Don't both Christianity and Islam believe in the same overall God?
442360
Because Christianity, Judaism and Islam all stem from Abraham, yes, we believe in the same God.

everyone believes they are right, and also feel that others should believe the same. the problem isn't that there is no tolerance. Take Christianity for example, if you believe and I don't, you go to heaven and I go to hell. on the other hand, for fundamentalist denominations of Islam (some of them) feel that if you believe and I don't, then I will go to hell, but YOU will go to hell if you don't convert me. so that certain aspect doesn't help things....

There is only  one (1) GOD and he goes by  many different names . Couldn't Jesus be the same person as Mohammed ?

No. they do not. There are too many fundamental differences in their doctrines.\n\n"Traditional Islam teaches that there is only one God (Allah) and that God works through prophets rather than assume a physical form.\n\n The Nation of Islam claims that its founder, Fard Muhammad, who appeared mysteriously in Detroit on July 4th, 1930, was the incarnation of Allah (God).\n\n Traditional Islam teaches about the \nProphets: God revealed His existence to a number of prophets, including Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, who received God's final revelation.\n\nNation of Islam teaches that after the death of Elijah Muhammad, the movement has taught that he was a prophet or "messenger" of God.\n\n \nOn Race: The Qur'an says Allah created the human race "from a single male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so ye may know each other, not that ye may despise each other."\n\n The Nation of Islam elevates blacks (and often other non-caucasians) above whites, who are considered "blue-eyed devils." The NOI also believes that whites were created by a renegade black scientist named Yacub."

Because of same name usuage or the greater delusion that all religions are leading to the same place, etc. etc - but the truth is Christianity is about a relationship with Jesus Christ and has nothing to do with religion.

The God that Muslims believe in, is God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Moses, Jesus, etc...no need for charity... sure you can approach the God, Sure he Loves his creations, but he is also Just... He always has been and he will always be Just.

It all boils down to one thing, and one thing only.  Muhammed, when he was inventing allah and islam, took and corrupted (intentionally or not) a lot of factoids from Judaism and Christianity.  His ONLY defense against his inadequate knowledge of science, astronomy, anatomy, physiology, history, religion (esp Judaism and Christianity), and many OTHER fields of thought was to declare EVERYTHING ELSE as wrong or corrupted.  (nice try, Mo)  \n\nIslam "claims" to be correct and complete, yet denies the divine nature of Jesus.  Islam is at a loss for anything spiritual (resorting instead to lavish physical pleasures and rewards for following allah/Muhammed).  There are so many blatant errors in the koran that it's not worth listing.\n\nChristianity (rightfully) views islam and allah as a false god.

First of all Islam means totally submitting to God's will in every aspect of life. We believe that worshiping God alone and submitting to Him (Islam) is the core of every message that God has sent to the world, and thus the most important teachings of all God's messengers are the same.\nDifferences in the messages were in secondary issues and not in the core beliefs. Each message was appropriate for the time period in which it was sent. Since Islam was the last message sent by God, He Glory be to Him made it appropriate for every time and place.\n\nSo in the core beliefs we are Muslims (submitters to God) just like Jesus peace be upon him and all the messengers from Adam until Mohammed peace be upon them all.

ACTUALLY, YES they do.  They both originated from JUDAISM.  Christianity was founded by Christ who was a Jew.  His teachings he hoped would expound upon God's love and to clarify how he wanted us to live our lives.  Islam was founded by Mohammed (hope I spelled it right)  Mohammed created Islam in hopes of uniting the warring tribes into a single Arabic state through religion.  Mohammed after hearing many travelers from both of the aforemention religions claims to have been visited by the angel Gabriel and instructed to form Islam.  He did not "write" the koran as many people believe because he was illiterate.  however, after his dream/visit from the angel Gabriel, he dictated the religion to someone...\nThis is just a vague synopsis so look up more information on the history of the religions (not the practices).  I dont remember much because I took world history like two years ago but i did learn that they came from the same place...so what is all the fighting about?  extremists.  there are some people who interpret the koran one way and some who interpret another.  same with christianity.  some interpret one way and hundreds interpret it in other ways.

If you are a christian, a jew or a muslim, you do all worship the same god. Maybe it is time to examine your premises as to what a god, or your god, is, and why is it that you think it is involved in man's foibles - at least on a day-to-day basis.

As in all religions there are some that believe certain things and others that see it a different way. Islam is not a hate oriented religion at all, they just have some hateful offspring.  Same goes with all the other religions.

The only two religions that teach close to the same God is Judaism and Christianity. All others are vastly different and contradictory. Since they oppose each other-they all can not be the correct one. So, only one can be right. The trick is-which one? We must compare and choose-and hope we are right. Fortunately for people in the western countries, we have the "freedom" and the "resources" to check them "all" out. I personally know a man with 2 doctoral degrees in religion, a D.Min, and a Ph.D. He is an Arab. He is convinced that Christianity is the correct one. I too believe that Christianity is the correct one. I have 2 degrees also in religion, but not a doctorate. I understand that most people in the world do not have a chance to compare religions, or the resources either. Some would have to forfeit their life to change-this is sad. Christian missionaries give their lives to help other people learn about Jesus. They do not do this to raise an army or to overthrow a government, they do it to save lives only. This one fact alone should make people all over the world at least want to examine a religion that cared so much for them that they would die to bring it to them. This is one reason I think my religion is right.

ISLAM\nThe religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad .\n\nSome Basic Islamic Beliefs\n1) Belief in God:\n\nMuslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone.  He is the true God, and every other deity is false.  He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes.  No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes.  In the Quran, God describes Himself:\n\n Say, “He is God, the One.  God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs.  He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.”  (Quran, 112:1-4)\n\nChapter 112 of the Quran written in Arabic calligraphy\n\nChapter 112 of the Quran written in Arabic calligraphy.\n\nNo one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but God alone.\n\nGod alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe.  He manages all affairs.  He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need.  He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing.  In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private.  He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen.  No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will.  Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be.  His will is above the will of all the creatures.  He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything.  He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent.  In one of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad , we are told that God is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child.1  God is far removed from injustice and tyranny.  He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees.  If someone wants something from God, he or she can ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God for him or her.\n\nGod is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God.2  Even Jesus himself rejected this.  God has said in the Quran:\n\n Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.”  The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.  Whoever associates partners in worship with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell).  For the wrongdoers,3 there will be no helpers.”  (Quran, 5:72)\n\nGod is not a trinity.  God has said in the Quran:\n\n Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a trinity),” when there is no god but one God.  If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness?  For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.  The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger...  (Quran, 5:73-75)\n\nIslam rejects that God rested on the seventh day of the creation, that He wrestled with one of His angels, that He is an envious plotter against mankind, or that He is incarnate in any human being.  Islam also rejects the attribution of any human form to God. All of these are considered blasphemous.  God is the Exalted.  He is far removed from every imperfection.  He never becomes weary.  He does not become drowsy nor does he sleep.\n\nThe Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe).  This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians.  This word cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God.  The Arabic word Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times.  In Aramaic, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke,4 God is also referred to as Allah.\n2) Belief in the Angels:\n\nMuslims belie

Why does every body think that there is two different Gods for two differen religions of Islam and Christian?
760437
Yes it's possible..... because Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is also one of Allah's 99 names, and Allah is the very same God that christians and jews worship (there's only one)  Muslims believe in Jesus as a prophet the same as Abraham, Moses, Muhammad, and all the others.  His family is having a problem because Muslims worship God and God alone, with no son or partner. Muslims believe that worshipping Jesus as the son of God is polytheism, the biggest sin of all. ( the first commandment given to Moses says the same thing).
