First, I will respond to your title question: God's First and Second Commandments, respectively, answer this question as to "How is God different from other gods?"
First Commandment: I Am The LORD Thy God.
Second Commandment: Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me.
These two Commandments are from the One True God, the Christian God. If other religions or belief systems do not believe in the First and Second Commandments of the Christian God they would not therefore believe in their True Creator. End of story according to our ONE True God.

Matthew 16:13-17
13*When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14*And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15*He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16*And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17*And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
These things matter not. How can a man call Jesus a son of God unless it's revealed to them from heaven? Flesh and blood does not reveal this.
You must equate the two! If God is not running the show, then their is another god beside Him. Again men deceive themselves.

God is everywhere!
The beliefs of the Islamic people are not centered on the God of Creatation. Not the ones that follow the Qur'an, there god of the Qur'an can do nothing, he is not able to answer the prayers of the the people. He can not heal anyone. He has never been able to open the eyes of the blind. He has no power whatsoever. the Islamic people that follow the god of the Qur'an do not believe Jesus is God.
They do not believe God to be there Father. Among many other things. If you want to know the god of the Qur'an read the Qur'an and what they that follow the Qur'an believe.
The beliefs based on the Qur'an are not Christian or Christianity. They are another religious sect. like all religion. It is the thoughts of man. Man's idea of who and what God is.
Understand there are Christians in Islam. There are Christians in every nation and country.
It is best you do a little research before making a claim you do not understant.
God will hold everyone of us accountable for what we say.
We will answer for every word we speak falsely.

1 John 2:18 (KJV)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22 (KJV)
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 (KJV)
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Tell that to a person who has been healed in the name of Allah. You may claim healing does not take place within islam but the increase speaks for itself! There are millions of muslims. How can you say that God is everywhere, and yet not in islam?
I don't have to read the qu'ran to understand it. I can look to us for that as most "christians" do not understand or adhere to the teachings of their own bible.

The religion of Islam is just that religion. God is not in religion. God is not part of religion, just as God is not in carved idols, made by man's hands.
Religion is man made.
God has no part in mans inventions.
Man is supposed to take part in God, not God taking part in man.
God does exist everywhere, but God will not go where he is not wanted. God does not dwell in the heart of a man that does not want him there. God takes no part in religion because religion does not want God there.
Do you go where you are not wanted??

Yes there are many many professing christians who do not understand or adhere to the teachings of the Holy Bible.
But what does that have to do with Islam and Allah??
For that matter what does that have to do with Christianity?
A person just saying they are a Christian does not make them a Christian.
I could go house to house telling people I am the king of England. Does that make the the King of England??
Not in the least.
Just because someone might say they are Christian, but not live the life style. Is not grounds to judge Christianity by there life style.
I you want to know who is Christian and who is not study the Holy Bible and then evaluate who is living the lifestyle layed out by God in his Holy Word.
Those are true Christians.
A true Christian will not place a title upon themselves.
When people ask me what religion I am I answer them that I do not practice religion. I am a follower of Christ.
So you are a Christian they may ask. I have to answer that is the lifestyle I live as a follower of Christ and his teachings.
So do not judge a faithful follower of Christ by those that only wear a title.

I'm here aren't I? Lol. Trust me most people do not want me here. I agree that God is not religion. That is why we must worship in spirit and truth. If a mighty healing took place under the name of Allah, was it the religion that performed the miracle or the Spirit that did the works?
God is not in neither a synagogue or a church. WE are made in His image!

You may go home and say you are the king of england and have never even seen england in your life. But if say to your little daughter, you are because she BELIEVES!
The Christ we all claim said all will be drawn to Him. Now it's up to a particular lifestyle?
Let me try it this way.... Have you crucified the flesh and thus have Christ within you?

Salvation through Jesus Christ alone brings us into a relationship with God and we have assurance of salvation because the Spirit of God bears witness within our spirit that we are children of God whereas in other religions, there is no assurance of salvation before God. In addition, we see the manifestation of God's grace in our lives such as inner peace from continual fellowship with Him, divine protection, provision, comfort, love, which no other gods can provide. God demonstrated the greatest love of all by sending His only Son to die for the sins of the world, this type of love cannot be found on earth. Salvation from Christ touches the heart (transforms the heart) which brings about manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit and holiness from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
John 6:35- And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 14:6- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 5:1- Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rev 21:6- And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Other gods are powerless but our Almighty God is invincible, He has authority over nature, over every kings and princes on the earth, over every principalities and powers, and demonic forces and He is the wonderful sustainer of the universe (even the animals, plants, every creature on earth is sustained by Him). The resurrection is the evidence of the divinity of Jesus Christ and the nucleus of Christianity. The power of Holy Spirit resurrected Jesus Christ from the dead and He is now sitting at the right hand of God, whereas other religious leaders remain in the grave. An empty grave proves my Savior lives. Amen

Let me be plain as 1,2,3.
God is running the show.
He is the One who sent His only begotten Son.
Allah has no Son therefore you cannot equate the two unless you are using fuzzy math.

Remember eternal life is not found in either book!
The verses I quoted earlier begins to explain these things.
Unless REVEALED FROM HEAVEN that Jesus is the son of living God, men will say He was all sorts of things.
It is the SPIRIT that does the works!
Now let's make it plain.
Is it lawful for God to do what He pleases with what He owns?
