Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all acknowledge God as the one God, whom no one is like unto, and whom is absolutely perfect: Merciful, Wise, Magnificent, Strong, et cetera. So, we know God’s attributes.
Now, as for who God is:
Judaism teaches that God is the Father. He is the Father because He created the world, He protects the poor and needy, He teaches and helps the rulers of the world, and He has a father-son relationship with Israel in the sense that He has made a covenant with Israel.
Christianity teaches that God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is the Father because He created the world, protects the poor and needy, teaches and helps rulers, and has made a covenant with His People and because He has a Son; He is the Son because the Son is the Word of God, which is begotten of God and through which God acts; and He is the Holy Spirit because the Spirit is the Breath of God, which proceeds from God and in which God acts.
Islam teaches that God isn’t a father. So who is God in Islam?
