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: -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-3: -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.
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.
