Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Both religions teach that there is only one God. However, each religion differs on the details. Christianity teaches that the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are parts or different forms of God, and that Jesus is the son of God, God himself, and part of God; on the other hand, Islam teaches that Jesus was a messenger of God, and that God is one and has no partners or offspring.

Answer 2

Absolutely not. Both Muslims and Christians would agree with this proposition.

The Muslims worship Allah, who although with many similar attributes to the God of The Bible is essentially unknowable. The Christian God is triune and is worshiped by Christians as three divine persons in the one Godhead. Muslims say that Allah has no son. Christians say that Jesus is the Son of God and as equal with God is worthy of worship. To Muslims this idea is unthinkable as to them Jesus was only a prophet.

Both the Christian and Muslim positions on the central details of their faith has not changed since they began. Jesus came into conflict with the Jews for claiming to be God. In similar fashion, Christians are in disagreement today with Muslims over who Jesus is.

Answer 3

Actually they do. They do believe in God, God is the only one they worship. But they don't believe that Jesus is God's son, but they do believe in him.

Answer 4

Christians and Muslims both believe in the God of Abraham and Moses, etc. They believe that God (Elohim in Hebrew, Allah in Arabic) will call people to account, on the Day of Judgment.

There is disagreement, however, between Muslims and Christians about the nature of God. While Christians say that God had a 'son', and that God is a Trinity, Muslims remain true to the religion of Abraham and Moses - believing that God does not come to Earth in the form of anything, and that God is Absolutely Unique - no one else can be any kind of 'god' except the Real God.

One of the differences between Muslims and Jews, though, is that Muslims believe Jesus is the Messiah. They even believe that he will return. But when Jesus returns, according to Muslims, it will not be as a kind of 'god'; it will be to declare that:

There is no god but the One God, and Muhammad was the Final Messenger of God - whom Jesus was bringing the Good News about.

Answer 5

Allah means God. Yes. But the "infidel's" are not worshiping the same God. The word of Islam and the word of the Christians have too many contradictions to be the same God.

Answer 6

Yes, Both Christians and Muslims worship the same God (called in Arabic Allah). However, Most Christians worship God under the Trinity (father, son, and holy spirit) belief and believe that Jesus is God or son of God. Muslims worship God as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence.

Answer 7

Yes, more accurately the Jews and Muslims worship the same God, the God of Abraham who revealed the Torah to Moses. However, Christianity claims to worship the same God of Abraham as the Jews, though there is debate among Christians of whether or not to claim the God of Islam as the same God or a different God. Even though the Qur'an testifies to the truth of the Gospel, Jesus being the Messiah and Mary being a pure and virtuous woman. Christianity started as a small Jewish sect with a strictly Unitarian God. However, by the 4th century of the Common Era, Christianity was split between a Unitarian God promoted by Priest Arius and a Trinitarian God promoted by Bishop Athanasius in what is known as the Arian Controversy. Each side became dominant for a time, but Athanasius' Trinitarian God (backed by the pagan Roman Government) came to dominate and the Arian Christians settled in the east and in northern Africa. When Islam spread in the 7th Century and encountered the Arian Christians, many of them embraced Islam and recognizing the human Jesus and unity of God which was cardinal to their Arian belief and found it also in Islam. With their conversion, Arianism vanished from Christianity forever and the controversy about who God and Jesus were changed from a debate within Christianity to a debate between two Abrahamic faiths. So really the answer is not so much yes or no, but rather does Christians worship the same God as the Jews and Muslims? If by god, the questioner means Jesus, YHVH and the Holy Ghost, then absolutely not because the Jews and Muslims neither one worship a Trinitarian God. But if the questioner means do Muslims, Jews and Christians all worship the unseen being that gave Moses the Torah and David the Psalms, then absolutely yes. To find out more about the Arian controversy and this period in Christian history, I'd recommend the book "When Jesus Became God: The Struggle to Define Christianity during the Last Days of Rome" by Richard E Rubenstein.

Answer 2

Yes. All the Prophets of Almighty God preached the ONENESS of Almighty God. Right from Hazrat Adam (AS) to Hazrat Abraham (AS), Hazrat Moses (AS), Hazrat Jesus (AS) to the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him) worshiped the same God. The Jews, the Christians and the Muslims worship the same God.

The Muslims worship ONLY ONE Almighty God. They believe that Almighty God (Allah in Arabic) is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, Provider and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. Nothing is like Him. He has no parents, no off-spring. He has no partner, no adviser. He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, All Seeing, All Knowing, Oft-forgiving, the Most Merciful, the most Gracious, the most Beneficent. He is the Sole Master of the Day of Judgment. Whenever He wishes to create something, He just says, "Be" and it is done. He alone deserves worship. All praise be to Him. He and He alone should be called for help, as no one else can help.
