I would like to disagree with Mr Syed’s conclusion that we Christians worship the same God as the Muslims (Don’t we worship the same God? Courier, August 14).
The justification for maintaining that the God of our Bible and the Allah of the Muslim Quran are totally different, is that our God has a Son, Jesus, and their Allah has no son.
The Quran states: “They said – The Most Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son! You have uttered a gross blasphemy! The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder – and the mountains are about to crumble because they claim that The Most Gracious has begotten a son. It is not befitting The Most Gracious that he beget a son!” (Surah 19:88-92).
No, Mr Syed, the God I worship as a follower of Christ, is a very different God to the one you worship as a Muslim. But that does not stop me from loving you and praying for you.
