Monotheism comes from a Greek word, (monos) meaning single, and theos, meaning god. From this it is evident that those who call themselves monotheistic, they believe and worship a single God.

The earliest known instance of monotheism dates to the reign of Akhenaton of Egypt.

Greeks, Romans and Egyptians all worshipped multiple Gods, one for each of the important facets of their lives. Around 2000 years ago, monotheistic religions began to emerge. Islam is fiercely monotheistic.

Muslims (followers of Islam) reject the Christian idea of a triune God, or one God who has three manifestations. Muslims believe this version of a monotheistic God is, in reality, a polytheistic God. They believe that Muhammad was a prophet of God but not a part of God (Allah) himself.

Muslims also believe that Jesus, who is believed by Christians to be part of the triune God, is in reality only a prophet of Allah.
