God is the creator of the universe.  He is a trinity comprised of the [[Father]], the [[Jesus Christ|Son]], and the [[Holy Spirit]].  His [[creation]] of man is described in the [[Book of Genesis]] in the [[Bible]].  Belief in God (specifically, belief in [[Jesus Christ]] as your personal lord and savior) is a necessary condition to go to [[heaven]] (rather than [[hell]]) in the afterlife.

It's claimed that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism worship the same God in different ways. This claim is regarded by some as a way to convert Jews and Christians to Islam, since it supports the idea that Abrahamic religion has "grown" from Judaism to Christianity to Islam.<ref>http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm</ref> However, many are skeptical of this idea.<ref>http://www.letusreason.org/Islam6.htm</ref>

Common powers attributed to God include [[omnipotence]] (the ability to do anything) and [[omniscience]] (the ability to know anything) although even that level of detail is not common throughout all monotheists{{Fact|date=March2007}}. Many believers in God also believe that he eternally punishes the wicked in [[hell]] and eternally  rewards the righteous in [[heaven]] and variants of this theme are found in all the Abrahamic faiths.
