Detailed explanation-1: -Many later authors preferred the term monolatry-which is the worship of one god, whether or not the existence of other deities is posited-to the term henotheism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monotheism is the belief in one god.
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: -The term “monotheism” is derived from two ancient Greek words: mono (one) and theos (god). Therefore, monotheism is a religious belief that maintains that there is only one god. It is the opposite of polytheism, which is the belief in many gods.
