How knowable is God in Islam? In the Judeo-Christian faith?
-
In Islam, God is transcendent, but not immanent – Muslims believe that God is not knowable and that His ways are above our understanding. However, the Judeo-Christian God is both transcendent and immanent.
-
I believe that God is known in Islam but He is distant. In Christianity, God has a personal relationship with his believers through Jesus Christ.
-
God is not able to be known in Islam, whereas in Judaism and Christianity, He actually wants to be known, even though man can never fully comprehend and known him.
-
In Islam God is not knowable. He is too great and powerful for human understanding. In the Judeo-Christian faith, God is a loving Father whom we can have a personal one to one relationship with.
-
The God of Islam is a personal God but He does not apparently provide a clear path to salvation. His seems capricious. The God of the Judeo-Christian faith provides a clear path to salvation and the promise of the reward of heaven for belief in Him and forgiveness of our sins.
