The word "Allah" is the perfect description of the "One God" of monotheism for Jews, Christians and Muslims!
Is "Allah" only for Islam and Muslims?
[No! It is for All Three Abrahamic Faiths.]
"Allah" is the same word used by Christian Arabs and Jewish Arabs in their Bible, centuries before Islam came.
On page one [1] of Genesis in the Old Testament, we find the word "Allah" seventeen [17] times.
Every hotel and motel has a Bible. Next time you see one look in the introduction, you will find samples of the different languages they have translated. For Arabic they have translated the verse in the New Testament in Arabic from the famous verse in the Gospel John 3:16 -
"For God so loved the world . . . "

Yes, for all three religions god is the same as Allah they both mean the same, and by the way I'm telling you this because I'm an Arab, and i studied and read a lot of books about all three religions and yes again they all have the Same Allah or God.

Excellent research.
Allah was the term used for God back in those days. As you said, the Arabic word for God is Allah.
So yes, all three religions believe in the same god because all three can trace their roots back to Abraham-- they just worship different ways and accept different doctrine/prophets. The way these religions view God are different in some aspects, but fundamentally they worship the same God since they all worship the God of Abraham. It is an indisputable fact; if all three religion believe in the God of Abraham (which they do), then they all believe in the same God. All that is different is the way they worship and the doctrine they use.

When it comes down to the nitty-gritty, there is only one true God for everyone, the Creator of all Things. Some worship that God, most don't.
There are many gods and a few goddesses, (Satan is called 'the God of this System of Things,) and many worship them, but in the end will find that their gods can't save them from anything, and have, in fact, blinded them from worshiping the True God.

Yes it's all the same god. Allah is just the word for God in Arabic.

All 3 religions originated in the Middle East, and all three believe Israel/Palestine to be the Holy Land. Really, the only divider between them is who they believe the Messiah to be.

Jewish, Christian and Muslim people are all monotheistic, meaning they believe in one God... but I find it hard to believe that they are the same God because the view of Him is very different. The way I see it, they can't all be right.
There is only one truth, and each religion believes they have it.

why yes he is, that's why we all get along so famously. Why next week there is a big spaghetti feast in Israel and all are welcome and it should be a huge blast....come one come all...
Everyone can say their god is the one true god, but until we die and go to whatever there is in the afterlife, we will truly never know. Unfortunately we cant tell anyone else about it, because we are dead.

main difference is that JEWS and Muslims dont belive that jesus is the son of god and that he is just a prophet or messanger of god, Christians believe that jesus is the son of god. But all three believe in the same god .
