NAMES & ATTRIBUTES OF
GOD IN THE BIBLE AND HOLY QURAN |
Names
Many Jews as well as Christians claim the Bible God
and the Quran God are not the same. This has always
preplexed me for the simple fact that Muslims insist
they are the same God.
For example, if I say I live in Israel and show an
Israeli passport, they would insist I don't live
in Israel and that only they are privilaged enough
to
live in Israel. This selfish and exclusive attitude
towards knowing God is immature.
God is Great enough for everyone to know, if Jews
says they believe in the God of Abraham, Muslims agree,
yet the same is denied visa versa. When Muslims say
we believe in the God of Abraham, Jews call us liars.....
Would the Jews and Christians prefer we worship the
devil? Rather than be greedy with God, let's all share
God and accept that God loves us all.
One argument is that the Bible God and Koran God have
different names, but a scholarly look into this topic
would prove other wise, the Arabic speaking Jews and
Christians also name God 'Allah' which simply means
The Divine in English.
Furthermore, God in the Bible and Quran have identical
Names and Attributes:
In conclusion, they are the same names with the same
meanings, only with a different tongue, which was
predicted in Isaiah 28:11
"Nay, but by men of strange
lips and with an alien tongue the LORD will speak
to this people"
Allah (God in Arabic) in the Quran has a total of
99 attributes, giving us a deeper and richer understanding
of our Creator.
Peace.
