If the Christians desist from their vain attempt of23defining the essence of the Supreme Being, and confess His absolute Oneness, then a union between them and the Muslims is not only probable but also extremely possible. For once, the unity of God is accepted and acknowledged; the other points of difference between the two faiths can be more easily settled.Allah and His Attributes:There are two fundamental points between Islam and Christianity, which, for the sake of the truth and the peace of the world, deserve a very serious and deep investigation. As these two religions claim their origin from the same source, it would follow that no important point of controversy between them should exist. Both these great religions believe in the existence of the Deity and in the covenant made between God and the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). On these two principal points, a thoroughly conscientious and final agreement must be made between the intelligent adherents of the two faiths.Are we poor and ignorant mortals who believe in and worship one God, or do we believe in and fear a plurality of Gods? Which of the two, Christ or Muhammad (pbuh), is the object of the Divine Covenant? These two questions must be dealt with once and for all.It would be a mere waste of time here to refute those who ignorantly or maliciously suppose the Allah of Islam to be different from the true God and only a fictitious deity of Muhammad’s own creation. If the Christian priests and theologians knew their Scriptures in the original Hebrew instead of in translations as the Muslims read their Quran in its Arabic text, they would clearly see that Allah is the same ancient Semitic name of the Supreme Being who revealed and spoke to Adam (pbuh) and all the prophets (pbtuhem).
