Quora Answer: Is the God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam the Same?
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Is the God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam the same?”
All three faiths belief
in One God, and since there is only One God, then it is the same God for all
three faiths. That is not the contention
at all. The contention is in the Nature
of this One God, the Divine Attributes. Islam
and Judaism agree that God is Absolute. Trinitarian Christianity qualifies that God
has three forms, all co-equal, or almost, depending on the denomination. T are differences in the theodetical approach,
and the juxtaposing of God’s Goodness with the presence of evil and suffering. Islam and Judaism have very little
theological differences. They agree on
almost everything. They disagree on the
nature of prophethood and the identity of the eschatological prophet. The Jews still await the Messiah as the Final
Prophet. The orthodox Muslims contend
the Final Prophet is Muhammad (s.a.w.). Everything
else, from political commentary to social differences to the clash of
civilisations is merely noise.
