Answer 1

Answer 2

You left out Judaism...

Since all three religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) claim to be Monotheist, first of all, you have to establish what Monotheism is. Monotheism is the belief in the oneness of God. God is one, single, indivisible, unique, one of a kind, never changing, all powerful, all knowing, and he is without a beginning or an end. That is the core belief. Secondly, you have to establish which of the three still has the scriptures intact and secured because without the “documentation”, i.e., the scriptures, you don’t have a leg to stand on.

Is Judaism truly a monotheistic faith? Yes, it is, just consider the verses “1 Chronicles 17:20”, “Deuteronomy 6:4”, “Isaiah 44:6”. Jews are strictly monotheistic in their religious affairs. Their core belief is that God is one, does not have a beginning or an end, he is all knowing, and all powerful and no one competes with him.

Is Christianity truly a monotheistic faith? Not really. Well, they say it is, but they also believe in the “Doctrine of Trinity”. Trinity is not in agreement with Monotheism, please read at the very top what monotheism is. Trinity designates a three-in-one composition of God. It states that The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same one being that is our God. In essence, Jesus and the Father is the same thing. Hence Jesus is God. If this is true then when the Father sacrificed His Son, did He kill Himself? After all, Jesus is the same God, right. Or did he kill a third of himself (trinity, get it)? But then the Christians say that Jesus is the Son of God actually. Now does that mean he is half a god, or is he a god in addition to the Father? After all how can one kill the other unless the one is separate from the other? We will also hear that when Jesus died he simply went back and, in a sense, merged back into the Father. If this is true then why would Jesus say “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30)”. This shows that Jesus is subordinate to the Father and he was sent by the Father, like a Prophet. And what about John 14:28: "My Father is greater than I”. Isn’t Jesus clearly saying he and the Father are not the same being? In a nutshell, when you try to defend Trinity, you cannot defend monotheism and when you try to defend monotheism you have to let go of the Doctrine of Trinity. Since Trinity and modern Christianity are inseparable, you cannot define Christianity as truly monotheistic.

Is Islam truly a monotheistic faith? Yes, it is. Just consider the following:
Quran 112 “Say, He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone." And again it says in the verse in Quran 2:225 "There is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His throne comprises the heavens and earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the All-Glorious."

Just as Judaism, Islam is very clear on monotheism. Question is who’s got the original text still intact. The Christian and the Jewish Bibles are translations of the original. And not just that, the translations have been translated and then further translations have been made from those translations. The original text is lost. Where is the actual Aramaic text of the words that Jesus spoke? Where is the original Torah that was handed to Moses or the immediate copy of the original text?

Islam is the only religion that still has the original text (in the old Arabic) that was revealed to Mohammad and then transmitted to his companions. Even God says in the Quran 15:9: “We have, without doubt, sent down the Message (Quran); and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)”. How has this been possible? First of all, the Quran was revealed to the prophet Mohammed over 23 years by arch angel Gabriel. It was memorized by the Prophet, dictated to scribes, and memorized by several memorizers. Every year, during the month of Ramadan, the entire Quran (whatever had been reveal by that time) was reviewed by the Prophet, and verified by the scribes and the memorizers. Additionally, every year new memorizers were added to the group who had memorized the entire Quran during the year. Once the Quran was complete, the practice of reading the entire Quran in the month of Ramadan continued. Also, the practice of memorizing the entire Quran also continued. After the death of the Prophet, the Quran was compiled into a single book by a committee of the original scribes and memorizers. From that copy other copies were made with the help of the original scribes and memorizers and distributed among world capitals of that time. A few copies have survived to this day. There is one in Turkey and one in Tashkent, to name a few. And by the way, the practice of reading the entire Quran in the month of Ramadan and also memorizing the entire Quran by memorizers still continues. Millions have memorized the entire Quran. Every year, during the month of Ramadan, during prayers all over the world, the Quran is recited in its entirety by memorizers and heard and read by millions. So, even if you burn every copy of the Quran in the world, we can recreate it very quickly. In essence, God has kept his word; he is protecting his Quran (Quran 15:9).

And that is why Islam is the only real monotheist religion. All others may have been true in the beginning, but now have lost their “originality”. People can misinterpret the meaning of the Quran but since we have the original we can always return to the original.
