Do you muslims believe in God? I heard on allah who is that? Can someone explain?
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?
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 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.
well I am muslim and I have read about that . we belive in GOD the almighty GOD only one GOD the creator of all the world . for the name its same if you check the hebrow its called elloh .and if you remember what Jesus said , he said eli eli . its kidna same .. check it out and you will know .. and the arabic christian called GOD Allah too ..
??? Muslims would consider Jesus more similar to the Koran than to Muhammad.? How. . . . The Koran ( Quran ) is a Book? I even have one. . . .
Allah[please write the name in capital:-] is the Muslim's God. We use the term God and Allah.Its just a different name for God in Arabic
Actually, Muslims would consider Jesus more similar to the Koran than to Muhammad. Allah is their term for what we call "God."
I see what mrickstone means - Jesus is 'The Living Word of God' to Christians.
Yes muslims believe in God! Allah is God. Just a different word for God.
The Supreme Being in Christianity is labeled 'GOD', in Islam, 'ALLAH'.
jesus is similar to mohammed.. father of jesus is equivalent to allah
Of course Muslims believe in God and we call God “Allah”
yES .WE. D0 =] AllAH iS G0D iN ARABiC THATS All .
I always wondered, Is Allah a name or Title?
perplexed
Yeah... that made no sense...
Are you looking for percentages?
