About
Who we are,
how we work
whoisallah.org.uk is for anyone who has wondered who Muslims mean when they say Allah, and how Jews and Christians speak of the same God of Abraham.
If you are Jewish or Christian, you will find your own tradition here in its own words, quoted from the JPS 1917 Hebrew Bible and the World English Bible. If we have something wrong, please tell us.
Our promises
Each faith in its own words. Jewish, Christian and Muslim beliefs are described from their own sources, and read by people from those faiths.
Wonder, not proof. Science shows how far creation goes. We never claim a verse “predicted” it.
We, not you. Every faith looks at itself first.
Every messenger honoured alike. “Peace be upon him” for the Prophet Muhammad, Moses, Jesus and every prophet; “peace be upon her” for Mary.
We never make a picture of God, any prophet or Mary. A few films we list do show prophets; their cards say so.
Human voices and human hands. Recitation and calligraphy are by people.
Sources on every page. Tap any scripture reference to read it in place; Bible texts are public-domain translations (JPS 1917, World English Bible).
Other people's work
We point to the best films, documentaries, channels and artists we can find, and send you to them to watch. Films and artwork are shown to comment on them, with credit and a link to where you can watch. If you made something here and want it changed or removed, tell us and we will review it promptly.
Privacy
Who is Allah? is an interfaith community project that belongs to us all. No company runs it. No sign-up, no comments, no advertising trackers. Videos from other sites only load when you press play. The children's pages store nothing at all. Your reading settings and where you left off are saved only on this device, in your browser’s own storage; nothing is sent to us, and you can clear it any time in your browser settings.
