Do muslims worship the same god of Christians?



 The Bible Vs Koran/Qu'ran
Is the Bible the true word of God or is the Koran the true word of God is the question we all might ask. Muslims claim that the bible became corrupted and through the prophet muhammed, The original message came back into existence. Another claim is that Jesus was an ordinary prophet like Daniel or John, and not the son of God. 

Muslims say:
"Proof" of the biblical corruption is that there are many different versions of the bible that are worded different. A prime example of this would be John 1:1. Some bibles say the Word was God. Others say the word was A god. From a Non-Christian perspective this would seem like proof. 

This is not the case because the person(s) who translated the bible, wrote down what their interpretation of the bible was. Remember, the differences are somewhat minor and the context of the scripture doesn't change much. So they convey the same intended message. What I like to do when it comes to controversial scriptures, is look at different translations so I can get a better understanding of what the Bible is saying. Of course scriptures such as John 1:1 would require you to be knowledgable on the scriptures itself, and research what the original hebrew/greek texts say.

I could make this post longer by stating scriptures that muslims take out of context that would support the idea of Muhammed, but there is one crucial factor that discredits the Qu'ran as the book of God.

Jehovah or Allah +99 ?
I find it interesting how the prophets/ in the Bible all knew God's (Personal) Name Jehovah(English translation) Yahweh/YHWH(Hebrew), but Muhammed only knew his God as Allah(Arabic for God) and his 99 qualities. YHWH was in the original Hebrew scriptures alone close to 7000 times.
7000 Times!!

Conclusion
Personal name of Islam God, Allah. Personal name of Christian God, YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah
Therefore it is reasonable to come to the conclusion that The Koran might be the inspired word of "A god", but is not inspired by the True God in the Bible.
