Do Jews, Christians & Muslims worship the same God ?

[Fatima]

Yes, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are often referred to as the Abrahamic religions because they all trace their spiritual lineage to Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim عليه السلام) and share a belief in one, supreme, and singular God . While their scriptures, theological interpretations, and religious practices differ, Islam affirms that Jews and Christians originally believed in the same one God (Allah), and that prophets like Moses (Musa عليه السلام) and Jesus (Isa عليه السلام) were true messengers of that same God.
Below is a deeper look into this subject from the Islamic perspective:

[1] Islam’s View: One God, One Message

Allah—The Shared God of Jews, Christians, and Muslims

Do not dispute with the People of the Book unless in a manner that is best... and declare, ‘We believe in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to you. Our God and your God is the same—We submit to Him-(Qur’an 29:46)

This verse emphasizes a shared foundation of belief between Muslims, Jews, and Christians. It acknowledges that although each faith has unique interpretations and teachings, they all direct their worship to the same Divine Being—the one God revealed to the prophets, including Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). Islam recognizes this unity while also affirming the finality of its message.

[2]Belief in the Prophets of Judaism and Christianity

Islam teaches that:

(a) Moses (Musa عليه السلام) was a great prophet who received divine revelation (the Torah).
(b) Jesus (Isa عليه السلام) was also a prophet, born miraculously, and given the Gospel (Injeel).
(c) Muhammad ﷺ is the final prophet in this line.

We believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to us, and in what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes. We believe in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was granted to all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them...(Qur’an 2:136)

Thus, Islam honors the spiritual lineage of Judaism and Christianity.

[3]Where the Differences Lie

While Islam acknowledges the same original God , it differs in **how the message was preserved:

(a) Jews reject Jesus as a prophet or Messiah and do not accept Muhammad ﷺ.
(b) Christians believe in the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) — a concept that Islam rejects as associating partners with God (shirk).
(c) Muslims believe the earlier revelations were altered or misinterpreted over time, and that the Qur’an corrects and completes the earlier scriptures.

Common Ground in Worship

Despite theological differences, all three faiths:

(a) Emphasize prayer, charity, and righteousness
(b) Believe in divine revelation, prophets, and the Day of Judgment
(c) Value Abraham as a spiritual patriarch
(d) Advocate submission to the will of God

Summary

From an Islamic standpoint ,Jews, Christians, and Muslims originally worshipped the same God , though over time, theological differences and human interpretation altered that understanding. Islam views itself as a continuation and completion of the monotheistic message revealed to earlier prophets.

Islam teaches respect for the People of the Book — not by ignoring differences, but by engaging with them in wisdom, truth, and dignity.
