Islam teaches that there is only one God, but their god, Allah, is totally different from the God of the Bible, so they cannot be the same God! Let’s look at Islam as compared to Christianity.

God
One God revealed in the Bible as Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. Within the one "Essence" of the
Godhead there are three Persons who are co-equally and
co-eternally God. Matt. 3:13-17; Matt.
28:19; I Tim. 3:16

God
There is no god but Allah – the God. The Koran teaches
that Allah does not have a son. Koran, Surah 4:171

Jesus
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, one with the Father.
He is the sinless Redeemer of all mankind through His
vicarious death on the cross and resurrection from the
dead. John 1:12-14; Hebrews 4:15; I Peter
3:18; I Cor. 15:3-4
|
|
Jesus
Jesus Christ was only a man, a prophet a prophet equal
to Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses, all of whom are below
Mohammed in importance. Christ did not die for man’s
sins, in fact, Judas was substituted for Jesus on the
Cross. Koran, Surah 4:157

Sin
Sin is proud, independent, rebellion
against God in active or passive form. Romans 1:18-23; Romans
