Muslims believe in a different God than Jews and Christians
- The Misconceptions about Islam
|
Allah is the Arabic word for God, just like Elohim is the Hebrew word for God. If you look at the Arabic Christian bible, Allah is used there too. It just means God in Arabic. In Aramaic God is Alaha. 420
Muslims believe in the same God as the Jews and the Christians. They believe in the same God that created the Heavens, the Earth and the angels, the Jinn (Satan and his tribe (Christians refer to them as demons or fallen angels)). The same God that created Adam and Eve from clay. The God that revealed Himself to Noah, Abraham, Jacob (Israel), Jesus etc.
A Muslim is a follower of Islam. Islam means one who submits 426 his will to God (the One true God). The prophets of the bible were all Muslims, submitters to the One true God.
“These are some of the prophets God has blessed, from the descendants of Adam, and from those We carried with Noah, and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from those We guided and selected. Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they would fall down, prostrating and weeping.” Quran 19:58
The prophets of the bible even prayed like Muslims (prostration, face on floor):
”And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,” Genesis 17:3 KJV
“And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?” Joshua 5:14 KJV
“And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.” Exodus 34:8 KJV
”And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.” Numbers 20:6 KJV
”And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?” Ezekiel 9:8 KJV
“And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground.” Nehemiah 8:6 KJV
“And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.” 2 Chronicles 20:18 KJV
