Allah is the one true god, and anyone that sees Jesus or Yaweh is just being deceived by Satan. See? It is impossible for you to refute that without relying on some sort of belief, i.e. the bible says differently.
It doesn't work, because you're getting Satan from the bible in the first place, and as I explained above, Satan wouldn't reveal himself voluntarily. You could make a case from Islam, because it also mentions Satan, but there is a good argument against Islam in the bible.
First, Islam is a bastardization of Christianity and Judiasm, written 600 years after the fact. There is basically no difference between Islam and Mormonism. They both have so-called prophets receiving extra-biblical revelations from angels, and they both wrote new books for the bible claiming their revelation trumps everything else. This kind of deception was predicted:
Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
More specifically, that neither Muhammed or Joseph Smith heard directly from God. If you don't hear from God you're not a prophet..that's what makes you a prophet in the first place. They only received revelations from angelic messengers:
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
So, based on this I think it's reasonable to conclude that the bible is true over the quran.
Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
