Allah and God

An argument I’ve seen offered against Allah being the same god as the Christian god is that there is no possibility of Allah having a personal relationship with a human being. Allah, it is suggested, is an implacable punisher far beyond the personal; whose edicts are neither moral nor immoral merely absolute and the infractions of which draw vengeance.

This is an extraordinary claim. Many of the names of Allah imply a personal care. For instance:

The All- and Oft-Forgiving
The One who is forgiving and looking over our faults over and over again. He also protects us from the effects of our mistakes, in this life and the next so we may go on without shame or guilt. He is the One who can change our wrong deeds into good deeds.
