ISLAM

Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?

When you try to talk to any Muslim about the facts of Islam, he will almost always tell you that we worship the same God but in different names or ways. Unfortunately, many Christians, especial in the West, believe that. But the truth of the matter is, we do not worship the same God. Please allow me to explain this truth further.

~ Allah of Islam is not the Father. No one dares to have a personal relationship with him, talk to him, and love him. But Jesus taught Christians to pray to "our Father in heaven" (Matthew 6:9).

~ Allah is not the Son. For a Muslim, there is no need for the Trinity because God can command anything to be and it will be (*Sura 4:171, 5:73, 5:116). Muslims also believe that Jesus was created from dust exactly like Adam was (Sura 3:59).

~ Allah is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in the Koran is the angel Gabriel.

~ Allah is not love. Love is not mentioned among the 99 most beautiful names of Allah.

~ Allah asks the angels to worship Adam (Sura 2:31-34).

~ Allah does not want to redeem mankind, but insists upon filling hell with all of them. No one will escape it forever (Sura 15:43,44).

~ Allah allows swearing (Sura 89:1-5, 91:1-9, 95:1-4).

There are many other differences between Allah and our heavenly Father. Dear Christians, Muslims need God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (See "Triunity")

*Sura: a chapter in the Koran.

What are the "Pillars of Islam"?

Muslims live out their faith according to six "pillars":

(Check out number six--Jihad!!)

1. Reciting the two creeds: "There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah." Simply declaring this sentence is enough for one to become a Muslim and confirm that he will go to paradise after death, although everyone must go to hell first.

2. Prayers: They must pray five times a day, but first must go through the ritual washing, or Allah will not accept their prayers.

3. Giving alms to the poor (Zakat): They are to give money to the poor, the Islamic state, mosques, etc.

4. Fasting. This is especially important during the month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar calendar. In 1998, Ramadan will begin around January 1st.

5. El Haj: This is the pilgrimage to Mecca for those who can afford it. One who has completed the journey is called a haji.

6. Jihad: Most Muslim scholars consider Jihad (which means "holy war," or fighting non-Muslims) to be the sixth pillar.

Why can't Allah fight for himself ? Why is Allah so afraid of competition from Christians, Jews, and others?

Dear brothers and sisters, I urge you to pray that Jesus Christ would manifest Himself to Muslims and that they would bend their knee to our heavenly Father, "who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (l Timothy 2:4).

Who was Allah in Mohammed's day?

Allah was the moon god. Muslims still use the crescent shape of the moon over their mosques. Not one single Muslim can give a good reason or explanation for that. In Arabia, there was a female goddess who was the sun god and a male god who was the moon god. It is said that they got married and produced three goddesses called "the daughters of Allah," named Allat, Al Oza, and Manat.

Moses, Jesus and the False Prophet, Mohammed

To understand the violent actions of a follower of a religion, we must know the spiritual origin of its leader or prophet. The bible calls both Moses and Jesus prophets. (We also believe Jesus Christ to be God in the flesh.) The Koran calls Mohammed a prophet. The Koran says that Moses, Jesus and Mohammed are the same in God's eyes. But the question is, do all of them have the qualifications of a prophet sent by God? Do all of them teach the same principles that prove that they were all sent by the same God? To be called a prophet of God, one must have at least some of the following important qualifications:

  1. He must come with prophecies from God.
  2. Prove his calling by performing miracles and wonders.
  3. Fulfill prophecies written about him.
  4. Come with a message confirming what God said before him or with a new message that does not contradict what God previously revealed to mankind.
  5. Have a witness other than himself validate that he is called to be a prophet.


Moses had at least four qualifications from the previous five. Jesus had them all, and Mohammed had none of them.

"See now that I, even I, Am He, and there is no god with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand" (Deuteronomy 32:39).

Jesus said, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6). In another place He said, "I Am the Resurrection and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25). See: Bible verses showing the Trinity of God
