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: -Monotheism is belief in a single god. This is different from polytheism, which is belief in multiple gods. Three of the most well-known monotheistic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. All three of these religions believe in the same God, who is all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tawhid constitutes the foremost article of the Muslim profession of faith, “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God. To attribute divinity to a created entity is the only unpardonable sin mentioned in the Quran. The entirety of the Islamic teaching rests on the principle of tawhid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Monotheism probably originated in Egypt in circa 1350 BC with the pharaoh Akhenaten. However, this particular form of monotheism quickly died out. The largest polytheistic religion in the world is Hinduism. Some Hindus practice henotheism, which is the worship of one god over other lesser gods.
