There are several pieces of evidence that can lead to different viewpoints in the issue. Chronologically, Muslim came after Judaism and Christianity, and the Koran comes from a slightly different viewpoint than the old and new testaments. However, Allah is just the Arab translation of God, and in several places, the Koran seems to say that the gods are the same. What do you think?
There are many claims that the history shows that Allah was/is the "moon god" of ancient Arabia. The view of Allah's personality, form, function, and purposes appears to me to be vastly different from the views of God within Christianity and Judaism.
Well, its the most common thing I see here in the westren world and sometimes you people complicate simple things. Many people say: Your a muslim so your god is allah !
Allah is an arabic word and it means god. God=allah=dumnizeu=other lanuages.
Christians, jews...etc you all believe in Allah (GOD)
Hope you all got my point.
I agree with senaia, The God of Christians, Jews, and Islam. Are one in the same. There is one sign that they are. Muhammad tells of the Angel Gabriel, Gabriel is talked about in the Torah and the Holy Bible. Not unless some other God also has an angel named Gabriel. I know this isn't concrete proof. But if they are the same then shouldn't we all just accept that fact.
Allah roughly translated certainly does mean God.
Allah is actually an arab cognate of two words
Al-(Definite article) and ilah (god) so basically it means "The God". When talking about false gods or dieties arabs may use the word Ilah but definitely not Allah. Allah is a name reserved for the One Supreme Abrahamic God.
