Is the God of Christianity the same god worshipped in Islam?
First, nowhere is Allah mentioned in the Bible, and God is very clear on the names He allows Himself to be called by—in the Christian Bible.
Secondly, the bible of Islam is the Quran—which includes the Torah (the first five books of the Christian’s Bible). Protestant Christians believe the Bible as being complete with its 39 Old Testament books and its 27 New Testament books. Catholicism added five books known as the apocryphal books in 1546.
Thirdly, Muslims deny that Jesus was/is God’s Son, and they categorically renounce Jesus’ deity. They reject outright the Christian’s understanding of God being represented as God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit—all of which are God. Muslims wholly reject any Trinitarian concept of God.
Quran, 5:73 (Yusuf Ali), “They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.”
Quran, 5:17, “In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: ‘Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every—one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things.’”
Quran 5:75, “Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!”
Obviously, the Christian Bible teaches that no one can “access” God except through Jesus Christ: “Jesus said…, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (John 14:6)
“[F]or us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” (I Corinthians 8:6)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1)
