God of Muslims is different than the God of the Jews and Christians
One of the most common misunderstandings in the West is about Allah – the God of Muslims.
Westerners are deliberately made to believe that Allah of Muslims is not the God that is worshipped by the Jews and Christians.
They do not realize that Muslims worship the same God that the Jews and Christians worship.
There is a widely held misconception in the West, which erroneously equates Allah with Buddha and other eastern deities.
Muslims worship the same God that the Christians and the Jews worship.
Muslims usually call God by the Name of Allah, the Arabic word for God.
Because of the word Allah that the Muslims use for God, there is great misconception in the West, that Allah of Muslims is not the same God of the Jews and Christians.
The Arabic word Allah has neither any gender nor plural; therefore it is most appropriate to describe God, the Sole Creator and Cherisher of the universe.
Arab Christians and Jews also use the word Allah for God.
