Hmm Muslims unlike christians don't believe in the trinity, and that Jesus died for our sins in the cross. for them Jesus is a prophet and wasn't crucified. In some ways Muslim "God" is similar to Jewish "God", hes one, singular. |

The Muslim concept denies the Trinity! Denies the facts of the Epiphany to people and the fact that God is so close to people that he himself can become a man! For Allah, only slaves are!

I am a muslim so I am closer to the muslim definition of god, but in Islam we believe that muslims, jews, and christians believe in same god. How would you define your Muslim belief? Like what do you do in this religion? Well Islam was built on the notion of monotheism, which is to say that nothing else is deserving of worshiping but god, and that extends beyond just not worshipping other gods, but to me, it also means that you don't worship money, fame, or power etc. For example, you are not supposed to bribe to get something you want because you would put god above the thing you want. In terms of what you do that's a bit more complicated. Islam has five main pillars: 1) Witnessing that there is no god but allah, and mohammad is his messenger. which is what I mentioned previously 2) Praying which is meant to be a way to have communication between you and god, and it's meant to deter you from evil.
3) Fasting ramadan, but fasting is not just not eating in islam, but you are supposed to try your best not to get angry, and be calm etc which is meant to help you improve yourself.
4) giving zakat which is like charity once per year that's a fixed percentage of whatever income you don't spend for over a year.
5) Hajj which is a pilgrim to Mecca that you have to do once in your lifetime if you can physically and financially afford it.
The thing is doing these things does make a person a muslim, but even islam does not say being a muslim is enough, because you can pray but if your prayer does not stop you from evil it's useless. You can fast, but if after the fasting season is over you don't learn patience it's pointless, and you can give zakat but if you end up scamming more money from others it's also pointless. |

Despite of Christians' muslims' God is also undeterminable. It's just a God, no more. We can't imagine Him 'cause He is higher of our imaginations, etc. Allah is the most philosophical understanding of God within monotheistic traditions.

I chose "Other" because I have the Old Testament concept of God. Like in Islam, God is one. But unlike in Islam, God doesn't demand submission. And God refuses definition (Exodus 3:14), so Quran Surah 1 wouldn't fit in the Old Testament.

The Christian God and the Muslim's Allah are not the same God.
What are the differences? Well, just about everything is different.
To point out just a few differences;
-The Christian God has a Son, the Muslim Allah does not, hence the Christian God is a(the) Father, and the Muslim Allah is not.
-Muhammad claimed to be the greatest of all prophets, no prophet in the Bible ever claimed to be the greatest.
-Muhammad sanctioned the beating of wives(Sura 4:34), no prophet in the Bible ever sanctioned such a thing.
-Compared to Jesus Christ who had no sin and in Him was found no guile(1 Peter 2:22), Muhammad occasionally asked Allah for forgiveness(Sura 40:55).
-Muhammad wiped out entire tribes of people for their unbelief, Jesus Christ never did any such thing but instead commanded Christians to leave that house or city if the people thereof did not receive their testimony(Matthew 10:14)
-The Muslim Allah does not love sinners, while the Christian God does(John 3:16)
-Islam holds the first 5 books of the Old Testament, the Psalms, and the Gospels were given by Allah but with the condition that they were corrupted by Jews and Christians, while Christians believe the Quran is a fraudulent attempt at adding to God's word.
