The abrahamic God, just one God and the same

What about the triune nature of the Christian God? (and yes.... not all Christians are trinitarians...)
That's very different to the God-concepts in Judaism and Islam

I think that christian trinitarians believe in the one God of Abraham but that they make a mistake when they believe God is a trinity
Of course. Anyone that believes something different than what you believe is clearly making a mistake.

Where to start? I think Christianity differs from the other Abrahamic religions in part due to being a Hellenised religion. As for God, yeah, I think it's all the same: That is, the same mystery beyond human comprehension, conceptualised in various ways across each and every culture throughout human history.
I'd disagree, the whole trinity thing is an enormous difference, I think it brings about a totally different God concept, despite the many similarities

I believe it is a mistake. People should believe in what they want. If other people is disagreeing with me, no problem. I just sharing what I believe
I completely agree that you believe this.

Thinking about this one god is like looking at the black background of your display pic and hoping that there is a highly intelligent super computer in that space that have 3d printed all the matter in the universe like protons , electrons with its strange quantum behaviors ...
The god in our book has said that , the life and its difficulty that we are going through right now is all part of an experiment ...
At least in our book , god have said that he also have a plan for people and their lives after their deaths ...
Depending on their deeds and behaviors

The god in our books says that he is the lord of the judgement day .
It is a quality or characteristic of that entity

No, I don't see it at all.
Nor would it be a good thing if HaShem, YHWH, Jesus, Allah and the melange deity of the Bahai Faith (each with all of their own variants, which are many) somehow turned out to be the same and one.
That would mean a sole god with, as they say in Islam, "No Partners" and which turns out to be either utterly insignificant even at its domain or quite, quite mad.
There is just no upside. But then again, the Abrahamic deities are remarkably dysfunctional.

I just genuinely do not know.
I'm a polytheist who focuses on the study of their own gods, and while I might dabble in the study of gods in other polytheistic traditions I pay very little time or attention to monotheist conceptions of gods.
Whatever the worshipers of that god say, sure. Whatever they just said. Even when those things they said inevitably conflict with one another. It's all true. Not really my place to tell them otherwise, just like it's not really their place to tell me what my gods are. They get to determine how they view their god(s) just as I do mine.

I believe in what was sent down to us from our Lord, the Quran, and I believe Muhammad is surely God's True Messenger. I believe in God, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers, Jesus, Moses, Abraham etc.
What I don't believe in is that Jesus is God or God's son or that God is three in one.
This is absolutely falsehood.
Exalted is God above what they associate with Him and what they wrongly say about Him.

So, what is the description of this god, that they all agree upon.
(or just the 41,000+ Christian denominations -
or just two random people sitting in the same pew)?
I disagree. The Father as described by Jesus is a loving, kind, compassionate, protective, truly fatherly God.
Similarly, the Islamic Allah is merciful, just, kind and compassionate - a Universal God for everyone.
The Hebrew YHWH on the other hand is a violent, jealous, merciless, even cruel 'God' - a tribal God exclusive to the Jews rather than a Universal God. In fact, in YHWH, the Hebrew 'created' a God in their own image and started worshipping him. I don't think there is much common between YHWH and Jesus's Father.
