This point popped up in a discussion in Current Events and Politics, and I thought I'd raise it here.
A lot of American Christians seem to think that somehow, the god "Allah" (typically the word used by Muslims for God) is somehow a "different god" than the Christian "God".
This is simply not true. They're the same god. The name "Allah" is just the Arabic name for "God". This is evidenced by the fact that Christian Arabs ALSO call God "Allah".
Now, I grant you, anybody can claim that the person god that they themselves worship is somehow different than the god that someone else worships. But if the historical and social context is to be considered at all, one can only come to the conclusion that historically, the two religions are worshipping the same god.
If I recall, it goes all the way back to the sons of Abraham (Isaac and Ismael), both of whom are mentioned in the Christian Old Testament as well as Islamic texts.
Hi, there is no chance that Allah is the same God as yahweh,,
Allah is a name,, it doesn't mean god,,
It only meant God post 7th century,,
Allah is a name,, for instance your Quran says
"know ˹well, O Prophet,˺ that there is no GOD ˹worthy of worship˺ except ALLAH."(name)
see it??
Oh and its Abraham,, ISAAC AND JACOB,
JACOB became ISRAEL
Ishmael wasn't of the promise,, it was Isaac
Seen as you quoted the holy bible,,
Well nearly,, read it,, Isaac not Ishmael,,
