmael, his son by the handmaid Hagar.

The Bible predates the Quran and in it we read the admonition of the apostle Paul in Galations 1:8,9, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."

We read in Deut. 4:2 the following,"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. " Therefore when Mohamed wrote the Quran 600 years after Christ's death, burial, and Resurrection he altered and changed the word of Almighty God. Mohamed was trying to unite the desert tribes and created Allah, the moon god of the pagans to the station of and a substitution for the one true God. Islam teaches violence against the infidels (us) while Jesus taught His followers to treat others with dignity, respect, and to love them. He was a man of peace.

Muslims deny the divinity of Christ, claim he was born with the ability to speak at birth. and that he was not crucified. Instead the authorities substituted Judas instead. The claims of the crucifixion are recorded by Josephus (a Jewish histotorian of the 1st c. AD.

As such, judgment is of God and Him alone. Not by a group of religious fanatics whose sole goal in life is to force the conversion of others by force. Jesus Christ is more than a prophet, He is the Savior of the world willing to take on mankind's sins and die for us. What has Allah done?

Answer 4

As a follower of Christ and a reader of His word, Allah is not the same as Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He never called himself Allah. He is "I Am". The Jewish and Christian Yahweh and Jehovah are the same. Christians are the "offspring" of the Jewish religion.

Answer 5

Most adherents of Islam would argue that their god "Allah" is the same monotheity mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures. Abraham (the common patriarch of Jews and Muslims) called the Almighty by His personal name: Jehovah.

Sadly, however, there is little about the god of Islam which indicates he is any but Satan himself. Like all of false religion, Islam serves the purposes of God's chief enemy the Devil.

(2 Corinthians 11:14-15) Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works.

Answer 6

Rhetoric and verse-quoting aside (and I'm Jewish, by the way), G-d is G-d. Because of the unknowable nature of the Divine, your question, while an important one, is not answerable. Consider the three blind men each holding a different part of an elephant--the trunk, the tail, the leg. From their descriptions, which one actually has the elephant?

Answer 7

Christians, Jews and Muslims worship the ONE and ONLY God

Answer 8

Yahweh worshipers are identified by the Ten Commandments. They who believe in the one true God believes in his commandments for mankind. Thy shall not kill.
