Do Both Christians and Muslims Worship The Same God?

We are all familiar with the common phrase "God is one" I often hear some politicians try to unite conflicting religions to calm down because the God they worship is one. Today in this article, i want us to explore this with the guidance of the scripture. In this case i will focus on whether both Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
Do Both Christians and Muslims Worship The Same God?

SIMILARITIES
1.    Both Christians and Muslims believe in one God Who's the creator.
2.    Both Moslems and Christians believe God is powerful
3.    Both believe God is all knowing.
4.    God is Omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere at the same time.
DIFFERENCE
1.    TRINITY: Moslems don't believe in the biblical revelation of God as the Father, Son & and the Holy Spirit.
2.    INCARNATION: Moslems don't agree on the process of God's son coming as man, which is the incarnation. (Mary asked the angel, “How can this be? I’m a virgin.” The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy child developing inside you will be called the Son of God.
                        Luke 1:34-35) Also read (John 1:14
The Word became human and lived among us. We saw his glory. It was the glory that the Father shares with his only Son, a glory full of kindness and truth.) let's also look at (Colossians 2:9  All of God lives in Christ’s body,) Lastly let's read
(1 John 4:2-3, This is how you can recognize God’s Spirit: Every person who declares that Jesus Christ has come as a human has the Spirit that is from God. But every person who doesn’t declare that Jesus Christ has come as a human has a spirit that isn’t from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you have heard is coming. That spirit is already in the world.)
3.    SACRIFICIAL DEATH OF CHRIST Jesus overcame death by dying on the cross (The payment for sin is death, but the gift that God freely gives is everlasting life found in Christ Jesus our Lord.
                        Romans 6:23) Also, Acts   
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you. Then you will be my witnesses to testify about me in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he had said this, he was taken to heaven. A cloud hid him so that they could no longer see him. They were staring into the sky as he departed. Suddenly, two men in white clothes stood near them. They asked, “Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking at the sky? Jesus, who was taken from you to heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven.”
Acts 1:8-11.
4.    JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD:  God has sent His Son as the source of life (Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, he will see God’s constant anger.”
John 3:36). Jesus bore God's wrath so those who reject Him will near God's wrath in hell (Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so that freed from our sins, we could live a life that has God’s approval. His wounds have healed you.
1 Peter 2:24 ).
5.    ESSENTIALITY OF THE TRINITY: The importance of trinity is important in the way that Jesus had to die and atone for the sin of the world.
ARE CHRISTIANS & MOSLEMS WORSHIPPING THE SAME GOD?
To reframe the above question, we should focus on how Christians and Muslims understand God. Honestly, God in the holy bible dealt with sin by Christ Jesus' dying on the cross.
 “God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. Those who believe in him won’t be condemned. But those who don’t believe are already condemned because they don’t believe in God’s only Son. This is why people are condemned: The light came into the world. Yet, people loved the darkness rather than the light because their actions were evil.
John 3:16-19).
