Allah SWT said: وَلَا تُجٰدِلُوٓا أَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ  ۖ وَقُولُوٓا ءَامَنَّا بِالَّذِىٓ أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَأُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَإِلٰهُنَا وَإِلٰهُكُمْ وٰحِدٌ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ "And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." (QS. Al-Ankaboot 29: Verse 46)

Elohim or Allah or Alaaha are not God"s name, is not God. These names are man made names supposed to be God. These names are not mention in the VEDA, the oldest books in universe. Only Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva(trinity) are names of God given by God. And the most important: Shakti.

[@ar-alhabbal]

Sorry, but this is a fallacy. We, as Muslims, do not worship three in one. We worship one God, Allah (SWT). (Sahih International) Surah An-Nisa (4:171) يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥٓ أَلۡقَىٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ وَرُوحٞ مِّنۡهُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌۚ ٱنتَهُواْ خَيۡرٗا لَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلٗا O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (Sahih International) Surah Maryam (19:88 - 19:93) وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗا And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son." لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدّٗا You have done an atrocious thing. تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلۡجِبَالُ هَدًّا The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation أَن دَعَوۡاْ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَلَدٗا That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِي ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَبۡدٗا There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

Its simple, In arabic, term "ILAH" means "God" . . When we refer to "One God" we use proper Noun as "The God" and termed as "AL-ILAH" which in linguistic called "ALLAH". Regards and respect,

GOD in arabic is "ilah". Allah is name of God. Languages ​​other than Arabic do not support the word "Allah" when translated. This is why Muslims do not translate "Allah" into their own language. God can be Gods,but not the word "Allah".So,go to research before you make a video.

1-in Judaism (Shalom aleichem ) 2- in Christianity(peace be upon you ) "And as they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." - new testament (Luke 24:36) 3-in Islam(as_Salam alaikum) وقال الله له: يا آدمُ اذهبْ إلى أولئك الملائكةِ، إلى ملأٍ منهم جلوسٍ، فقلْ: السَّلامُ عليكم، فقالوا: وعليك السَّلامُ ورحمةُ اللهِ وبركاتُه، ثمَّ رجع إلى ربِّه عزَّ وجلَّ، فقال: (هذه تحيَّتُك وتحيَّةُ بنيك). God said to Adam: go to those angels and say :as-Salam alaikum (peace be upon you) and they responded :wa 'alaykum as-salam wa rahmatu Allah wa barkatuhu (and peace be upon you and God's forgiveness and blessing) We are all the sons of Adam and Eve so we must come to an equal word between us.

[@mobbs8229]

I've thought about this for so long and I'm a translator/lexicographer. The problem is that to a Christian, the word "God" makes him/her think of a MAN who lives in the sky, drawn in paintings like any other man, you can see his beard and even robe (subhan Allah). When to a Muslim, Allah cannot be depicted in any form but can only be described by traits he taught us that he has. Even though these traits reach levels of extremeness unfathomable to us humans. Hence my reluctance to use the word God and Allah interchangeably.

you got me lost when you said the Christian God is unconditional, like why do we have laws & commandments, and even Heaven & Hell. of course there’s a condition to be in the presence of God & to enter His Kingdom in Heaven, no bad or disobedienf will be allowed to Enter.

[@mkadkfa]

I just want to add, yes Allah's love is actually infinite. Allah loves also to those who did wrong except to those who did syirik but didn't repent until the end of his/her life. Allah loves you even more when you obey His commands and do repent from doing the wrong deeds. But "rahmah" (blessings) , Allah only gives the blessings to the believers.

Yah allah indeed told us to do as u mentioned when allah said in sura imran chapter 3 vers 64 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! Let us come to common terms: that we will worship none but Allah, associate none with Him, nor take one another as lords instead of Allah.” But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted ˹to Allah alone˺.” ... which means we muslims are doing better than others do as allah seid Invite ˹all˺ to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and kind advice, and only debate with them in the best manner. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided. Chp 16 vers 125

That’s totally wrong !!! Allah is a name. Ilah is like god or dieu in Arabic. We say Allah is the ilah. Allah is the god. U can’t say god is god !!

The one question that can solve this ? Can God transform to human? Take a shape of human ? Answer God in dictionary is All being All knowing All capable So he is perfect in everything So can God be unlimited and limited in the same time ? Can God be a all capable and human in the same time? Can something be a square and circle in the same time? Of course not, it's illogical So God is one and God is perfect and always perfect (Say, "He is God, the One, the Absolute.
