The question of God’s identity has been central to human history, shaping civilizations, philosophies, and personal beliefs. For billions of people across the world, the names Yahweh and Allah evoke profound reverence and allegiance. Yet, while these names refer to a Supreme Being, their meanings, contexts, and implications differ significantly. This book seeks to explore these differences, focusing on Jesus Christ—the central figure of Christianity—and His relationship to the God of Israel, Yahweh, as opposed to Allah, the God of Islam.
The figure of Jesus is unique in the religious landscape. Born in Israel over 2,000 years ago, He is revered as the Messiah in Christianity and a prophet in Islam. While Christians believe in Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world, Islam reduces Him to a human prophet subordinate to Muhammad. This divergence is not merely theological but speaks to the core of who God is and how humanity relates to Him.
For centuries, Christians in Arab lands have used the term "Allah" to refer to God. However, this has created confusion, especially with the emergence of Islam in the 7th century, which redefined "Allah" through the teachings of Muhammad. Today, many wonder: Did Jesus worship Allah, as some suggest, or did He worship Yahweh, the God revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures? What does the Bible say about Jesus' relationship with God? And why do these distinctions matter?
In exploring these questions, this book will journey through history, theology, and scripture. We will delve into the Old Testament foundations of Yahweh’s covenant with His people, examine the life and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament, and analyze the emergence of Islam with its concept of Allah. Along the way, we will compare the attributes, nature, and worship practices associated with Yahweh and Allah.
This book is not merely an academic exercise. It is a call to understanding and, ultimately, to decision. For if Jesus is who He claimed to be—the Way, the Truth, and the Life—then the implications are eternal. The identity of the God we worship determines not only how we live today but also our destiny in the life to come.
By the end of this journey, you will have a clearer understanding of the historical and theological distinctions between Yahweh and Allah. More importantly, you will see why Jesus Christ stands at the center of this discussion and why worshiping Him changes everything. This is not just a debate about names; it is an exploration of truth, faith, and salvation.
