Muslims, on the other hand, expect the coming of two people at the same time: The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, and the predicted Mahdi. Muslims, according to Ibn al-Qayyim, are waiting for the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, to come down from heaven and the Mahdi, who would bring justice to the earth (Ibn Qayyim, 1999, p. 286).
For this reason, C.S. Lewis has famously said of Christian faith, "We trust not because 'a God' exists, but because this God exists.". [1] There are of course many Jews, Muslims, and Christians who believe all three faiths worship the same God, but through different expressions. We see this view suggested even in the Muslim's Koran:

The gospel itself will highlight the incompatibilities. Yet we must be aware that, though Muslims are conceptually monotheistic, the idea of God in Islam envisions
The Council on American Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, documented more than 10,000 anti-Muslim bias incidents from 2014-2019, and another 6,000 in 2020. The incidentsThis was replaced with the Islamic notion of a powerful but provident and merciful God. According to Francis Edward Peters, "The Qur'ān insists, Muslims believe, and historians affirm that Muhammad and his followers worship the same God as the Jews .
