Key learning points

Common misconception
That Muslims believe Allah is a different 'god' to the God of Christianity and Judaism.
Allah is Arabic for 'The God' and the Qur'an teaches that Allah is the God of the Abrahamic faiths. Moses/Abraham/Jesus and others are all significant prophets in Islam, and known through Arabic spellings of their names; they are the same prophets.
