...This book, superior to the previous one by the same author, lays out plainly the differences between the Biblical God and the Allah of Islam. While not going into as much depth as it could, it certainly does a superb job of illustrating the stark differences between Muslim and Christian/Jewish conceptions of God. My only wish would be that it would expound more on the pre-Islamic pagan origins of Allah as the moon god, titled "al-ilah" - which could conceivably be a book in and of itself. Allah's name evolved from the title given all across the Arabian peninsula before Mohammed to various astral deities, primarily lunar deities. There are even stories that can be found in very early Muslim source traditions which refer to pre-Islamic Arabians worshipping in the Kaabah, praying to "allah" while standing before idols of Hubal, a god who at various times was a god of storms, the moon, the sky, etc...

It is definately a great read. A very detailed analysis on who is Allah and who is Elohim. Compares Bible and Quran and comes up with interesting conclusions.

Even if you are not a muslim it is a great read and contains indepth information.

As a person who deals with Muslims in daily bases, I know how Muslims try to convince other that Allah SWT is the same God that is worshipped by the Jews and Christians. I know this opinion is baseless, but how can we explain that to Muslims? This book offers clear explanation based on Qur'an and Bible verses that Allah SWT is a totally different creature than Yahveh the God. So far, I found no other book that can explain the differences as clear as this book. I highly recommend anybody who wants to know more about Islamic god to read this book.

Author has done a great job putting all the evidences of Allah being a different god. She showed from the ten commandment of the Bible that Koran does not even fulfill a single commandment.

Her book has clear proof that Jesus is the same God of Old Testament but Allah is not. Koran breaks the very first commandment of God written in the Bible i.e. "You shall have no other gods before me!"

*Koran also failes to show the way of salvation and eternal life.

*Allah of Koran also failes to give assurance of holy life instead it declared that every Muslim will be going to the hellfire.

Author did a wonderful job of showing great evidence of triune God and how Allah is completely different from the God of the Bible.

This book is geared toward evangelizing Muslims. Shirly Isaac compares the characterists of Allah as listed in the Koran with those of Yahveh listed in the Bible. This reveals that Allah and Yahveh are not the same divine person. Moreover, the comparison reveals that you will want to be associated with Jesus and Yahveh. You will want Allah and Muhammad to stay far away!

Allah is not some idol that muslim's worship and the Prophet Muhammad was not the first muslim prophet. Muslims believe that our religion came from Adam and Eve and that Prophet Muhammad was the last of a line of prophets, including Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Noah, and others. Allah is the same God that Abraham and all the other previously mentioned worshiped. In fact, Christianity and Judaism are branches of Islam, since their texts came from the same God, Allah. Muslims believe in the original Talmud and Torah, which were given to David and Moses. We also believe in the Bible as given to the Prophet Jesus. Jesus is also a messiah, or messenger of God, to Muslims. But he has no divinity and does not belong to any trinity.

This book is nothing but propaganda to mislead people about the true message of Islam and to create lies and misconceptions. It's purpose is to poison Islam's image and encourage conversion to Christianity by trying to link Allah to idol worship. In fact, Muslims do not have any idols whatsoever that they worship in their mosques/masjids. Islam is opposed to any religious images.

The points this book tries to bring up can be more so asked about the differences between Jesus and Elohim.

this book asks; "how it is possible that we see a total contradiction in the message of the Bible and the message of the Quran?"

The fact is that Jesus contradicted Elohim on the laws of divorce, sabbath, defense, dealing with adultery, parents, food, etc...

This book also ignores that the momentous 10 Commandments from Elohim are reaffirmed in the Quran while they are abolished in the NT, you can't get more contradictory than that. Elohim punished millions of people in the OT for not following the 10 Commandments, now this book wants to tell us they never mattered?

Allah is more similar to Elohim than Jesus ever was, yet this author time and time again displays a grave lack of knowledge of all three Testaments.

The title sounds impressive, but again the neophyte author, "Sherly Isaac" humours us with her bad English and convulting, repulsive arguments. Much like her earlier work "Is Jesus God?", she again draws upon her "personal experiences" and misquotations from the Glorious Qur'an and the Ahadith texts. Her arguments have been thoroughly refuted on several Muslim websites and this url is especially of interest to the "question" proposed by Ms. Isaac....
