The Supreme Being in Christianity is labeled 'GOD', in Islam, 'ALLAH'.

I always wondered, Is Allah a name or Title?

Of course Muslims believe in God and we call God “Allah”

Ok, guys...if you're Christian, there is Jehovah, right? I'm not Christian, but I did visit a church a time or two, and that was the foreign language term they used (eg, pre English translation).

And, if you speak Spanish, the word is 'Dios'.

Now, stay with me for a moment: Allah = Arabic term, literally translated to mean god in English.

However, I don't speak Arabic, I'm guessing...but, it kind of fits, ya?

Actually, Muslims would consider Jesus more similar to the Koran than to Muhammad. Allah is their term for what we call 'God.'

??? Muslims would consider Jesus more similar to the Koran than to Muhammad.? How. . . . The Koran ( Quran ) is a Book? I even have one. . . .

Yeah... that made no sense...

I read it in a college textbook for a World Religions class. It's an odd perspective, but I think it's trying to put across that the Quran isn't like the Bible. I'm definitely NOT the expert on Muslims, though. It does sound a little strange to say that a book is the same as Jesus...the way the text describes it is complicated, probably purely the non-Muslim author's view of it.

I see what mrickstone means - Jesus is 'The Living Word of God' to Christians.

I believe what mrichstone is referring to is the Muslem interpretation of John1 : 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Christians see Jesus in a physical 'Son of Man' concept as the Son of God . Muslems see Jesus as a Prophet. It very well may be that some concepts are lost when translated into another language.
