Is the Muslim concept of Allah compatible with the biblical view of God?

Answer 1

I think this depend to a greater extent on which Biblical view of God or which 'school of thought' you belong to.

In my opinion there are two Biblical views about the concept of God in The Bible.

(1) Jesus' view and (2) Christians' view.

(1) Jesus' view of God is the same as Muslims concept of Allah.

"What Jesus said"

• Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" [Matthew 4:10] "La ilaha ila Allah" (Muslims says)
• "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. [Mark 12:29] - "La ilaha ila Allah" (Muslims says)
• Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. [John 17:3) -"La ilaha ila Allah" (Muslims says)
• I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." [John 11:42]. Jesus claimed here to be a prophet sent by God - Muslim believe Jesus to be a Prophet

(2) Christians view of God

"What was said for Jesus"

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. *I and the Father are one*." [John 10:29-30]

• Christians often quotes John 10:30 with the exclusion of John 10:29 to say Jesus claimed to be God.

"Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" [John 8:58]

• Christians claims that Jesus was claiming to be God in this sentence - simply because of the "I am".
