Some of the most common arguments for Christianity are also arguments for Islam.
Muslim apologists commonly site the cosmological argument for god, or supposed scientific knowledge in the Quran, or predictions in the Quran they believe came true, the morality argument for god, god changed my life, or even that they look around and just “feel it must be true,”
If you agree that any of these well-known arguments for god are valid evidence for support for the claimed existence of the Christian god, then you are in agreement that Muslims are justified in using these exact arguments too. After all, if any of these arguments did really prove a god existed, it should be considered support for the claim a god exists, even if it doesn’t prove which God exists. And while all of these arguments for god have been debunked multiple times (search our favorite YouTube channels for hours of content handily debunking every known argument for a god) I don’t need to debunk any of them no matter how fallacious the reasoning, to make the point that if belief in either religion can be justified based on these reasons that neither Muslims or Christians can justifiably deny the others use of the same arguments to prove god exists.
According to his words in the Quran, Allah says “I have no son.” He also claims to be the creator of the universe. Yet according to the new testament Jesus is the Son of God the creator of the universe. Both cannot possibly be true simultaneously.
Therefore, the above arguments appear to support one’s belief in either religion, but we know belief in one of them must be wrong. This demonstrates conclusively that in the case of Christianity and Islam, use of those arguments can and does in fact lead roughly half of the people using them to accepting a false god claim as true. I will humbly remind you that while both religions can’t be right, they can both be wrong.
The cold hard truth is that a belief in practically any god can be justified by these common lines of thinking and for that reason, we can say for sure that they do not support or indicate any one god is true over any other. This literally means those arguments are not evidence for a specific god, and if you are a Christian and accept these arguments as proof of your god then congratulations you’ve just proved Islam also must be true.
