Jewish
`Elijah said, "I bring heaven and earth to bear witness that any human
being, Jew or Gentile, man or woman, freeman or slave, according to his
deeds, can become worthy of Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit,
the transcendental experience."
[Tana DeBei Eliahu Rabba 9] [Bahir II: 94]
The Chief Rabbi of Israel, H.H. Yona
Metzger has expanded the evolution of Jewish thought in the modern age
"Their respective Traditions
(Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu) teach that there is One Supreme
Being who is the
Ultimate Reality, who has created this world in its blessed diversity
and who has communicated Divine ways of action for humanity, for
different peoples in different times and places."

Muslim
Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians,
and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does
good, they shall have their reward
from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
(The Holy Quran 2.62)
"O mankind, We have created you from a
male and a female; And We have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you
may know one another. Verily, the most honorable among you, in the sight
of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you. Surely, Allah is
All-Knowing, All-Aware.
(The Holy Quran 49:14)
The name Allah is the same as the
Hebrew letter Alef,
our A, in the English alphabet.
This simple point contains enough information for every
Christian, Jew and Hindu to accept Allah as one of God's names.
