Yes and No. The Hebrew God is the Deity of the Christian 'Old Testament' which shares the same books as the Tanakh, the central text of the Jewish religion.

The differences in the Christian and Jewish ideas of God are related to the fact that Christians believe that Jesus was the son of man, and is God along with the the Father, (Yaweh) and a deity called the Holy Spirit, each is equal and part of the whole. Jews do not believe Jesus is divine.

Answer 1

All Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship same God although named differently in different languages. Muslims worship God as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no father, no associate, and no equivalence. This is the basic belief in Islam since start of universe creation. Refer to questions below.

Answer 2

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 8

Dictionaries define "Judaism" as The monotheistic religion of the Jews, since the founding principle of Judaism was and is the belief in One God. This was the teaching which was spread by Abraham, and has continued since then. From Judaism, belief in One God has spread through Christianity, Islam, and the Western world.

In Judaism:

God is One (Deuteronomy 6:4). The concept of a dualism (as in Zoroastrianism), an independent Satan, multiple gods (polytheism; paganism) or a trinity of three in one, are all unimaginable in Judaism. Also, any belief that an intermediary between humanity and God should be used, whether as necessary or even optional, is considered heretical.God is non-physical, indivisible and incomparable. Jewish tradition teaches that God is beyond human comprehension; and that it is only God's revealed deeds, as He interacts with mankind and the world, that we can begin to grasp.

God is omniscient (He is aware of everything), and infinitely wise.
God created the universe and all existence, including time and space, in a deliberate, purposeful act of benevolent Creation.

God is the mover of everything. No molecule can move without the energy and direction with which God imbues it.

God is eternal; and His ways are also eternal. He is not capricious, forgetful or fickle.
God is just. He rewards good and punishes evil - whether in this world or in the afterlife.

God is ethical and moral; and He expects us to imitate His ways.

The God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the guide of history, who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.
God is the source of law, who gave the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
God is immanent and personal, meaning that he relates to humanity and hears our prayers. This is the basis of the Psalms and our siddur (prayerbook).
