Detailed explanation-1: -The God of monotheism is the one real god that is believed to exist or, in any case, that is acknowledged as such. God’s essence and character are believed to be unique and fundamentally different from all other beings that can be considered more or less comparable-e.g., the gods of other religions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, Hinduism may be considered a monotheistic religion as most Hindus believe in one supreme god whose qualities and forms may be represented by a multitude of deities, all which emanate from Him. Hindus believe that The Brahman is manifested as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most striking features of Hinduism is the seemingly endless array of images of gods and goddesses, most with animal associates, that inhabit the colourful temples, and wayside shrines and homes of its adherents. Because of this, Hinduism has been called an idolatrous and polytheistic religion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Islam emerged in a polytheistic environment; although there were notable Jewish and Christian communities, most people living on the Arabian Peninsula believed in multiple gods. In contrast, the fundamental tenet of Islam was monotheism-the belief in one God alone.
